Given that I have been for impeaching both Clinton and Trump, that last sentence is a little odd. You may think I am too naive for expecting a higher standard but my views have been consistent as I have opposed misdeeds in both Presidencies. I have not heard many here that stated they were either for impeaching both times or acquitting both but I have more respect for those that can be consistent and see right and wrong, in spite of the party of the President. What were your 1999 impeachment thoughts......for or against removing BillyC? Why or why not? http://www.annarbor.com/news/opinion/a-matter-of-principles-keeping-the-new-joe-mccarthys-at-bay-by-learning-the-lessons-of-our-past/ I didn’t say it, it was T. L. Skin-erd. The guy is notoriously closed-minded and judgmental. I’ll take a shot at answering though. I applaud your consistency on the impeachment issue if, upon reflection, you feel it was the right position. I was not particularly politically woke during the lead up to the Clinton impeachment, and had a rather heated argument with my father-in-law in defense of Clinton and against the political shenanigans that lead up to it. I thought at the time his biggest crime was exposing his throat to his adversaries, but the perjury was a colossal mistake and impeachment-worthy. At the time, I called him the Dumbest Smart guy in the world. It seems T.L.’s last statement was just reflection on the current state of affairs with respect to impeachment, pointing out the obvious: regardless of which side of the fence you’re on, there were checks, balances and a resolution. Complaining because the desired outcome wasn’t achieved seems, well, contrary to the concept of “checks and balances”. I’m speculating of course, because not only is the guy closed-minded and judgmental, he’s not a good texter and has not replied to an inquiry on your behalf.

Upon reflection and time....and, no, actually given what now passes for no prob, the fact that Bill lied, seems like, eh, so who doesn't? Times have changed on lying for sure. In 1999 my buddy was a big deal in Human Resources. It stuck when he opined that the Pres would be fired from any large public company if that behavior with an intern and subsequent lying became public. He thought any board would replace the guy pronto. I kept thinking that BillC should be held to higher standards. Apparently you too thought the perjury too much. Again though, times have changed that we were aghast at lying.. Seems today if the Pres did it, we likely would not agree as to how 'bad' that was. 33 minutes ago, leh-nerd skin-erd said: Btw Bob, on the column you linked from the other Bob in Mich. i agree wholeheartedly with the premise, and we can both agree that Joe McCarthy was a bad guy.

I just don't agree that holding Trump accountable for the Ukraine scheme is hyper. I realize too that you see it differently. The lying thing, c'mon Len, Trump can not be trusted to tell the truth every day of every week. He lies so much more so than (on my honor) than any politician I have ever heard speak. His only rivals are his staff. Holy crap that Kelly Ann Conway can spit out 3 lies before any normal person could interrupt or interject. But I digress.....To say there is any level of equivalence cuz you can find a lie for them is not being sincere, imo. Question: Can you tell his lies from his truths when they happen? If so, what is the tell or the clue? If Trump were impeached of course Mr Pence is in the wings. He is possibly worse than Trump on several issues from my perspective. His 'faith' may guide him and that, if it wasn't fake, would be an improvement but the separation of church and state issues concern me. This 'overturn the election' seems less outrageous though when you consider it was Trump/Pence and it would become Pence Edited February 1, 2020 by Bob in Mich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These co-workers said the president’s controversial Ukraine phone call in July 2019 provided the pretext they and their Democratic allies had been looking for. “They didn’t like his policies,” another former White House official said.

Bob, you can not see that trying to equivocate B-Man with a public figure is apples and oranges, Bob? you made the equivocation, Bob. perhaps you need to go back and reread your post. i l l o g i c a l , B o b.

Upon reflection and time....and, no, actually given what now passes for no prob, the fact that Bill lied, seems like, eh, so who doesn't? Times have changed on lying for sure. In 1999 my buddy was a big deal in Human Resources. It stuck when he opined that the Pres would be fired from any large public company if that behavior with an intern and subsequent lying became public. He thought any board would replace the guy pronto. I kept thinking that BillC should be held to higher standards. Apparently you too thought the perjury too much. Again though, times have changed that we were aghast at lying.. Seems today if the Pres did it, we likely would not agree as to how 'bad' that was. Sure, I can see the McCarthy angle from the hyper prosecution angle. I just don't agree that holding Trump accountable for the Ukraine scheme is hyper. I realize too that you see it differently. The lying thing, c'mon Len, Trump can not be trusted to tell the truth every day of every week. He lies so much more so than (on my honor) than any politician I have ever heard speak. His only rivals are his staff. Holy crap that Kelly Ann Conway can spit out 3 lies before any normal person could interrupt or interject. But I digress.....To say there is any level of equivalence cuz you can find a lie for them is not being sincere, imo. Question: Can you tell his lies from his truths when they happen? If so, what is the tell or the clue? If Trump were impeached of course Mr Pence is in the wings. He is possibly worse than Trump on several issues from my perspective. His 'faith' may guide him and that, if it wasn't fake, would be an improvement but the separation of church and state issues concern me. This 'overturn the election' seems less outrageous though when you consider it was Trump/Pence and it would become Pence Standards have eroded. Check. Clinton earned his perjury charge. Check. I was never “aghast” at lying, I can’t recall a time when I didn’t think it was a normal for a politician to lie, so while I get what you’re trying to say on the higher standard issue, I think it’s a crock just as I think witnesses in thus impeachment will or could lead to some baseline of understanding amongst our political parties. I have no special truth-o-meter, but I do have the ability to reason. If you apply Bob’s Deluxe Less-Lie-Spectrometer to politicians, that’s great, but simply know that I think that argument is absurd. Your comments on Trump and Kelly Ann Conway are hyperbolic, but these issues tend to cause emotional declarations to be made, but as I said before...how cute it is you think your guys are less liarly than the people I support.

I am not here to "win" but to offer information that you (and others) probably will not seek out yourself. You asked politely, so I answered. I do not believe that Eric Ciamella is any more dangerous position, by having his name out there. You do. Though I am not interested in your "what if" proposals. Carry on with the others if you so desire. I am just trying to understand, if not to bring greater danger to the guy, why try to make sure his identity is exposed? One can push for all mentioned investigations but in this climate I find it hard to understand that you think he would not be a bigger target. Recall that guy that mailed those bombs to dozens? BTW, I never knew you didn't want replies. Going forward I can do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 The best part of any Tweet about Eric Ciaramella (the leaker/coconspirator popularly referred to as "the whistleblower") is the histrionic hacks that inevitably accuse the poster of putting his life in danger. Hypocrisy aside, no one with an IQ above room temperature could actually think that. Anyone who cares enough to pay attention has known his name for months. The theory must be that one of these crazed, rabid Trump supporters, that we hear so much about but rarely, if ever, see, feels so strongly about this that he'd take the guy out, but hasn't followed the story at all. It's a pretty stupid theory. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you comprehend that my comparison was not about public figure vs private individual? The point is exposing an individual's identity on the web exposes that individual to possible retaliation from anyone on the web that may have beef. Period. Before your stroke, let me state that I realize that public figures have less expectations of privacy What is your purpose of ensuring the guy's identity is pushed further into the light, allowing that is not necessary in order to push for any investigation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 http://www.floppingaces.net/2019/11/03/schiff-has-made-a-fatal-error/ Adam Schiff has pursued Donald Trump with a religious fervor.

I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government’ s support of Ukraine.” Trump made no such demand.
