But I like watching Donald stumble over saying it.

Extortion whatever the **** you want to call it. But hearing a bunch of ****s on the news parrot the same phrase makes them all sound like idiots who don't know how to use their own words.

Yeah.. why get caught up in semantics while having a discussion about semantics.

It could be related to the fact that "no quid pro quo" is the number 1 defense/talking point used by Trump and co.

Even so, many Democrats and pundits have made it clear that a quid pro quo isn't necessary for impeachment.. e.g. "abuse of power" being used as an alternative charge.

OK... So how about you just show us the corpse before you throw it in the ocean. The number 1 super power in the world and they're disposing of a body of a known enemy the way mobsters do. Yea this feels right.
Y'all can add another one to your list of terrorist leaders sleeping with the fishes.

Gen. Frank McKenzie told reporters Wednesday that al-Baghdadi died after he exploded a suicide vest just before U.S. troops were going to capture him.

McKenzie says two children were killed in the explosion set off by the Islamic State leader.

The U.S. said earlier that three children were killed.

U.S. forces raided the compound in northwestern Syria on Saturday. There were no U.S. casualties.
Yes. The children were killed by a terrorist. Not the men running at them with guns.
