Scott Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 1 hour ago, Tippaporn said: It's silly to ask posters to provide links to information that any poster could easily obtain themselves, especially a fact which is overwhelmingly common knowledge. And it's completely dishonest to make the accusation that because the poster didn't provide a link to the information that it's "made-up nonsense." I've tried many, many times to point out and explain in detail the many deceitful tactics posters use to discredit, and then disparage as well, other posters. I want posters to understand the tricks which are employed against them. It is NOT silly to ask for a factual bit of information to be substantiated. I did Google it and could find nothing to support your contention. So please provide a link. We do not permit the deliberate posting of misinformation.

Delay, deny and deflect. (I do think some posters here deserve a bit of a pass as they are translating from Russian so posts often seem strange.) At this point no one is defending the president's many criminal actions, that genuis has bolted the stable. Now all they can do is is defend on process. If the glove fits... The American public is generally intelligent, and can sense when someone is acting guilty. I mean, many of us have children, so recognize the various excuses used. The president is acting "guilty" by behaving like a third-grader (I didn't do it. Everyone does it. OK, I did it but it's not that bad. Rick did it.). Obviously releasing and/all information, and allowing witnesses to testify, would be the best thing for an innocent person to do. That the president - true, he is the only one saying that the "call was perfect" - is doing very little to defend against the charges, is telling.

That's in the constitution. As far as minority party subpoena powers, so sorry, that was in the old rules before the REPUBLICANS changed them! So cry me a river on that one. Very short sighted of them. The "legal" letter was not a legal letter. It was a political letter basically saying that in the U.S. system the president is not subject to congressional oversight. That's ultimately what this is going to be about. Do Americans want to give presidents now and in the future full dictator powers or will we continue respect the founders design -- that CONGRESS is a coequal power with the executive. If we end up with presidents having dictator powers, say ba-bye to American democracy. REAL conservatives, REAL republicans don't want to have presidents have dictator powers. Would they want Elizabeth Warren to have dictator powers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"legal letter". Yeah, right. This letter isn't worth the paper it's written on. It offers only the most fleeting and spurious legal opinion - It's mainly one long whiney Trump-like tweet. Invoking a 1950's case, Watkins vs. United States, which is not even close to this situation, and is thus a joke.

Several points... Joe Biden is not the President Joe Biden is not the subject of an impeachment inquiry Joe Biden was fulfilling his duties as VP, in full view, with the backing of the U.S. and many, many partners, in getting corrupt prosecutor removed. This "story" has been fully debunked. Joe Biden used his position lawfully. Trump appears to have acted illegally, for his own personal benefit. That said, I'm sure that the president will cooperate with the investigation as he did nothing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
