    You know Dave, each time I read the title of your thread I get a little more angry at the way things are. Neither you nor I should have to "pay a healthy sum" to know the truth about what our government is up to. Paid access is the problem

    Let the public see ALL the transcripts of the secret testimony in the black hole in the basement and let’s see the memos/transcripts of Joe Biden’s four phone calls to the corrupt Ukrainian President in the two days immediately after his successful extortion play he bragged about...all in the interest of that “transparency” the D’rats squeal about constantly.

    I don't have a problem with that suggestion, Joe. Bring it on.

    Personally, I wish they would just get on with it and finish. Everyone knows this is not going anywhere - even if the House indicts, the Senate will acquit.

    The whole thing is political with the Democrats pulling every dirty trick they can think of trying to make Trump look worse than he does all by himself. It is a disgrace to the Democrat party, it is a disgrace to the country it is a disgrace to the voters of both parties.

    I can't begin to imagine what it looks like to the rest of the world. I'm sure it has taken us down several notches in world esteem. And respect.

    Bastards all! And I include the Republicans in that.

    Big problem we can't "bring it on". The Dems are running the side show. They only let in what they want to let in. They only let speak who they want to let speak.

    But you just don't know how much the Trump haters are enjoying every minute of this even if it leads to nothing.

    New word for me. I had to look it up.
