All the transcripts show is the President coordinating with Ukraine on a criminal investigating. The fact it involves the former VP's cokehead son isn't really much of an impeachable offense.


Remember, attempting to solicit foreign interference in an election is OK if a Republican is the one doing it. :roll:

It's all a witch hunt, yaknow...

Despite former campaign manager Manafort actually being in actual jail for actual collusion.

Despite this latest attempt to blackmail Ukraine into giving him (what he thinks is) dirt on a political opponent.

All a witch hunt...

Yet the 25 year RW anti Clinton campaign (an actual witch hunt) was totally justified and all the bogus theories and "evidence" they produced? They feel that it's a real scandal so it has to actually be one.

"There was no proof the Clintons are corrupt, we just feel they are." Or to quote Bill Maher, "I don't know it for a fact... I just know it's true."

All the transcripts show is the President coordinating with Ukraine on a criminal investigating. The fact it involves the former VP's cokehead son isn't really much of an impeachable offense coercing the Ukrainian government to investigate the son of an outspoken critic and potential electoral opponent, as well as pushing them to help in undermining a report that stopped just short of claiming the President in question violated the law, with the veiled threat of cuts to aid.


Much better.

Zelensky aligned with Russia? Really? He was a staunch supporter of Euromaiden, wants Ukraine to join NATO, and wants to reclaim Crimea and the Donbass, that doesn't sound like someone aligned with Russia.

Source Article and Video MSN.Com
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... spartandhp

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters during a joint press conference with President Donald Trump that he was not pressured by the U.S. president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

Since his English is not perfect, Trump added, In other words, no pressure, no "quid pro quo."

The article mentions Republican Mayor Rudolph Rudy Giuliani of New York, US House Democrat Majority Leader and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden.

President Trump talked and mentioned them and Hillary. The Video speaks for itself, a good view pro or con.

I think Harris is still the establishment and media favorite. Warren in my view is just not messing up so she is earning it.

You don't necessarily need to mess up to get bad press. Policy criticism should be a thing, but I haven't seen any on her in the Post or NYtimes in months.

Honestly to me, that's because she's hitting a sweet spot, you know? Bold enough, but workable.

I doubt every policy she released has been 100% perfect, and it should be the media's role to look into that, but instead they just give us endless puff pieces.

To be fair most of them aren't as wonky as her so wouldn't know as much. :lol2:

I mean, she didn't write them. They were written by think tank and professor people, and she put her name on them. Surely the New York times can afford a professor to read, like, one of them, and tell us what's good and bad?

I really thought this Trump Ukraine Gate Impeachment drive by the Democrats in congress, which is supported by all the Democratic candidates running for President, except for Tulsi Gabbard, would be a hot issue on this 2020 election thread.

Source?

Politicians generally don't write their bills, she (to my knowledge) hasn't claimed she does, many were just bills produced by other senators, including one she didn't co-sponsor for a couple of years, until right before announcing it as her plan. There was an article about the people who do write them, possibly in Vox, that I can't find right now. here is an obviously biased, but apparently accurate piece about some of the borrowed bills.

But this, of course, isn't the point.

Like I said before, her coverage as of a few months ago was mostly negative per 538.

There's nothing to substantiate the claim that she's getting a pass, you're just looking for a reason as to why this can happen but Sanders is still the perfect candidate.
