I do not support impeachment of President Trump. I have just read the whistleblower complaint made available to House Intelligence Committee Members. I believe strongly in transparency and it should be immediately declassified and made public for the American people to read.

I had to check, but no surprise here. I was going to be mad if she were a Democrat.

RW nut so I'm not surprised she's using GOP talking points and taking the side of the traitor 'n thief. Unfortunately the area I'm in is full of Faux News watching die-hard Cult45ers like her and worse.

Thankfully there's also a number of better educated and sane people in the district so there's at least a chance we might get rid of her someday.

This one was against holding children in cages, but there are regular protests there. She not only never shows up or addresses them, but doesn't publicize her schedule ahead of time because protesters regularly show up.

Deal with what I think she sees as the local riff raff and not just protesters. She definitely doesn't work for the people in this poor rural area but they keep buying what she's selling even to their own and their children's detriment.

There were protests right after her very first election! I took that as a hopeful sign!

we keep running into die-hard Trump supporters up near us and it's truly rather cult like how they feel. I place a lot of the blame on Fox being one of the only local channels you can get up here with an antenna.

To me, they had to be a whole different species! But awhile back I was having a conversation with a girl I know who held a meetup for one of the numerous contenders for the congressional nomination and two women who I've known for years and always liked started saying to each other that they thought that Trump was "doing a good job!" And agreed with each other that they had FOX "on all the time!" I not only haven't felt the same way about them since, but it's scary as hell that they really are among us!

Under all of the rocks around here. In many ways this area is so unlike downstate it's almost like it a different world.

and released to the public, so when tRump/Barr block the release, she can go on Faux News and claim “I saw it. There’s nothing there,” safe in the knowledge her LIE cannot be directly challenged.

Rs are scum.
