John Adams Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) 3 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: John? I’ll ask again if you’ve actually read the phone call? His main point is that once again the US is giving this country the lion’s share of financial aid. Get off the political rival stuff. Neither Trump nor anyone else believes Biden is going to be the candidate by next summer. So Biden was just a passing thought, even though he was by far the leading Dem candidate at that time and had just splashed onto the scene? Do you REALLY think Trump turned off his brain to the fact that Biden is the guy who plays well to PA and the middle states? I'm not saying this is impeachable, but let's be real. Trump LIVES on TV news and at that point right after Biden announced, the airwaves were filled with Biden. (And I've had to quote the call twice to prove DR embarassingly wrong on things, so yes, I've read it.) Edited October 2, 2019 by John Adams 1

GG Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 11 minutes ago, John Adams said: He named Biden, his #1 leading opponent, and asked for the "favor" of investigating him. How many times do you think Trump has used that move before: 1-remind contractor about who has all the money 2-ask for "favor" to his benefit It's not befitting a sitting president to strong-arm other presidents into investigating his leading political rival. And that's why this story has traction with some Rs. He named Biden, no one else, and I'm sure there is more corruption in the Ukraine than Hunter. Not being a grammar dick, but noting his name is Zelensky. I've seen it at PPP with a V and also two Ys. Now I'll be a dick: When the media that takes PPP's posts and runs with them comes here, we want to look our best.

(And I've had to quote the call twice to prove DR embarassingly wrong on things, so yes, I've read it.) John, you and I’ll just live to disagree on the question of intent. But we both agree this is not grounds for impeachment. This sort of thing cannot possibly be what the Constitution would categorize as high crimes and misdemeanors. It’s not even close! Our main difference is that I’ve never considered Trump to be a typical politician. In fact I’ve always seen him acting just like I would; as a typical citizen trying desperately against all odds to clean up a huge mess of insider trading, graft and corruption. Again, we’ll live to disagree. It doesn’t make you a bad person just like it doesn’t make me one either.
Chef Jim Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 This whistleblower stuff is perfect. When was the last time we heard anything about the New Green Deal, Reparations, Medicare for all, AOC and The Cheerleaders or whatever they call themselves? Oh wait I take that back. We need to bring those things back up. Those things are spotlights on how effed up the left is.

DC Tom Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 9 hours ago, Doc said: Again, Velensky stated otherwise. Sorry but you can't on one hand say that Ukraine said Biden is clean and then OTOH ignore them when they say there was no pressure. And in the end, it's all about what you can prove. No, in the end it's all about what you can sell. Much of what's being passed off as "fact" here is merely interpretation (and fallacious interpretation at that). Democrats and the media are doing the far better sales job, though.

It wasn’t sanction by the Ministry of Truth. The Dems were counting on people not reading the phone call, assuming it would be classified by the White House and assuming that most would think it’d be hundreds of pages. It almost worked! I hadn’t read it myself until just a couple of days ago. If you haven’t, it’ll take you less than five minutes. There’s literally NOTHING there at all. It’s certainly not the storyline the Left is trying to push. What a colossal waste of time. 2

Westside Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Didn't Bill Clinton sign a treaty with the Ukraine to help each other fight against corruption? This was back when he was president. If he did sign the treaty, there is no case. He is allowed, under the treaty to ask for help in fighting corruption. Case closed.
