godzilla Posted December 13, 2019 Author Report Posted December 13, 2019 the senate trial should be really interesting... i don't understand why Russublicans and Trump don't get that subpoenaing the likes of Joe and Hunter Biden is a bad idea. i suspect that they will just say fuck you! why wouldn't they? that's what Trumps actors did to the House. Mitch and other people who are actually concerned for the future see a complete breakdown in branch power of the House and then the Senate if they are unable to call on people. someone like Hunter Biden may also just say "i'll go if Mulvaney goes.. and throw in Bolton as well" and Joe says "i'll go if Trump goes" and that would be a disaster for Russublicans. Republicans try to avoid an impeachment trial civil war Quote

godzilla Posted December 13, 2019 Author Report Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) and, of course, always difficult to explain why it is that Trump and his executives can't get their story right? Pompeo insists Trump 'made clear' to Lavrov that he won't tolerate Russian meddling “We haven't even discussed elections,” Lavrov said, later appearing to indicate that he had raised with the president remarks Pompeo made to him earlier in the day about election interference. “I never talk about what the president says in those private settings, but I can tell you that Foreign Minister Lavrov’s statement is not accurately a reflection of my recollection of that meeting,” Pompeo said Wednesday. and we all know that Pompeo's "recollection" is as good as anyone elses in this administration! not very good! lol!

You seem very emotional in your arguments, I feel bad for you, really. Biden's son had no qualification to be on the board of an energy company.

I don't give a shit. Biden, as part of official US and EU policy told Ukraine they needed to get corruption under control. And one of the things that required was getting rid of Sergeant Schultz and putting someone who was actually interested in investigating corruption in place. There was no advantage to either of the Bidens in this despite the insinuations of the sleaziest people in Washington. Trump's daughter and son in law have no qualifications to be in the White House (nor does Trump). That's a lot more important to me than whether Biden's son was hired by some company because of his influence. Trump's sons are negotiating for Chinese funding for Trump's Malaysia project while his daughter is negotiating with them for trademarks even as Trump is negotiating with them over trade. That's about a thousand times more pertinent to the discussion than anything Biden's son did.

You can fight a subpoena in court, but you can't ignore it. You can't tell everyone in the administration to ignore all requests for information and testimony from the part of government which is constitutionally mandated to provide oversight of that administration. Personally I think the Democrats should just drop the hammer and arrest all these people. It's been done before. People go to prison for ignoring/refusing congressional subpoenas and they should arrest anyone who does so, starting with Rudy Giuliani.

I wonder how these wannaby American conservatives would react if it emerged that Justin Trudeau had tried to blackmail a foreign government into launching a phony investigation into his conservative opponent in the year before an election. 500 paid off lying scum democratic supporters. The more you write here, the more I am starting to believe that you are totally clueless when it comes to politics. Trudeau or Teflon Don is immune from any kind of prosecution. We all have seen that happen already. And for his crimes he gets to be the emperor of Canada for another four more years. Teflon Don will always get away with his crimes against the taxpayer's of Canada, while the conservatives will be forced to pay up for their crimes against the taxpayer's of Canada.

I love it! Bash Trudeau some more, Mr. President. Gawd only knows that he deserves all that you can heav-ho on him. Maybe if Trudeau would stop going to the Canadians taxpayer's ATM bank machine all the time, and taking out millions of our tax dollars every day, and giving it all away to refugees and to third world countries in foreign aid, Canada could pay it's bills on time. Canada will always be seen as a deadbeat country to Trump because that is what it has become now. An insignificant socialist country. Quote

godzilla Posted December 14, 2019 Author Report Posted December 14, 2019 i think this is a great article if you think that Trump destroying the powers of the House and Senate are a joke. the fact that the American people voted a majority in the House to protect themselves from tyranny is about to become meaningless. Trump supporters have already made it clear on this forum that there is _nothing_ that Trump can do that would cause them to abandon him because he will simply say that he didn't do it.

That says it all. ok, so they're corrupt. but the American people voted them an overwhelming majority in the House. that's democracy. and now, the system that has kept Americans free from tyranny is about to implode at the hands of a tyrant. Trump is exploring exactly how much power and control he can have without any oversight from the other "equal" branches. and, on topic, he is doubling down on his need to prove that it was the Ukraine that interfered in the 2016 election and not Russia. and no one has any plausible explanation why that is so important to him. there is no explanation other than he is a Russian spy. because it doesn't matter to anyone except the Russians.
