I agree wholeheartedly with staying out of US politics but how often does a smaller nation have a chance to kick Donald Trump in the balls.

Trump interfered in Ukrainian politics and Zelensky can now turn around and respond in kind.

The concerns from the anti-Zelensky voters in Ukraine were that Zelensky didn’t have the experience to successfully navigate the international community and would get pushed around in a time when it was critical that they receive aid from foreign countries. Getting immediately extorted for aid over relatively irrelevant political motives and showing how few fucks their most valuable ally gives in the middle of a war hasn’t been a great look for him and he’s not going to do anything to piss off trump or endanger that aid.

After day one of this poo poo show, try to imagine the world in which the loving clown car of house Rs and Trump manage to both craft a compelling message and then stay perfectly on message (while also not committing new impeachable crimes) between now and when the Senate votes to remove office

That's why I think he's going to get removed. Like wtf does the path to not getting removed even look like that has any non-zero chance of existing

Yeah I get it now, it just sounded like it was going into needless direction or that he was trying to setup some stupid dunk. I thought it was still a GOP member questioning him.

The Republicans are still more afraid of getting primaried by someone even more loyal to Trump, than of losing to the Dems. They're not going to remove him.
