Yep! :)

A closed-door gathering with U.S. diplomats in New York, and what does Trump do? Whine like a little bitch about Biden and the Whistleblower.

He did a little more than just whine...he called those that would be called on to provide testimony in the impeachment hearings “spies” and made clear that he believed that the “spies” deserved to be executed for speaking out against him.

This is Trump’s brilliant presidency:

The call between Trump and the Ukrainian President occurs the day after Robert Mueller testifies about the Russian interference in our 2016 elections.

Trump threatens anyone involved in the Whistleblower complaint the day after Pelosi announces the impeachment process has officially started.

Timing is everything!

There's video too, Russ:

A closed-door gathering with U.S. diplomats in New York, and what does Trump do? Whine like a little bitch about Biden and the Whistleblower.

Trump told Russian officials in 2017 he wasn’t concerned about Moscow’s interference in U.S. election

President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the U.S. election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials to limit access to the remarks to an unusually small number of people, according to three former officials with knowledge of the matter.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trump-told-russian-officials-in-2017-he-wasnt-concerned-about-moscows-interference-in-us-election/2019/09/27/b20a8bc8-e159-11e9-b199-f638bf2c340f_story.html

The day after he fired Comey!?

Audio was released of Trump expressing a wish to know the identity of the whistleblower’s sources and alluding to retaliation against those officials. Trump said: “I want to know who’s the person, who’s the person who gave the whistleblower the information? Because that’s close to a spy. You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart?”

Whistleblowers are NOT spies...they are often the real HEROES in these cases!

and then once in the office, the Trump administration decided to hide all their evidence on the system belonging to the Intelligence Community.

Ba-dum-bum-CHING=tssss!

First Republican breaks away: Republican Congressman Mark Amodei of Nevada announces support for impeachment.

Trumpertantrum on Twitter in 3... 2... 1!

I'm completely with you on that.

We're right about this too, Balthy. Make Rudy sit through witness after witness and watch him hop from program to program -- network to network -- spewing his ignorant guts and bugging out with every word of testimony about him. Just try and shut him up!

Rudy has been going to the Ukraine since January 2019 and trying to shake them down about the conspiracy bullshit surrounding "CrowdStrike" and the "server"... as if it's one damn server and not hundreds of a cloud-based network. Trump is being snowed by Putin's dezinformatsiya (disinformation) wherein Russia is blaming Ukraine for their handiwork in the 2016 election. They're trying to prove Putin's conspiracy bullshit. The same bullshit Trump was spewing in Helsinki.

Go back and read the transcript from Helsinki... the very last questions at the end of the presser from Jonathan Lemire. See if it rings any bells when compared to the telephone call Trump had with Zelensky:

Trump: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you're surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it if that's possible.
...
Trump: Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that's really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved.

No one would describe Viktor Shokin as "very good" except Putin... who is still leading Trump around by the nose with the conspiracy theory bullshit about the DNC hacking themselves and the Seth Rich murder, etc. etc!

Trump and Giuliani have bought "all in" to Putin's dezinformatsiya and trying to rewrite the Mueller Report and clear himself, Manafort, and Stone while at the same time squashing Biden... using the State Department and taxpayers' dollars.

Bottom Line: "All The President's Men" are covering up for Trump's abuse of power.

Unfortunately, the United States has been run by Globalists for the last 90 years or so. What Trump is doing, is UN-doing our global alliances, defense and trade arrangements.

This is Putin. If the West can become lots of little, independent countries, rather that one large bloc, if sure makes it easier to squeeze.

They know Trump is full of shit just like the rest of us do, but for them it has become more about attacking whatever liberals support than having a healthy and functioning government.

Ain't that the truth! They whine incessantly about their love for the Constitution and 'Merica and patriotism, but they don't give two shits about this country.

The "dirty little secret" behind their cult-like worship of Benedict Donald is the hatred they've been spoon-fed by the right-wingnut machine and the fact that they believe Trump will "stick it to the libs" for them.

As Congressmen Lieu and Beyer have already tweeted, such an arrangement is straight up bribery and is a felony.

Rep. Don Beyer
@RepDonBeyer
Selling public policy actions in return for money is more commonly known as “bribery” and is a federal crime.

Seriously! It makes it tough to pin them down when they don’t stand for anything!

I know, right!? Democrats do all the mass shootings and urban gun violence... except Democrats don't have guns! They are certainly not known for their ability to connect the dots... even regarding their repetitive asinine spewage.

And should we be nice and tell him that informing everyone that his wife is “bisexual” didn’t make us immediately think that she said that because she compares sex with him the same as having sex with another woman?

*laughs* And multiple posters have noted Mike's obvious hatred of women... and as it turns out, Mike just see's every single one of them as somebody his wife would rather "be with" than the purulent festering shit-stain whom she married. :D

I'm completely with you on that.

Can't wait!

Rudy will claim the whole attorney-client privilege thing, but since he's been running around saying he's working for the State Department... he's going to have to pick a lane.

Maybe they should just let Rudy keep spewing his guts on Fox and save him for last. That would be the intelligent thing to do.

Oh, they talk big, but the only ones who might be dumb enough to act are the loners. So while while we might have a few more mass shootings, I do not see a mass uprising ever occurring. They know Trump is full of shit just like the rest of us do, but for them it has become more about attacking whatever liberals support than having a healthy and functioning government.

Why do I call it “voter suppression” rather than merely “election meddling” or “interference”? Because as he is wont to do, Trump did precisely what he accuses the Democrats of doing. By soliciting illegal assistance before his 2016 contest with Hillary Clinton and again before his upcoming battle for a second term, Trump purposely took an election partly out of the hands of voters and put it in the hands of foreign nations. The effect, intentional or not, is silencing American voices in their own democracy.

For years now, we have listened to Republicans frame the pursuit of Trump’s impeachment as subverting the will of the American voter. Rep. Devin Nunes of California, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, must have had the taste of the president’s shoe polish fresh on his tongue during his opening statement Thursday as he claimed that, “in the Democrats’ mania to overturn the 2016 elections, everything they touch gets hopelessly politicized.” The framing is all wrong, however, and impeachment is not merely an investigatory process by which Democrats need to deliberately build their case against Trump. They need to use this to help Americans understand who is truly stealing the vote, and who is truly working against American values.

...

That is why Pelosi should treat this like her most important piece of legislation yet. But the politics are secondary. Nothing else will get done while this is happening, so Democrats shouldn’t even try. Republican support of Trump will not falter, as Adam Serwer explains, the very anti-democratic ideas that pushed Trump towards his criminality are the very ones that his party has been using to undermine our democracy long before he came along. So Democrats, the party that most needs the government to look like it works, should make it work for the American voter by ensuring that their voices are heard and calling out Trump’s suppression for what it is. Impeachment is their only job now, and that is just fine. Given the immense gravity of their task, it will require every bit of their attention.

Hey, Russ, how does this bullshit of Mike's square with the GOP and their ilk's endless proclamations that every mass shooting is done by a Democrat or the GOP's standard spew of whining and moaning about all the violence in Chicago, Baltimore, and the big cities of America that are "Democrat"? I mean, really: Pick a lane!

Seriously! It makes it tough to pin them down when they don’t stand for anything!

And should we be nice and tell him that informing everyone that his wife is “bisexual” didn’t make us immediately think that she said that because she compares sex with him the same as having sex with another woman?

There will probably be some violent outbreaks by some of these thugs when Blotus goes down - that's going to be horrible. But once the GOP decided that constantly ginning up fear/hate/hysteria among susceptible Americans should be coupled with arming those same people out the yin-yang, some kind of reckoning was inevitable. We can only pray it will be limited as even rightwing gun-nuts include people with enough intelligence to know they'll lose a shooting war with the actual authorities as well as enough basic decency to stop short of shooting fellow-citizens over Blotus (however much they may fantasize about it).

Remind me which one IS the lie:

1) You claiming to have been a commissioned law enforcement officer and therefore having expertise in matters concerning law enforcement???

Or

2) You admitting that you were never actually a commissioned law enforcement officer, but that you were an MP when you were in the military???

Or are they BOTH lies? Holy crap, I never even considered that you might also be lying about your serving in the military! If you will lie about serving your community as a LEO, it wouldn’t be that hard to believe you’d lie about serving your country, too! No wonder you never seem to feel shame for the crap you spew on here...

Stealing honor must come easy to you after all these years of doing it.

Can't wait!

Ya'all can come out of hiding now...

BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA

See ya'all tomorrow when I'll slap ya around with the facts some more.. :D

It won't be pretty, but it WILL be quick.. AND decisive..

WOW! You must be getting terrified if you are already resorting to threats of violence in the event that Trump is removed from office!

A shooting war.. One side who has 98% of the guns in this country against the other side who are afraid of guns..

You think that 98% of gun owners are idiots? It’s much more likely that you are the idiot if you think that many gun owners back Trump. When you and your little band of neo-Nazi Trump supporters take up arms against this country, you’ll get to meet people who don’t lie about their valor and service — actual police officers and National Guard members who will put down your little uprising.

Be sure to tell them how you like to tell people that you were once one of them to make strangers believe that you might know something about law enforcement...they will LOVE to know that about you!

But you are correct about one thing (such a weird thing to say about anything you post)....it WILL be quick and decisive!!!

He has no documents relating to the stated Impeachment purposes..

This came down fast and hard. YAY!

And Rudy Giuliani thinks it is helpful to throw State under the bus. Isn't that awesome? Subpoena to Rudy in 3... 2... 1...

That should read, But Blathy has lied about EVERYTHING else..

For example.

Blathy lied about their being an impeachable offense in President Trumps phone coversation..

Blathy lied about there being a quid pro quo for the Ukraine Aid Package when there was no knowledge by the Ukrainians of any delay..

Blathy lies about EVERYTHING to do with President Trump..

As do you and most everyone here...

I am loving this. Now that impeachment is happening we're beyond (hopefully for good) the variations of "Dems meeting to consider" doing something. This came down fast and hard. YAY!

Heh!

Hey, Russ, did you notice all the whining out of the Trump Trash about the events of this week? It wasn't even that long ago when the Trump cult sycophants were laughing gleefully and begging for impeachment of the President. Fast forward to now, and they're prattling on and on about a "coup." It's like they have no idea what the word "coup" even means. Perhaps in their inherent ignorance, they have simply forgotten that our Founding Fathers were not terrorists outlining a way to illegally overthrow their own government.

I'd say there's ample evidence that the Trump MAGAts hate the Constitution.

A shooting war.. One side who has 98% of the guns in this country against the other side who are afraid of guns.. ~ Mike

Hey, Russ, how does this bullshit of Mike's square with the GOP and their ilk's endless proclamations that every mass shooting is done by a Democrat or the GOP's standard spew of whining and moaning about all the violence in Chicago, Baltimore, and the big cities of America that are "Democrat"? I mean, really: Pick a lane!

Maybe the uneducated gullible Trump goobers are under the mistaken impression that all those people who live in all those "Democrat" cities that they prattle on and on about are just throwing lots and lots of bullets at each other really, really fast! :)

Yea.. I have never lied about that either..

But Blathy has lied about anything else..

Nor does being married to a female who is “bisexual” make you an expert on the complexities of sexual orientation.

No, it just makes me an expert on morons like you who use their "victim" status as gay to get people to feel sorry for them..

Once a cockholster always a cockholster.

BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Doubtful! Don’t remember Balthy ever lying to the world that he’d served his community as a commissioned law enforcement officer or claiming to be the resident expert on a subject he knew NOTHING about! Sorry, but getting arrested doesn’t qualify you to claim you are an expert in law enforcement!

Nor does being married to a female who is “bisexual” make you an expert on the complexities of sexual orientation.

Thank you, first!

I checked into that list, and I can tell you it's already getting longer. :)

Nature paper on ocean warming retracted
https://retractionwatch.com/2019/09/25/nature-paper-on-ocean-warming-retracted/

Amazing how many bullshit claims of hysterical Global Warming have to be retracted...

Nope. A logical and rational conclusion based on the fact that those who oppose President Trump enough to participate in this coup are generally unarmed and afraid of guns.

If you think an armed conflict between those who are heavily armed and trained and those who are unarmed and afraid of guns and can't function without their lattes and their Priuses would end any other way..

I await your supporting facts...

All these assertions have been contradicted or challenged.

It's obvious to anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together..

Biden is going down.. It's already started..

One wonders: Do Democrats blinded by hatred of Trump ever wonder how that 40% of the nation that sees him as the repository of their hopes will react if, rather than beat him at the ballot box, they remove him in this way?

It's easy to predict the aftermath if, by some weird chance of fate, Democrats succeed in their coup..

A shooting war.. One side who has 98% of the guns in this country against the other side who are afraid of guns..

It won't be pretty, but it WILL be quick.. AND decisive..

The great Beltway battle for the balance of this year, and perhaps next, will be over whether the Democrats can effect a coup against a president many of them have never recognized as legitimate and have sought to bring down since before he took the oath of office.
https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/patrick-j-buchanan/joe-biden-impeachments-first-casualty

This is nothing but Democrats and Trump/America haters trying to nullify a free, fair and legal election..

Nothing else is at play here..

And it simply won't succeed.. Everyone here recognizes that fact..

Biden numbers are in free fall, thanks to Democrats throwing him under the bus...

President Trump will likely emerge stronger...

Joe Biden's campaign is toast..

Bummer.. He was kinda fun... :D

And not a SINGLE FACT to show for it..

Bottom line for ya'all??

Trump won..

Ya'all LOST...

That's the end of it..

If ya don't like it..

Then take him down at the ballot box..

But, from all indications.. Ya'all are to chicken shit to try it.

Because you KNOW you will get your asses handed to ya'all.. AGAIN...

This is the reality.

Deal with it, snowflakes..

Make no mistake: this issue is not about whether you agree with Trump’s handling of foreign policy. Every previous president has made foreign-policy mistakes, and some of them were real doozies. George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq was a colossal blunder, Barack Obama erred when he helped topple Muammar al-Qaddafi, and Bill Clinton blew it when he rejected Partnership for Peace and opted for full-on NATO expansion or when he fired cruise missiles at a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan. But there’s no evidence that any of them made these decisions to feather their own nests or to tip an election with bogus charges. The closest equivalent that I can think of is Richard Nixon’s efforts to sabotage the Vietnam peace talks in 1968 so that progress at the talks wouldn’t give an edge to Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey. Tricky Dick wasn’t president yet, however, and we all know how his presidency eventually turned out.

Remarkably, Trump is now leaving Nixon in the dust. As a private citizen he ran a crooked business, and it’s been clear for a while that he’s running a crooked presidency. He cannot be trusted with the authority of the presidency and the privilege of confidentiality that managing the nation’s foreign and national security policy requires. Why? Because every time he meets with a foreign leader, we won’t know if he is genuinely trying to advance the national interest or just trying to cut a sleazy deal to help himself. Now, his insistence on meeting with leaders such as Russian President Vladimir Putin without any aides present takes on an even more ominous light.

As usual, he is just spewin' bullshit..

You Democratics gonna tell me that if somebody's political opponent in the race for the office of local County Dogcatcher somewhere in CA is cheating on his wife with a Mexican girl in Tiajuana (sp?), and the dogcatcher candidate finds out about it from a Texan, that's OK for him to use in the campaign, but if he finds out about it from a Mexican, he can't use it???

I know, I know.. It's LAUGHABLE...

There's a point somewhere on the gullibility spectrum where it morphs int stupidity, and when you're already in PTSD shock from the fizzling of the Mueller report, apparantly you are vulnerable to making that transition even quicker than normal.

IG Horowitz's Report On The Criminal Activity Of The Obama/Biden Administration During And After The 2016 Presidential Election is due out any day now..

OMG... the QAnon bullshit! *laughs*

She will fail.. As damning as Horowitz's report is going to be, it's gonna push Impeachment off the front page..

Anyone who has bought "all in" to the ridiculous 4Chan QAnon conspiracy bullshit and brings it to this reality based forum needs to have their head forcibly removed from their ass.

The National Rifle Association acted as a "foreign asset" for Russia in the period leading up to the 2016 election, according to a new investigation unveiled Friday by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

Drawing on contemporaneous emails and private interviews, an 18-month probe by the Senate Finance Committee's Democratic staff found that the NRA underwrote political access for Russian nationals Maria Butina and Alexander Torshin more than previously known — even though the two had declared their ties to the Kremlin.

The report, available here, also describes how closely the gun rights group was involved with organizing a 2015 visit by some of its leaders to Moscow.

Then-NRA vice president Pete Brownell, who would later become NRA president, was enticed to visit Russia with the promise of personal business opportunities — and the NRA covered a portion of the trip's costs...

Impeachable offense: Abuse of Power.

Rudy going to the Ukraine to get dirt on Biden for Trump's reelection campaign isn't exactly a new revelation. Rudy admitted it in May 2019:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/09/us/politics/giuliani-ukraine-trump.html

Donald Trump also had a conversation with Zelensky on April 21. Stay tuned.

Since when is a statement like that a FACT? There were no facts backing it up.

There was no statement about information in your claim..

C'mon, you can't be that dumb.

Bullshit claim #1

The records on Manafort were discovered and turned over to us as a matter of course.

Irrelevant claim #1

The Steele dossier wasn't the product of a campaign, nor was it a government.

Bullshit claim #2 and #3..

Taking my beautiful wife to lunch now.. I'll be back to kick your ass some more in about an hour...

"Gonna find my baby gonna hold her tight...
Gonna grab some afternoon delight..."

:D

You didn't say ANYTHING when Democrats solicited the dossier from a foreign national..

Hillary never solicited dirt from Ukraine. The records on Manafort were discovered and turned over to us as a matter of course.

The Steele dossier wasn't the product of a campaign, nor was it a government.

There was no statement about information in your claim..

And that didn't stop you from commenting, did it.

Never stopped you.

Ahhhh.. So NOW you aspire to be like me.. :D

I'm flattered...

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

The difference is, I HAVE the facts to comment.

You admit you DON'T have facts and yet you STILL comment..

BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Do you see the pattern?

Yes.. I see the pattern.. You only believe people who say what you want to hear.

For you, the NOAA is gospel when it spews about your global warming con..

But when it states a FACT that you don't like??

You don't believe it.. Because you can't handle seeing your delusions totally destroyed.

So, yea.. I see the pattern..

And it's pathetic..

Then what was the statement by the FEC head about? I find it odd that it just came out of nowhere.

And that didn't stop you from commenting, did it.

Never stopped you.

Why is that??

Because you know that your claim is full of shit..

“It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election,” FEC chair Ellen Weintraub cautioned in a June statement. “This is not a novel concept. Electoral intervention from foreign governments has been considered unacceptable since the beginnings of our nation.”

And yet, you didn't say ANYTHING when Hillary solicited dirt on Trump from Ukraine..

Why is that??

Just like I didn't believe the Trump-appointed head of NOAA about Dorian. The scientists at the National Weather Service are all fine with me.

Do you see the pattern?

Funny how you claim you don't have the facts so you can't comment..

And then you go ahead and comment without ANY facts..

I just proved how utterly moronic your position is.. :D

Not as far as the FEC is concerned.. Find me the FEC reg that says information is included in their thing of value spiel..

You can't because....

Yer wrong.. As usual..

Since I didn't read the statement, I can't comment.

And that didn't stop you from commenting, did it.

This is emblematic of this entire mess..

You Dumbocrats spewing bullshit that contains NO FACTS...

My guess is that the Ukrainians are scrambling to get out of the way. Zelensky looked very tense at his one-to-one with Trump. After all, he's still on the hook to this crook.

Again, that's just your bigoted intolerant opinion.. It's not supported by ANY FACTS whatsoever..

Once again, you prove my point..

Ya'all have nothing but bullshit..

And I have the FACTS...

Bullshit. Information has value. Trump knows that.

It's what the Ukraine Foreign Minister stated..

Since I didn't read the statement, I can't comment. I do however, know that stopping nearly half a billion dollars in aid money has repercussions that can't be hidden.

My guess is that the Ukrainians are scrambling to get out of the way. Zelensky looked very tense at his one-to-one with Trump. After all, he's still on the hook to this crook.

For the record, it is, and always has been illegal to solicit dirt on your opponent from a foreign source. That's what Trump did. That much is cut and dried.

It's not like that fact hasn't been covered over and over ad nauseam on this board either. The FEC made this abundantly clear quite recently in response to Donald Trump's interview with George Stephanopolous where he claimed he'd accept it.

CHAIR ELLEN L. WEINTRAUB
FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20463

Statement Regarding Illegal Contributions
From Foreign Governments

June 13, 2019

Let me make something 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election.(1) This is not a novel concept. Electoral intervention from foreign governments has been considered unacceptable since the beginnings of our nation.Our Founding Fathers sounded the alarm about “foreign Interference, Intrigue, and Influence.”
They knew that when foreign governments seek to influence American politics, it is always to advance their own interests, not America’s. Anyone who solicits or accepts foreign assistance risks being on the wrong end of a federal investigation. Any political campaign that receives an offer of a prohibited donation from a foreign source should report that offer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

(1) 52 U.S.C. Sec. 30121(a)(2).

https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/Chair_Weintraub_on_Illegal_Foreign_Contributions.pdf

Which has nothing to do with information..

Do you really think that? Consider the mechanics of it, contracts delayed, everything on 'hold'. I don't think so.

It's what the Ukraine Foreign Minister stated..

But, of course, you won't believe him because it messes with your delusions.

Just like you didn't believe the NOAA about Dorian..

You see the pattern??

I guess it's a matter of perspective..

But true or false, it has no bearings on the facts..

But, glad yer around CRS..

I am just DYING to hear your perspective on Blathy's bullshit claim:

For the record, it is, and always has been illegal to solicit dirt on your opponent from a foreign source

AND the fact that everyone is now back in the COLLUSION IS ILLEGAL groove, after denying it when Mueller exonerated President Trump...

I know, I know.. It's confusing as hell keeping all their claims straight..

Ukraine didn't know about it until a month after the call..

Do you really think that? Consider the mechanics of it, contracts delayed, everything on 'hold'. I don't think so.

Not really..

Vermont Gov Phil Scott is a well documented Trump hater...

It's like Romney.. It's no surprise they are for impeachment.. They have hated President Trump from day one..

There are going to be GOP Trump/America haters who will support impeachment.. That's a given. They will support ANYTHING that takes President Trump down..

So, no.. Yer claim is still valid..

And remind the few...
When ill of us they speak...
That we are all that stands between...
The monsters and the weak.....

No, it has not..

Show me the law that says that. You can't because it doesn't exist..

Trump also cut military aid to that country a few days before the call. It strains reality to say that this wasn't on Zelensky's mind throughout, or that he didn't know.

Not factually accurate.. It was the Pentagon who held up the aid for review purposes..

And Ukraine didn't know about it until a month after the call..

Once again, you have NO FACTS.. All you have is bullshit..

So the rest is just hogwash, cooked up and slathered on thick, to back us off. Fat chance.

Yea.. You said the same thing about yer Russia Collusion delusion.. Yer a broken record.

You were wrong then.. You'll be wrong now..

You have ALWAYS been wrong..

ALWAYS..

But allies suggest there is a risk that the Trump’s team is focusing too much on the campaign at the expense of the perilous Capitol Hill proceedings that lie ahead.

if i had to guess, that's probably nancy's strategy - to do it quickly and matter-of-factly as possible, and not draw it out, so it's just a talking point rather than a circus.

Trump also cut military aid to that country a few days before the call. It strains reality to say that this wasn't on Zelensky's mind throughout, or that he didn't know.

So the rest is just hogwash, cooked up and slathered on thick, to back us off. Fat chance.

Yea.. And what was the result??

A) The flip'ees got screwed over big time..

and

2) President Trump was STILL completely and utterly exonerated for Russia Collusion..

So, what can we deduce from these two facts??

Democrats are morons..

AND

Follow Stig's advice is moronic..

Over ta you.. :D

Once again.. EXACTLY what you said during your Russia Collusion delusion, when you encouraged bit players in THAT faux scandal to do the same thing..

Ya'all are like a broken record..

Later, Trump veers into the Biden issue.

That is the only mention about Biden in the transcript of the call. The call transcript is five pages.
-ABC News

Can ANY of ya'all point to ANYTHING impeachable there??

Anything at all???

Silence = Concession

I accept ya'all's concessions..

Oh yes... Hunter Biden is going to jail... THAT much is certain...

Again.. Word for word what you said about the Russia Collusion delusion..

Working for the Trump Organization is like playing a complicated Version of Prisoner's Dilemma. Trump is loyal to no one.

And yet, the FACTS prove that you Democrats LOVED Trump..

When he had a -D after his name.

So, why should ANYONE think what you have to say is credible???

Hmmmmmmm No answer??

I guess that means you concede the point..

I accept your concession..
