I never knew you were so dedicated to the independence and sovereignty of Ukraine. I bet you had a cow when Obama refused to send arms to Kiev.
So why was Trump withholding aid?
Oh, that's right. He was waiting for them to announce investigations into his political opponent. Tell me again how investigating Biden is critical to the national security and is in the national interest. So far, I dont know the answer.
Also, saying they eventually got it as an excuse to withhold is BS.

Well, if it's in the national interest to investigate them, that's what the Deep State is for.BDKJMU wrote: If someone had a good chance at becoming president, would it be in the national interest to investigate prior alleged corruption by that individual with another country?
If it's not in the national interest, your shady personal attorney handles it.
If you have trouble separating the two and your consigliere meddles in foreign policy to benefit you personally... YOU get investigated for corruption.

Trump has a good chance at becoming President. It's in the national interest to investigate him prior to the election for alleged corruption with another country.BDKJMU wrote:If someone had a good chance at becoming president, would it be in the national interest to investigate prior alleged corruption by that individual with another country?

I caught Trip's satire and agree with it. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of the Donks who want to focus on Trump and say that Biden should be a separate investigation (that won't happen) thus the "investigate the whole lot of them."kalm wrote:I assume you caught Trip’s satire here?UNI88 wrote:

Re: Impeach Trump!
Not at all. I think Trump is full of sh!t. It's just interesting how indignant the Donks are about Trump's activities in the Ukraine while glossing over Biden's or Hillary's ethical lapses (e-mail server, Foundation, etc.). The Conks are the opposite in glossing over Trump's and getting indignant about others. They're all self-righteous hypocrites.kalm wrote:Interesting.

I don't think that what Trump did is significantly worse than things that Biden, Obama, either Clinton and others have done. Was it ethically wrong? Yes. Is it impeachable? Probably not by today's standards. I have no problem tightening up the standards but they have to apply to every slimeball in Washington, not just Trump.
Ukraine is just an excuse. This is all just an excuse to get Trump because he stole the 2016 election. He didn't win the popular vote. He shouldn't be POTUS. He's a reprehensible deplorable and he needs to go! Our system is broken. We need to get rid of the Electoral College. We need to get rid of the Senate. We need to get rid of anything that isn't controlled by progressive liberals who understand what is best for the country.

Re: Impeach Trump!
The Dem party has officially gone off the deep end."If abuse of power is not impeachable ... Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war," Schiff said. "Because those things are not necessarily criminal, this argument would allow that he could not be impeached for such abuses of power. Of course, this would be absurd. More than absurd, it would be dangerous."
