I’m your huckleberry.

The IG report revealed vast, systematic errors, and found the explanations for them to be inefficient. Mueller, with his vast investigative powers, fo...

I’m glad you say this because this statement accurately describes crossfire hurricane and the Mueller investigation. Except Trump did not ask Zelensky...
December 24, 2019 at 23:19
No. This was my argument. “It was only a matter of time before they impeached Trump for word crimes. It was too difficult for them to find actual crim...
December 24, 2019 at 23:05
Why is a request to investigate potential corruption wrong? Trump is not the OMB. If the OMB violates the impound act, they should have been taken to ...

It’s completely relevant. Executives exercising executive privilege is a matter of course, not an impeachable offence.
December 24, 2019 at 20:37
Again, you cannot provide evidence that Trump “sought to pressure the Ukrainian leader to take actions to help the President’s 2020 reelection bid”.
December 24, 2019 at 20:36
I’m not sure it will hold up in court, but Obama, Bush and Clinton all evoked executive privilege to stonewall congressional investigations. Should th...
December 24, 2019 at 20:17
I never made such a claim.
December 24, 2019 at 20:06
The Dems called no fact-witnesses. There was no investigations. There was no cnn interview. The aid was released. There was no pressure.
December 24, 2019 at 20:04
What words give evidence that Trump “sought to pressure the Ukrainian leader to take actions to help the President’s 2020 reelection bid”?
December 24, 2019 at 20:02
That’s right, people were easily misled by bad reporting and using that bad reporting as evidence. You’re in that camp too, Tim.
December 24, 2019 at 19:46
That’s right.
December 24, 2019 at 19:40
Yes he does have executive privilege, which includes denying congressional subpoenas.
December 24, 2019 at 19:40
Off the top of my head According to testimony two of the three direct conversations with Trump contained explicit denials of a quid pro quo, including...

Trump has executive privilege. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_privilege

To anyone interested, creative soul reiterates Democrat talking and the arguments of Democrat, anti-Trump professors while dismissing the exculpatory ...

Perjury is a crime.
December 24, 2019 at 18:50
I have listened to the testimonies. Not sure what your point here is.
December 24, 2019 at 18:49
It is the weakest impeachment case in American history. It’s a dangerous precedent. This will be an indelible stain on the Democrats for years to come...

The United States has a mutual legal assistance treaty with Ukraine. https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/12978-Ukraine-Law-Enforcement-ML...

I’m aware of and agree that one needn’t commit any crimes to be impeached, but because there is no apparent crime nor constitutional violation we have...
December 24, 2019 at 18:27
Repeating the Democrat’s talking points doesn’t make them any more true.
December 24, 2019 at 18:25
He never investigated any US citizen. The hold on aid was lifted before the expiry date.
December 24, 2019 at 18:03
So not only are they not crimes, they are not even mentioned in the constitution. This is really all we need to know about the whole affair.
December 24, 2019 at 17:48
How did he violate the constitution?
December 24, 2019 at 17:29
You seem a like a pantywaist. Neither are high or low crimes or misdemeanors. Neither are mentioned in the Constitution.
December 24, 2019 at 17:14
The person I was responding to implied Trump committed actual crimes. He didn’t. Which part of the constitution did he violate?
December 24, 2019 at 16:35
Hate speech? Sorry, bub, not in America.
December 24, 2019 at 16:30
What “actual crime” did Trump commit? First it was bribery, extortion, “a classic Mafia-like shakedown” as Schiff called It, and of course the media’s...
December 23, 2019 at 18:14
The man who made the claim was one of the Democrat’s witnesses, Noah Feldman. The republican witness disputed his claims. Don’t you have news media wh...

You preach end days and I’m the one that’s flailing aimlessly in the dark?
December 22, 2019 at 23:00
Do you trust humans to give you an accurate model of the future? Extreme poverty is in decline, life expectancy has more than doubled since 1900. Is i...

The idea that someone else is to blame for someone else’s suicide is not without its irony. There is no place in the workplace for bullying and harass...
December 22, 2019 at 19:59
The Democrat’s impeachment efforts were so weak that it is laughable. But it was never about “justice” or “democracy” anyways. It was just another lay...
December 22, 2019 at 17:09
For all his faults, his stupidities, his hubris, his bluster, Trump still runs circles around candidates who have been politicians for the better part...
December 21, 2019 at 17:15
Vigilantism should be made legal? I’ve made nothing close to that argument. In other words, you don’t care to properly represent your opponent’s argum...

They believe he’s the second-coming of Hitler, so it’s not a stretch for them to believe he can divide millions of people like Moses does the Red Sea.
December 21, 2019 at 16:55
Whataboutism.
December 21, 2019 at 16:53
He can and he did, and landed a spacecraft on the nucleus of a comet while doing so. While you shush him and wag your finger he’s advancing the world ...
December 20, 2019 at 20:24
My point is that he can pick and choose what attire he deems appropriate, and it is neither up to me or you to do it for him. Your frigidity around cl...
December 20, 2019 at 19:33
I really like your argument. But perhaps there is a more optimistic component. Given the increasing life expectancy, idleness, and general quality of ...
December 20, 2019 at 17:54
what Part of my “rant” do you need data for? I don’t get it.
December 20, 2019 at 17:30
I think we can only manipulate people to the extent that they are gullible. In that sense it is wrong to use someone’s gullibility against them becaus...
December 20, 2019 at 17:19
You invented the hypocrisy and now are wasting your own time trying to call others out on it. Sorry, you need to use your big boy arguments.
December 20, 2019 at 17:14
Look, I’ve given you enough chances to return back to the topic. Any time you want to do so I’ll be interested in a conversation, but the hostility an...
December 20, 2019 at 17:08
That’s false.
December 20, 2019 at 17:04
What hypocrisy? I have said nothing hypocritical nor paradoxical.
December 20, 2019 at 17:00
You made things up. In other words you pretended I put myself into a paradox.
