Hello Aaron,

Serving the interests of a president is not what any politician
should do.  It is the interests of the constituents that is of utmost
importance.  To serve "we the people" rather than one specific person.

Alan Dershowitz: "If a president does something which he believes
will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the
kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment."

Translated into everyday language -

"If a president cheats to get elected, that's okay."

IOW, everything is about getting re-elected instead of serving
constituents and the nation.

The first three words of the US Constitution are "We the people" -
without mention of any others.  That is what the Framers of the
Constitution wrote, in their own words.  They did not write "I the
President" or "We the Members of Congress".  Their reference was
very clear and to the point.  "We the people" rule.  Those whom
we elect are to serve us.  Not the other way around.

>LL>The president was hired to do a job.  He failed miserably.  And now
>LL>it is time to remove him from office.  Before he does more harm.
>
>Some US presidents help foreign countries more than they help their own;

All US presidents have helped other countries.  But an isolationist
approach has been shown to have been detrimental to US interests.

>that's not the case with Trump.

How did that trade war he started with China go?  How did those
tariffs he enacted on other countries go in helping the US economy?
This "America first" policy of Trump has many flaws, as Democrats
will be pointing out this election year.

>People are angry about what he allegedly did to Ukraine, but nobody (in
> America) is angry about what he's done stateside or in Syria.

Ukrainians are plenty angry at Trump, and for good reason.
Their very survival is at stake, both as a country as well
as staying alive as individuals.  Kurds are also plenty
angry at Trump, both in Syria as well as everyplace else.
Those who are still alive, that is.

>LL>She is not the Senate majority leader who prevented a USSC nominee
>
>That's her (Diane's) own fault.

Not at all.  The LA Times misunderstood what she said.

>If she wants Democrats calling the shots in the Senate, then she needs to
> push her candidates to campaign harder.

Oh, Joe Biden will carry California by at least a two-to-one
margin over Donald Trump.  Maybe even three-to-one.  And with
almost 40 million [legal] people in California alone, that is
a lot of votes.

>LL>She is not the self-admitted sexual predator who put an unconvicted
>LL>rapist on the court.
>
>If Brett Kavanaugh is an "unconvicted rapist," then women who do late-term
> abortions (and doctors who perform them) are "unconvicted murderers."

Speaker Pelosi is a practicing Catholic, and a mother.  Very
much pro-life, in every respect.  She has publicly stated her
own views about religion, and why she is Catholic.

Not sure what religion Trump is, as he keeps changing from
one version to another.  Kind of like a chameleon who never
knows what color he will be from one day to the next.
