Not really all that shocking...
The president was loyal to Russia and anti EU. He aligned himself with Putin/Russia in rejecting EU membership. The people want EU membership, not further distance from Western Europe.

Too bad the "two bit little twerp demagogue" doesn't abide by the Constitution. Originally Posted by LexusLoverLL, that is the fault of the Congress. The Constitution gives a very definite remedy when a President, or a member of the Judiciary, oversteps it's bounds. It is called impeachment and removal.

Not surprising since many eastern Ukrainians are ethnic Russians. Crimea didn't want membership either. In fact, they overwhelmingly voted to go with Russia. The whole Ukraine mess is the result of an EU power play.

But what we have now is one house of the Congress, the Senate, controlled by a party that would much rather stay busy giving the President a blow job with a two finger reach around than curbing his abuse of power.
These are the people who put Party first, and Country second. It is a flaw in our system. That leaves only elections. But when you reach the point to where those that take outnumber those that put in, then you are stuck with smarmy little Demagogues who are willing to promise these voters anything, while rarely delivering on anything.
The best example of this is the Black Communities almost universal support for anything the a Democrat will run on. But what has it got them since the greatest panderer of all time, Lyndon Johnson, herded them all into slum projects and told them they could be sorry and lazy, the Government would take care of
them? The highest out of marriage birth rate, the highest imprisonment of it's young men, and the highest unemployment rate of all ethnic groups.
