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

[cerebus]

And? So as WaPo reported.... We know this already... back to #719 we go, no quid pro quo and all that

Oh there is a quid pro quo threat in the transcript.

I will say that we do a lot for Ukraine. We spend a lot of effort and a lot of time. … The United States has been very very good to Ukraine. I wouldn’t say that it’s reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.

Followed by:

The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General [William Barr] would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it. … It sounds horrible to me.

TDS... you're pissed that he asked for them to investigate the criminals and the dirt on the criminals(your homies yoh) is coming out... yet not pissed at the criminals and their crimes

Oh... and still no quid pro quo in anything you quoted there, or 'threat' as you say

 

[Temujin]

Just for cerebus

I can't wait to find out what's been sitting on that server that's associated with Crowdstrike... Ever get the feeling that the Dems just stood on a landmine?

As if either you or Trump care about that and not just scoring political points. When is Hillary going to get locked up?

You have lost your marbles if you think there’s any way in which this transcript vindicates Trump. It confirms the worst possible suspicions about him - he overtly extorted the president of Ukraine on the phone to get him to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. He made it clear in the conversation and admitted in other interviews that he deliberately withheld foreign aid, although he’s been flip flopping on the reason for that:

This is already really bad and we haven’t even heard from the whistleblower or seen the full report

I approve of this message.

 

[MrGray]

Why does it feel like the real target here was Biden? Wouldn't surprise me if this whole thing was engineered by one or more of the other democrat nominees under the pretext of attacking Trump in order to get rid of one of the strongest contenders. Let's face it, this has publicized a potential scandal with Biden and his son, and not done any real damage to Trump, IMHO.

Too big a gamble imo. I feel at this point (baring a major) incident that they'd still win at the polls.

Who? The Democrats? LOL.

Sorry, I meant Biden. My response was a bit lacking there. Imo he's going to be the Dem rep, and Trump will likely beat him for a 2nd term. It's not that damaging in general, as Trump's kids have also done a few sketch things.

I find the whole leak quite interesting but haven't yet formed a solid opinion on it, going to be an interesting few days.

And you still managed to get triggered? Your life must be quite difficult if you are offended so easily. Just a suggestion: spoon + cement.

 

[Hamish McPanji]

Are we still waiting for the “fully declassified and unredacted transcript” ? Or was that just the normal trump BS.

Yeah Antifa tried that, a lot of reeing from you ensued.

Same here, sick of all these which hunts that amount to nothing. Still waiting for Ilhan Omar to get locked up for incest as well.
