Now that there is little doubt that Trump did what he was accused of...

I think you're just using the Trump issue as an excuse to vent your frustrations with the Democratic Party. I don't blame you for being disappointed and frustrated with them...a lot of people who are registered democrats are. I'm independent myself and I'm also disappointed.

But nothing in what you just posted is a defense of Trump's actions, you didn't even mention his name once. Or anything about the case against him. You're just repeating what I've heard dozens of republicans say, either implicitly or explicitly: Trump is corrupt but we don't like Democrats, and that counts more than what is right.

Your "there's two kinds of people" philosophy works beautifully in that way of thinking. If trump wins, so do you. Well, he probably will, so congrats on that and it'll be fine in the short term for sure, but not in the long haul. The republicans have opened a can of worms that they can't close now. I already see one or two Democratic politicians who I think are taking several pages out of the Trump playbook. And maybe they'll be just as corrupt and win and then the Democrats are going grin when Republicans say "but what about he rule of law" and they'll shout back "Remember when Trump did it tho?"

That's just how corruption works, it doesn't go away because the person doing it also did good and right things. It leaves a legacy that we will continue to live with forever.

I'm not asking people to become independents like myself and I'm certainly not asking them to become Democrats. I'm not even necessarily saying that Trump should definitely be impeached.

Shucks, I won't even try to talk you out of not voting for him since you're convinced that any Democratic candidate is and will be corrupt. If that's what you really believe, bias or not, follow your conscience.

All I'm saying is, ESPECIALLY if you're a Trump supporter...hold him accountable. That doesn't necessarily mean don't vote for him. Write him a letter. Tweet about how you're disappointed in his actions. Say that American Presidents should not ask foreign leaders to investigate their American citizens to your family and friends. Or something, I don't know. But do SOMETHING.

I hardly ever drink. But 24 oz beer really sounds nice on a 3 degree evening

Fosters is nice, I like the lager, I've never been big on ale.

Are you talking about the beer?

I mean, don't if you're underage, otherwise...I think foster's is ok, it's better than a lot of american beer.

.....Because, as we all know, the truly high and mighty crimes will begin (once again), the instant a Dem is voted in.

So this alone kinda displays a deep seated bias within yourself that I think would be good for you to work on, for the sake of the intellectual part of your life. It's one thing to disagree on policy, it's another thing to say "any democratic president elected will be corrupt."

We all have biases, but we need to really challenge ourselves not to just shut our ears every time someone of a different point of view opens their mouth. Being open to listen to others and possibly change your view is not a sign of weakness, but of strength.

I think you can reasonably disagree as to whether or not what Trump did is impeachable, but it's clear that he did something deeply corrupt when lives were at stake. He's unapologetic about it, and not being chastised by his supporters for it, and so he will do everything in his power to repeat it.

Some Republicans have been honest enough to admit that what he did was wrong, though they aren't showing the strength to follow through on that belief and demand the President apologize and acknowledge his mistake. They are mumbling acknowledgements of wrongdoing as quietly as possible hoping that Trump supporters like yourself won't hear it. Others are just delusional. Ted Cruz made a statement about his vote tomorrow that basically implied that what Trump did is impeachable, but only if a Democratic President does it. Rubio said that just because an offense is impeachable, it doesn't mean that you should actually impeach the President. These statements sound outrageous and made up, yet they did make them. I can't pull up Ted Cruz's statement because I don't think it's online yet, but here's rubio's: https://medium.com/@SenatorMarcoRubio/my-statement-on-the-presidents-impeachment-trial-9669e82ccb43

But I think that it doesn't really matter how ridiculous and contradictory these statements are, you don't take that as a sign of the weakness of the President's defense. You just hear "Democrats wanted this from the beginning" and stop listening, or at least stop caring.

I think they really need to pass specific laws saying that what trump did is illegal, so that this maybe has a smaller chance of happening again.

I have a question about a male friend.

As a male lizard, based on what you said above he was probably just trying to be encouraging. You expressed frustration and he said something to encourage you. I can see myself doing the same thing without intending to flirt.

If he is dating someone and now decides to flirt that is something i would not touch with a ten foot poll. You don't need that drama.

i just quit this site.

I don't know if your the same person who was complaining about this a few weeks ago, but I'll say what I said then: You're really getting worked up over the fact that maybe three people of the twenty who will view this site in a given week won't see your post.

Trust me. The people who you would want to be responding to your post are gonna see it.

Everyday I want to crawl into a hole and be alone.

I've felt the same way, about being over sensitive. I have gotten quite upset over people's honest telling me of certain flaws I have before. I would just get very confused and disassociate. Last night a friend told me something blunt, not in a mean way, but in a concerned way, and I was able to take the criticism mostly gracefully, and I am proud of myself for that.
