MAGAThread XVI: Raising the Barr

[Cannot think of a name]

Trump was not an unknown figure before the election. He already had a deserved reputation back then. Having an opinion of someone based on earlier experience is not bias.

Nice try lol, Peace over and out, lol at your post not you.

I have a challenge for you, and I 100% do not think you can do it. Like, fully incapable. Not a chance in this world.

Go a whole day without your posts containing these words: Bias, proud, lol, politics.

I don't think you'd be able to make it two posts. You'd have to actually address current events, engage with specific issues, forward the conversation, make a new and relevant point. I don't think you have the chops. Can you prove me wrong? I don't think you can.

Pompeo accuses House Democrats of trying to 'intimidate, bully' State Department officials.

In the fierce letter addressed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., Pompeo blasted the depositions in the impeachment probe as rushed and potentially in violation of executive privilege, accused committee staff of not following protocol, and appeared to say the officials will not show up.

Looks like they're going to have to pry those documents, and people for testifying and evidence. We should also note that we've learned that Pompeo Took Part in Ukraine Call.

On the other hand, him not doing those things makes him perfect for the MAGAthread. He just needs to change his political views somewhat and he'd fit in without a lick of criticism.

Of course, stonewalling was the tipping point in launching the impeachment proceedings, so this should go swimmingly.

There's also reportedly a Tense Relationship Between Barr and Giuliani Complicates Trump Impeachment Defense. Reportedly, Barr is upset Trump lumped him in this call and doesn't view highly of Giuliani.

Oh Barr, don't make Trump choose between you and Giuliani. Because Trump will 100% pick the guy he sees on TV defending him.

I think he's likely to burn Giuliani first, as he seems like the biggest liability at this point. If Trump dumps him as a surrogate he's too incoherent to be effective if he turns out Trump.

But on the other hand Giuliani is on TV all the time defending Trump, especially on Fox news. And credit where it's due, while mostly an idiot and incoherent, old Rudi has been mostly sticking to the Republican party line on the whole Ukraine story.

And he's been doing all of this for free. Rudy is the illustration of the words "pawn," "sucker," and "tool".

Like everyone who's been working in the Trump administration, so no surprise there. Seems only Mattis and Kelly have escaped with any shred of dignity around them from that cesspool.

Which is fair, but I submit that Trump only plays lip service to valuing loyalty in so much as it's a one way street leading to him. Giuliani is in a prime position to become the sin eater of this whole affair as his involvement is the most problematic. If Trump reaches a point where he thinks that he can shift that guilt to Giuliani, Rudy's loyalty won't mean shit. Cohen didn't flip until Trump turned his back on him, as long as he thought Trump would cover him he was a loyal mouthpiece.

True. Barr's position in this is much more easily defensible and deniable, so I can definitely see where you're coming from.

We'll just have to see how this all plays out. Anything is possible.

Donny fancies himself a mob boss, and the most appropriate comparison is James "Whitey" Bulger. Demanded loyalty from those around him while 6ix9ining them to the FBI at the same time.

To my many Critics on NS:

I don't like to quote all my fellow nations in one post but they are so many I will make an exception in this case.

I am not so called insulted by any of my fellow nations on anything it is on my sig, I learned that the hard way on NS with this culture we have on NS of reporting each other for anything we can think of, it is on my sig please read my sig.

"He just needs to change his political views somewhat and he'd fit in without a lick of criticism."lol again, I don't need to change my political views to fit any of my fellow nations political views, that is called democracy. I don't say my fellow nations need to change their political views to fit my political views. President Trump is not a God Emperor, I know a real God Emperor from personal experience.

I respect all my fellow nations different, economic, political and social views on all issues, including on my pet issue of Cuba on NS, and their right to post it.

At least I have enough respect for Ifreann to state he knows a lot about politics but we disagree on the issues including this one about President Trump.

I respect all my fellow nations different, economic, political and social views on all issues, including on my pet issue of Cuba on NS, and their right to post it.

I don't need to accept the challenge, and I see Cannot Think of a Name still does not read my post in context about what we are doing here on NS. I use Bias, proud, lol, politics, just like you all post Donnie is guilty as charged by the Democrats and Never Trumpers.

I don't understand Spirt of Hope's quoting me with this:
Are you denying President Trumps numerous extramarital affairs, his multiple divorces, his denial of President Obama's citizenship, his Twitter posts, and other behavior before throwing his hat into the 2016 presidential race?

I stated, I for one have posted many times I disagree with my fellow Republicans, it was dumb, wrong and stupid to try to impeach President Bill Clinton.

This has nothing to do with:
Trump was not an unknown figure before the election. He already had a deserved reputation back then. Having an opinion of someone based on earlier experience is not bias. Posted by Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States.

I am waiting until the day the Democrats nominate their Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates to volunteer to help out at my area's Trump campaign headquarters any way I can. This will be my third time volunteering. The first time I was a Republican Poll watcher, the second time I volunteered at my area's campaign headquarters and they gave me the job of handing out campaign, signs, buttons and flags to persons who came by to get them. I am not good at going door to door talking to people if not I would do so.

One day I might be a Republican Governor of Florida, a Rep House Rep or a Rep Senator lol. or if they change the US constitution a US Republican President of America lol.

I am a native born Cuban, Proud Conservative Republican Hispanic Latino Cuban American Citizen supporter of President Trump and Republicans for all the policies I have posted about on this thread like millions of American Citizens and their is nothing wrong with that.

I respect all my fellow nations different, economic, political and social views on all issues, including on my pet issue of Cuba on NS, and their right to post it.

Thank you.

You have made it quite clear via your posts there is nothing Trump can do that would change your support for him.

A few do say all of the above about me, but it does not bother me please read my sig. The thing is many of my fellow nations cant not accept that Donnie might be innocent of an impeachable crime, to them Donnie is guilty as charged.

Then they say Trump is a God Emperor and I am loyal to my God Emperor Donnie, without posting their loyalty to the politicians they support.

By the Democrats and Never Trumpers, separation posted for emphasis.

I respect all my fellow nations right to their economic, political, cultural and social views on NS, including on President Trump and their right to post it, including on my pet issue of Cuba for obvious reasons, they don't seem to respect my right to my political views.

I don't say my fellow nations have to change their political views to fit my political views.

Ok now you can all have your lol attacks on Donnie might be innocent, it doesn't bother me, please read my sig. Peace over and out.

Thank you for your post. Necroghastia

Sounds interesting, I second Telconi's question?

A federal appeals court on Tuesday affirmed that the Federal Communications Commission acted lawfully when it scrapped the U.S. government’s net neutrality rules in 2017, but the ruling opened the door for state and local governments to introduce their own regulations designed to treat all web traffic equally.
In a nearly 200-page opinion, judges on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the FCC and its Republican chairman, Ajit Pai, who was appointed to his position by President Trump.
