Flagpole,
Some of your beliefs are extreme. None of your summary means I can't agree with some of Trump’s policies and not be stupid, insane, or a racist. I don’t have to defend his behavior anymore than I need to attack yours. I like Elizabeth Warren even though she has bent or stretched the truth. I much prefer a 2020 Warren/Trump match-up to months of what I believe is a contrived impeachment inquiry. I am just responding to your rants, dictates, views, etc. Other than that I don’t really take offense to anything you have written, brother.

You speak in VAGUE TERMS, brother.
1) Name an extreme position of mine.
2) I have NEVER said you "can't agree with some of Trump's policies" and not be racist, stupid or insane. THAT would be ridiculous. I said you can't support HIM, (meaning him as President) after what he has done and not be either JUST stupid or racist, and you can't. There is a VERY big difference between those two things. Use your noggin, brother.
3) I did not tell you to defend his behavior (do you need someone who can help you understand the written word?) I told you to defend YOUR moral stance in defending him. And, you DO have to defend your moral stance about supporting him when you attack me as "moralizing" and "thinking for all of [you]". This phrase has never been so on point - put up or shut up.
4) I see you went on a tangent now with Warren, but since you did, you have the gall to say she bends the truth when you support a serial liar? There is no equivalency with Trump to ANY current or former US politician. He wants to be a king. Well, he's KING of that...lying. Shame upon you for looking the other way on his serial lying. Shame.
5) Saying this is a contrived impeachment inquiry is beyond ridiculous...sorry, brother but that is a flat out stupid statement. Trump has committed a crime. He has admitted to it. The readout of the phone call confirms. We have evidence of quid pro quo (and that's not even needed). His crime involves holding up bi-partisan congressional support for a country that is being attacked by Russia. Not only illegal to do so, but beyond inappropriate and cruel.
It's all pretty easy, brother. Trump is a BAD guy. He's a criminal. He has put our nation in a very bad spot, opening himself up to blackmail, causing a security issue for our country and making us potentially beholden to a foreign power. Rebuking him is the only correct opinion...unless you are FOR the downfall of our great country.
Do better. Debate better. Use facts to support your views. Be a better person. Be a smarter person. Right now, you are failing on all cylinders.
