This is NOT a political issue to be. It is a matter of Honor.
It is abhorrent to me, as it should be for all Americans to watch Trump turn his back on the Kurds who died alongside our troops.

What the President has done to the Kurdish people is a disgrace to my country, my flag, my service in the military, to me personally, to our Allies - but none more than to the Kurdish men and women who gave their lives fighting ISIS alongside American troops. They are the reason we were able to get to the heart of the Caliphate. Now, they are being slaughtered and displaced by Turkish forces - primarily Turkish backed Arab militias.
What Trump did was virtually give the Turks the green light to Genocide and the taking of Syrian territory to use for settlements. He has stated more than once, "If the Turks go too far," he will destroy their economy with sanctions.
Apparently launching a full-scale military invasion of a sovereign nation, (it doesn't matter it happens to be Syria) with expressed intent of "cleansing the land of all terrorists" - then populating the stolen land with their own settlements and approved citizens isn't "going to far."
Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of our Kurdish Allies are already being driven from their homes, while many of their friends and families are dying from the Turkish onslaught.
Soon, the tens of thousands of ISIS members and their families will be escaping from the detention camps. How? The majority of the Kurdish guards have gone north to meet the invasion by Turkey.
Impeachment, if it happens, won't be enough for the man who abandons our Allies, shreds our constitution, invites our enemies to participate in influencing our political process and has the moral compass of a pit viper. Trump hasn't done one thing to improve America as an Entire Nation, not even for many who voted for him. The farmers are suffering. The coal miners are not getting new jobs. Mexico isn't paying for a wall. His trade war has hit every American citizen in the wallet. He made promises he couldn't keep, and blames his failures on others. He spreads baseless lies on debunked conspiracy theories. He profits financially from his personal investments at the expense of the American Tax-payer.
Donald Trump doesn't have an inkling of what Americans who aren't rich deal with. He gave permanent tax cuts to the Corporations and temporary to the people. Members of his own Party have spoken out against him, only to be assaulted in the Media by Trump and his lackeys. The MINORITY of Americans who support him need to wake up! Trump's only concern is Trump's personal agendas..
Trump has been surrounded by advisors, appointees, supporters and friends who are being arrested, charged and convicted of crimes. Those people are a reflection of the personality at the center of their focus - Trump.
He hasn't made America greater - he has brought shame and disgrace to her. He has disgraced his oath and the office he holds. President or not, he is a despicable human being - corrupt and immoral; showing contempt for our constitution, checks and balances and the rule of law.
Please, spare me your partisan rhetoric. This isn't about politics. If you think it is? You have eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear.
