Seriously, something like seven headlines stacked up, one atop the other, all with the same hyperventilation. And not just one day. It's like Rachel Madcow, on steroids.

Between the rabidly partisan M$M and rabidly partisan liberaloids, it's like listening to a pack of mad dogs howling. I mean, look at JO (before he disappeared)... he was SO convinced that Trump is Putin's puppet that he was willing to entertain the idea that Mueller, the FBI, and the CIA were all in on the plot. WISHY wants to eradicate the world in order to save it. SECONDRATE spent endless hours flinging virtue-signalling crap onto the board, but now that his tax cuts might be at risk has suddenly gone silent. REAVERBOT threatened people. Facts just bounce offa CC's delusions, despite his effort to appear like a "reasonable" person.

These people have been driven to white hot hatred of Trump. Facts don't matter in the face of overwhelming emotion, which feels so authentic and real. It'll take YEARS for these emotions to die down and for people to come back to their senses. (If ever. I think SECONDRATE is permanently tweaked.)

And the crazy thing is, this isn't the first, second, or even third time Americans have gone thru the spin cycle in the past 18 years. You'd think that by the fourth fiths sixth seventh? time around (9-11! WMD! GWOT! Hope and change! Chemical weapons! Russia invasion! RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA! Ukraine!) people would have developed some insight!

I'm done calling them the MSM (Mainstream Media).

They are anything but "mainstream". Refering to them using this misnomer is actually unhealthy for society.

Some call them "lamestream", and while accurate, it doesn't fully convey what they actually are.

Until I come up with something better, I like the term "Legacy Media" as legacy refers to computing.

denoting or relating to software or hardware that has been superseded but is difficult to replace because of its wide use.

They need to die off. They've become nothing more than a propaganda machine and only several entities own all of the Legacy media today, most of them owned by multi-national interests.

#CancelNYT was trending the last few days, and surprisingly it was started by extreme leftist rage against the paper. Another example of SJWs cannibalizing each other. I'll sit back and gladly watch that happen though.


Anybody got a better term for them than "Legacy Media"?

Let's stop calling them Mainstream please.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Hon,

Slow down, chill out, and try to think.

First of all, I've never, not even once, prescribed anything for any other country. And as deeply as you might search you'll not find one single post where I even hint at me trying to impose anything on anyone.

The only thing I want to see is that other countries get to pick what they want for themselves, without interference, and with a legitimate majority vote.

As to what they pick, aside from disliking some choices as a matter of personal taste - for example, Indonesia's democratically-elected theocratic (Sharia) state - I actually don't care what they pick. After all, IT'S NOT MY COUNTRY, IT'S THEIRS.

And if I dislike it, well, nobody's forcing me to live there, or even visit.

I object mightily when governments, either ours or others, subject their people to surveillance and violence - or have you not noticed my 'Palantir' thread? But do we have either some duty or right to, say ... impose ourselves on all the 1 billion Chinese without even asking them what they might want? Or - as you would do - exterminate all the 1 billion Chinese in order to 'save' them, without even asking them what they might want?

If the conclusion of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election was murky — with its finding of insufficient evidence that Trump's campaign directly coordinated with Russian officials to influence the outcome — the latest revelations about Trump's communication with Ukraine are burdened by no such ambiguity.

That Trump himself is now on record as asking for election help — albeit from Russia’s bitter adversary, Ukraine — is a plot line almost too perfect to have been made up. “It’s hard to imagine a more serious set of allegations than those contained in the complaint,” Adam Schiff told reporters after the hearing, noting that the president’s actions involved numerous potential offenses, criminal or otherwise.

"There can be no claim of ignorance this time," Schiff told reporters after his committee heard three hours of testimony from acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire. That is, of course, because the White House's own summary of Trump's July 25 phone call with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has Trump directly asking for the "favor" of looking into Hunter Biden's business dealings there, in implicit exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars in American military aid to Ukraine.

And there is a GOP run Senate.

And Trump has outraised all Democrat candidates combined.

And since the day Pelosi made a statement about impeachment, Trump has raised nearly 4 times as much as Democrats have raised for the election.


This isn't going anywhere either.

You forget that half the country is below average. The scandals about the Panama Papers, where rich Americans are paying $500 billion less per year than is owed? That is forgotten by those below average. These people who forget, "falls down the memory hole", are the people in the bottom half. The people up in the top 1% don't forget. They don't need to be reminded. That's how they got up there. If you want to get up there, 6ixStringJack, you need to remember rather than pushing your erase button every ten seconds.

Trump voters were in the habit of hitting "delete" long before Trump came along. That habit has materially damaged them. Everybody has taken advantage of their short memories, including bosses and banks and politicians, which made it easy for Trump to also take advantage of them by promising to "fix" the system. He didn't because the only real fix is to stop forgetting, which is something you, and only you, have all the control in the world.

SIX, everybody assumes that Senate Rebublicans are going to stand shoulder to shoulder ith Trump but the reality is that there are a quite a few Senate GOP who're full-on neocon apparatchiks like Lindsey Graham, Bob Corker, and Marco Rubio and/or who're deep friends with Israel and/or who would be sharpening their knives for a Presidential run (and would be more successful running against Pence) that Trump may not have all of the support that everyone thinks. Most of the GOP have left Trump twisting in the wind thru this whole RUSSIA!RUSSIA! hoax for example. Their spport of Trump has been pretty lukewarm.

As I understand it, the Senate needs 67 votes to remove Trump from office and there are an automatic 49 Democratic votes already, which means that 18 GOPers need to cross the line. According to people who count such things, there are already 15 Republican Senators who might be willing to vote for removal.

Hubby and I talk about the mess that is Trump's foreign policy, and one of the things that may be preventing Trump from withdrawing our troops from the Mideast as promised is that he has to keep one eye on those Senate warhawks/neocons and keep them satsified. I'm sure that Democrats don't care since they have long ago given up the mantle of being anti-war and are now just bought-and-paid for globalist shills, but in a way their constant haranguing of Trump over bullshit hoaxes like RUSSIA!RUSSIA! may be what's keeping our mideast wars alive.

Tom Luongo has opined that the reason WHY the Democrats have uncorked impeachment is because they know for a fact that Trump would win 2020 because their candidates suck, and that the only way they could win in 2020 is to remove Trump from office. Imagine Pence running against Warren.

IF Trump is removed from office there won't be a "revolution" but there will probably be extremely low voter turnout, and a Democrat will be elected with the lowest percentage of the general population ever as "no party affiliation" an disaffected voters stay home in droves.

Moon of Alabama
On The Motives Behind Whistleblower-gate

The recent impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump is the second attempt by the CIA and the Democratic establishment to sabotage Trump's presidency. The first attempt was the 'Russiagate' conspiracy theory which falsely claimed that Trump colluded with the Russian government to win the election. It took more than two years to defeat it. It had the intended side effect that it disabled Trump from making peace with Russia.

The second is likewise run by the CIA and the Democratic establishment. The CIA created an artificial issue that the Democrats used to justify the launch of an impeachment process against Trump. The impeachment attempt has little chance to dethrone Trump. But the affair will again hamstring any attempts for better relations with Russia. The operation is also designed to further prevent Trump digging into the background of Russiagate and the people behind it.

The second attempt is a simpler construct than Russiagate. A CIA operative who was temporarily delegated to the White House constructed a 'whistleblower complaint' that is completely based on hearsay and public sources. It is also about issues that are outside of the CIA's immediate business.

Until very recently the intelligence community complaint form required that any claimant had first hand knowledge of the complaint issue. The form was changed in August (more here) but uploaded only on September 24 to also allow for hearsay to be the basis of a complaint. This reinforces the impression that the complaint is part of a larger intelligence operations. Who initiated the change?

The whistleblower statute says that the matter in question must be an "urgent concern" that is defined as:

... a serious or flagrant problem, abuse, violation of law or Executive order, or deficiency relating to the funding, administration, or operations of an intelligence activity involving classified information, but does not include differences of opinions concerning public policy matters

At the core of the complaint in question is a claim that Trump used a phone call with President Volodymyr Zelensky of the Ukraine to press Zelensky to investigate two issues. The call memorandum was declassified and published.

During the phone call Zelensky had two requests. He wanted U.S. anti-tank weapons and he wanted an invitation to the White House. (He got both.) Trump also had a request. He asked that Ukrainian authorities investigate two issues of U.S. public interest. The first is the reported interferences by Ukrainian government officials in favor of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election campaign. This also involved the notorious security company CrowdStrike which made some false claims about Russian hacking in the Ukraine. The second one is the also well-know intervention by then Vice-President Joe Biden against a Ukrainian Attorney General who had an open investigation against a company that was sponsoring his son Hunter Biden.

The U.S.and the Ukraine have a treaty that requires them to cooperate on law enforcement matters. That Trump wanted the Ukrainian authorities to investigated these issues was well known. His personal lawyer Rudi Giuliani had said for several months that he was looking into these questions.

The issues pointed out in the complaint are clearly beyond the scope of the whistleblower statute. Trump's actions with regard to the Ukraine, especially the phone call, were neither outside of any law nor do they involve any intelligence activity. What Trump did during the call was not nefarious. The issue is clearly a question of "differences in opinion concerning public policy matters".

A whistleblower complaint must be send to the relevant agency’s inspector general. If he finds it credible it goes to the head of the agency who decides if it is within the statute and, if it is, sends the complaint to Congress. The agency’s inspector general Michael Atkinson found the complaint 'credible' but, after seeking legal advice, the acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire did not forward it to Congress. It was the right thing to do as the content of the complaint is neither 'whistleblowing' nor within the relevant statute.

What happened next is curious:

The agency’s inspector general, Michael Atkinson, notified Congress that the complaint existed but says he and Maguire have reached an “impasse” over whether to turn it over.

I have found no legal analysis if this was a required move or outside of the usual process. After that step was taken details of the complaint leaked to the press as they were supposed to do.

The Democrats immediately raised a public ruckus and demanded to see the complaint and call transcript and to have them declassified. They likely hoped that Trump would fight them over this. But Trump immediately obliged. He had nothing to fear. A diligent reading of the phone call memo and the complaint shows that there is nothing illegal or otherwise condemnable in his behavior towards the Ukraine. One may not like what he does as president but that does not make it illegal.

Despite the lack of any sound basis the Democrats announced an impeachment inquiry even as it has little public support and will drown out any positive momentum for policy issues the Democratic primary candidates want to promote. The impeachment inquiry will run right along the lines laid out in the complaint.

The complaint and the Democrats claim that Trump held back loans from the Ukraine to press Zelensky on the issue. Zelensky denies he even knew that the loans were withheld and said that it was a non-issue.

The Hill @thehill - 20:31 UTC · Sep 27, 2019
Sen. Chris Murphy: "In my meeting...Zelensky did not make any connection between the aid that had been cut off & the requests that he was getting from Giuliani but the Ukrainian govt certainly thru multiple channels was expressing their confusion about who they should listen to."

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) has himself intervened with Zelensky:

While choosing his words carefully, Murphy made clear — by his own account — that Ukraine currently enjoyed bipartisan support for its U.S. aid but that could be jeopardized if the new president acquiesced to requests by President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani to investigate past corruption allegations involving Americans, including former Vice President Joe Biden’s family.

The Democrats say that it is unfair that Trump is asking the Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden who currently leads in the Democrats' primary. They claim that he wants the material only to smear Biden.

But there is no need to smear Biden. He himself proudly told the story (vid) of how he blackmailed the Ukrainian government. It is also widely known that his son Hunter had an affair with his sister-in-law while his brother was fighting cancer, spent extravagantly on drugs and prostitutes according to his former wife and was dishonorably discharged from the Navy Reserve for cocaine use.

Three weeks after Joe Biden had helped to overthrow the Ukrainian government his not so honorable son Hunter Biden was invited to take a $50,000 per month board seat of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas producer whose owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, was under investigation for corruption and tax evasion. Hunter Biden did not know anything about the Ukraine or natural gas. The company had only one reason to hire him and that was his father.

A few months later Joe Biden withheld a $1 billion loan guarantee to get the Ukrainian prosecutor general who was running the corruption investigation against Burisma fired. Biden claimed that he wanted the prosecutor general to go because he was corrupt and that the case against Burisma was already closed. But several recently revealed papers show that those claims are false. More dirt about Biden's actions in Ukraine is just coming out.

By opening the impeachment inquiry the Democrats, not Trump, highlight Biden's corruption and throw him under the bus. That maybe a welcome side effect for the Democratic establishment which prefers that the second incarnation of Hillary Clinton, Senator Elizabeth Warren, wins the primaries.

There is other dirt that the Democrats may fear.

During the 2016 election campaign Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who worked for the Democratic National Committee had contacts with the Ukrainian embassy. She asked for digging up dirt on Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort who had worked in the Ukraine. Soon a mysterious ledger was found by an anonymous person in the burned out headquarter of an Ukrainian party which allegedly showed that Manafort had received large amounts of black money. The ledger was an obvious favor by the Ukrainians for the Clinton campaign. Trump had to fire Manafort who was later sentenced for tax evasion and other unrelated crimes. Trump wants to pardon Manafort and needs some public reason to do so. If the Ukrainians find that the ledger was faked at the request of the DNC the issue might well fall back on the Democrats.

But what is the intent of the CIA in organizing the clearly abnormal whistleblower complaint?

Here we have to look at the second request Trump made to Zelensky. He wants to know more about Russiagate. During that operation, which was directed by Obama's spy chief John Brennan, the 'former' MI6 agent Christopher Steele created a fake dossier of alleged collusion between Trump and the Kremlin. The dossier was used to justify FBI spying on the Trump campaign. It is quite possible that some of Steele's 'Russian' sources were actually from the Ukraine.

There are also a number of loose ends from the 2014 coup in Ukraine which the CIA will not like to have disclosed. Zelensky had promised to restart the investigation into the Maidan massacre. The CIA would surely like to prevent any disclosure of its heavy involvement in that affair.

Good relations with Trump would have helped Zelensky to achieve his aims. It would have hindered better CIA control over Zelensky. The disclosure and ruckus about the phone call will make it more difficult for Trump and Zelensky to cooperate. That part of the plan worked.

But there is also already a casualty on the side of the plotters against Trump.

The new Ukrainian president was looking for ways to make peace with Russia and had hoped that Trump would help him. The hawks had installed Kurt Volker as U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine to prevent any such moves. Volker, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO, had been hired by then Secretary of State Rex Tillerson but had demanded no pay. Volker is the hawkish head of the McCain Institute which received donations from George Soros' Open Society. He is also a partner in a public relation company that was hired by then President of Ukraine Poroshenko.

The whistleblower complaint says that Volker visited Zelensky on July 26, one day after his call with Trump, to "provide advice to the Ukrainian leadership about how to 'navigate' the demands that the President had made of Mr. Zelenskyy."

Volker was the 'borg' member sent to Ukraine to exercise control over the Ukrainian government. He clearly tried to sabotage Trump's efforts to push Zelensky to investigate the Ukrainian side of the Russiagate and Biden affairs. Volker also wanted to prevent better relations with Russia:

As Trump's special representative for Ukraine negotiations, Volker strongly supported a shift in policy to send lethal weapons to Kyiv, including tank-busting Javelins, described by its manufacturer as "the world's most versatile and lethal one-man-portable, anti-tank, guided munition and surveillance weapon system."

But at the same time Volker was pushing to convince Trump to arm Ukraine, he also held positions with a major lobbying firm, BGR Group, and with a think tank, the McCain Institute, that both had financial ties to Raytheon Company, which manufactures the Javelin system and earned millions from Trump's decision.

Yesterday Volker suddenly left his job.

Why? Was he one of those who fed the whistleblower with content for his complaint? That Volker leaves now, before being fired by Trump for sabotaging his requests to and relations with Zelensky, is likely an unintended consequence of the whistleblower operation.

If Trump is as smart as he thinks he will install a new special representative to the Ukraine who does his bidding.

How about Rudi Giuliani?

You forget that half the country is below average. The scandals about the Panama Papers, where rich Americans are paying $500 billion less per year than is owed? That is forgotten by those below average. These people who forget, "falls down the memory hole", are the people in the bottom half. The people up in the top 1% don't forget. They don't need to be reminded. That's how they got up there. If you want to get up there, 6ixStringJack, you need to remember rather than pushing your erase button every ten seconds.

Trump voters were in the habit of hitting "delete" long before Trump came along. That habit has materially damaged them. Everybody has taken advantage of their short memories, including bosses and banks and politicians, which made it easy for Trump to also take advantage of them by promising to "fix" the system. He didn't because the only real fix is to stop forgetting, which is something you, and only you, have all the control in the world.

SIX, everybody assumes that Senate Rebublicans are going to stand shoulder to shoulder ith Trump but the reality is that there are a quite a few Senate GOP who're full-on neocon apparatchiks like Lindsey Graham, Bob Corker, and Marco Rubio and/or who're deep friends with Israel and/or who would be sharpening their knives for a Presidential run (and would be more successful running against Pence) that Trump may not have all of the support that everyone thinks. Most of the GOP have left Trump twisting in the wind thru this whole RUSSIA!RUSSIA! hoax for example. Their spport of Trump has been pretty lukewarm.

As I understand it, the Senate needs 67 votes to remove Trump from office and there are an automatic 49 Democratic votes already, which means that 18 GOPers need to cross the line. According to people who count such things, there are already 15 Republican Senators who might be willing to vote for removal.

Hubby and I talk about the mess that is Trump's foreign policy, and one of the things that may be preventing Trump from withdrawing our troops from the Mideast as promised is that he has to keep one eye on those Senate warhawks/neocons and keep them satsified. I'm sure that Democrats don't care since they have long ago given up the mantle of being anti-war and are now just bought-and-paid for globalist shills, but in a way their constant haranguing of Trump over bullshit hoaxes like RUSSIA!RUSSIA! may be what's keeping our mideast wars alive.

Tom Luongo has opined that the reason WHY the Democrats have uncorked impeachment is because they know for a fact that Trump would win 2020 because their candidates suck, and that the only way they could win in 2020 is to remove Trump from office. Imagine Pence running against Warren.

IF Trump is removed from office there won't be a "revolution" but there will probably be extremely low voter turnout, and a Democrat will be elected with the lowest percentage of the general population ever as "no party affiliation" an disaffected voters stay home in droves.



Yup. I don't see this possibility happening.

I'd like to see the list of GOP senators that allegedly would vote against Trump. You've mentioned a possibility of 15 here. T quoted some anon bullshit that says 30 would if there were secret votes. (As if our elected officials voting for stuff in secret would be a good idea for the people and wouldn't be abused in the future. No sir).

Here's a list of Senate seats up for relection in 2020.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_Senate_elections

22 of them are GOP, while only 12 of them are Dems.

Since a secret vote is completely off the table for now (and hopefully forever), I'd advise against impeachment if I were any of them. Whaddya know. Lindsey Graham is up for reelection in 2020.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


The Republican Senators have voted against Trump and the GOP on one issue or another

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (ACA, border wall, emergency declaration, immigration reform)
Mitt Romeny of Utah (border wall, emergency declaration)
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee (border wall)
Susan Collins of Maine (border wall, emergency declaration, immigration reform)
Cory Gardner of Colorado (border wall)
Johnny Isakson of Georgia (border wall)
Roger Wicker of Mississippi (emergency declaration)
Marco Rubio of Florida (emergency declaration)
Rob Portman ofOhio (emergency declaration)
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania (emergency declaration)
Roy Blunt of Missouri (emergency declaration)
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee (emergency declaration)
Rand Paul of Kentucky (emergency declaration)
Jerry Moran of Kansas (emergency declaration)
Mike Lee of Utah (emergency declaration, immigration reform)
John Barrasso of Wyoming (immigratiom reform)
John Thune of South Dakota (immigration reform)

There are other GOP Senators who voted against the WH immigration reform proposal, but seeing as they voted to the right, not the left, I didn't include them.

John McCain, who consistently voted against Trump, has passed away (a moment of silence for John McCain's tumor)

Grassley, Portman and Toomey oppose Trump's tariff policies, altho they have not yet crafted a bill on which to vote.

Corker and McConnell rolled over on the RUSSIA! hoax and began Senate investigations.

Murkowski is so reliably against the GOP I wonder why she's in the party.

Romney and Rubio would be sharpening their knives for another Presidential run.

*****

I know that just because some Republican Senators voted against Trump on some things doesn't make them an automatic "remove from office" vote but I've highlighted the ones I think are especially problematic (Murkowski, Collins, Romney, Rubio, Grassley, Corkker, McConnell)

Former Ukraine prosecutor says he saw no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden

Yuri Lutsenko, who was fired as prosecutor general last month (possibly at Trump's request) said he had urged Giuliani to launch a U.S. inquiry and go to court if he had any evidence but not to use Ukraine to conduct a political vendetta that could affect the U.S. election.

“I said, ‘Let’s put this through prosecutors, not through presidents,’ ” Lutsenko told The Times.

“I told him I could not start an investigation just for the interests of an American official,” he said.

Lutsenko said he met Giuliani twice in person and had numerous conversations with him on the phone. He described the former New York mayor as obsessed with possible misconduct by Biden or his son Hunter.

Very unhelpful to Trump, Lutsenko said, “Hunter Biden cannot be responsible for violations of the management of Burisma that took place two years before his arrival.” That's as good a reason for Trump to demand Lutsenko's firing as any. - www.pressherald.com/2019/09/26/former-ukraine-prosecutor-says-hunter-b

Not old news. The story was from today. The prosecutor was talking to Rudy, Trump's lawyer, last month, just before the prosecutor was fired, perhaps at the request of Trump, because the prosecutor would not charge Biden's son with a crime that happened 2 years before the son had even visited Ukraine.

The prosecutor had the job from 12 May 2016 – 29 August 2019, until he crossed Trump. Three years and 3 months in the job was his qualification to work the job. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuriy_Lutsenko

He also cleared the Bidens of any wrong doing.

tick tock

T






He didn't clear anybody of anything.

According to Andrea Mitchell, he said he's "unaware of any Ukrainian law broken by either Biden". Even if this is true, there is no video or audio footage provided. If this was ever asked of him, he didn't say it in this interview, so that's hearsay unless you have another video that shows it. Also, even if this were true, nobody really gives a shit about Ukrainian law as it pertains to Biden or his son either.

The video they show, after what can only be presumed to be a straight up lie by Mitchell unless said video is provided, is just a few questions asking how many times he talked to Giuliani or his people.


lol "Twicely". That's cute.

Do Right, Be Right. :)






Also Mitchell states in the video, from two days ago, "we should note, that Lutsenko was hired by the previous government of Ukraine, had no legal training, and is featured prominently in the whistleblowers's complaint".


So in other words, his prior work experience should have landed him jobs in the fast food service industry, not the Prosecutor General of a country.

I doubt very much that he's even qualified to determine whether or not somebody was guilty of jaywalking.

LOL Twicely at "twicely".




OLD NEWS.





P.S. I've never worn a pair of cowboy boots in my life, but if I promise to vote against Trump in 2020 would you give me a job running your cattle ranches (since we know you actively fire anybody working for you who isn't a Democrat)?

I mean, I wouldn't have a fucking clue what I was doing on day one, but maybe after three years I'd have the necessary on the job work experience to be somewhat competent at it.

First things first, 6ixStringJack, I would not hire you because the entire way you approach life is "ineffectual", a euphemism for fucked up. Either vote for or against Trump, it makes not difference to me. You cannot be trusted to pay attention to what you are doing. Stick to work that can be done while you are on automatic pilot.

And the second thing, it follows from your argument that Ukraine's Chief Prosecutor job was empty for the last 3 years and 3 months. That is ridiculous. The prosecutor lost his job not because he can't do it, but because he crossed Trump by not bringing false charges against Biden's son.

Ukraine's President won't admit it, nor Trump, but that's what happened. Well, the way 6ix thinks, Trump will have to plead guilty before can be convicted of a crime that was separately video recorded. That level of evidence might happen in convenient store robberies, where there are cameras, when the robber is also stupid enough to be tricked into confessing to the cops, but it never happens in higher level crimes. Trump knows to never confess. Let the lawyer do all the talking. Oh, and never record anything if you can help it, but sometimes a President can't help it. That never stops Trump from denying what he is recorded saying.

For example, if they are so confident, why do narcissists have such difficulty admitting fault or apologizing for their missteps?

No. First thing is that I wouldn't work for you for a million bucks a year, and we all know that you live in your mom's basement and don't have any money anyhow.

I was making a point, idiot, that you need training in law if you're going to be a lawyer. If that doesn't happen to be the case in the Ukraine, then I don't trust a goddamned thing that they have to say about anything regarding law. If I want to know an answer to a legal question, I don't go ask a crossing guard.


And regarding Trump, I'm not worried in the slightest about how he'll handle it. The Billy Bush tapes were 10 times as damning as anything going on here.

Just wait a few weeks and I'll be proven right.

Again.


But keep telling yourself you're better and smarter than me. I'm just wondering how many times I have to prove you wrong before the truth sets in.

Yes. I'm sure that website must have an article about how to become self aware.

I'm not sure it works for robots though. That's probably a good thing.

Remember What Ukrainegate Is About

Ukrainegate is about Donald Trump holding military assistance hostage unless a foreign leader agreed to help him win an election. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, this has never happened before. It is an obvious and flagrant abuse of power.

Nothing that was said — or yelled or tweeted — over the weekend has changed this.

You say that will all the certitude you repeated TRUMP!!RUSSIA!!COLLUSION!! over the span of 2+ years.

Why should I credit your opinion about anything?




Apart from being right about Russia invading Ukraine *cough* Crimea *cough* and about Trump's involvement with Russia pre-2016 you mean?

Easy, you don't have to listen to me, Kiki. Listen to Trump saying it himself - from the White House released "transcript":

TRUMP: "The other thing, there's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me."

It's not opinion, it's fact.

SIGGY use to say if there was collusion in 2016 surely we'd have phone conversations... like this one that was not caught until a whistle blower had the nerve to call it out? Not only does this show Trump's willingness to use help from an adversary to throw an election, it shows how he might have done it before. A simple phone call, you help me I'll help you, wink wink.



Ukraine is an adversary?

Biden and son didn't think so. The Podesta Brothers didn't think so.




It is if their president gives in to Trump's flagrant over step. This is all about Trump Making Trump Great Again. If he caves (and I wouldn't blame him if he does, The US represents their survival), then he sets himself up for further extortion/kompromat from Russia. No doubt Trump gets together with Putin on a regular basis for some fun dictator chat.

Yep - not let down though. That was Pelosi. She didn't do anything with the report - weak tea. Total liberal weanie move. But now? You may have heard about Impeachment Inquiry? I know you don't give a shit about anything but being a smartass or talking about yourself, but this could be a big deal. I definitely want to have her take.
