TSOL Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Whatever happened to @Kemp? I know he only responds in his own thread
Kemp Posted August 30, 2023 Author Posted August 30, 2023 19 hours ago, TSOL said: @Kemp Ok, I found some info on the interpreter https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/summit-secret-happened-helsinki-putin-trump/story?id=78273344 "The Biden administration is looking forward, not back," said House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., whose panel once considered subpoenaing Trump’s interpreter to testify about his July 2018 meeting with Putin in Helsinki, Finland, where only an American interpreter was also present. So it seems it was an American interpreter, Ok now we're really making some progress Honestly, what is your issue with this now? It proves that Trump is.... (Fil in the blank) I am honestly confused by the interpreter story. Was it reported wrongly at the time or did I get the story wrong?

I'm honestly not trying to be sarcastic at all, I just think that it's really unheard of for an American president to meet with authoritarian leaders like Putin and Kim Jung whatever-his-name. I really don't think he secretly conspired with them to undermine America or democracy. I think he was trying to do something no other president was able to do in having some open lines of communication. The interpretor was nearly subpoenaed to give the transcript of the conversation, but that was clearly politically motivated by the left who didn't trust/ didn't want to trust Trump. It was an attack to diminish his accomplishments in meeting with these leaders. But the left backed off the subpoena probably because it didn't make political sense for them I just don't see how Trump meeting with these leaders is some indictment of him being a dictator 1

It's his constant praise of dictators and his constant derision of non-dictaors. The worst part was his taking the word of Putin over his own advisors. Can't you admit that if a Democrat President did that, that Republicans woud want that guy tossed out of office?

I get Trumps mentality, it's a "keep your friends close, your enemies closer" type of thing. Democrats have different mentality in my view. Trump is clearly like an old fashioned hard-a$$ type. I get that, I can relate with that. Democrats are more the smile and lie to you types. We can all agre, I think, that politicians are pretty sleazy, Trump just does it to your face where a Biden tries to be sneaky behind your back about it. Again, me personally, I can better relate to the "right to your face" approach

If a Dem had done that, what would have been the reaction of Republicans? If a Dem had done things like praise attackers of the Capitol, or create fake electors in the hopes of reversing election results, or threaten a government official with retaliation if they didn't find votes to make him the winner etc,. what would your reaction be?
The Frankish Reich Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 2 minutes ago, Kemp said: or create fake electors A reminder: when the Michigan Republicans did this, they actually referred to the bogus slate as "fake electors." No one was even pretending that there was a legitimate purpose. "Fake electors." That's how cynical and illegal the whole scheme was. 1

That’s a big risk to you and to Ryan, your lawyer.” Before you try and tell me that that isn't a threat, please tell me that if your boss at work said that to you, you wouldn't consider it a threat. If you do say that, you're lying. Now imagine the most powerful man in America said that to you and tell me that's not a threat.

They (so the indictment charges) sent her, a black woman, out to similarly intimidate a black election worker wrongly accused of counting fabricated ballots. Again, subject to proof at trial, but this was the mafia style intimidation used by the campaign to use the power of the president's control of the Justice Department to try to make state officials engage in corrupt acts.

Oh I see it now, failing to count legal votes and tossing out illegal ones might be an illegal action in some universe, just not this one.

So, the 60 something lawsuits that made these types of claims that all failed, even in front of judges appointed by Trump, ruled incorrectly? Since Trump, Rudy etc,. couldn't come up with that proof, they sure could have used your help, since you are in possession of this proof. The question is, why didn't you help them out?

But if we’re right, a lot of them will go to jail. Let’s have trial by combat. I’m willing to stake my reputation, the President is willing to stake his reputation, on the fact that we’re going to find criminality there.”
