Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Welp. That turned out to be a nothing burger.

Yes, let’s hope it takes months, just like Nixon, until even the GOP agrees to impeach.

I found this one informative and helpful (and not over-long): https://thebulwark.com/truth-lies-and-the-nonsense-trump-biden-ukraine-false-equivalency/?fbclid=IwAR2eytAzSaDvcpm9kB3Bz4fde7T_XbB6bQswYCRcCn43mb1z5XKxelD3oGU

The whistleblower has tentatively agreed to meet with congressional lawmakers.

This is Deepthroat 2

Love him? Sally I have to call you out on your Trumpian type statement. A few weeks ago you were very clear about liking Trump's policies but not respecting the man because of his moral deficits. Now in pure trumpian type hypocrisy you say you "love him"?

(We might disagree whether what trump did warrants impeachment, but we both agree that is was a disgusting abuse of power, right?)

You are right, Conundrum. I should not have said that. It was not being pro-Trump but anti-anti-Trump. Am really exhausted after 3 years of Liberals who have become deranged in their hatred of Trump and have been attempting to undo the 2016 election. Trump was duly elected. Almost from day 1 the Dems had Mueller and his crack team of investigators looking at everything Trump. They looked at Trump. Ivanka. Donald, Jr. Kushner. Melania. Deutsche Bank. His attorney, Michael Cohen. Stormy Daniels. The playboy lady. His Manhattan holdings. James Comey. Rod Rosenstein. Paul Manafort. William Barr, Trump Tower meeting. Sergei Gorkov. And on and on and on. What did Mueller find? NO collusion. NO conspiracy. After almost 3 years, the Mueller investigation returned and it was a dud. Of course Dems/Libs were not going to lets this end. NOOOOOOOO. They have had 6 House Committees investigating Trump. You would think that 3 years of Mueller and his top-notch investigative team would be enough. But LIberals are never going to allow Trump to be president. Even if Trump is re-elected I can see Dems investigating him in 2024. Just exhausting.

Sally’s so tired, she’s rambling...

And further ... I am watching MSNBC (which quit being a news medium 3 years ago) and you have Joe, Mika, Eugene Robinson, Willie Geist, Claire Mccaskill, Matt Miller Nicole Wallace and others poring over the transcript but you can tell by their expressions that the know this is not going to bring Trump down. They are unhinged, in full panic mode. They know that this is not going to have any legs. They all have printouts of the transcript and just look pathetic.

This may be news to you, but impeachment proceedings began two days ago.

They found Paul Manafort guilty of financial crimes.

They found Michael Cohen guilty of financial crimes at the direction of Trump.

They found that Dion Jr inappropriately and illegally met Russians for political gain but chose not to indict because he didn't know it was illegal.

He laid out a case for obstruction of justice that hasn't been carried out by Congress.

And he still has associates Michael Flynn and Roger Stone that have been arrested and are either waiting sentencing or trial.

Not to mention all of the Russian indictments.

This Ukraine stuff happened after all of this. At the completion of investigating whether he conspired with Russians for political gain he openly asked the Ukraine to help him for political gain and clearly held of funding that was supposed to be sent to them.

I spy with my little eye a semantic trap that you and Flagpole will joyously argue until the end of times.

For everyone else, the House has been investigating Trump for all sorts of things for moths. The impeachment inquiry just gives a formal label to all that. Articles of impeachment still have to be drafted, voted on by the sub committee, and then presented to the full House for a debate and then a vote. I'd hardly say "impeachment proceedings have begun" since it's akin to saying "the indictment process has begun" before the investigative process has even finished.

Plase can we look at the numbers?!? wrote:

So, what’d y’all have for the odds of impeachment now? How about odds of Senate conviction? Resignation prior to conviction?

My sources in Vegas have it at 100%, 30%, and 0% as of last night....

Those odds sound about right to me.

I wouldn't put anything at 0%, but it's close enough that you could round down to 0%.

Why is no one talking about whether Joe Biden committed corruption? You really want to impeach a president (forget that it is Trump) and reverse an election because the president said he wanted Ukraine to "play ball." That is why you want to remove a duly elected president. Because he wanted another country to "play ball?"

What is "reversing an election?" Are you suggesting Democrats want to declare the 2016 election results as illegitimate and hold a sort of snap election in it's place? Did you grow up under power lines or eat paint chips as a kid perhaps?

Not at all. Ever since Trump was elected in 2016 they have been trying to oust him. They despise the man more than anything and will not stop until he is no longer president. Do you think that Biden should be investigated for corruption? You kind of ignored that.

Since the transcript is obviously not the smoking gun, what is?

Nunez is killing Dems right now in his statement. Ouch!

this whistleblower report is scary for america

read it. 9 pages.

the WH has been covering up Trump's illegal activities for years now. Hiding transcripts showing illegal activity and selling out american interests .

Finally one of them had the patriotism to reveal the president's treason.

dude is going to be impeached.

He has no idea of right or wrong or what the job of the presidency is. He thinks is is working for himself, not for America.

Traitor.

Biden actually did worse than what Trump is accused of. Yet, you don't think he should be prosecuted for it? Is that not a double standard???! Seriously, here is what Joe Biden said:

In this speech, Biden boasts his threat to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loans from Ukraine if they did not agree to fire the prosecutor who happened to be investigating the company giving his son a cushy sinecure.

huh? Biden wanted a stronger prosecutor, not a weaker one. You know this.

You also know that the the president should not use foreign policy to ask for illegal help for his campaign

you also know that no one has found any wrongdoing by any bidens.
