The left (including the Republican never-Trumpers) has wanted to oust Trump from day 1.  Why?  He hadn't done anything "wrong" yet.  Proof that since then they've only tried to manufacture credible reasons to oust him solely because they don't like him.  And have failed.  And have failed again.  And have failed again.  And have failed again.  Are you guys impervious to pain?

 

Actually, the real reason for attempting to oust Trump is because he can't be bought and has campaigned on draining the swamp.  Those in the swamp are trying to prevent this from happening for obvious reasons.  That's what all of this is about in truth.  Of course this applies to those in the swamp and their political followers are simply fed a narrative which, being not so bright to figure out the truth for themselves, they go all in on.

 

I hope I haven't lost you in the complexity.

 

You think Trump is draining the swamp?  What leads you to believe this?  Is it his secretive finances?  The number of former lobbyists in his administration?  His steering as much government business as possible to Trump properties?  His lobbying for the next G7 meeting to be at a Trump resort?  Or maybe the number of cabinet officials who have left under ethics investigations?

 

Trump hasn't drained the swamp, he's made it his own.

"A lie from President Donald Trump has been crowned “Lie of the Year” for a historic third time.

PolitiFact, a nonprofit U.S. political fact-checking site, announced Monday that the award for 2019 goes to Trump’s claim that the anonymous whistleblower reported his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky “almost completely wrong.” Trump’s conduct and requests on that call are now at the heart of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry."

 

Three years in a row Donny, well done! I'll have to edit your Greatest Achievement list:

Link: Rudy Giuliani Admits Wanting Marie Yovanovitch Fired To Probe Bidens

 

"Rudy Giuliani freely admitted he purposely tried to get former American Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired because he feared she’d get in the way of his attempt to find dirt on Joe Biden.

The former New York City mayor-turned-Donald-Trump-attorney told The New Yorker that he considered Yovanovitch an obstacle to be overcome while he went after the former Vice President.

Giuliani also recruited journalist John Solomon, who has been responsible for many of the Ukraine conspiracy theories being spouted by the right wing, to help smear Yovanovitch to the media."

Didn't call anyone stupid.  It's a stupid thing to claim that bona documents were created out of thin air by the publisher of those documents.  Doesn't mean that the poster is stupid.  But you know that, Becker.  People play stupid at times, too.  Doesn't mean they're stupid.  Just means that they're playing stupid.  It's just another way of saying they're pretending not to know.  Nothing insulting about it.

 

Since when did you become Jingthing's spokesperson?  I hope he thanks you for it.  Feel free to add me to your list if you don't like what I say.  I personally wouldn't add anyone to my ignore list.  I'm not afraid to debate anyone and I don't worry about getting my feelings hurt.  No need for a safe space with cuddly stuffed animals to soothe my triggered feelings.  I control them; they don't control me.

My "ignore" list consist of only one sad and lonely individual that started sending me PMs. That's the only way anyone can end up on that list since it's impossible for any poster to hurt my feelings.

And if a safe space with cuddly animals works for you then go ahead.

Opinionated tripe.  The author is making that up out of whole cloth.  Are you able to distinguish between opinion/fabulization and fact, Becker?  The first part of the statement is fact.  Not so the second part.

 

If Yovanovitch is corrupt, as some evidence seems to suggest, then, duh yeah, she's an obstacle as she's actively working against anti-corruption efforts.  That's a no-brainer there.

 

". . . Ukraine conspiracy theories being spouted by the right wing, . . . "

 

The author of this Yahoo! piece is obviously not an investigative journalist, nor would I consider him even to be a journalist for writing that piece of falsehood.

 

Smearing Yovanovitch?  I doubt she would need any help.

 

Rudy has been invited to present his findings to Graham's Senate committee after the "impeachment" trial.  So, do you seriously think he's bluffing?  Would love to play poker with ya.
