Really? You think Obama's campaign filing a report 48 hours after a deadline is the same thing as Trump personally trying to circumvent election laws?
Obama's campaign missed a deadline (a civil infraction) - and paid a fine of $375,000 dollars for it. What do you think the punishment for Trump falsifying a Public Financial Disclosure Form (a felony) should be?
i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.
initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.
however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

This is an incredibly thoughtful and well spoken response to what's going on. I can't think of a better thing for you to say to those studying with you. Just be honest with them - they probably have no idea how you feel.
There's no need for subterfuge or passive responses. You're clearly more than capable of expressing yourself. :)

Simon, I'm not really sure why you're trying to make this a partisan issue. If Obama committed campeign finance violations than he should go to jail. Pure and simple.
But no matter what Obama did or didn't do - it doesn't change the fact that if Trump broke these laws he should be kicked out of office for cheating in the election. Period.

Are you aware that violating the Federal Election Campaign Act Title 52 is a felony?
Are you aware that falsifying a Public Financial Disclosure Form is also a felony?
The checks Trump signed are evidence that Trump committed these two crimes - at the very least. Make no mistake, Trump is in serious legal jeopardy. If he were in any other office or if he were a private citizen he'd already be in handcuffs. The only thing protecting him right now is DOJ guidelines not to indict a sitting president.

Do you think violating campaign finance laws and lying on financial forms breaks the law?
i was hoping to get some advice on what to say to a parent who wouldn’t support you to get married to a “worldy person”.
always bringing up “marry only in the lord” even when that hasnt worked out for the parent, twice divorced lol.
is there a way to discredit that scripture or argue back respectfully without giving away that you are pimo?.
Sometimes it's best to stand up for what you believe in. There's nothing wrong with saying, I believe that marriage between two people is greater than any finite set of religious beliefs. I believe that "marry in the lord" is not strictly limited to only those who ascribe to JW theology. I believe it's not 'a god" or "gods" that keep two people together but rather the substance and the dedication of their love that makes a marriage work. I've seen non-believers married for decades and I've seen JWs who are only married for a few short years. And I believe that exposing yourself only to those who agree with you is a pathway to failure. It stunts our emotional growth and greatly limits the awesome range of the human experience.
etc.

It's all pantomime at this point. The 2020 election will happen before they get to any impeachment effort even if they ever summon up the will to do so.
I honestly don't see what your objection is. Just because it may take a while to impeach Trump doesn't mean it's not worth doing. If Trump cheated to get into office - if he broke campaign finance laws paying off porn stars and/or if he conspired with the Russians to influence the elections - than he should be kicked out of office regardless if it's his first term or his second term.
Just because it may take some time to right a wrong doesn't mean it's not worth making the effort to do so. Congress has a responsibility to provide checks and balances on the Executive Branch. And I think we're all better off if we can get to the bottom of this. If Trump is innocent, than his name can be cleared and we can move on. If he broke the law, than he should be removed from office.

I definitely DON'T think Cohen is a patriot. But I do think his testimony shone a light on the mob like nature of our President. And I think it was a disgusting display of tribalism by the Republican's who attacked Cohen over and over again to try and provide cover for their guy instead of providing a check or balance on the executive branch like they're supposed to.
Cohen has already been prosecuted and convicted. Nobody want's our tax dollars wasted in Congress re-litigating Cohen's felonies. However, what we do want is an honest assessment and discovery process of the the President's corrupt and illegal actions.
a woman gets an abortion.
the baby is supposed to die because of the abortion but doesn’t.
should that living baby be put to death or should the baby be given medical help to survive?.
Termination of a pregnancy means the women no longer wishes to be pregnant - but it says nothing about what happens to the child after it's removed. With current technology, a late term baby can be kept alive outside of the womb.
Women have a right over their own bodies. But when the baby is removed from the body - I believe we as a society have an obligation to step in and save the baby if we can.
But allow me to ask you a question, if a women has a baby should we pass legislation that she absolutely has to keep the child? Or would our society be better off if we supported institutions that cared for and found homes for children put up for adoption?
