    Tomder55: I just bet there are a ton of dolts out there thinking: "We got Trump this time".....but, they don't have Trump this time, just like they never have had him before with anything else.....all the fake documentation in the "Steele Magnolias" dossier, the Cohen testimony, and so many other bunches of pure crap! Teflon Don survives yet again. And I am not even a Trump supporter but I can see when people try to "pile-on" and I don't like that.

    Shouldn't we wait and see what the facts are? Like everything the dufus does this sounds fishy as hell too! Luckily I have Netflix, popcorn and fantasy sports while things get sorted out. No hurry, whether we make the dufus accountable tomorrrow, next year, or any day after that is cool with me. Hope you get to a lifeboat after your Titanic dufus finally sinks Vac, or do you prefer V7?

    Paraclete: I think you are correct: Normally, at least in the last 80+ years or so, the left in the U.S. has always been "smarter" politically and sharper tactically as well as strategically than has been the right....but, with President Trump, whether it be him or the people behind him, the left seems, for lack of a better word, "punch-drunk": they just seemed confused and unable to get any traction against Trump. I am not pulling for one side or the other, I just want the U.S. to continue to progress, but all of these investigations by the left are killing themselves, not Trump: Trump is actually thriving under all this scrutiny and left looks more leaderless and more inept than they ever have in history!

    The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn steadily. It's a bit to premature to declare the dufus untouchable, no matter how much snake oil he douses on himself, or the yes men and sycophants he surrounds himself with. It appears to me though the bully will run out of places to hide the truth, or accountability for his own actions.

    So if you want to remain skeptics and cheerleaders that's fine by me, and as I sit back and enjoy the show the ending is pretty clear The good guys will eventually win. The dufus ain't a good guy, just so you know.

    Turns out this big story is an old story about Biden pressuring Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating Hunter Biden's and Joe's corruption . His corrupt dealings with Ukraine are easy to document. There’s even video of him admitting it. The media will now be forced to actually cover it.

    The Media is in the left's hip pocket and that ain't changing.....but its O.K.: All of the left and ALL of the Media is coming after Trump and Trump is still kicking all of their asses! Trump is like KING KONG!

    W.G.: The Civil Rights Act of 1964 WAS A REPUBLICAN LED PLAN! They tried to pass it in 1958 but the Democrats killed it....then, in 1964, the Republicans got enough Democrats to come over and vote for it that it passed....only one Republican Senator voted against it.....IT WASN'T JOHNSON'S PLAN, WASN'T PART OF THE GREAT SOCIETY, AND DAMN SURE WASN'T A DEMOCRAT PLAN!

    What is shameful for the Republicans, beside being gutless as they can be, is that they have let the Democrats CO-OPT the Civil Rights Movement! The Republicans FREED THE SLAVES, for GOD's sake and the DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF THE KLAN! DARNED FACTS! And now the DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF THE SOCIALISTS!

    Look, I was born in the morning, but not THIS MORNING! The Democrats have a vested interest in keeping minorities downtrodden and on the public dole....why? Because they think that will get these poor and mostly uneducated people to vote DEMOCRAT.....Trump is changing all this dynamic: Under Trump, Black Unemployment is lower than it has ever been! Trump doesn't talk all that well but he sure performs well ECONOMICALLY AND FISCALLY! And minorities are starting to take notice....and that scare the hell out of the left.

    Those repubs of which you speak are long gone and replaced by the conversion of dems who became repubs The dufus piggy backing on the Obama economic gains and claiming it was just all him falls on deaf ears to the minorities who know better than to trust his word for it, and while you tout those great job numbers they also remember that last hired first fired always applies, and black unemployment is still higher than whites and double in some regions so you want to use stats to convince someone how much you're doing for them?

    "White man speak with forked tongue" is the axiom applied here, no matter how the dufus spins his greatness. You would do well to factor that into your rants and give the minorities a lot more credit than to follow the RACIST feeding you BS and plenty of home brewed snake oil.

    That's why the dem power structure has minorities and women, and repubs, well they look like you do. Yeah we are taking notice of that FACT!

    Sorry fellows, that's not even close to the whole story. EVERYBODY and his mama wanted Shokin removed for years for corruption of the Ukrainian legal system. I highly suggest you extend the knowledge base on this matter beyond a minute YouTube clip for background into this. I mean right wing talking points don't minimize the distraction of the dufus lawless antics for his own re election by obstructing yet another investigation into his own corruption.

    The issue is the whistleblower and the obligation by law for the DNI to inform the congress fully, based on the IG report regarding his/her veracity and credibility. Sorry wingers, repeating talking points doesn't compare to the issues before us, and you can't ignore those facts.

    Is that illegal? What does THAT have to do with the dufus extorting Ukraine to get dirt on his political foe? I'm not condoning the kids of powerful political figures cashing in on mommy or daddy's position, heck the dufus kids are doing that NOW, aren't they, but let's at least examine all the facts and put things in perspective and not just look away at what our government is allowing the dufus to do and get away with with impunity.

    The dufus just replaced a bunch of folks who knew what they were doing with a bunch of folks that do as they are told and Guiliani spilled the beans on the whole thing.

    which was illegal ? the President using executive privileges' ,or some whistle-blower listening in on the President's conversation with foreign leaders ?(none of any of this is confirmed by anyone as of today) .

    So far there has not been too much interest in investigating the emperor's administration encouraging Ukraine to investigate Manafort on behalf of Evita's campaign....that resulted in a leak in Ukraine about cash payments to Manafort ....that resulted in Manafort's dismissal by the Trump campaign. So be it . That is politics in 2019 in a nut shell . If the Dems did not have double standards they would have no standards at all.

    Btw ,Michael Atkinson the IGIC is wrong in his interpretation section 3033 of Title 50 "urgent concern"

    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/3033

    It does NOT apply to a President's negotiations with another foreign leader . It applies ONLY to intelligence officials acting under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence .

    You are correct, we don't know the details of what the whistleblowers report was, or HOW he got it, but the IG deemed it credible and urgent, and it's stuck in DNI hands, on direction of the WH, and DOJ, with the threat of prosecution as a leaker after following WB protocols. So we see how it actually shakes out, and see what FACTS are.

    I sure ain't believing the WH version of ANYTHING at this point, not even the dirt on opponents.

    Biden is acting guilty.....don't know if he did anything but he acts like a man who just got caught doing something he should not have done...doesn't look good for Biden.

    Ukranian "Leader" says Trump didn't pressure him for any information....that is the Ukranian talking....pretty strong evidence nothing happened.

    After a weekend of denials, the dufus finally admitted he talked to the Ukraine about the Biden's. Dufus mouthpiece Rudy, said the State Dept. (Which they deny, and stick to the smear Biden party line when asked about it) greased the wheels of his contacts with the Ukraine government at the highest levels about getting dirt on the Biden's. This is a stark replay of 'Russia if you're listening..." from 2016. Doesn't the dufus look guilty of something? I guess you can ignore that as easy as you do the Mueller Report, and probably didn't bother to read it either, like so many of you dufus believers. That goes against your claim of NOT being a right wing loony dufus sycophant.

    Maybe things will get a lot more interesting since Pelosi has made the dufus the official subject of an impeachment inquiry, and 211 of 235 dems have come out for impeachment. In addition soon after the announcement yesterday the dufus said he will release the transcripts of his call with the Ukrainian president, and the whistleblower has asked the intel committees in the House and Senate for a hearing.

    Looks like it's on full steam ahead.

Hopefully, the AG Barr will go after Biden's son and, with any luck at all, Biden himself! Time to put the hooks into these loony left wingers and show them that frivolous actions have consequences: You can't continue to disrespect the POTUS and expect no repercussions....the left must learn that impeding the plans of the POTUS is to impede the pursuit of the well being of the American People and that can no longer be tolerated: Biden and son must be made examples of for all the left to see.
