I don't really get it. Everything appears to be hearsay, and the likely-hood that it'll pass the senate is slim. Pearl-clutching over strong-arming another nation, even if true, doesn't do anything for me. We've been at war almost the entirety of our nation's history. And the hegemonic power since WWII. We've been up to a lot of bad shit that current politicians have been around for. Pelosi was around when I was in high school in the 90s. These politicians have no principles outside of themselves and their donors. They need to keep us fighting so we don't arm ourselves and go after their mansions.
Both parties, love war, too big to fail banks, NSA collecting all your dick pics, and strong-arming weaker nations. None of them are for us. Trump's saving grace, if he had any grace at all, would be that he's not a career politician. He's just a sign of a larger problem. The fact that our choices in 2016 were a reality TV star and the war-monger lizard queen just goes to show how far the rot has advanced.
