>Fake News @CNN & MSDNC keep talking about “Lt. Col.” Vindman as though I should think only how wonderful he was. Actually, I don’t know him, never spoke to him, or met him (I don’t believe!) but, he was very insubordinate, reported contents of my “perfect” calls incorrectly, & was given a horrendous report by his superior, the man he reported to, who publicly stated that Vindman had problems with judgement, adhering to the chain of command and leaking information. In other words, “OUT”.

tbh i'm not fond of how some of the GoP is treating Romney. i can understand wanting to remove him from the caucus. if he's not consistently voting with the caucus, it makes little sense to carry him on it.
this 1 vote though, has just isolated him from the party. literally everyone is baring teeth. it would have been a mature look to accept his decision even when in disagreement, and let him finish out his term with the caucus. (don't think he's removed from caucus yet though)

to what i've read about Nixon, he "needed" to be impeached. granted i have not spent a large amount of time into the subject and could have read all my comparative facts from only 1 side.
to what i recall though, Nixon was doing a lot of cover-up. not by firing and replacing people to create a more efficient system, but by sending secret teams to destroy political opponents offices or worse.

Haha.

Those dudes kissed their jobs away the second they took the stand.

Rand Paul even outed the whistleblower.

These dudes are gonna get fucked lol.

Obama and Trump have both been very cruel to whistleblowers. We need real legislation to protect them, lest we want the chief executive to have even more potential for corruption.

I'm okay with waiting until the next Democratic President to do it once a Republican Congress is on board to limit their whsitleblower punishment powers. The GOP will not do it if a member of their own team is in the Oval Office. That's okay, I just want what is best for the country in the long-term.

Once again Trump shows us he runs the White House like a capo, demanding unquestioning loyalty of you will be purged.

It's gonna take a long time for the value of the Office and the Presidency to get back to what it was, if that's even possible.

What Nixon has going on was very very tame compared to what trump has going on.
