Why Is The GOP Senate So Afraid To Call Witnesses??

[Faun]

You're not to be taken seriously. Trump, Rudy, and Mulvaney all admitted it was a quid pro quo in broad daylight. Sondland admitted that it was a quid pro quo. Trump has openly said he'd illegally take dirt from a foreign government in a heartbeat. He even asked China to investigate the Bidens.

Sensitive my ass. Only in the sense that it exposed this president's criminality. And again, THERE WAS NO "TRANSCRIPT".

Zelensky said he wasn't pressured in the slightest.

Are you suggesting that the Ukrainian leader is a liar?

Would the libs be willing to get behind Putin and attack Ukraine? Will the Democrats promise to eliminate aid to Ukraine, if Zelensky refuses to back their narrative?

"Zelensky said he wasn't pressured in the slightest."

Yes, because people typically admit they take bribes.

Bribe = pressure? Not usually. Bribe = temptation, yes. Pressure = extortion, yes, as we saw from Crazy Uncle Joe. Now THAT'S pressure.

Zelensky expressed interest in buying missiles from us and Trump asked for favors. That's a bribe.

It's called negotiating...something that EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENT SINCE GEORGE WASHINGTON HAS DONE!!! DUH?

LOL

And by "negotiating," you mean withholding financial aid to get him to investigate a political rival.

Will the Democrat Party negotiate with Zelensky and get his testimony to match their narrative, by withholding financial aid when they get back in?

What do you call a trial where none of the witnesses called by the prosecution had first hand knowledge of what happened? The only people who did are Trump...who released the transcript of the call...and the President of the Ukraine who has steadfastly denied there was any quid pro quo in play!

Answer? A trial that the judge would throw out for lack of evidence before it even went to trial!

Where do you Trumpublicans (I'd call ya conservatives but ya ain't) get your news anyway? There were SEVERAL witnesses who were on these calls and smack-dab in the middle of Rudy and Donald's "drug deal".

It should also be noted that Donnie didn't release a "transcript" - We got the Billy Barr SUMMARY which stated right up top that it wasn't a verbatim transcript. It was full of ellipses (dot dot dot) ... meaning paragraphs were cut short. The "transcript" got worm-holed away on a super-secret server.

Learn something .. at SOME point - PLEASE

Items were redacted from the transcript as they almost always ARE when sensitive topics are being discussed between nations and leaders. What's telling about the transcript is that it contradicts what Adam Schiff was claiming took place during the phone call and backs up both President Trump and the Ukrainian President's claims that no quid pro quo took place! Schiff was shown once again to be a liar...something he's been caught at repeatedly...yet HE was the chosen to run the House investigation?

What a crock. Nobody has admitted there was quid pro quo! It's been alleged by the Left but what the House "trial" made abundantly clear is that you have zero PROOF that the aid was contingent on the Ukrainian President investigating the Biden's!

Some of the most ill informed people on the planet post right here in USMB!

To investigate corruption in the Ukraine! Where in that exchange did Mulvaney ever state there was a quid pro quo?

It was a quid pro quo, between America and Ukraine.

Not between the Trump campaign, or Donald J. Trump , personally.

The treaty between America and Ukraine binds our two nations to cooperate in purging out corruption. And no, Sleepy Joe's declaration of Presidential candidacy doesn't exempt his ne'er-do-well son from being investigated.

I mean asking the President of the Ukraine to investigate corruption! Why is that improper? It's done all the time.

What's laughable is listening to them try to make the case that Trump is violating the emoluments clause by having a summit meeting at Doral...a property that he owns! What part of the offer was to do that AT COST didn't they get? Trump offers to give the taxpayers a break by having it at a property he owns but because it's Trump...those liberal mouthpieces in the media immediately declare that it's a violation of the emoluments clause! News flash for you clueless wonders...when you do something "at cost" it means you're not taking a profit while doing it!!!!! Duh?

The Secret Service is already familiar with Trump's properties, and know what their security concerns are each of them, as well as have good strategies to deal with them.

Moving the summit to a Motel 6 in Fort Smith Arkansas might sound less expensive, but it really isn't. The Secret Service as well as the bodyguards for other nations' leaders would have to visit and scope out the area, see where the blind spots are, consider the various routes to air strips they'll be using, all takes time and is expensive.

Would the libs be willing to get behind Putin and attack Ukraine? Will the Democrats promise to eliminate aid to Ukraine, if Zelensky refuses to back their narrative?

According to Democrats, anyone who disagrees with their presumptions, conjecture or assumptions, is a liar.

The defendant says "I didn't do that."
The so called victim says "He didn't do that."
But both men are liars and Trump has been impeached.

No amount of statements by anyone will convince the dems to give up what they believe, even if they lack any evidence to prove their presumptions.

 

[Wapasha]

I keep hearing that, but tell me what corporations have raised wages, bonuses, built new plants, etc. as a result of the removal of all these regulations.

Well, for example, the modifications to HUD and FHA loans and such, it speeds up the process of buying a home, which means home sell faster.

I don't understand why it's so difficult to understand that the economy will move along more quickly, if regulations which are stifling growth are emended to streamline the functions of a business, or by simply removing regulations which make it cost prohibitive.

He asked you to name a regulation that raised wages -- and you couldn't......which pretty much makes his point...

Simply saying "get rid of regulations" is what people say when they can't tell you much more than that......Right now, can you tell me what regulation we can do away with that will raise wages right now??

Will loosening environmental protections so large corporations can pollute easier -- will that raise wages?? what??

Are you involved in any kind of business, Biff? If you were...you'd have a good idea how much time and money we waste in this country jumping through hoops set up by government.

So in other words, you are not going to tell me which regulatory rule being removed resulted in you or your employees getting a raise... got it

You are going to play this stupidity to the very end, aren't you.

What are you looking for, proof of some kind of law that was passed during the Trump admin which forced employers to pay you or me any kind of pay increase?

"Zelensky said he wasn't pressured in the slightest."

Yes, because people typically admit they take bribes.

Trumpers are the type who say "Well the guy with the gun being held to his back should have told us he had a gun to his back"


It's almost like they don't understand how coercion works......

They sure don't. It's like they think that after the gun is removed and guy is set free, the bad guy is still there.

But the bad guy is still there.....in fact, most of the people that the coerced guy thought would hold the bad guy accountable are in fact 1000% on the side of the bad guy.....

Leading the coerced guy to realize his best move is to not rock the boat...….

Besides, the coerced guy is the one who cancelled a TV appearance to announce what the bad guy wanted him to announce the minute the bad guy was forced to release the military aid....

Zelensky Nearly Announced The Investigations Trump Wanted -- Then Everything Changed

And now that everyone is watching, the bad guy can't put the gun in his back any more. It is far too easy to simply insist the "victim" is lying because it upsets the narrative, especially when the "victim" has come to no harm.

And interesting that the "victim" is so scared of Trump that he is willing to lie about being pressured, yet so UN-afraid of Trump that he's willing to defy his wishes by not announcing the investigation. Can't really have it both ways, you know.

Actually yes the bad guy can...….because EVERYONE is not listening....

The entire Trump admin and GOP is still pretending there was never a gun being held to the back of the coerced guy in the first place...…

If I were the coerced guy, I would concede that the entire GOP are corrupt as shit...something that coerced guy knows something about...

and it is not the coerced guy's job to aid in the investigation of a US politician......something the bad guy and his sycophants (YOU) still haven't understood yet....

So just be content that you're calling the "victim" a liar because he counters the narrative.
