    How Did Gordon Sondland Think This Was Going to End?

    He paid $1 million for an ambassadorship and bought himself disgrace.

    That could apply to a whole litany of people associated with trump

    Mr. Sondland has redeemed himself and salvaged his character--- kudos to him.

    It's looking like Mr Sondlands deposition isn't aligning with testimony from several others. Evidently his efforts to save himself are going to backfire

    Is there anything that Trump isn't responsible for or part of? Used to be able to glean information from your posts now all we get is Trump Trump Trump. You're adding proof to your signature if nothing else though.

    I do not criticize trump on his politics nearly as much as I do on his lack of character---he is a disgrace to our country. He is virtually without ethics or morals. If you want to defend someone who goes around grabbing women by their private parts and bragging about it--and lying about anything and everything then have at it---but not me.

    Any truth coming out of trump is purely accidental--he didn't mean it

    As for Sondland disgracing himself---had I bought a position of honor and then dishonored the position by my actions that would be a double disgrace---if you are fine with that--that is up to you.

    I'm not fine with any of it. I wasn't fine with Clinton getting a head job in the oval office by someone other than his wife, I was quickly disregarded by all but one or maybe two. Clinton, ahhh it's ok. Trump. IMpeach him.All of them are the same everyone pulls it all together without making Trump the only villain even if he is. Our government is in a shambles and stands to be in worse shape come election and all we can do is point fingers. Bring Switzerland in to bring a non-bios agenda, Until then let them the politicians fall in a hole and let them get themselves out. They are all scum get them out and start electing people that get things done and don't promise anything. Staying on Trump day in and day out does absolutely nothing, blaming trump daily and night solves not a darn thing. Trump if he needs to go fine but he needs to go no faster than about 400 other politicians. If this sounds convuluted it probably is, it't beed a rough week, a hard week and it's late so give it you best shot, please.

    And yet it is so easy for everyone to see. Its ideology.

    Curt--to you it might be ideology---to me it is just old fashioned flat out lies.

    Im not saying the lies somehow flow from ideology - thats on Trump. Im saying which lies we choose to overlook are based on ideology. Its the same no matter which side of the street you are on.
