Why isn't more being made of Trump trying to cover his tracks with his after-the-fact phone call in which he says "I WANT NO QUID PRO QUO" -- a phrase he only learned after the whistle blower came for

I feel so much better knowing the man who paid 140k to a porn star before the 2016 election to buy her silence, is looking into possible corruption of another candidate. 

The current Republicans in Congress are straight cowards.

rant

 

A rant is an argument that is fueled by passion, not shaped by facts. When the shouting starts on talk radio, or when a blog commenter resorts to ALL CAPS, you're almost certainly encountering a rant.

 

Rant comes from the Dutch ranten, "to talk nonsense." Rave is a close synonym — in fact, "to rant and rave" is a popular expression. When rantis used as a noun, it means something like tirade. The first recorded usage of rant is from the end of the sixteenth century, in Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor. By the middle of the turbulent seventeenth century, the name Ranters was used as a catchall pejorative for various groups of radical Christian dissenters.

Yep Trump was "bribing" the Ukrainian president to investigate shit that wasn't true.

 

It's actually called extortion.

Yep, Trump committed an "impeachable" offense apparently for no good reason at all. 

 

He tried to get them to open an investigation for 1 very good reason... to smear his potential political opponent. He knew it didn't matter if it was true or not. He just needed the investigation and the appearance of guilt.

Some of this will come out after these investigations are concluded. 

 

What investigations?

No reason to rush it along. Get the tax records. Let the courts rule whether the congressional subpoena is enough to force Bolton and others to testify. Find out what happened to the millions of dollars that were left over from the inaugural fund.

 

The Supreme Court on Monday issued a temporary stay of an appeals court ruling that granted House Democrats' access to President Trump's financial records.

 

Trump's lawyers had appealed the ruling, which was set to go into effect on Wednesday. The subpoena from the House Oversight Committee will be unenforceable while the Supreme Court decides whether to take up the case.

As expected. 

 

They should uphold the subpoena. The "My client is super stressed about it" defense really isn't relevant.

The deeper this gets the more ridiculous this whole thing is.  Pretty basic really.  If you are someone who is buying into this crap you are one fing idiot.  Even if you don't like Trump you have to be a complete moron to not see through all of this.

 

Seventy percent of Americans said President Donald Trump was wrong to pressure Ukraine’s leader to pursue probes into his political opponents, according to a new survey, and more than half of respondents indicated he should be removed from office.

 

An ABC News/Ipsos poll published Monday found that 51 percent of those surveyed believed Trump should be impeached by House lawmakers, as well as convicted by the Senate. Six percent said that while Trump’s actions were wrong and that he should be impeached, he should not be ousted by the Senate.

 

An additional 13 percent also deemed the president’s push for foreign investigations of his rivals to be wrong, but believed he should neither be impeached nor convicted by Congress. A quarter of respondents, 25 percent, said Trump did nothing wrong.

 

The survey’s findings come after the House impeachment inquiry’s first week of public hearings, which a majority of Americans have been monitoring. Among those polled, 21 percent said they have followed the proceedings “very closely” and 37 percent have followed the hearings “somewhat closely.”

A total of 42 percent of respondents say they followed last week’s testimony “not so closely” or “not closely at all.”

Must be worst being exposed as a gullible schmuck on a constant basis.

After you die, modern science really must examine your brain so that we can learn exactly how someone as spineless, servile, and craven as you can call anyone else gullible without spontaneously combusting from the cognitive dissonance it surely caused.

 

I take insults from Trump supporters about as seriously as I would those from a 3rd grader except I know that the 3rd grader will actually grow up and stop being an idiot one day.
