The "quid pro quo" was trying to get election interference for military aid, a personal favor...to say the least. Above, you describe a situation in which one nation asks another something in return for help that benefits the national interest. These aren't even in the same wheelhouse, so no, no double standard is required. Just the usual one, as described by our laws..which the president has broken, lied about, and tried to cover up.
The presidential salary is peanuts, and worth nothing compared to the perks of presidency, or the perks of saddling our government with your ill-bred spawn, inlaws, and hangers-on.
Yes, the president has damaged the US. Getting rid of him will not undo the damage, but it will prevent him from causing more. What posters in hong kong have to do with that...I can't even begin to say.
: shrugs :
Yes, it's expected to die along partisan lines OP. Sometimes people just won't do their jobs, but that's never a good reason for another person to quit doing theirs. I think that it's a shame that it had to come to this...and that this is what it's come to. President crime spree has been doing impeachable things since he took office. The lesson appears to be that you can shit on the rule of law, build concentration camps, and grift the ever living fuck out of the government as long as you don't try to extort the president of Ukraine.
