Re: Trump Presidency

I'm not sure how Congress inserting some BS clause into their resolution justifies the President asserting executive privilege unless he were otherwise entitled to do so?

Re: Trump Presidency

Executive Privilege. How about the fact that three chiefs of staff under President Clinton were subpoenaed by the Republican Congress during the Clinton impeachment, and all showed up to testify? https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/469595-mulvaney-defies-house-subpoena-cites-absolute-immuni...

Re: Democrat bench for 2020

Bloomberg may have to throw his hat in to save his party according to his view. NY Billionaire vs Fla Billionaire. More like NY Billionaire vs NY Billionaire that moved to escape high taxation. A very in-your-face demonstration about how you can vote with your feet as well as at the ballot box. I t...

He's probably a better candidate than anybody else in the Democratic field. It would certainly make for a more interesting race than Trump vs Biden or Trump vs Warren.

maybe you can post a link to that? he never says that there is a quid pro quo nor does he provide any evidence of a quid pro quo...there's nothing material in his revised testimony... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/05/us/politics/impeachment-trump.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);re...

Re: Trump Presidency

anyone else remember Lindsey Graham two weeks ago saying "If you could show me that, you know, Trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo, outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing. There are quite a few Trump supporters who are going to have to backtrack from that type of state...

Re: Wait what? Did Trump just end the Syrian Civil war???

Not really, no. I still think POTUS is responsible for how he conducts the withdrawal of our forces, though.

Well if they had one, it sucked, because the shooting started as soon as they left. In fact, while they were leaving.

Re: Trump Presidency

This is where we're at that POTUS is asserting congressional testimony is retrospectively doctored ... and it's normal POTUS rhetoric that's largely ignored. Except by his followers. They will just believe him, and even if the transcripts contain damning evidence, they'll claim the witnesses aren't...

Re: Trump Presidency

The idea that Schiff can release official transcripts that are "doctored" but Republicans would somehow get in trouble for releasing correct and complete versions is really a bit hard for me to buy into. Even if you buy into that idea though, why couldn't Republicans just leak the transcri...

The latter would be a bombshell, but I'll wait to see what comes of it ... too much noise these days. Maybe this explains how cock sure Pelosi is all of a sudden. It does sound pretty far-fetched, but we'll see what shakes out. Things are about to get really ugly in Washington now that these impeac...

Re: Wait what? Did Trump just end the Syrian Civil war???

And how many of that "whole bunch of people" that lost their lives were American soldiers? Thanks to our president the answer is none. Because he's smart enough to realize its not in our interest to get involved in another internecine, tribal war that's been going on for centuries. He'd t...
