Sen. Klobuchar labels Trump 'global gangster' during CNN Ukraine interview

Yeah, they can't beat Trump at the voting booth and they have nothing to run on from good fundamental policy ideas for America so they want to talk smack and wonder why he fights back saying the things he does.
Klobuchar is a slimy low little do-nothing Democrat with no ideas but say popular things w/the base and maybe get a political point for bad behavior.

Apparently if you wish to combat calls of treason, it helps to back up your clients story with corroborating witnesses.

Crazy concept, huh?

I haven't seen this posted yet, this was from ABC News today, and it concerns this "2nd whistleblower" who has has now spoken with the Inspector General, Michael Atkinson...

"2nd Whistleblower Comes Forward After Speaking With IG: Attorney" By James Gordon Meek and Anne Flaherty of ABC News on October 6, 2019 at 10:54 AM ET

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".

Only Breitbart would try and portray that as being unethical... the attorney for the whistleblower was trying to support his client. Wow.

VOTE!!

No. Just most of what they do, on both sides, is seize more power at the Federal level as supposed to leaving things to the states. Same with the executive branch.

I quoted the wrong post. I meant to quote the guy you were replying to.

I have no problems with the idea of federalism, I just think it’s silly to use “they’re not doing anything” when both sides now campaign on not working across the aisle.

 

[BowlBrother85]

VOTE!!

Why are you in such a hurry for a vote? The impeachment of Bill Clinton was initiated on October 8, 1998 when the United States House of Representatives voted to commence impeachment proceedings. That was a month after Clinton's testimony before Ken Starr had been made public. The actual vote on impeachment in the House did not take place until December 19th... over two months after the impeachment proceedings had begun. The Democrats in the House of Representatives have a right to build a case for impeachment, just as Republicans did in 1998.

Nailed it. I think most rational thinking Americans will agree with this.

Not Only Was 'Waterworld' A Complete Flop, It Was An Utter Disaster During Production

Do not care about Clinton!!! Dems think it is a slam dunk case!! So just vote.

Honestly, the fact that Trump supporters willingly fund his campaign AFTER it's been revealed he bribed a foreign country with YOUR tax money... this pretty much confirms they're idiots.

Grats.

****** Schiff is toast now with his credibility being shot all to hell.

Toast eh? Do tell. Is he under double secret probation now?

 

[BowlBrother85]

In other words, you are a political partisan. You didn't care when Republicans held a prolonged inquiry in 1998, when they had already made up their minds on how they were going to vote. A public inquiry into a President's conduct only bothers you when the President is a Republican.

Ok I agree with that. And what we are dealing with now is the “appearance of impropriety” in which Trump isn’t helping himself as usual for sure. At this point I’m wondering if he’s doing it just to see if he can get any of the lib leadership to pop a blood vessel as nobody in their right mind believes he is going to get removed from office over this. FFS we now have a 2nd IC “whistleblower” consulting with the NYT that they are considering filing a complaint. First off that’s just an IC threat, 2nd even going to the press is a major breach of the whistleblower protocol, and third if this “whistleblower” has given one piece of information to the NYT they’ve likely broken the law and lost all whistleblower protections anyway and the correct title is “leaker”.

It looks like a bad game of stupidity chicken seeing which side can out do the other. But one side is laughing their ass off knowing they are in the position of power and likely trolling while the other has sheer terror and acting from desperation. And on here you will see people talking right past each other on which side is which and I do find that highly entertaining

Trump's just lucky the NCAA isn't officiating things. They'd for sure have nailed him repeatedly for taunting,

I'll be glad when we've seen the last of Trump, but I'm honestly having a real hard time finding him as despicable as most of congress or the rest of the DC political base. I just hope that before his whole act is done that he does some real damage to the status quo in DC, and exposes most of those people for what they really are ... bought, two bit, dime a dozen POSs only in DC to line their own pockets at our expense - that includes both parties BTW.

Have you said ANYTHING NEGATIVE against a DEM?

I chose not to waste my money on ANY lying politicians... which pretty much covers all of em.

Oh, really? What are Republicans going to do about it? Call Schiff some mean names (like Schitt, again)? Democrats have control of the House of Representatives by 38 seats and Adam Schiff is very popular (Schiff won reelection in 2018 with 78.4% of the vote) in a deep blue district (28th) and the biggest and bluest state in the country (California).

This is all empty and meaningless talk. There is NOTHING that Republicans can do.

The supporters aren'tt the ones confirmed to be idiots by this post. Trump never mentioned the aid. He'd already withheld the aid by the time the call happened. Ukraine didn't know it had been withheld for a month.

All your post indicates is that you can't think beyond a talking point.

 

[AM64]

I haven’t seen any evidence of an explicit quid pro quo aside from the “I want you to do is a favor though.” Which, if you want to parse it, wasn’t explicitly tied to the funds.

I do think there’s an implicit quid pro quo, but again, I find nothing inherently wrong with that.

Just trying to remember other recent quid pro quo’s:
Nobody cared that Obama asked things of Iran before giving them that money. There were plenty of people who thought he should have gotten more. Plenty of people who thought he shouldn’t have given them anything. Nobody said “oh but that was a quid pro quo.”

So is this where we get the Thought Police to keep up with intentions and "implicit"s? If we do, I want to make it a retroactive crime so we can look back at the past and have a really good time. Maybe we can dig some people up and hang them instead of accepting this is how it works.

If we aren't into accepting the status quo, then we need a really big cleanup ... particularly on the capitol hill aisle ... there's some really toxic stuff running loose there.
