bristolboy perhaps he did do it with Obama's approval.  That just means that Obama was complicit not that Biden was exonerated.  So in all the corrupt world of Ukraine, there was just one prosecutor that was targeted for removal for failure to prosecute corruption.  And, that prosecutor just happened to be investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden.  DOES NOT PASS THE SMELL TEST. 

It was a foreign policy decision not Obama. It was also the similar to policy decision of EU. That contrast sharply with Trump’s decision which now is the centerpiece of the impeachment hearing.

From the Wikepedia page (bolded text is mine):

 

Sworn testimony is evidence given by a witness who has made a commitment to tell the truth. If the witness is later found to have lied whilst bound by the commitment, they can often be charged with the crime of perjury.

 

Nothing's lost on me.  But you people are truly lost.

 

So who's first to continue with the argument that Vindman's testimonial claim is no different than hard truth?

You remind me of a shady character who infamously declared on national TV that “truth is not truth”.

Do you understand that claims made in testimony are not to be taken as actual truth?  Talk about nonsense, Chomper.  You and others are actually trying to argue that Vindman's claims are tantamount to truth.  LOL

It was made under oath. As good as actual truth.

If Trump is an "incompetent idiot" as you say, why is it no one could beat him?  Not Jeb, Ted, Carly, Marco, Chris, or Hillary.  Does that mean they are even more "incompetent idiots"?  ????????????

Didn’t beat the popular vote against Hillary. Probably a one hit wonder. Four years of exposing him as a incompetent idiot and this impeachment will display to the public that he is immensely corrupt. 2020 will be his Waterloo. 

Not at all surprised after all the British empire ended after Hong Kong ceased to be a British colony in 1997. Also the decline of British global power. Just a slow demise inevitably.

Bit like the Democrats used to be all for secure borders and stopping illegal immigration? And now? What a joke.

Like your spirited defiance even when the chips are down and the impeachment noose tightened with each day revelation from WH staffs. Worse to come with Bolton’s hearing. Keep up with your wide eye adoration for the man who will cause long term damage to the Rep Party.

China presses Trump for more tariff roll-backs in 'phase one' trade deal

Brilliant. Xi can afford to play the long game and need not worry about election. Trump can’t. He will grab whatever scraps he can get and call that a win. Typical,

It's one thing to acknowledge that Trump is a lowlife cheat and con artist. It's something else to side with dictators, presidents for life, and serial human rights offenders just to score a cheap point against Trump. However bad Trump is, he is nothing compared to Xi and his concentration camps, who ASEAN praised, the Communist dictators in Laos and Cambodia, the genocidal Burmese, the actual murderer in the Philippines, the Singapore dictator, the Thai military government, and the president for life in Malaysia. That is whose side you're on.

The bad news is that Trump is behaving like a dictator and a wannabee royalty. ????

So what at stake America? Life expectancy is worse off than similar rich nations. The gross inequality of death in America is shocking. Richest Americans live 10-15 years longer than the poorest. Infant mortality is still relatively high. Living in America is increasingly looking like a health risk and it is the fault of the medical health care system or rather a non-comprehensive UHC. Americans should move mountains and accept pains to have a UHC like in Norway or even Singapore and not listen to bickering politicians who only trying to score political points.

Naw dude, Im here in Thailand having a great time, watching my portfolio grow, everyones health is good, we arent shooting too much at other peoples, business is booming, Im selling photos left and right, my kid is a proud hardworking healthy young woman making fat cash and traveling the world,  I slept late today and am finishing my coffee watching the weather while randomly cruising here (I usually avoid these topics because they are soooooooo predictable, Trmp bad, no hes not, you jerk, nyah nyah), reading the news and planning my journeys. I am confident in my own abilities to recognize bs, truth and fiction and have years of criminal defense legal work that gives me a bit more insight into US legal/political issues than some random Euro so in light of all that, truly...

 

Im having a great time ignoring the same old same old. I know whats going to happen and havent been proven wrong yet (well except that Hillary hasnt been indicted but who kknows).  I just like to make my opinion known here and there, its all cool to me, you guys can get all worked up, hell you are going to be worked up for the next 5 years, me Im smiling. The girls in Thermae were not very attractive last night and I had a fabulous Italian meal the night before. Fabulous!

 

 

Your good life is acknowledged and Star Wars Bar is not exactly a place for good looking freelancers. 
 

Just see contradictions that a straight shooter like you would like someone who consistently lie (14,000 so far) and he even has the audacity to throw in any lie in Mississippi today about 100 M trade gain from tariff war with China. 
 

You also is a advocate for truth. Hurrah. We all do. Then why Trump is obstruction justice and preventing state officials from testifying and why his sensitive transcripts  in a special server. If the conservation with the Ukraine President was perfect, why twist yourself into a pretzel to avoid the inquiry. Just tell the truth. 
 

Your criminal defense experience may not be useful because he is not charge with any crime; just abuse of power using taxpayer money and possible violation of the Hobbs Act. As a defense lawyer, you really don’t decry guilt but just how well you defend.

yeah there is a guy who creates the confidence to start a movement.

 

Where did you get it? I mean, the bud? Thats USA stuff you are smoking!

I understand your anguish being a denier and loyalty; it’s a cult phenomenon. Getting to the real world where Trump got booed by even sport fans and even kids refusing his generosity at Halloween must be difficult to accept for you.

Trump will be relected in a landslide.

As the daily trip of bad news for Trump, even the Republican senators are having difficulty of not acknowledging that there is a strong case of quid pro quo. Powerful republicans are also worry that Trump may do unrepairable long term damage to the brand. Scaramucci a faithful republican and one time WH communication director is forming a pack transversing the hardcore red states to try convince the voters to back off nominating Trump in the next election. The dominos are certainly falling fast and also his re-election chances.
