Yeah, I think you should familiarize yourself with the word 'evidence' a little more. It obviously doesn't mean what you think it means. Quit getting all your info from the fake news channels, CNN has nothing you need to hear. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Judge Nap has been anti-Trump since POTUS refused to nominate him for the SCOTUS https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/441009-trump-foxs-napolitano-asked-me-to-pardon-his-friend-put-him-on |

I listened to many of the hearings, have read a lot about the whole case, and don't see the overwhelming evidence. I do see a call that was not "perfect" but also does not rise to the bar of impeachment in my opinion. I also thought the actual crime committed by Clinton did not rise to that level. Impeachment in both cases was more political than criminal; both are not good for the future. We disagree. And didn't find a crime? Government Accountability Office disagrees with you. But I'm sure they're just "deep state" too. "The Government Accountability Office released a review Thursday stating that the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap broke a law mandating that Congress be informed of prisoner transfers from Guantanamo. The review handed opponents of President Obama powerful reinforcement of two of their key critiques: that Obama routinely oversteps his executive authority, and that his maneuvers on foreign policy make the country less safe. But the actual effect of the letter from the nonpartisan agency may be only that — that it becomes a political talking point." "A review of the GAO's past determinations of illegality shows that the consequences of those decisions vary widely — and that the substance of the charge has always fallen far short of allegations that the chief executive violated federal legislation." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/08/22/the-gao-says-the-bergdahl-swap-was-illegal-in-the-past-that-hasnt-resulted-in-much/ They have determined a lot of things...it means very little.
I don't like Trump calling people names but it isn't like the left doesn't continue to call legal voters "deplorables" while at the same time trying to undermine the sanctity of our elections. Yes, we should have IDs to vote. We should prevent non-citizens from voting.
He also has many, many well educated folks on his side. Yeah, he shouldn't have said that, but there are things said in every election cycle (and all the time) that people should say. Bring on a candidate who can beat him in the election. |

So Trump says one thing and Judge Nap says the other. Trump is a serial liar who cannot tell the truth about anything (he said 10+ false things at his Davos press conference just yesterday alone) and while I admittedly don't know a ton about Judge Nap, I haven't seen any reports of him being uncovered to tell 15,000 falsehoods and misleading statements. You can choose for yourself who to believe. |

!5,000 falsehoods and misleading statements? Do you have a link to a list? I wonder if Trump saying the temperature is 50˚ would be deemed misleading if the actual temperature was 51˚ ? |

We since pretty much everything you have said on this forum about Trump is a "falsehood" I would say your count is getting pretty high as well. Certainly too high for anyone to believe you. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Yeah? Show me the money. What have I said about Trump that isn't true? I have no problem saying I'm wrong when I'm wrong. |

Well, he's their mole at Fox. He's been a Trump hater since Trump snubbed him from a SCOTUS position. He hates Trump's guts now. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
