He would pull in the right combination of voters who go for electability and moderate Dems. He would also likely poach away many of Trump’s swing voters

Bloomberg is Biden’s age, and maybe a bit to Joe’s left politically, but he has by far the best business pedigree of any Democratic candidate. Moderates can be comfortable with him. If he was elected POTUS, he’d have the first “First Domestic Partner,” as he’s been living for about 20 years with a woman who was New York State banking commissioner. Also, he’s an honorary Knight of the British Empire. I haven’t heard of any ethical skeletons in his closet, but I’m sure Drumpf’s minions are working on that. He’d also be the first Jewish president. Duh.
The biggest difference between him and Biden is that he isn’t senile

His lawyer objects because you can see where the conversation is going.

Anyway, the understanding I get from his lawyer was that the line of questioning wasn't fair due to the type of setting or at least the original deposition?.
Do you seriously doubt that Trump was leveraging aid in an effort to harm the reputation of a political rival? I mean really. Be honest. To me all you need to do is look at the call summary Trump released. It was obvious.

The lengths to which Trump supporters will go do deny the obvious is amazing.

If people want to say "we don't care" or "that's not enough to impeach him" OK. I disagree but at least that's honest. This crap of trying to argue that he wasn't doing what he obviously was doing is absurd.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth

Sure he is, but Joe opened the door by bragging he got the anti corruption investigator fired.

Now it's all legal and required.

I love how your such a stand up guy over Trump, but willing to turn a blind eye at all the corruption that went on day to day in our government before he got there.

Again...

Shokin wasn't an "anti-corruption investigator."

He was soft on corruption and his firing insured someone tougher on corruption would be put in his place.

You don't think Trump's "reordering" of the US's roles is causing the movement of trillions of dollars?

Stopping the exfiltration of American wealth certainly is affecting someone.

I don't hate Trump and I think he's done some good things as President but I'm under no illusion that he gives a shit about me or people like me. He does what he does to feed his ego.

Byron York breakdown of the Vindman transcript.

tldr; version: Vindman doesn't take issue with the transcript of the phone call that was released, but rather takes issue because of "feels". :lol:

Oh and the "whistleblower" has a gofundme account out. Whoops.
A new complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General alleges that the whistleblower whose allegations touched off House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry may have violated federal law by indirectly soliciting more than a quarter-million dollars from mostly anonymous sources via a GoFundMe page.

All this would have been over a long time ago if he would have just sat down with Mueller and released his taxes just like any other person with nothing to hide. Its almost like he doesn't have nothing to hide.

I've said it here - quid pro quo (this for that) isn't necessarily wrong. Foreign aid SHOULD have conditions.

But they shouldn't be for personal/political gain. :twocents:

Is it only personal/political gain if you're asking to investigate the #1 candidate for one of the two major parties? Wouldn't that be in the interest of the country as a whole to some extent?

If Biden needs to be investigated for something wrong, why isn't the DOJ investigating it? Why ask a foreign government?
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday told reporters he has not asked the Department of Justice to investigate activities by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

Seems to me the DOJ, not Ukraine, should be investigating Biden.
