US Politics and Trump Category IV - I've never even heard of one that big before

[cerebus]

No, we're at the point of trolling the Dems regarding their absurd standards. Keep dreaming, your retorts are growing more and more retarded with each passing post. Did someone spill crack all over you this morning or something?


Lol, first you have to bring evidence that needs to be defended against.

Ok so no line of defense then. Just gonna let Sondland implicate the entire Trump administration in one huge international conspiracy and not even offer a shred of an alternative explanation.

 

[Emjay]

No, but I wish you'd stop PMing me asking for nudes, I've already said no and I meant it.

Yeah, and I like I said, hairy Boomer is not really my thing.

Burden of proof lies with the accusers last I checked, unless you want to throw away the presumption of innocence like Nervous Nancy?

Sondland can't implicate anyone because none of what he witnessed can substantiate the allegations against Trump. Conjecture presented as fact is not evidence, I said so already in this thread. But carry on thinking you actually have something in Sondland's testimony, it amuses me to no end.

I'm currently listening to Nunes give his opening address for today's hearings. He sure has a flair for the dramatic.

Suing-a-cow-Devin just straight up lies. Every word. Even his "and's" and "the's" are lies... His projections are as spectacular as they are laughable.

I'm beginning to think that Devin isn't a very smart boy.

Gen X. We never get credit for anything and I see today will be more of the same... Greg sad.

He has a flair for putting me to sleep. I need to cancel my headspace subscription and just keep recordings of him and Schiff waffling on.

Gen X are a myth because they are only ever spoken about in hushed tones. Especially when you hitting close to the big five oh. Right, Greggypants?

Not talking about when he goes home.

I showed some of the links of him hosting events at his properties, where the white house has essentially paid him for his friends to be entertained there.

Had such events been hosted at Camp David or the White House, Trump would not have benefited from that at all.

Trump deciding to host the event at his place, is where the conflict of interest kicks in, because he profits from his choice to host it there.

This is literal Deja Vu for every argument I have ever had with an EFF or ANC supporter when they blindly defend their Dear Leaders corrupt practices.

Trump flouts the law, as he technically divested himself from the organisation, but if you believe that, well you will believe anything.

And, tell me, you do support Bloomberg? Please can you reconcile back to us how Bloomberg should divest from all his businesses and financial dealings.

 

[buka001]

Which ones?


Again, do you have any evidence to show that those expenditures are improper and would not be what the US government would be forking over regardless?

If you don't, then there's nothing corrupt about the benefit.


No, it's not. You can keep asserting that it is as much as you like, but unless you can show why the expense is unreasonable, you're barking up a tree to nowhere.


Trump isn't competing for fscking catering tenders, he's simply choosing to reside where he habitually did before he won the election, that's how it's different.

And quite frankly, politicians wives can supply food to events if there's nothing improper regarding the expenditure, in principle. You're shifting the goalposts now, you were comparing Trump to Zuma, remember?

Not talking about when he goes home, talking about hosting official events with other dignitaries etc.

And you ignored the question I asked you regarding those events... Until I get some answers or at the very least an explanation of what's wrong with the criterion I set, you're not responding substantially to my points.

Gawd he said 'hillary' *awaits triggered outrage*

No, Buka is merely exhorting the first retort he can thinks he can use to dismiss your exposure of his hypocrisy without having to address it directly.

The further links I added detail the events he has hosted at his properties

What your blind sycophantic adherence to Trump ignores is that by spending money at Trump's properties, because Trump told them to go to his property, Trump profits. If they spent that money at Camp David, Trump gets nothing. So why does he choose to go to his venues? Conflict of interest.

Just like the tenders. The government would have spent the money on food anyway, but the guy who decided, chose his wife, so he can profit.

Cool so if this dude becomes president we can see if he is using US government funds to channel back to his pocket.
