Bazookas, Rocket launchers and Morters are what you go to when someone mentions gun control? Weird. The rest of America thinks about banning assault weapons and semi-automatics. You don’t seem to be able to follow simple logic. If anyone wants to ban assault weapons or semi-automatics, they are in fact asking citizens to give up their guns.

I never said I wanted assault weapons banned and I don't recall poppaj saying that. Then again I'm not stalking him.

Michael D'Antonio, Trump biographer, re the House Intelligence Committee report (I can't say it better than this):
"As revealed in the report, Giuliani, Nunes, Pence, Perry, Pompeo and Mulvaney are glaring examples of the kind of behavior Americans fear is common at the upper reaches of power. They are depicted in the report as people of poor character who are devoted to winning by any means necessary. (All of them have denied wrongdoing and have contended their actions were proper.)Your character is what you do when no one is looking. It is driven by virtues like honesty, respect for others, reverence for the law. All of these people appear to lack these virtues. They've gone around doing manipulative and deceptive things and striven to keep them secret."
"That they made their way to power is no surprise given who Trump is. Like attracts like in this case. Besides, who else was Trump going to draw near? In rare cases where he has attracted top talent like James Mattis and Gary Cohn, he has been unable to keep them. The ones who stick are the ones who have been tested and shown themselves either to be weaklings or suck-ups who are OK with schemes, conspiracy theories and lies.
These events are tragic for the country, tragic for the individual plotters and their families and tragic for the GOP. Redemption for the country lies in the truth -- and impeachment."
Two words are missing in the last quoted sentence, in my estimation: and removal.

You can’t take Schiff seriously?
Nunes tells Schiff he needs 'rehabilitation' after IG report: 'Admit you have a problem'

What is the matter with you people? Adam Schiff is doing the job he swore an oath to perform. He is defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Do you really want other countries to be able to interfere with our elections? Do you understand what that means? Can you picture the oligarchs in Russia, China, Ukraine, Etc. basically paying to make sure their puppets gets elected to run the government of the United States? This is what is happening. This is not a witch hunt. This is not a hoax. Trump has been caught in a major abuse of power that has ramifications way beyond this impeachment. Stop defending a totalitarian, or we all lose.

Why does he continually lie? He repeatedly claimed to have proof Trump collaborated with the Russians. Yet, Mueller said no America collaborated with the Russians. The memo he put out in response to Nunes Fisa abuse memo was discredited by the IG report. He railed against a partisan impeachment just a few years ago.

He is frustrated because quite obviously the Republican Senate is willing to let this country become a totalitarian regime. The congress and the judiciary are suppose to be safeguards against one branch of government taking over control permanently. Obviously, you are OK with the oligarchs controlling everything.

Why does Trump continually lie? Do you not see it? Schiff made an error saying he had evidence of collusion. But in this case he had 17 very credible witnesses corroborating everything about the president’s abuse of power. Trump tried to extort a foreign government to influence our elections. Period.

Both Kamala Harris and Michael Horowitz agree that the law should be changed to make it easier for the inspector general to investigate the attorney general. Watch, and it becomes apparent that Trump would rather see Ms. Harris back on the campaign trail.
