  2. So far I think impeachment is a bad idea . Let the voters decide in 2020 . This just further divides the country.
  3. Donald Trump’s boasts about former Ukrainian prosecutor’s fairness ring false Trump’s boasts about Shokin — that he was widely seen as a "very good" and "very fair prosecutor" — clash with the view of many Western leaders and institutions. Largely, they were united in seeking Shokin’s removal. When Shokin was sacked on March 26, 2016, press reports explicitly linked his ouster to corruption. Here’s how the New York Times described it: MOSCOW — Bowing to pressure from international donors, the Ukrainian Parliament voted on Tuesday to remove a prosecutor general who had clung to power for months despite visible signs of corruption. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2019/sep/26/donald-trump/donald-trumps-boasts-about-former-ukrainian-prosec/ So did Joe Biden do the right thing back then . It was Hunter Biden in the wrong.
  4. So tell us what is liddle'
  5. Is liddle' a perfectly cromulent word as well ?
  6. So is Trump more intelligent then other foreign leaders ?
  7. I'm starting to worry about myself , I'm looking forward to this 1/2 time show.?
  8. Yep , that is why Biden is now unlikely to win nomination
  9. “Who’s the person that gave the whistleblower the information? Because that’s close to a spy,” Trump said. “You know what we used to do in the old days, when we were smart, right? The spies and treason? We used to handle it a little differently than we do now.” The Los Angeles Times obtained and released a recording of the president’s comments. The Trump administration reportedly began placing transcripts of Trump's calls with several foreign leaders in a highly classified repository after leakers publicly divulged the contents of Trump's private calls with the leaders of Mexico and Australia in 2017. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ukrainian-official-appears-to-cast-doubt-on-quid-pro-quo-claim That will deter a direct knowledge whistleblower
  10. US says Assad regime used chlorine in May attack Pompeo said Wednesday that the US "will not allow these attacks to go unchallenged, nor will we tolerate those who choose to conceal these atrocities." He also announced an additional $4.5 million contribution by the US to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons "to help its investigations of continued chemical weapons use in Syria." The Trump administration ordered retaliatory strikes against Syrian regime targets in 2017 and 2018 after reports of chemical weapons attacks by Syrian President Bashar al Assad's forces. https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/26/politics/syria-chlorine-attack-may/index.html
  11. Darby is out week to week , if Maddox is also out , Jalen Ramsey is available for trade.
  12. The timeline of Trump’s decision to withhold aid to Ukraine is increasingly suspicious Trump ordered the aid held just ahead of a call with Ukraine’s president. (call on July 25) President Donald Trump reportedly asked his acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney to ensure Ukraine did not receive the $391 million in military aid Congress had approved — at least one week ahead of the phone call he made to that country’s leaders that now sits at the center of a whistleblower’s complaint. According to a report from the Washington Post Monday night, officials at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) told the Pentagon and State Department in mid-July to freeze the aid over “concerns” that the money didn’t need to be spent. The funds were finally released on September 11, but the timing of that request — not to mention Trump’s personal involvement — is drawing extra scrutiny as the whistleblower complaint roils Washington. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/9/24/20881505/donald-trump-withhold-aid-ukraine-timeline-whistleblower While the current OMB Director is Mick Mulvaney, he is currently also the acting White House Chief of Staff.
  13. When quality people like Rex Tillerson , Jim Mattis , John Kelly and Nikki Haley leave the administration to name a few , there is a very serious problem. Tucker Carlson: Adam Schiff Is ‘Clearly, Demonstrably Mentally Ill’ https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-tucker-carlson-says-adam-schiff-is-clearly-demonstrably-mentally-ill The country is dividing to the point of danger
  14. How about testify behind closed doors ?
  15. So now that the whistleblower complaint is declassified , Congress can subpoena those present at call to testify ?
  16. I like listening to Sal , Howard and Jeremy for short amount of time though unless big news.
