: Trump administration violated the law by withholding Ukraine security assistance, nonpartisan congressional watchdog finds

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/tr...tability-office-n1117031?cid=eml_nbn_20200116


Let's face it ......the laws apply only to democrats ............... Trump's Rep........can do as they wish........and "justify" it later. It is astonishing. Two parties........two sets of legal perimeters. One being very selectively legal as it suits them.
Money was delivered with the legal time limit.

Can you IMAGINE if Trump was a Democrat amid this whole circus, how the Republicans would be reacting?
Oh yes, I cn. I can imagine the verbal savagery that would be taking place. Heck........He would not have been elected............as the questionable influence from Russia would have tainted the election........and disqualified him..........going to the Republican candidate. .

It kinda says a lot about the state of the USG............

Trump would love to take a page from Putin and remain in power, oh I shudder at the thought...

And yep, no one mentions the national debt when hailing Trump, a debt he promised to erase when he ran, a debt that breaks down to $70,403 dollars owed for each person who lives in the USA.


I owe twice that much and the bank is still willing to lend me more...………..a lot more! I don't see a problem. :) Can't afford not to with an interest rate of 2.84% :)

Barr knew, Nunes knew.... they all knew. Sadly he likely will get off because as you said not one Republicans has the balls or lady balls to step up and say enough.
They are too busy protecting Trump and themselves to even provide a professional and fair trial................even after swearing on the bible to be fair , objective etc. The fact is that they are terrified of Trump and how he reacts when anyone goes against him.

If Trump has that much psychological power over them and those around him..........then the USG cannot bee or do what it is supposed to do......... and it speaks to the authoritarian style of leadership that already exists in the US


It is not just Trump that is on trial...........the senate is as well..........and the world is watching. Reality is that if Trump gets away with this....the world will know what it is dealingweith.......as the US is no longer the law abiding democracy it claims to be.

Don't waste your breath. Moosie will just ignore the existence of the documentary evidence.
Just like when he swallowed the lie that Donny Dodger's tax cuts would pay for themselves. Then when the budget projections came in at trillion-dollar deficits, he said "those are just projections. Hasn't happened yet." Then since it did happen, he doesn't say anything at all.
Mexico paying for the wall? Cheers, followed by silence.
The best, cheapest health care in the world? Cheers, followed by silence.
Such is the alleged mind of a Trumplicker.

He's been discredited a few times, see Devon Nunes CNN lawsuit.

I don't get it, in the face facts mean nothing.... I just don't get it.
It's called "the cult of personality." Somebody manages to grab onto the Zeitgeist and runs with it. He acknowledges and validates the fears of the most fearful half of the population, and gives them an object upon which to focus their hate.
Hitler and the Jews. George Wallace and blacks. Cromwell and Catholics.
Pathologically needy, terrified people will deny facts before their eyes and reasoning a five-year-old could master as long as the Dear Leader tells them they're wonderful, and the reason they're not kings of the world is because of the treachery of THAT identifiable group ("Mexicans takin' our jobs!") and the evil, perfidious traitors who enable them (Jews, liberals, educated people, whatever).
It's not even about intelligence. It's about emotional needs and chronic insecurity.
Religion works the same way.
Spot on summation, well done.
It's the difference between a conservative and a right-wing nutcase.
And to be fair, left-wing nutcases are just as bad, just as irrational, and just as needy.
The hope and enthusiasm of liberals and caution and realization that things are pretty good now of conservatives can work together to produce sound, well-considered progress. But it gets derailed, time and again, buy demagogues either promising to take people back to a past that never existed, or forward to a future that never will.

So the 2 of you know me that well, interesting
