Trump accuses Democrats of 'attempted coup' on eve of impeachment vote

[Kelsall]

Trump is simply stating the obvious.  This was an attempted coup.  Hopefully the traitors who were part of this will be brought to justice.

 

Trump 2020 is now guaranteed.

Sorry but I had warned again and again since Trump won and the leftist tantrum began, that to win the next election dems must stop the hate and negativity and campaign positively on how to improve Americans lives. They did not stop the unhinged hatred and tantrums, and now you act shocked that there is no "viable opposition"? Just stunning.

Stunned,shocked-not, simply stating the facts.

But by quoting only part of my post it could be made to look that way.

Absolutely, I'm always amazed that the left haven't learned that insulting people who don't share their opinions does not bring them over to your side. It simply makes them double down with even more determination against you.

 

Whether that is Clinton with her "basket of deplorables" speech or the UK equivalent of Remainers constantly telling Leavers that they're stupid, uneducated, racist etc. they never appear to learn.

 

It's actually very amusing.

Latvian government says it flagged ‘suspicious’ Hunter Biden payments in 2016

“The Office for Prevention of Laundering of Proceeds Derived from Criminal Activity … is currently investigating suspicious activity of Burisma Holdings Limited,” the Latvian agency also known as the FIU wrote Ukraine’s financial authorities.

 

Again, the absolute hypocrisy of the Dems.  On the one hand falsely creating a crime out of thin air and on the other hand looking the other way concerning true crime.

 

Tin foil slipping again?

As Trump states in his letter, it was the Dems objective to impeach Trump from Day 1, before Trump could possibly have done anything "wrong."

Actually Trump started his first day by lying to the american people about his attendance being larger than Obamas on inauguration day.  Remember Clinton was impeached for lying.  Now Trump has lied over 5000 times, cant help praising and lying about his accomplishments (or taking credit for others' accomplishments). 

How is that "presidential"? 

Since he is not under oath he can continue his lying and deceit as any charlatan does

Get him now or the election or get him as a citizen; doesn’t matter. Just get rid of this undeserving charlatan out of office and lock him up. He is creating conditions for world leaders to distrust USA and putting world economy into a tailspin.

Yes, having raised over 700 million USD for trumps re-election, the GOP really wants him for another 4 years.  

Democracy is dead, money talks, buys the GOP their district gerrymandering, lobbyists, etc...

 

I still think trump will have his narcissistic bubble collapse before 2021 and the 25th amendment will have to be invoked.  trump is already close to a mental breakdown, 100 tweets a day? truly bizarre and unstable behavior even for him

So a  group of people  disrupt a speech . I notice the majority were  not happy to have it  so. Shiff did  not do a runner. If this  was a Trump occasion the  bully boys would have moved in  big time.

So is this an example  of  free speech or a fascist  shoutdown?

[spidermike007]

Bulletin to the deflector in chief. This is not a coup. This is democracy in action. You committed a felony. You attempted to betray your nation, and showed us that you are one of the least patriotic and least courageous men to ever occupy the office of president. There is nothing illegal about what Congress is doing, however there was plenty illegal about the many crimes you have committed. Men on your watch have already gone to prison. Perhaps, if fate deems it so, you will join them, after you lose the election in November. Bye bye Don Donald.

even if it were true, doesn't mean Trump isn't a crook., he still shouldn't of pressed another government to do his dirty work for him. And for those whining about how he has been marked from day 1, maybe that is because most people can see thru his bluster and bs - the man can't open his mouth without lying

Obviously he didn't write it himself, too many big words, too long for him to maintain that level of focus, but someone else who is close to the edge -- Stephen Miller perhaps?

If Trump was impeached he would be replaced by another Republican ... so hardly a coup. What he did with Ukraine was worse than Nixon. He’s a crook.

 

Only if you believe the Democrats and their media allies version of reality!

 

Not sure any of the witnesses are reliable or have actual evidence they can produce. Rumor, whisper, he said she said, and often by people who openly feel slighted or mistreated by Trump.

 

It now seems the FBI were negligent in many things and are being accused of doctoring witness statements in their investigations into Russian interference and Hilary Clinton.

 

Trump, a crook - not till he's convicted of a crime he's not. 

 

Reality is all of them, Democrats and Republican politicians, are less than truthful. Some more than others. And many have made sure their and their families and offspring's pockets have been well lined thanks to their political office. 

 

Trump probably did coerce the Ukrainians, it seems his nature to bully. And Biden probably did promote his son to a richly rewarded position purely because he was VPOTUS. 

 

The whole American system has become more and more based on nepotism, underhandedness, partisan political judges, law enforcement and media. Trump, being a loose canon, is rocking the rich gravy train which is why the other hate him.

It’s just stringing all those tweets, add in conjunction and punctuation. avoid those obvious gobbledygooks, correct the spellings and eliminate those redundant words. Even DJ Jr or Ivanka will be sufficiently smart enough to do that.

Because left wing politicians are all honest to a fault. Hunter Biden was so well qualified and internationally revered. That's how he got his appointment - 555! Dream on.

Except that there's zero solid evidence that Biden had anything to do with Hunter Biden's position at Burisma.  But if you want to go that route, then Trump probably did let the huge Chinese corporation ZTE survive in exchange for Ivanka getting lots of trademarks granted in record time. That would be an impeachable offense. Or that he eased up on the Qataris in exchange for them bailing Jared Kushner out of his disastrous real estate investment at 666 Fifth Ave on sweetheart terms.

Your links crack me up. Did you read it all, it was rather long, after all? anyway, this one confirms that it’s all a conspiracy theory with no evidence... already debunked... or in common parlance.... it’s BS.... which is what american intelligence agencies maintain.

 

The latvian agency known as the FIU WROTE....followed by;

“Latvian authorities said they did not get any incriminating information back from Ukraine to warrant further investigation and did not take additional action in 2016.”

 

Hunter Biden joined Burisma on mid 2014.... the suspect payments seem to have stopped being made shortly after his appointment... what?... did hunter put a stop to corruption? ;

The Latvian law enforcement memo identified a series of loan payments totaling about $16.6 million that were routed from companies in Beliz and the United Kingdom to Burisma through Ukraine’s PrivatBank between 2012 and 2015.

 

But why did Latvia get involved?;

Arturs Saburovs, the Third Secretary at the Latvian embassy in Washington, confirmed his country flagged the transactions in February 2016 after seeing public reports that Burisma was under investigation in Ukraine and that Hunter Biden served on the company’s board

 

so.... nothing new whatsoever... the investigations were ongoing elsewhere. And Latvia had a look too, investigating the above publicly reported transactions.... but;

Saburovs said authorities in his country could find no evidence they flagged the same transactions to U.S. authorities even though Hunter Biden and two others named in the letter were Americans and the U.S. firm, Rosemont Seneca Bohais that was connected to Hunter Biden, routinely received monthly payments totaling more than $166,600 from Burisma.

 

And;

We do not possess such information,” he said when asked about contacts with U.S. officials.

 

but hey... John Solomon is the author of this rubbish you linked the forum too. Right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Solomon_(political_commentator)

During Donald Trump’s presidency, he has been known for advancing Trump-friendly stories. He played a role in advancing conspiracy theories about wrongdoing involving Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and Ukraine; Solomon's stories about the Bidens influenced Trump to request that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launch an investigation into the elder Biden, which led to an impeachment inquiry.^[2]

Hunter biden is not a politician. A company can employ anyone for any reason.

 

At the other end of the dodgy spectrum is ivanka and jared.

He's squealing like a stuck pig, because he knows things are crumbling around him. For weeks and weeks, he said how he looked forward to the trial in the Senate. Yessiree, he would show everybody then. Wait until he brought out his own witnesses. He was going to destroy the opposition. Now, that it's on the brink of happening, he is howling like a banshee, doing anything to stop it.  Disgraceful human being.

John Solomon, lol. I see that your claim has already been debunked by other poster so I will comment only on the second part of your post.

 

You continuously complain the Dems are looking the other way, but it's not their role to look this way. This is Trump's impeachment and the ridiculously alledged crimes by the Bidens are not in the scope of their investigation.

 

In case you had not noticed, it's the Republicans who are controling the DOJ, and the DOJ has not started any investigation. So it's the Republicans who are looking the other way. Any idea why? ????
