Looks like if Giuliani is going down he plans to take everyone else with him. It would be hilarious if it wasn't such a sad state of affairs for our country.
What exactly is Guiliani "going down" for? You think he's somehow going to be impeached or go to jail or something?
Is it any wonder why I call the current left terrorists? Look at you, you're out for blood now and you also probably have no idea how many genders there are.
Democrats: Looking into Trump's actions is called an "investigation."
Also Democrats: Looking into Biden's actions is called "digging up dirt."
All sane and normal people: The fuck is wrong with these people?
Trump asks Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son for possible crimes committed.
Democrats: That's digging up dirt and trying to influence our elections!!!!
Biden demands the media stops booking Giuliani because he's saying mean things about him.
Democrats: crickets
Except that Joe admitted on video that the threatened to withhold foreign aid if the prosecutor investigating his son was not fired. That is clearly and unequivocally some quid pro quo.
From a couple months ago state funded media bringing it up: https://youtu.be/KCF9My1vBP4
And here is from his own lips.
https://youtu.be/UXA--dj2-CY
Let's remember the position the Ukraine was in at this time. Invaded by Russia. Why in the hell should our top elected officials be making millions and engaging in nepotism? Nice kickbacks.
For this being the thing that is going to finally bring down Trump things sure have been pretty silent since Trump released the transcript and the whistleblower complaint.
Oh yeah, Democrats needed to take a 2 week vacation and let the dictator in the White House continue his lawless behavior while they party it up. I sometimes forget how things work!
Do you just put random words together when you post now? Because lately your posts have just been random words put together pretending to have a point.

You realize Biden is literally on video bragging about it right?
Dumbass.
Hey Back, what's your opinion on the Biden mess after watching this video?
Someone is triggered.
While the story Biden told is true, those words in the video and your summary are not. To clarify, I mean the chyron, those words explaining, falsely, what they want you to believe but is not true.
The video comes from RT, the Russian Times, a well known state run pro-government media outlet. You've been duped by people who do not have your best interests at heart.
Full video and transcript directly from the Council on Foreign Relations:

Much like it is an “investigation” to look into the actions of Trump but “digging up dirt” when looking into the actions of Biden, it’s an illegal “quid pro quo” when Trump supposedly threatens to withhold aid (even though aid was never discussed on the phone call in question) but merely “diplomacy” when Biden does the same thing. The spin from the left is amazing. Zero shame.
In other news, looks like Trump has been trying to pressure Australia to help him out politically too: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/30/u...r-mueller.html
Did you or did you not post in the smile thread the tweet from Mark Hamill mocking a small child for enjoying Star Wars?
Is part of being a liberal elite meaning you never have to face your sins and instead you just deflect, deflect, deflect? Don't bother, it's a rhetorical question.
No one reads that giant paragraphs of stupid shit you post, clairette.
Bill Clinton meets privately with the AG who is investigating his wife while she is running for president. A few days (or weeks whatever) later it was determined that no charges would be filed.
Democrats: Stop with the conspiracy theories! Clearly they were just talking about grand kids and golf!
Trump has private phone calls with his counterparts from other countries and is getting tired of leaks so he puts them in a secure file where only a few people have access to them.
Democrats: This is proof Trump is up to no good! We need to impeach!!!!!
Do you read the articles you cite? Attorney General Barr has publicly stated that there is an active investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation. This is taken directly from your cited article:
"The report by the special counsel who completed the Russia investigation, Robert S. Mueller III, confirmed that Australia played a central role in the origins of the original F.B.I. inquiry."
Seems prudent to me that Australian assistance should be sought as part of this process.
As the article points out, what Trump is doing is using Barr to try to drum up evidence of a conspiracy in the "deep state" against him. This is a counter-narrative that he's trying to spin to protect himself. There's no evidence for any of it, but that hasn't stopped him from trying, or his supporters, like Papadopoulos, from advancing it on news shows.
Except you've been once again taken in by the far left media lapdogs of the Democrats.
Back in May Australia offered to help in the investigation, this didn't all happen recently as your laughable article pointed out.
Once again: Investigating Trump is all about justice. Trump doing any sort of investigation is "digging up dirt."
So what do you think about hooded goons known as Antifa blocking an old woman from crossing the street and screaming in her face that she's a Nazi? I need the piece of shit opinion of a "liberal elite" on this one. Please advise.
Reasonable and logical people need some evidence of wrongdoing before investigating. Hopeless conspiracy theorists demand investigations based on moonbeams.
Next time a cop pulls you over in your beater, I'll assume that you're fine with him arresting you because the voice in his head told him to.
Biden makes millions in Ukraine, puts his own son on the board of Burisma with a 600k salary, and brags publicly about threatening to withhold aid in order to block any scrutiny. You don't think that's enough to warrant an investigation?
One done by the other side, that is. You know, you call it oversight, right?
Biden literally bragging that he withheld a billion dollars to get Ukraine to fire their prosecutor that was investigating the company his son worked at = no suspicion of wrongdoing.
Second hand and third hand information from a "whistle blower" with no direct knowledge of ANYTHING they are alleging = evidence of wrongdoing.
More of that liberal elitism that 90% of us are too dumb to understand I suppose.
Oh yeah also:
So what do you think about hooded goons known as Antifa blocking an old woman from crossing the street and screaming in her face that she's a Nazi? I need the piece of shit opinion of a "liberal elite" on this one. Please advise.
Come on, Briarfox. You usually have an opinion on all things fucked up the left does. Give us your expertise on this one.
The problem is that things aren't the way you're suggesting. Biden was delivering an internationally approved message when he asked for the prosecutor to be removed, and that prosecutor's removal made it more likely, not less, that Burisma might be investigated. Shokin had already stymied an investigation into the company in 2014.
"Internationally approved message."
You know what normal people do when a possible conflict of interest might make them look like they are letting their personal feelings cloud their judgement? They let someone else take over the actions. What do Democrats do though? They just keep plowing through and hope useful idiots like you will run cover for them.
As far as your bullshit claim that him being fired increased the chances of Burisma being investigated, how do you square this one away with the fact that the prosecutor in question himself said he was forced to resign because of his investigation into Burisma?
Let me guess; he's lying. The president of Ukraine saying he wasn't pressured and there was no quid pro quo is also lying right?
Everyone defending Trump or attacking Biden are just liars and conspiracy theorists, but a "whistleblower" who in part got their information from the news we can all consume, is legit and proof that Trump is corrupt.
You are literally just the worst. The absolute worst.
At least Back just seems completely ignorant about the things he talks about. Like he just doesn't know any better. But not you. You seem perfectly aware of the bullshit you spout but you willingly do so because you don't want to let your fellow "liberal elites" down.
What do you think about far left terrorists such as yourself threatening to kill and rape Kavanaugh, his wife, and 2 children simply because Kavanaugh wants to do his job?
Hopefully the same way I feel about anyone who threatens to rape and kill anyone, they are pieces of shit.
It's hilarious you deflect to anonymous trolls on the internet in comparison to actual terrorists caught on actual video verbally harassing an old woman and preventing her freedom of movement.
Your tinfoil hat gets more crinkles hourly, I see.
The problem is, the same threat you are accusing Trump of making to Zelensky, was actually made and boasted about by Biden. That threat being: you do what we want, or you don't get the aid money. Is it not the threat that is now the basis for this impeachment inquiry?
https://www.c-span.org/video/?c48181...5GjJWvOwrut98w
I mean, Biden literally confesses to bribery right here on video.
This is unfortunately just conjecture, as conclusions on intent often are. This was not done at a time where 'clearing up corruption' in Ukraine was of foremost concern of US policy. The War in Donbass, essentially a civil war, was raging and the country was facing Russian invasion. This aid was absolutely critical and there was no reasonable expectation that the Ukrainian government could refuse any request that would delay delivery of that aid.
The media argues its the hidden message, the implication of Trump asking a 'favor'. The message is far less subtle when you threaten to withhold aid from such a war-torn, desperate recipient.
Nancy Pelosi apparently said she knew what was said on the phone call before Trump declassified and unredacted the call for public consumption.
Gee whiz, I'm no CIA agent or anything, but how the hell did she know that?
Sure smells like there is a spy in the White House working on behalf of the Democrats.
Democrats are now pushing for Trump to release MORE private phone calls he has had with world leaders because he has them locked away in an electronic file. The same electronic file Obama locked away private phone calls with world leaders.
What the fuck is wrong with Democrats? Talk about fucking up our relationships with our allies. Democrats already badgered Trump to release one private phone call with a world leader, imagine if they get Trump to release even more? World leaders are going to think twice before discussing anything with the president, Trump or otherwise.
This is how it has played out so far:
Trump has private conversations with world leaders.
At least 2 of those private conversations were "leaked" to the press.
Trump says "Okay fuck this shit, lock these conversations up and make it so only certain people have access to them."
Yet another phone call was "leaked" (this is the Ukraine one.)
Democrats now say "Since you have the audacity to secure these phone calls it's proof you are corrupt, release more."
And useful idiots like Briarfox thinks this is all perfectly normal.
Sounds like a miserable existence being part of the "liberal elite." Having to defend shit night and day you know is wrong and then laughing when a Hollywood "celebrity" mocks a small child for enjoying Star Wars. I just picture Briarfox coming home to an empty house every day and eating left over Chinese over a sink.
You have got your timeline entirely backwards. Trump locked the transcripts onto the ultra-secure server long before he became aware of the whistleblower and his biggest mistake was giving into his own massive ego and voluntarily releasing the Ukraine transcript. It confirmed /exactly/ what the whistleblower's complaint alleged.
Trump has done exactly what the population feared- he's compromised the integrity of the office, the national security of his nation and has betrayed the American people all in the name of self-interest and trying to hide his own criminal behavior.
Fucking up the relationships with our allies? LOL. Trump started that boulder rolling downhill the moment he dissolved NAFTA.
Unless you don't speak English, when you list a series of events from top to bottom are beginning to end. The only lack of understanding in the language is you having absolutely no idea how to pull your head out of your own butthole long enough to acknowledge your own lack of understanding. At least you and the Executive have that in common.
This narrative fell apart for the NYT in just a couple of hours.
Trump publicly told the world he was going to ask Australia for help in this investigation and Australia in turn said they would willingly help in any way they can because this is what allied countries do: they help one another in their lawful investigations.
The PM of Australia has said no pressure was applied to them because they would gladly help in any investigation.
You've been fooled by the liberal so called news yet again, Briarfox. What you gonna do next?
Kamal Harris says Trump should be banned from Twitter.
Trump has a normal and cordial phone call with Ukraine PM.
Democrats: OMG! Trying to influence an election! We need to see ALL of his private phone calls AND he needs to be impeached!
Biden says the news should stop giving Giuliani a platform.
Kamala Harris says Twitter should stop giving Trump a platform.
Democrats: crickets
And this is why it's not illegal for politicians to block people on twitter.

NAFTA didn't cause American jobs to be lost, it prevented our trading partners from adding unbalanced tariffs which would make it too expensive for US manufacturers to sell overseas. What's sad is having to mis-quote someone because you're incapable of intellectual honesty. That giant sucking sound? Look behind you.
Thing is, trade agreements like NAFTA would work if they included labor laws in the framework.
Honestly. From the moment NAFTA went into effect, blue collar jobs that paid good middle class wages fucking vanished or the wages stagnated.
The trade surplus two years prior to NAFTA ratification was anomalous according to statistical. Out of the last 60 years of trade with Mexico, there were only 10 years of a surplus trade balance. According to the Office of the United States Trade Representative, NAFTA created jobs, established small and medium sized businesses and spurned almost 290% increase in trade with NAFTA countries.
But there has been wage growth under Trump. Why no wage growth since the early 90's?
Let me guess, Democrats had to wait until Trump became president to start concerning themselves with middle class wage growth? So quick to blame republicans when democrats were in control for half the time.
The fact is, NAFTA killed middle class blue collar jobs and replaced them with low income service industry jobs.
So, in your head, Biden had no bad intentions and Trump did.. and you know this because you've read their mind.
It's like if you had any self awareness at all, you would see that you are being a flaming hypocritical dumbass at this point.
But you don't.. so I'm just here to help: You're being a flaming, hypocritical dumbass.
and the response from my Congresswoman.
"Thank you for contacting me to express your views about impeachment.
I appreciate hearing your views on this incredibly important subject and having the chance to talk with you about it in more detail. Listening to you, whether we agree on every issue or not, is very important to me and always helps me do better. My job is to serve everyone in our district and make a difference for Kansas.
Kansans expect our leaders to be thoughtful, to work hard, and to make sure they have all the facts before they act. That’s an ethos that informs all my decisions - whether it’s co-sponsoring a bill, or making a decision as consequential as whether to invoke Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution to pursue impeachment.
And it especially includes my sworn oath as a member of Congress to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
After careful deliberation, I am supporting the House of Representatives taking the first step in an impeachment process, beginning an impeachment inquiry.
Here’s why.
On Monday, September 23rd, I called on the Administration to turn over the transcript of a phone call between President Trump and the Ukrainian government. That Wednesday, the White House released an approximation of that call, clearly showing that President Trump abused his power and invited foreign interference into our elections - the very basis of our democracy - for his own political gain. And this was all according to the version his Administration was willing to release to the public.
While these developments are alarming enough on their own, it was also confirmed by the President that he was withholding military aid from Ukraine at the time of that call.
Congress later received a report from a whistleblower who was alarmed by the president’s actions. A non-partisan government watchdog, the Inspector General for the Intelligence Community, found the whistleblower’s account urgent and credible.
I’ve long said that I trust my House colleagues on the committees of jurisdiction as they conduct oversight and investigate the Trump Administration. But these new allegations need to be investigated separate and apart from any other oversight being conducted by the House of Representatives.
This leaves the House with no other option than to begin an impeachment inquiry, which allows us to use the full power of our chamber and all the tools at our disposal to uncover the truth. We must follow the facts, wherever they lead.
I did not arrive at this decision lightly, or without full deliberation of the information currently available. I’ll continue to weigh all the facts objectively as this investigation continues, and will do my utmost to fairly and impartially consider any possible articles of impeachment if they later come before me for a vote in the House of Representatives.
Ultimately, this is about the rule of law. Our country has laws to protect whistleblowers and to protect the security of our elections, both of which are fundamental to our democracy. It’s my responsibility as a member of Congress to uphold those laws and to protect the Constitution.
It also remains my responsibility to deliver results for the people of Kansas - focusing on health care, infrastructure, constituent services like helping Veterans’ with backlogged benefits or seniors with their Social Security, and the issues that Kansans talk about at the kitchen table each night. I can, and will, continue my work in these areas while upholding my constitutional duties.
Let’s be clear: being compelled to open an impeachment inquiry is also nothing to celebrate. This is a sad moment for our country, but it is the right thing to do.
Thank you again for contacting me. My job is to serve everyone and make a difference for all Kansans, whether we agree on this specific subject or not. I hope you’ll never hesitate to reach out in the future – please visit davids.house.gov/survey to continue our conversation.
My warmest regards,
https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?ur...M3jiXmJqsA--~C
Sharice L. Davids
Member of Congress
You’re always welcome to contact me again on any issue. And if you ever need help with the federal government – anything from backlogged Veterans’ benefits to stalled tax refunds – please contact my office in Overland Park at (913) 621-0832 or in Kansas City at (913) 766-3993. We’re here to help you cut through government red tape and make sure you get the services you deserve."
Something I think that is funny, on FB a bunch of tards are circulating a "petition" for Pelosi to resign. She is constantly winning her district by 80% or more. Her constituents love her. She doesn't care what anyone outside of there thinks.
Pelosi is a lich and if GS taught me anything it's that someone needs to find and kill her phylactery
Tomorrows going to be fun in this thread.
Way to move the goalpost and claim a win there, RINO. What my original post said, in case you forgot or hit your head, was that in only 16% of the time in the last 60 years have we had a trade surplus with Mexico. You're shorting NAFTA with the completely erroneous and misleading argument that two WHOLE years there was a trade surplus and my post points out how absolutely disingenuous your statement is by citing facts.
This is precisely why people don't sight facts to you creatures, you either do not understand it or completely disregard it because it doesn't further your argument. Fortunately political reality isn't shaped by your confusion.
~ Council on Foreign Relations.Quote:
The deal has long been a political target. In 2008, then–presidential candidate Barack Obama responded to widespread trade skepticism among the Democratic base by promising to renegotiate NAFTA to include tougher labor and environmental standards, a pledge he subsequently abandoned. The issue resurfaced in the 2016 presidential campaign, with both Senator Bernie Sanders (I–VT) and Donald Trump criticizing the pact for bringing U.S. job losses.
And the neoliberals wonder how it's possible that they lost to Trump.
The doubling down on destroying the middle class is amazing to watch.
A random quote, that's what you come back with? You really are a waste of time.
You obviously haven't read a single thing posted showing the massive increase in trade or business benefits of NAFTA. If you're unwilling to educate yourself, then I won't either. Good luck child.
No, you're right. How would we have ever survived with the tariffs on chiclets and turquoise.
You're really missing the part about what jobs went south of the border in exchange for the jobs it created here.
Most of this is moot, as it is not me that gets to go campaign in the rust belt and explain to the UAW that NAFTA was good for them.
I haven’t kept up on the news much today. Trump any closer to being impeached or the Democrats still dangling the carrot for their easily misled base?
The really funny part is that you build the all on the US side and the river basically makes a moat and with the continuing spread of alligators in the Americas and likely some dumbass releases some crocs like they have released boas and pythons and so on in the Everglades and nature will take care of it.
He should have lead with this and then you crybullies would be more receptive to just building a wall.
Let us not forget the video of Trump decompensating during a joint appearance with Finland's president.
Both sides are the big gay right now.
If the left doesn't get their shit together soon it's 4 more years of Trump.
I found it hilarious when he defined what he believes is treason. Lying. Exactly what he does.
Q Thank you, sir. Jeff Mason from Reuters. Mr. President, I’d like to ask you about your use of the word “treason.” You used it repeatedly in the last few days. Do you consider anyone who opposes you treasonous?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: No. No. I consider when they lie; when they stand before our great body in our great chamber, and they make up a story that’s fiction, like Schiff did. He took that perfect conversation I had with the Ukrainian President, and he made it into a total lie. It was a total fabrication. And you do admit that. It was a total fabrication.
He said, “This is what…” — and the only ones that don’t like my conversation are the ones that never read it. But they heard Shifty Schiff. That’s what I call a lie. And because of the fact that he’s — he’s lying about the President of the United States and as to what the President says — you know, I — believe it or not, I watch my words very carefully. There are those that think I’m a very stable genius. Okay? I watch my words very, very closely. And to have somebody get up and to totally fabricate a conversation that I had with another leader and make it sound so bad — it was so evil. And now I see this that just came out minutes ago, where he met at a time that was impossible to have done unless there’s corruption involved.
And just so you know, we’ve been investigating, on a personal basis — through Rudy and others, lawyers — corruption in the 2016 election. We’ve been investigating corruption, because I probably will — I was going to definitely — but I probably will be bringing a lot of litigation against a lot of people having to do with the corrupt investigation, having to do with the 2016 election.
It's the "very stable genius" part that's just pure art. I wonder what people a hundred years from now reading the history books will think of those transcripts.
This is fun
https://twitter.com/i/status/1179542037479202816
So still nothing has happened since Trump fully cooperated with all of the Democrats initial demands?
This is the most boring impeachment ever.
I think the real travesty here is that Dump used a meme with fucking Nickelback on twitter.
It's not like it didn't take the Republicans 2 months to bring their case against Clinton. Keep your panties on Francis.
lol @ this when democrats are in the middle of ultra projection mode with Biden :lol:
If Backlash had minions, it would be you and Seran.
https://media1.tenor.com/images/6db9...itemid=7870358
It's funny because you still think people read any of your butthurt tard links. You're still gonna hold that L until 2024.
They'll still be like, "God damn that always triggered Seran guy from that old text game forum was a retard and a half."
Democrats been at it for almost 4 years now.
BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE HIM ANY MINUTE NOW THOUGH, FOR SUPER DUPER REAL THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: 4th post, I MUST BE SO SUPER FLIBBITY FLOBBITY MAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111h
To be fair.. this IS the left getting their shit together.
They can't campaign on their real end goal of socialism, because they wouldn't get very many votes. So they have to pretend they are trying to help (insert victim group here) because Trump won't.
I hope Elizabeth Warren is their candidate.. it'll be a landslide.
That bitch be cray cray.
This is correct.
https://i.imgflip.com/30dcww.jpg
I don't trust people who don't shave their upper cheeks.
This whole thing gets more bizarre every day. Manafort resurfacing, some mysterious package of conspiracy theories that guiliani admits he created...with fake letterhead to look like it came from the Whitehouse.
The packet had a return address that matched that of the Manhattan office of Giuliani, who later confirmed that he was responsible for their production, telling The New York Times they came from a “professional investigator who works for my company.”
Yup. Agreed. His role seems to be what the whistleblower called out, which is a non government employee with no security clearances pushing the agenda for the administration through back channels, while continuing to work with manafort. I'm not sure that's a fact yet - but there's a lot of reporting about it today.
Democrats 2020 strategy:
https://media.giphy.com/media/dBkvXI...Aevu/giphy.gif
My money is on Bolton being the whistleblower.
We were constantly learning more and more about Clinton’s misdeeds and trying to get people to not cooperate and shit. So far we have the fake whistleblower was wrong on just about everything and the Democrats’ original claim for impeachment has already been destroyed. What exactly is left to investigate? At this point Democrats are just using this false whistleblower complaint as an excuse to go on a fishing expedition in the hopes of finding something or going to accuse Trump of a coverup. You really should stop being so gullible, leave that for the liberal elites.
Clinton was charged with lying under oath. "Constantly learning about his misdeeds" LMAO
And they couldn't even convict on that. That is a pretty cut and dried thing to figure out. You want to talk gullible though? You believe every lie Trump and Rudy come up with and spit it back out like a good little boy. Hell, Trump is digging himself deeper every single day because he is so triggered. They need to just let him hang himself. Little snowflake Trump needs a safe space I guess. He is getting bullied! Poor little guy.
You're precisely the type of person that foxnews was created for. Holy batshit conspiracy theory.
Fake whistleblower.
Whistleblower wrong.
Called out Clinton.
Lol. You should have added in fake news. You do realize you're the exact same retard as backlash right? Just your the other spectrum.

This is all the reasons why Schiff screwed himself and his credibility.
"Mr. Schiff on Sept. 13, a Friday night, issued the explosive news that he had been alerted a few days earlier by the intelligence community’s inspector general of an “urgent” yet unspecified whistleblower complaint. But the complaint is dated Aug. 12, and news reports now say the whistleblower interacted with Mr. Schiff’s staff prior to then. So Mr. Schiff knew about the topic of the complaint for more than a month—while the public did not. It is now clear why the intelligence chairman in that month suddenly developed an interest in all things Ukrainian, and began aggressively previewing his impeachment mantra.
On Aug. 23, for instance, Mr. Schiff tweeted that Mr. Trump tried to “get dirt on a political opponent” via personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s interaction with the office of the Ukrainian president. On Aug. 28, the chairman tweeted his newfound concern that Mr. Trump was “withholding vital military aid to Ukraine.” And on Sept. 9, Mr. Schiff suddenly announced his committee would launch a full-fledged investigation into whether Mr. Trump was trying to “pressure Ukraine to help the President’s re-election campaign.” All this was priming the public and the media for what was to come—the better to take full advantage of the whistleblower “news.”
Yet even after news broke of the complaint, Mr. Schiff played dumb. On Sept. 17, he flatly (and falsely) stated on MSNBC: “We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower.” Two days later, he thanked the inspector general, Michael Atkinson, without whom “we might not have even known there was a whistleblower complaint.” Really? Mr. Schiff wanted to make it sound as if the Trump administration was muzzling the complainant, when in fact the process was working and Mr. Schiff knew all about it."
So the fact a member of Congress was aware of a whistleblower complaint somehow invalidates the acts being reported by the whistleblower? No, I didn't think so.
By promoting and article which furthers the false narrative that the whistleblower complaint is a political hack job, you're doing exactly that. You're about as objective as Giuliani in that regard.
And you're being as objective as Adam Schiff4Brains at this point.
We got the transcript of the call.. turned out that the whistle blower that received 2nd hand information was at the very least uninformed and incorrect...
BUT ZOMG WE MUST BELIEVE EVERY COMPLAINT BECAUSE ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!!!!!

Man the Taylor texts to Sondland literally look like a trap - and Sondland deftly decimated the trap in his responses.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/conte...-b67c3440e283/
https://www.npr.org/2019/10/04/76708...e-quid-pro-quo
In one exchange dated Sept. 9, in a text Taylor sent to Sondland, the career diplomat says: "I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign."
Sondland responds: "Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump's intentions. The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo's of any kind."
Sondland continues, "I suggest we stop the back and forth by text."
"“Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump’s intentions,” Sondland wrote. “The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo’s of any kind. The President is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign.”Then Trump’s ambassador to the E.U. said that they should “stop the back and forth by text.”
“If you still have concerns,” Sondland added curtly, Taylor should call “S” – which is how people in the department refer to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo – or Lisa Kenna, one of the secretary’s top aides. “Thanks.”"
About those ellipses in the transcript..
Quote:
The call between Trump and Zelensky measured at about 65 words per minute. Transcripts of Trump’s calls have been released in the past. A 24-minute call with then-Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull came in at 133 words per minute, while a 53-minute call with then-Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, using interpreters, clocked in at 102 words per minute.

All the above are conclusive proof of russian collusion, obstruction of justice, high crimes and misdemeanors, popular vote versus electoral vote, racism, sexism and whatever else the soy boys on the left have thrown at trump for 3 years.
This is taking butthurt to a whole new level holy fuck :lol:

This is crazy right? It's not just me?Quote:
The length of the call has also been called into question. The document claims to summarize a 30-minute call but Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, told CNN that staffers in his office read the exchange out loud and clocked it at under 11 minutes, nearly 20 minutes shorter than the length described by the document.
This is the type of thing a 10 year old thinks up to prove how smart they are. But it's not a 10 year old. It's our elected officials conducting "investigations" into probably the most serious matter in the entire world: impeaching a sitting US president.
I guess I can't fully blame our elected officials because our media are willingly playing along with this shit. Imagine seriously publishing this in your news article instead of pushing back and saying "Dude are you serious?"
This entire thing just looks like a complete setup.
So there was a new "bombshell" in this aid bullshit in which there were text messages shared between a senior diplomat to Ukraine and someone else.
Said diplomat Bill Taylor said: "As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign."
The left went nuts! "PROOF THERE WAS A QUID PRO QUO RIGHT THERE! THIS PERSON HEARD IT FIRST!"
Not only did the person in texts spell out in no uncertain terms that there was no quid pro quo, but Democrats were making it sound like Bill Taylor had first hand knowledge of the supposed quid pro quo, only problem is that narrative is completely false.
Turns out Taylor's "knowledge" of a supposed quid pro quo was an article he read in Politico. That article was written by Natasha Bertrand, someone who has been pushing one Trump conspiracy theory after another.
This is all just too much bullshit to digest for a Friday evening.

Looks like the Deep State is going to produce whatever it is they need for the coup against Trump. Then they can install Hillary, make everyone drive Priuses instead of flying, eliminate hamburgers from the face of the Earth, remove all borders, and have a big multi-gender orgy. AMIRITE?Quote:
Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the whistleblower who sounded the alarm on President Donald Trump's dealings with Ukraine and triggered an impeachment inquiry, tells ABC News that he is now representing a second whistleblower who has spoken with the inspector general.
Zaid tells ABC News' Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos that the second person -- also described as an intelligence official -- has first-hand knowledge of some of the allegations outlined in the original complaint and has been interviewed by the head of the intelligence community's internal watchdog office, Michael Atkinson.
The existence of a second whistleblower -- particularly one who can speak directly about events involving the president related to conversations involving Ukraine -- could undercut Trump's repeated insistence that the original complaint, released on Sept. 26, was "totally inaccurate."
Come on now, Back, even someone like you can surely see this is starting to look like complete bullshit.
"Whistleblower" with third and fourth hand information comes forward with accusations that are mostly false. The whistleblower spoke with top Democrats in the House prior to coming forward. Democrats say it's bad shit and demand transcripts of the phone call, expecting Trump to deny the request and using that as further evidence that Trump is corrupt.
Instead Trump complies with the demand, the transcript shows the whistleblower is mostly wrong, Democrats immediately move on to the next talking point that the transcript isn't important, Adam Schiff realizes the whistleblower complaint is such shit that he has to literally make up what Trump said in the transcript to make Trump look as bad as possible and John Brennan practically begs more "whistleblowers" to come forward and wouldn't you know it? More "whistleblowers" come forward.
Even someone of your limited intelligence has to admit this all seems rather suspect, even if you don't want to flat out admit it's all bullshit.
The only thing suspect is Trump's patriotism in asking a foreign government to investigate an American political rival.
Trump has full disposal of the American intelligence apparatus to investigate anything he wants yet he asks a transitioning Ukranian government and the adversarial government of China to investigate. Trump is ready to believe these foreign governments over his own intelligence agencies like when Putin told him he didn't meddle.
Watch the republicans in the Senate abandon Trump when the trial comes.
Trump is targeting the Bidens for political gain. Don't be naive.
Are you ready to state here for the record that you would approve of the next Democratic president asking any foreign government to investigate any of Trump's children's dealings without any evidence whatsoever of wrongdoing?
And the endless stream of butthurt Democrats aren't targeting Trump for political gain?
So the endless nonsense and endless investigations into Trump is seeking justice, but just the mere mention of investigating Biden or any Democrat is "targeting for political gain"? Do I understand the fucked up brain that is Back?
Without any evidence? Absolutely not. Biden BRAGGED ON VIDEO about withholding money until Ukraine fired the prosecutor investigating the company his son worked for. Doesn't that at least warrant an investigation? No? But third and fourth hand hearsay warrants an impeachment? This is too much even for you, Back.
You're world is one of the most willful ignorant ones out there. Jesus dude, you're full in on all th propoganda and too stupid to notice.
You're missing major pieces here, but Breitbart and fox won't show you those. You cry about fake news, then intentionally position yourself to only believe your safe spaces.
Trump should be investigated because he has not been forthcoming about anything to the point of obstruction over a so-called witch hunt. If there were nothing to hide he would not be trying so hard to hide things. Wouldn't the best way to say "shut up democrats" be to show them everything to prove there is nothing there? Instead Trump has gone out of his way to obstruct the Mueller investigation from start to finish.
That investigation did find that Russia meddled in our election and that Trump could be arrested as soon as he leaves office. Trump was the one who benefited from the meddling, Trump's operatives met with Russians in Trump tower and lied about it, Trump asked the Russians to hack the DNC emails and they did.
Except the investigation into Trump includes him obstructing American lawmakers while the Bidens have been cleared of any wrongdoing already. The investigation into Trump is by Americans. Trump is asking foreign governments to investigate a political rival and his son.
Biden bragged about being a part of the reason a corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor was fired, who was not investigating his son but the owner of the company his son was on the board of, and that allies in the EU also thought that prosecutor should go.
Its much more than third and fourth hand hearsay at this point. You should check some other sources of information than those who are trying to deceive you into believing your enemies are other Americans.
I love this, there is a ABC video where they have Rep Hakeen Jeffries spewing the company line about if Trum has done nothing wrong, why does he keep hiding things. Lack of transparency doesn't mean you committed a crime. Not talking to a government investigator does not mean guilt. I love this BS. This is Joseph Goebbels at his finest.
There is stuff out there.
Here is one good link that debunks the claim.

I was going to read the entire article but that's a lot of nonsense to sift through. I did get through the first few paragraphs and I can't help but notice not a single formal investigation was mentioned at all. Is there one mentioned later in the article that you can quote for me?
Or is it when it comes to Biden we can rely on "an American-educated lawyer who founded Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Action Center" to clear not only Joe Biden but also his son, but when it comes to Trump we need endless investigations which cost the American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars?
To investigate what? That the vice president was doing his job?
Yes but only because there are obvious signs that Trump has obstructed an official investigation here in America, sought assistance from an adversarial foreign government in the 2016 election, and has now openly asked for more from Ukraine and China. And thats just in the top 5 things Trump has done to undermine the American government. Remember, Trump has said believes Putin over our own intelligence community.
