Well then, you're admitting that you believe President Zelensky was lying.  You won't believe he spoke the truth in all of the interviews he gave to all of the press agencies.

 

Well, to put it another way, since it's not a question that you want to see Trump impeached and removed from office then you cannot, cannot believe President Zelensky spoke the truth.  Because to do so you would then no longer be able to argue for impeachment.  Do you understand that you are prohibited, due to your single focus for impeachment, to argue fairly or objectively?

 

This is why I posted earlier:

 

To slightly rephrase an Upton Sinclair quote:  "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary bias and political leanings depends upon his not understanding it."

 

Do you understand the truth of that statement, bristolboy?  I sure do.  And so do a whole lot of other people on these threads.

 

And since the truth is opposite your desire then by hook or crook you will lie, cheat or steal or do anything else that is required to squash the truth.  This is how deranged the left is.  They are willing to destroy America as long as they can get Trump.

 

Everyone knows it, bristolboy.  It's not a secret.  It's all out in the open.

 

 

Talk about motivated reasoning. Wouldn't those same considerations apply to someone who believed Zelensky told the truth? And of course that only works as a question in isolation from reality. In reality, everyone knows how vindictive and prone to rash actions Trump is. So it takes a huge amount of disingenousness to ignore that. Those of us like Zelensky who live in the real world know what Trump is like. Not only vindictive and subject to rash actions, but also someone who has a great deal of faith in Vladimir Putin. Remember when he took Putin's word that Russia was not surreptitiously and massively involved in the runup to the US elections? Has Trump ever said a harsh word about the massively corrupt kleptocratic Putin? Whereas he's said many harsh things about Western European leaders. What rational person who desperately needs US support would say something that is overwhelmingly likely - let's face it, a sure bet - to antagonize Trump and endanger his nation? A nation that has lost 13,000 people to Russian soldiers and their allies? 

It's clear you need a refresher so here's the definition of disingenuous:

not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

unless of course, you don't actually know that Trump is vindictive or that he's a big fan of Vladimir Putin.

Opposition lawyers discredit hostile witnesses all the time.

Trump just pointed out her unimpressive record...how's this intimidation?

If anything it should cause her to be more determined to get him.

 

 

Her unimpressive record?

She actually helped dislodge corrupt officials from the Ukrainian national gas company. it used to be a drain on the government. Now it's contributing 15% of total government revenues.

As for his moronic assertion that the situation in Somalia was somehow partly her fault, it shows to show how bizarrely ignorant Trump is.

Just when one thought things couldn't get worse for the president...

 

LA GOP Governor candidate Rispone loses...the president went to LA three times in the last five weeks.

 

the president visited Walter Reed Hospital, for what appears to be an unplanned visit. We're told he had a "down day" and wanted to get a jump on his annual physical.

 

 

 

What's the over/under on Sondland getting Immunity or Taking the Fifth?

Oh and whilst we are are on the subject of berating witnesses, please keep in mind that John Eisenberg, legal adviser to the National Security Council, his deputy, Michael Ellis, Robert Blair, a top aide to acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, Mick Mulvaney himself and Brian McCormack, an aide at the White House Office of Management and Budget (who previously worked for Energy Secretary Rick Perry) have all refused congressional subpoenas to impear at the impeachment hearings. This is on top of the scores of other Trump acolytes who have refused to appear at the hearings.

For someone with nothing to hide, Trumps doing a pretty damning job of hiding everyone who has first hand knowledge of all these conversations. Now I wonder why that could be? 

Yes, let's hear their defense and let's get this mess over with.  What is the rationale for blocking their testimony?

The only way this makes sense is if you completely ignore the events preceding Trumps election, which I admit would be a favorable point of view for the left to have because it absolves them of any blame, but it would be a false position to have. Politics in the USA has been in a steady decline for over a decade.

Ever since Americans elected that damned Kenyan muslim socialist. Just lucky for the USA that Trump led the birther investigation. Or the truth would never have come out.

The guy who pleaded no contest to fraud charges and paid out 25 million is a fighter against corruption?

The guy who used his own charity to pay his private expenses and paid a 2 million dollar fine for it is a fighter against corruption?

Not to mention his friend Parnas....

"Prosecutors allege Parnas and Fruman illegally funded Republican politicians and campaigns with money from foreign nationals. Prosecutors also say the pair funneled $325,000 into Trump's flagship super PAC, America First Action......"

You should start a new thread to gloat about this sideshow development that has nothing to do with this

topic, which is about something entirely different.

 

Anyway, Bel Edwards was narrowly favored to win before voting commenced...so hardly an upset ...or a repudiation of Trump, as you're rather desperately trying to suggest.

My response:  Yawn.

 

Listen johnny, I'm happy that you have your hopes up.  The higher you get them the more painful the landing will be.

 

All in all you are eager to believe any 2nd, 3rd, 4th hand witness testimony to be absolute truth.  Well, as long as it fits your narrative.  Never question it or the anomalies (Yovanovitch has been caught lying).  President Zelensky's testimony?  A guy with 1st hand knowledge and the subject of the quid pro quo.  Nah, he's lying.  Place your bets as you see fit.

 

My bet is still the same.  I stand by my post.

So any 2nd, 3rd, 4th witness testimony can't reflect the truth… that's what you think…. then how come that 1rst witnesses such as M. Cohen, R. Stone etc...were caught lying under oath to protect Trump - as they argued… or do they  just all have poor recollection? Not mentioning Trump himself, LOL, his lawyers won't let him get interviewed…

You guys never disappoint.  Totally reliable.  And punctual.  I wish my watch worked as well.

 

Can't argue with the information then attack the source.  Same as it ever was.

We can certainly argue the information especially because of the source. Post verifiable facts from legitimate sources and not your usual conspiracy nonsense and you might have a chance to be taken seriously. Why don’t you get that? And please don’t come back with some nonsense about us not opening our minds to “different” sources. That would be a “yawn”.
