   Kids report Trump was highly entertaining, and the reprobates fairly tame. Birds were flying everywhere.

   Acquaintances reported a emotional atmosphere with some 20k inside and 25k outside watching on a Jumbo-tron. Lots of kids and minorities in the mix. Everyone was very supportive of the police.

   These guys had fun too.

   When your former personal attorney is in jail and your present personal attorney might be, what does that say about you, as the client?

   We need some sociologists to study the Trump campaign-to-prison pipeline.

   Swiftee, I didn’t realize the snowflakes who blame the government for all of their problems went to college new.

   Perhaps the Prez should go back, though, as he keeps losing in court

   https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/11/politics/trump-mazars-appeal-decision/index.html

   It’s funny to hear an unindicted co-conspirator complain about (Birther conspiracy) unproven, unsupported allegations against his political opposition. It’s even funnier to hear someone who betrays our allies, pays pros for sex, lies about it and attempts to cover it up, complain about a opponents son’s drug abuse and make fun of it. Hard to imagine just how hard it was for the Biden family to lose mom and son. I don’t excuse criminal conduct, but who among us haven’t abused alchohol on a bad day? Even more, outside scum like Swiftee, who among us advocate bringing people’s family into the debate? So, if you call the atmosphere “fun”, we have a pretty different definition. Our President needs to make points by vulgarity, by attacking people’s families, and by breaking our solemn promises to those who fought beside us. SAD!

   Let’s keep up the good news..

   https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fact-checking-trumps-accusations-ukraine-whistleblower-bidens/story?id=66194699&cid=clicksource_4380645_null_hero_related

   Read the article carefully. Hunter Biden didn’t get $1.5B from China, he sought funding. Ultimately, he holds a $420k stake in a company. No evidence he pocketed anything.

   Same thing about alleging the ‘deal was scored” right after he flew to Beijing, no, the deal was signed months earlier, the license was issued just after.

   Biden probably wasn’t qualified to sit on the Urkranian gas company’s board (that’s the LIB admitting to facts boys, give it a try), but neither was Betsy DeVos qualified to be Ed Secretary, or Ivanka or Jarred to act as White House senior advisors, or any of the Trump family to act as senior officers in Trump Co. Nepotism happens, even obliquely, because people who do the hiring think they’ll get access, or want to help their kids. Trump certainly engages in putting political friends who are barely (if at all) qualified in positions. There’s NO evidence Hunter Biden benefited from Joe’s actions to remove a roundly denounced prosecutor, even had he benefited, the fact remains that prosecutor was WIDELY known as being corrupt and so Biden’s actions were appropriate, whatever the impact. You could argue Biden should have recused himself, but unless you can show Hunter would benefit, and many say the opposite was true, why would Biden do so? Further, if you believe in recusal, I’m curious how you don’t think Clarence Thomas should recuse himself on gun rights cases.

   The ambassador to Ukraine was not seen as standing in the way of prosecutions, that’s a fabrication by the WH

   The whistleblower may have been a Democrat, but his accusations were deemed credible by an independent review and his comments were, in part, first hand, not second hand.

   The point is, you guys search for reasons to deny facts, I think you KNOW how corrupt Trump is, how disgusting he is, but you can’t accept you may have backed a bad hand. All politics aside, Trump is having a terrible and damaging impact on the future of democracy in America. He lies without relent, he obstructs lawful investigations, he uses his office to engage in punitive acts against foes, he threatens those who seek to tell the truth. And yet, you appear not to care. And THAT is the part that is so appalling.

    What? “I know you are but what am I?” LmAO, @ you witless buffoon!

    What is it with these 1/4 wits? Why do the leftist reprobates that use their ability to comment here to spew nothing but inchoate twaddle, apropos of nothing? Is this the crap Peevee and Dunning_Kruger have floating around in the vacuum between their ears all the time, or is it the best their minimal IQ’s can manage to google up on the fly?

    I got news for you Peevee. The leftist scumbags in the US House won’t take a vote on starting an impeachment inquiry before the election…know why? Because that will allow Trump’s attorneys (who now include my former Rep. Trey Gowdy) to subpoena your hero’s, starting with Biden & his dimwit son, to give depositions under oath.

    They’re putting on a show for you goofs; nothing more.

    That’s why Trump is dragging Schiff et. al. around by the scruff of their scrawny necks, daring them to take the vote and start a formal inquiry. He’s laughing at them, and we’re laughing at you!

    I watched a few minutes on television. Take the politics and ideals out of it for a moment — I’ve never seen a leader of any kind (politics, business, etc) speak so poorly.

    His sentence structure, grammar and ability to tell compelling stories is mind-boggling bad.

    It’s shocking he’s succeeded at anything in life.

16. Swiftee Pinochet Says:

    Dunning_Kruger, you may notice I referenced Trey Gowdy in my blistering smackdown of Peevee. He was my US Rep., and a damn good one. But he declined to run again for a seat that was his for the asking…know why?

    He felt that being around leftists soiled him. He didn’t want to waste anymore of his valuable time trying to work with witless, America hating, leftist assholes, so he quit.

    That’s exactly why I don’t ever “argue” seriously with leftist nitwits like you and Peevee; it’s beneath me. You are fit for nothing but mockery and the back of my rhetorical hand. And you’re too stupid to see it, so you keep coming back for more.

    Now, I’m no expert like Emery or whoever wrote this bit above, but I was taught that using an adjective, “mind-boggling”, to act as intensifier of another adjective, “bad”, is the job of an adverb, “mind-bogglingly”. Also, “His sentence structure” seems vague; using a noun as an adjective will do that. And so, I wonder, all sentence structures? Just one? Or perhaps it would better written as “The way he structures sentences”. Like I say, I’m no expert…

    I like the slam “neither was DeVos qualified for the DoED.” Well, perhaps not qualified by liberal standards, but at least she’s figured out that if Title IX investigations are going to have lifelong implications, then you need to have some legal protections. I’ll admit that her contribution is merely “taking notes when two circuit courts struck down decisions made without cross examination”, but that’s a whole lot more than John King or Arne Duncan could do. Duncan’s other “qualification” is, of course, heading a school district with a majestic 6th grade reading level at graduation, and one where 40% of students don’t graduate at all.

    Regarding Hunter Biden, he’s not just unqualified, but is also an addict whose jobs seem to have followed his father’s political career rather closely. It’s a case of self-dealing that, yes, ought to be investigated.

    And the whistleblower? Oh, just ignore that he’s closely associated with a Democratic Presidential candidate, that the IG changed policy just at the time this one came through, that it’s all based on hearsay that should never have occurred in a well run CIA office (“need to know” is the rule), and that it differs from the call transcript in several crucial points. Nothing to see there, boys.

    Come on, Peevee, you can do better than this.

    There is a whole lot more of this going on than we think. It’s SOP in Washington, and in state governments, too. An “Operation Varsity Blues” in DC would snag an awful lot pols (of both parties) and journalists. It’s faux elites, all the way down.

    JD,

    You have a great point about man child cry baby Frey’s hate message.

    I have 3 friends whose teenagers and wives had tickets for the rally, but in the end, we’re scared that Antifa goons would cause trouble, so they stayed home. My friends gave the tickets to others that wanted but couldn’t get them. Of course, I’m sure that they also didn’t expect that DemonRat state representative Gomez would be there causing trouble and harassing people, too.

28. Mammuthus Primigenius Says:

    The 2016 em candidate, Hillary Clinton, got oppo research on her opponent, Trump, from foreign intelligence sources, including (at least) the Brits and the Russkis. She then handed off that intelligence to the FBI through Associate Director of the JD Bruce Ohr. The FBI then began a clandestine investigation into the Trump campaign.
    The oppo research was then found to be a load of malarkey. It’s poor sourcing was apparently concealed from the people who signed the warrants to wiretap Trump campaign officials.
    No one doubts this. It’s all down in black and white, in released documents and transcripts of testimony.
    But now the Dems say that Trump inviting, publicly, the Ukrainians and the Chinese to check out Biden for corruption is a crime that merits impeachment.
    No sale.

    All week, Facebook has taken heat for refusing to take down a false ad run by Trump’s reelection campaign about former Vice President Joe Biden, a frontrunner in the 2020 race. In the 30-second ad, the Trump campaign accuses Biden of promising Ukraine $1 billion if its government fired the prosecutor investigating his son, Hunter Biden, who was on the board of a company in the country.

    What’s a “false ad”? Is it like one of those saturday night live parody ads?

33. Mammuthus Primigenius Says:
    October 13th, 2019 at 12:30 am

    The Biden thing is interesting because it exemplifies “the swamp.”
    It is difficult to separate the business dealings of Biden senior and the business dealings of his son, and the foreign policy responsibilities of Biden senior. It is also difficult to determine what peculiar genius either father or son has that has allowed them to make millions, always working in areas influenced by the actions he is supposed to take in the interests of the American people.
    Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nations in the world. At the time Biden worked for Burisma, it’s president had fled the country rather than face corruption charges. Biden senior gets very upset whenever anyone mentions this; he has demanded that journalists and media companies not cover this story.
    Reasonable people want to get to the bottom of this.

34. Emery Says:
    October 13th, 2019 at 10:01 am

    The irony is the children of senior politicians on both sides of the aisle have been leveraging their family name and connections for decades if not centuries. Some of the most egregious behavior has been the children of Trump. What about Ivanka’s interests in China?

    It’s amazing to me that people will use this as a reason that Trump should not be impeached. There’s a much simpler solution: they’re both bad and neither should be involved in the government of the US.

    But, if the issue here is about having someone stupid, unable, who owns everything he ever achieved to his family and connections, well, Trump is also a great example, perpetuating the family tradition by appointing his own family to jobs and responsibilities they would never ever should have accessed. So the irony of blaming only the Bidens is savory. If nepotism is the issue, then you should revoke a huge portion of the world political and financial leaders (and that wouldn’t be a bad idea).

    Trump’s quid pro quos are clearly unlawful in themselves and — need it even be said yet again — the Trump family’s failure to divest — while actually purporting to work in government — is far more egregious than anything Hunter Biden might be accused of.

    But of course hypocrisy comes with the territory where Trump’s enablers is concerned.

35. Mammuthus Primigenius Says:

    “Some of the most egregious behavior has been the children of Trump.”
    Compared to the Kennedys?
    You can’t be serious. Trump and his kids were all rich before he ran for office. You can’t say that about the Obamas or the Clintons. Biden’s grifting is not an anomaly, it is SOP in DC.

36. Emery Says:
    October 13th, 2019 at 8:39 pm

    If I have this straight, the son of a presidential candidate is resigning from the board of a foreign company while the actual president continues to have multiple foreign business ventures and his children actively do business overseas.

    The president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner needed a bailout from Qatar because he bet his family fortune on the aptly named 666 Fifth Avenue. The Chinese almost bailed him out a few years back, but Kushner had to wait two long years for his next rent check in the form of the Qataris via Brookfield.

    Before Jared married Ivanka, his only claim to fame was that his father had demonstrably bribed Harvard to get him and his brother admitted, another testament to the incompetence of the elder Kushner both in business and crime. The White House is truly run by third-rate grifters.

    Emery, if Trump’s alleged quid pro quos are illegal, perhaps you can cite the law for us? Reality is that diplomacy is always about quid pro quo; you do this for us, we’ll do that for you. So if you outright banned that, you’d infringe on the Presidential power of conducting diplomacy.

41. Emery Says:
    October 14th, 2019 at 10:25 am

    There are no longer questions whether Trump withheld US taxpayer dollars pressuring a foreign government to conduct an investigation of a political rival in a presidential election that personally benefited Trump. He’s already proved it and admitted it.

    The only remaining questions to be investigated and decided in the impeachment process are whether Trump directed others to cover up his misconduct and whether Trump’s misconduct meets the Constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanors to impeach a sitting president and remove him from office. 

    These decisions are now solely up to Congress. The amount of partisan trolling in the media trying to distract attention from Trump’s misconduct actually only confirms that Trump’s partisans know and fear his misconduct is criminal and justifies removing him from office.

42. Mammuthus Primigenius Says:
    October 14th, 2019 at 11:46 am

    Emery, you have to prove state of mind.
    When Obama’s JD started investigating Trump in 2016, did they do so to benefit Hillary’s campaign, or did they do so to foil foreign attempt to influence US elections?

    Anyhow, you have been screaming “crisis!” every frikkin’ day for the last three years. That crisis has yet to materialize. We have fewer wars, the stock market is sky-high, and unemployment is way low. A few months ago your crisis du jour was Trump causing a recession with his China trade war, and that crisis has disappeared like the Russian Collusion crisis, the nuking hurricanes crisis, and missing 7th fleet crisis (remember that oldie).

    Woolly: Trump’s (attorney) AG Barr and Giuliani have been attempting to corroborate far-right-wing conspiracy theories against the Trump in the Russian probe.

    Barr is likely only doing this to help Trump in his campaign. Barr won’t find anything, because if there was something to find the Senate and House committees would have found it in 2017 and 2018 when Republicans had complete control. It sure wasn’t for lack of trying. (Remember when Nunes snuck over to the White House to pick up an accusation Trump wanted “uncovered” and then made a big show of “releasing” his information right back to the White House? Too bad he was seen pulling this amateurish stunt.)

    If there was anything to this idea that it was all the investigators, the Republicans would have found it 2 years ago. 

    Barr knows this. 

    But Barr also knows that you can run an “investigation” indefinitely. This isn’t being done for anything real. It is being done to try to undermine the FBI and the CIA.

    I never thought I would defend those two institutions, goodness knows they are not perfect and the CIA isn’t even that good. But we need an independent law enforcement body not subject to political whim.

    We also need an agency that collects the facts about countries as best as they can be known, and tries to unlock the things other countries try to hide from us, and then it needs to be able to tell the President what it finds even if the President doesn’t like the truth.
