Today, the Turks are rolling into Kurdish Syria and all Donald Trump has to say is, hey, the Kurds weren’t with us on the beaches of Normandy, so what kind of ally are they anyway? This has apparently finally gotten a rise from his evangelical fans, not because they care about the Kurds but because the Turks might end up killing some Christians too. I guess Trump forgot that the fate of Christians in the Middle East is a big deal to American evangelicals.

Find me that quote, m'kay?

Because I have a quote from the very same section referencing William J. Clinton, and the HOUSE VOTE procedure used to start an impeachment inquiry, as an indicated practice.

So - go find that quote. Or I'll just figure you're doing your usual bullshitting (lying).

I'll give you some time to cover your ass. Then I'll post the quote from the House Manual.

The defendant, Trump, does not decide the rules of impeachment. The House of Representatives does and can change them without Trump's input. Whatever you think you know about impeachment, 1kiki, it counts for nothing. Whatever Trump thinks he knows about impeachment, 1kiki, it counts for less than nothing.

Trump does get to decide whether he will lie to the House or order witnesses to not testify or refuse to make available documents, including his tax returns. And the Senate decides if Trump is guilty, which Mitch McConnell has already said Trump won't be convicted.

You know how Trump gets removed from office? Election. Everything else is just sound and fury, although Trump's tax returns, held by the State of New York, could immediately set fire to the Trump Circus Big Top. The size of fire is proportional to the size of Trump's cheating. Little cheating, little fire. Big cheating, big fire, maybe big enough to ruin his election campaign 2020.

1kiki, you should immediately switch your energy to defending the privacy of Trump's tax records. That is the only place he is vulnerable because tax cheating does NOT get decided by Mitch McConnell or the GOP.

Meanwhile - that HOUSE MANUAL that lists procedures for impeaching a president, SLOPPY. You got that quote saying they don't need a vote? You got that quote saying the procedure doesn't apply to presidents?

YANNO, like you CLAIMED. Or were you, as usual, lying your ass off?

In the 105th Congress, an independent counsel transmitted to the House under section 593 of title 28, United States Code, a communication containing evidence of alleged impeachable offenses by President William J. Clinton. The House adopted a privileged resolution reported by the Committee on Rules referring the communication to the Committee on the Judiciary, immediately releasing portions to the public, restricting Members’ access to the communication, and restricting access to committee meetings and hearings on the communication. Later, the House adopted a privileged resolution reported by the Committee on the Judiciary authorizing an impeachment inquiry by that committee.

1kiki, how many Presidents were removed by the Senate? Zero. How many Presidents removed by Death? Eight. How many Presidents? Forty-four. One President served nonconsecutive terms, which is why Trump in numbered Forty-five.

The score is Senate: 0, Death: 8
It looks like Death wins the game.

1kiki, the whole game of removing the President by a 2/3 vote in the Senate has always failed. The game was poorly designed and is run in the Senate by morons and clowns. The rules of the game change, but the result is always the same. The details of how it fails this time will not change how the game will run the next time. It will continue to fail, forever, because the Senate won't expel its clowns and morons from playing in the game.

Burisma paid Joe Biden $900,000 for lobbying – Ukrainian MP

KYIV. Oct 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Group, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada member Andriy Derkach said citing investigation materials.

Derkach publicized documents which, as he said, "describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr." at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine's press center in Kyiv on Wednesday.

Signym, you are as stupid as Trump and 1kiki. The Senate won't end Trump's Presidency but you know what could end Trump early? A stroke. If you took his blood pressure while he was running his mouth, we'd know for sure. See Woodrow Wilson's stroke:
www.history.com/this-day-in-history/woodrow-wilson-suffers-a-stroke

I can't see Melania Trump becoming acting President like Edith Wilson did:
www.politico.com/story/2018/10/02/this-day-in-politics-oct-2-1919-8531
86

This sounds like something Trump would do: "Edith and Wilson’s aide, Joe Tumulty, helped a journalist, Louis Seibold of the New York World, write a false account of a purported interview with the president. (Seibold won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting for his fabricated account of the interview.)"

White House Counsel Pat Cipollone sent an eight-page-long middle finger to House Democratic leaders on Tuesday, pledging resistance to the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

As a legal matter, Cipollone’s letter is nonsense. Several court decisions make it clear that the White House is not above the law. Executive privilege is real, and it sometimes prevents some inquiries into presidential behavior, but it is not an absolute privilege — especially in the context of a criminal investigation.

As a practical matter, however, Trump is likely to get away with it because there’s no one who can stop him. House investigators and others may be able to obtain a court order requiring the White House to comply with an investigation. But if Trump continues to refuse, Congress and the courts have limited options.

As Alexander Hamilton once wrote of courts: the judiciary “may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.”

The constitutional mechanism, meanwhile, for dealing with a lawless president — impeachment and conviction — requires at least 20 Republican senators to vote to remove a president of their own party.

So long as Trump believes that his fellow partisans will hang together, he has little incentive to comply with a court order.

If you truly believe that he is now, I bet you regret the way the Legacy Media has not picked its battles, and subsequently, how you haven't either.

For one, the "Legacy Media" is not in a battle. It is in a business. But there is a battle going on in which most Americans do NOT pay attention, which is why they lose it: Between 1989 and 2018, the top one percent increased its total net worth by $21 trillion. The bottom 50 percent actually saw its net worth decrease by $900 billion over the same period.

6ix, in this battle, the GOP protects people like me from people like you by keeping the minimum wage at a minimum and by lowering my taxes. On the other hand, the Democrats don't protect me from higher wages and higher taxes. Maybe I should vote for Trump next time, since he is making me richer?

The Latest: Ukraine to probe alleged 2016 US interference

By Associated Press
October 10, 2019 at 7:33 AM EDT

KYIV, Ukraine — The Latest on Ukrainian president’s “media marathon” (all times local):

2:25 p.m.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says his country will “happily” investigate whether Ukrainians interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections. ... He said it’s in Ukraine’s interest to determine what happened.

NOTE: This is investigation on whether or not Ukraine inerfered in the USA election on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

Quote:

President Donald Trump asked Zelenskiy for such an investigation in a July phone call
If any of you moronic liberaloids and crazy never-Trumpers had read the transcript, you should have noticed that THAT was Trump's big request from Urkaine. Biden was an afterthought.
Quote:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says there was “no blackmail” in a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump that helped spark an impeachment inquiry.

Responding Thursday to questions from The Associated Press, Zelenskiy said that he only learned after their July 25 phone call that the U.S. had blocked hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine.

So stick it up your arses about this "quid pro quo" and "dangling aid in return for favors". This is NOT the first time that Zelenskiy has said this, nor is it the first time it was posted here, but even tho you absorb lies like crazy, relevant FACTS seem to bounce off your helmet-like heads ... especially SECONDRATE, who is nuts and lives in a world of complete denial.

As I understand it, Trump will cooperate with the investigation but only if Pelosi allows Republicans to participate in meetings, to cross examine and be able to call rebuttal witnesses, and allow Trump counsel during House testimony.

Those protections were accorded Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton (when she was investigated for Benghazi) and it's only fair. Otherwise Pelosi is just heading a kangaroo court. So I'm glad that Trump is giving House Dems the big middle finger; they deserve it.

As more information comes out, I think the House Dems will be sorry that they concocted this (yet another) hoax on the American people. Barr and Durham were in Italy pursuing the FISA investigation/ Steele "dossier". It will be interesting to see what comes of their investigation.

Setting up a kangaroo court - that's exactly why House dems ignored their own House rulebook for starting an impeachment inquiry, which calls for a full House vote. (And repub participation.)

And in all the reporting I've seen on this since it began (which is a lot), the lack of repub participation, and the fact that this is a 100% dem effort without a repub in sight, had been glided-past maybe 4 times.

The Actual Laws Trump Has Broken, Just With the Ukraine and China Affairs, Could Land Him 10 Years in Prison.
https://theintercept.com/2019/10/10/trump-crimes-law/

Attorney General William Barr’s Department of Justice has declined to press charges against Trump, but Barr won't be in charge forever. The House of Representatives is pushing forward with its impeachment inquiry. In the meantime, Trump has said that he will refuse to cooperate with lawful subpoenas — itself a prima facie violation of 2 U.S. Code § 192, “Refusal of witness to testify or produce papers,” punishable by a year in prison.

Coercing his deputies into joining in the conspiracy would also runs afoul of the law. “As I said on the phone, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,” Bill Taylor, the top American diplomat in Ukraine, reiterated in a text message to Trump official Gordon Sondland, strongly suggesting he was pursuing the strategy against his own wishes.

If Taylor felt coerced into helping with “a political campaign,” that implicates 18 U.S. Code § 610, which covers that crime rather clearly under the title: “Coercion of political activity.”

The law reads: “It shall be unlawful for any person to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce, any employee of the Federal Government … to engage in … any political activity.” The sentence caps at three years.

It’s also illegal, according to 18 U.S. Code § 595, when a government official, “in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States, or any department or agency thereof, uses his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President.” That statute could add another year to the sentence.

Prosecutors, in trying to pressure defendants into a plea bargain, often engage in what’s known as “stacking,” where they find every conceivable charge and stack them to the ceiling, threatening decades in prison if the defendant contests all the charges. A prosecutor who wanted to stack charges against Trump could ding him for 18 U.S. Code § 607, “Place of solicitation,” and 52 U.S. Code § 30121, “Contributions and donations by foreign nationals.” Essentially, it’s illegal to solicit contributions to your presidential campaign from the Oval Office and illegal to solicit from foreign nationals no matter where you do it from: “It shall be unlawful for an individual who is an officer or employee of the Federal Government, including the President … to solicit or receive a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a Federal, State, or local election, while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by an officer or employee of the United States, from any person.”

That’s another three years.

Did you miss the point that so long as Trump is President and Barr is Attorney General, Trump will NOT be charged? But Trump won't always be President. Maybe Pence will be the next President. Maybe he will give Trump a blanket pardon, same as President Ford gave to Nixon:
Quote:

I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.
https://watergate.info/1974/09/08/text-of-ford-pardon-proclamation.htm
l


All President Pence need do is change names and dates. Trump's Pardon is ready to go. The next Democrat for President sure is not giving Trump a pardon. The next Democrat won't honor a self-pardon that Trump gives to Trump. Trump has to resign, or else never leave the White House. President-for-Life Donald Trump has a nice sound to it.

When Ford reads to the nation the text of the pardon, he said July 20, 1969, but the pardon says January 20, the first day Nixon was in office.

Trump's former Russia adviser set to give damning testimony on Giuliani, Sondland

WASHINGTON — Fiona Hill, who was until recently President Donald Trump's top aide on Russia and Europe, plans to tell Congress that Rudy Giuliani and E.U. ambassador Gordon Sondland circumvented the National Security Council and the normal White House process to pursue a shadow policy on Ukraine, a person familiar with her expected testimony told NBC News.

Did you miss the point that so long as Trump is President and Barr is Attorney General, Trump will NOT be charged? But Trump won't always be President. Maybe Pence will be the next President. Maybe he will give Trump a blanket pardon, same as President Ford gave to Nixon:
Quote:

I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.
https://watergate.info/1974/09/08/text-of-ford-pardon-proclamation.htm
l


All President Pence need do is change names and dates. Trump's Pardon is ready to go. The next Democrat for President sure is not giving Trump a pardon. The next Democrat won't honor a self-pardon that Trump gives to Trump. Trump has to resign, or else never leave the White House. President-for-Life Donald Trump has a nice sound to it.

When Ford reads to the nation the text of the pardon, he said July 20, 1969, but the pardon says January 20, the first day Nixon was in office.

Just a few weeks ago it seemed that Trump would skate on charges both of colluding with Russia to subvert the 2016 election and of obstruction of justice; the Mueller report was basically a bust, partly because the story was complicated, partly because of Robert Mueller’s diffidence.

But Trump has managed to make things clear. First he demanded that foreign regimes produce dirt on domestic political rivals, not just in phone calls but right there on camera. Now he’s engaged in a crude, obvious effort to stonewall the House impeachment inquiry that is clearly an impeachable offense in itself.

Why did he hand the Democrats so much ammunition? Partly he seems to have gotten high on his own supply — he actually seems to believe the bizarre conspiracy theories his supporters drum up to excuse his actions. Also, he lacks self-restraint. Even if he considers any effort to hold him accountable a form of treason, he should have known better than to blurt it out in public.

If Trump were cannier and more self-controlled, he would be unstoppable. He has the backing of a party whose elected representatives have shown no sign of scruples. He has de facto state media in the form of Fox News and the rest of the Murdoch empire. He has already managed to corrupt key government agencies, including the Justice Department.

Indeed, these advantages are so large that he may yet prevail. The only reason he could falter is Trump’s own deficiencies.

It says a lot about the modern G.O.P. that the party is still solidly behind a man so obviously, grotesquely, not up to the job. I am grateful that Trump is immature and incompetent. His character flaws may bring him down, but Republicans will learn from that. Next time they will find a Trump clone minus the obvious problems with dishonesty and mental instability.

I want everybody to read this article and see how gross the ANON is. Too many instances to even bother re-posting here when the article is just full of ANON.

Also, I wonder after reading about it if I was wrong about Bolton being a the next "good guy" to the Lefties. It sure seems that articles like this could be leading up to this if they persist.

What grade to you give Trump for his stupid move in Syria this week? Impeachable grade stupidity?

Trump has defended his abandonment of our Kurdish allies in Syria, declaring that “I was elected on getting out of these ridiculous endless wars” that have left America “bogged down, watching over a quagmire.” Listening to the president, Americans might think that we still have large numbers of U.S. troops fighting on fronts across the Middle East. We do not.

The days when we deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in the Middle East are long gone. Today, we have 14,000 troops in Afghanistan, about 5,000 in Iraq and just 1,000 in Syria. That is a grand total of about 20,000 troops in all three countries. By contrast, we have about 37,950 U.S. troops in Germany, 12,750 in Italy, 53,900 in Japan, and 28,500 in South Korea — a total of over 133,000. In fact, we now have three times more troops deployed in Spain (3,200) than we do in Syria.

Trump gave Turkey permission to wipe out the Kurds during a phone call on Sunday. If we allow Turkey to wipe out our Kurdish allies, who will be left on the ground in Syria to fight the Islamic State? Answer: No one. Since Trump has reduced the U.S. military presence in Syria to just 1,000 troops, that means we are depending on the Kurds to keep the Islamic State down. We are also depending on the Kurds to guard about 10,000 captured Islamic State fighters held in prisons in Syria — including 2,000 extremely dangerous foreign fighters.

The cry that America is fighting “endless wars” is a canard. Our force levels in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are a shadow of their former selves, and U.S. forces are not doing the fighting but rather arming and training allies who are doing the fighting for us. But after watching Trump abandon our allies in Syria to be slaughtered, why would anyone step forward to help America in the fight against Islamist radicalism? The president can’t have it both ways. If you don’t want American forces fighting “endless wars,” then you can’t betray your allies doing the fighting.

With one phone call, and given 3 days, Trump's go ahead to Turkey was followed by a war between Turkey and the Kurds in Syria. History has spoken and it said Trump's strategy is idiotic.

To keep a new war from starting, Trump only had to NOT give the President of Turkey what he wanted from Trump in that phone call. We will never know if Trump felt that Trump Towers Istanbul would go bankrupt if Trump did not give Turkey's President what he asked for -- which was to move American troops out of the way of Turkish troops so that the invasion of Syria could begin this week. That is exactly the kind of thing that would get him impeached.

Obviously, if Trump had done what he said he was going to do while campaigning, he would not own Trump Towers Istanbul today and he would not have to weigh which is more important to himself: making Trump money in Istanbul or starting a new war.

Or Trump's hotel in Istanbul? I think we know it is the hotel. I think he should be impeached for that, even though he will deny he let a war start because he loves money.

Are you saying that the legal system does not go the way it is expected? Trump agrees:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump tweeted:
What a disgraceful legal system for this guy to still be around after all of these years.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1182679369174716423

If the system was not disgraceful, Trump would not "still be around after all of these years."

There is justice! Turns out, the president is not above the law.

A federal appeals court held TODAY that Trump’s claims that he is immune to congressional oversight have no basis in law.

If the Supreme Court does not interfere with this decision, that means the House Oversight Committee will soon gain access to Trump’s financial records — including his tax forms.

The case is Trump v. Mazars USA
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1trAO6IWcy-WZlVQJTzZFUz1551RIwe7w/view
www.documentcloud.org/documents/6467307-Trump-v-Mazars.html

The decision is 134 pages long, and took 3 months to write, but this is the only paragraph that counts: "Having considered the weighty interests at stake in this case, we conclude that the subpoena issued by the Committee to Mazars is valid and enforceable. We affirm the district court’s judgment in favor of the Oversight Committee and against the Trump Plaintiffs.

So ordered."

Trump placed this particular person on this particular court to protect him from this particular subpoena. The dissenting opinion from the Trump judge was that Trump's tax returns stay secret until Trump is charged with tax evasion, but he can't be charged until tax returns are not secret and can be audited. The other two judges laughed at that Catch 22 nonsense from Trump's judge, the judge Trump owns. Trump has placed two of his judges on the Supreme Court. That might not be enough to protect Trump from the subpoena when this case goes to the Supreme Court.

I forgot to mention that Trump promised while campaigning to make these records known to all Americans, but once the moment came to make them known, Trump decided to sue to keep them secret.

You have no idea what was in that phone call. It might have been as simple as - Turkey is going in anyway. Get your troops out of the way (there were 50 left, I think) or we're going through them. And if your troops fight, we'll involve Russia. Good luck with that.

The relevant fact is that Trump had been threatened last year by Turkey to have his property taken away. Trump, out of selfishness or greed, did not sell that property so that Turkey could never threaten him or America, again. Turkey did it again. Trump's choice was to either move American troops out of the way so that Turkey can attack the Kurds or else this time Turkey will really take away Trump's property. Trump better abandon that property, fast, or it will happen again and Trump will once again have to decide if his money is more important than America.
