House Impeachment Hearings

[Dribble]

Nobody, including Volker himself, was certain about just what Volker was going to say.

He said he was wrong concerning Biden. Oh that sucks for Republicans here

Good article summarizing the inconsistencies with Volker's private testimony with others. Also gives for the external pressures Volker faced as a seasoned diplomat.

"Call me Lt Col.!!" Vidman <derp snip>

I understand that neither you or Nunez ever served in the military, but surely you've watched "A Few Good Men"? Does the Jack Nicholson quote 'I would appreciate it if you would address me as "Colonel" or "Sir." I believe I've earned it.' ring any bells?

 

[heathergives]

I will agree that not addressing Lt. Col. Vindman by his proper military title was a deliberate insult. Period.

*Vindman

(Both Gavager and heathergives got that one wrong. Hmm.)

 

[heathergives]

*Vindman

Thanks.

 

[KeithD]

Is anybody still reading Reichguard's hallucinations?

Only when he's quoted.

Oopsies!



As both Queerbait and Hashtag would say, "That's Hillarious (sic)"

 

[adrina]

You jumped into my conversation.

Biden threatened to hold back 1 billion dollars if he didn't get his way, that's extortion, remove a prosecutor who was investigating the company his son was working for!!!!! BLIND TDS!!!!! THAT'S EXTORTION!!! PROTECTING HIS SON!!!! THAT'S EXTORTION!!!!!!

Do you understand the difference between a vice president acting in accordance with policy directives as well as the stated foreign policy goals of the US (as well as the EU) vs a president standing in the way of set policy unless he gets something that benefits him?

Do you?

 

[KeithD]

vs a president standing in the way of set policy unless he gets something that benefits him?

set and already approved by every other office and already congressionally apportioned funds.

 

[heathergives]

Oopsies!



As both Queerbait and Hashtag would say, "That's Hillarious (sic)"

And I acknowledged and corrected my mistake; more than you are capable of.

 

[Dribble]

it is a PRES that SETS policy

there is NO SET POLICY

And this is why he WILL be the 3rd President ever to be impeached. What a fucking honor. Something his kids will always be proud of. Traitors.

This Senate will never convict.

Probably right ,but if the verdict comes before the election there will be fewer Republican senators .

And hopefully one more conservative Justice.

Do you?

Foreign policy is not conducted by consensus, policy directives are generated by the president. Mr. Biden was challenged by Obama as to the appearance of a conflict of interest having his son on the board of Burisma. Holding back 1 billion dollars unless the firing a prosecutor investigating the very company Hunter Biden was on the board of directors having no experience in the company mission, is extortion!!!

Two were confirmed this week. A bit greedy, are we?

That prosecutor was not investigating Burisma. Nobody but you is saying that he was.

Wow, I must be living in a cave. Trump appointed two more to the SCOTUS?

And your point is? Are you not concerned about the conflict of interest with Ivanka and the Chinese patents that sailed right through? Or of Don Jr peddling his new book? You seem very selective in your issues with conflict of interest. As if you have an axe to grind.

How many exclamation marks do you need to make points?

You guys read fake news all day long, get so outraged that you ignore the realities - based on real facts, not alt facts - right under your nose.

You are more outraged about something that happened several years back - that was never an issue until the conspiracy theory BS started up - than something that is going on right now, with the current president. I can guarantee you that if this was Hillary you would not have near the complacency.

He should be ashamed for insisting on his authority to set foreign policy?

That's a refreshing bit of candor on your part.

we have mutual friends that see no problem with it, this is playing out exactly as I predicted. The Biden's corruption will be finally exposed and the Democrats played right into the trap, hahaha. Then our mutual friends will turn the cheek and become silent. Because their hatred of Trump outweighs their loyalty of our Country and it's unfortunate. The trade deals that Trump is in the process of negotiating with China, Japan and other countries will keep the economy on steroids like we've never seen in our lifetime. 2020 will see us retake control of the House and the Supreme Court will go 6-3. The liberal /socialist agenda is DOA. And I'm loving it.
Liberals will again be crying... awe here have a cookie

Doesnt matter. Impeachment is a permanent stain that will never go away. History books baby. Disgraced.

I seriously doubt if the wealthiest POTUS ever really gives a whit about his position in history. That could be why so meany people (especially "Latte liberals" despise him.

I'll grant you, I voted for Gary Johnson in the last election, with an 'anybody but Hillary" attitude.

I'll freely admit that Trump has his issues, however to demonize all conservatives as "deplorables" or worse is an anathema, as not all of us think that way.

As long as you have your priorities straight.

I find it interesting that so many Americans actually support many of these "socialist policies", but you just want liberal tears.

That’s why I suggested he educate himself to prevent further embarrassment and he got snarky.
