House Speaker Pelosi to announce formal impeachment inquiry of Trump

[One Bad Pig]

I gotta question about these efforts to separate your spanking fetish from any sexual innuendo.

How's that working out for you?

Given that it's YOU who's characterizing it as some sort of spanking fetish, and it's you who keeps bringing it up....

Seriously, you're being 100% jackass here. I don't read him as seriously advocating corporal punishment of a 16-year old, but using the imagery to connote that she's acting well under her age; "petulant child" should be a hint.

[firstfloor]

I won't require it, but I'd appreciate it, as a personal favor, if you chose of your own accord to decline changing screen names in my threads.

And more issues with complaint not adhering to facts:

Volker connecting Giuliani with Ukraine official - text from July 19

"As discussed, connecting you here with Andrey Yermak, who is very close to President Zelensky," the message from Volker to Giuliani read in part. "I suggest we schedule a call together on Monday [July 22] ..."

Fox overstates in my opinion - but you don't do 'damage control' by facilitating the thing you think is damaging - and the complaint indicates a response after the fact, not assistance to Giuliani beforehand.

Andrew Cuomo

The Daily News

Bill Maher

"This is all I heard on TV this week, 'This is different because it's so simple, people could understand it.' But have you met the American people? Are there pictures involved?" he argued.
Maher then expressed his agreement with panelist Noah Rothman, who mocked Democrats who claim they can "walk and chew gum at the same time" between legislating and pursuing impeachment.
"If we do this, the country is going to be paralyzed," Maher continued. "I'm not saying don't... It's going to be paralyzed for a very long time and all of the oxygen in the room will be taken by this."

Ah, dual contempt for voters and democrats alike!

There are others including folks who actually have a say in the matter such as Jared Golden (D - Me.), Collin Peterson (D- Minn.), Anthony Brindisi (D - NY), Max Rose (D - NY), Kendra Horn (D -OK), Xochitl Torres Small (D -NM), Ben McAdams (D - UT), Joe Cunningham (D - SC), and Ron Kind (D - Wisc.). And I think that I might be missing a few.

This ain't the first offense for Spanky. He used the same imagery for the Parkland kids some time ago, the first time I called him out on it. He's even tried it out on me, right here in this thread. He is dead serious. The first time he defended himself by saying that's how he did his own kids.



I'm a grown man attacking a grown man attacking a child on the internet. A girl child, 12-looking, 16, whatever. With a condition known all too well to TWebbers, and to me, too, personally, with a walking talking nephew to keep me reminded, and the marine's kid as well.


Time and past time for you to recalibrate your jackass detector.

[Juvenal]

I can't even say why, but as far as I'm aware, he's never done the same to me, and it's not as if we haven't openly disagreed in extended discussions. But more than that, ff, I'm making a real request here, and I'd appreciate your help in the form of giving him room to reconsider.

...we cut out all the unnecessary repetition and theatrics to leave you with just the questions and answers that you need to hear.

Okay, that made me laugh. Very Orwellian of then. Anytime someone tells you what you "need" to hear, that's your cue to look for what they don't want you to hear.

[JimL]

Beware of Rachel's selective outrage. She's not giving you the straight facts. As Bill Maher recently said, "If Don Jr. did [what Hunter Biden did], it would be all Rachel Maddow was talking about."

Actually, unlike conservative sources, she does give the straight facts, regardless of her left leaning ideology. What do you think Don Jr. Ivanka, and stupid are up to? They got all their high paying jobs, probably like Hunter Biden, because of who they know. You don't hear Rachel Maddow rattling on about them. No one is arguing that Hunter has clean hands, there is no evidence either way, the argument is that Biden went out of his way to end an investigation into his son. The facts are that Biden was sent by Obama to relay a message to the Ukrainian government that the U.S. would not be giving financial aid unless the Prosecutor General, known to all in the west alliance, including the IMF, to be corrupt, was dismissed from his position. That wasn't Bidens decision, it wasn't under Bidens authority to make that decision, it was Obama's decision.

So, did Bidens son do something criminal? Who knows, and who cares, he's not running for office.

Yes, we can see how you adhere to the philosophy, MM, when it comes to the Trump Administration.

Well I don't actually remember what I said about the Parkland kids, but I certainly did spank my kids. As I was spanked, like my parents were spanked. Nothing to harsh and not that often. None of it was the least bit sexual - and you suggesting that motive just makes you a liar and twisted.

Donations to Trump's political campaign are pouring in. $15 million in California alone within just two days.

The backfire effect.

It fascinates me. Libs better hope and pray for a miracle that this impeachment process is a success, because it will probably go down in history as the greatest self-inflicted defeat in political US history.

Perhaps he just hasn't thought of a good one. I'd recommend "Puerile."

At Fox News, Trump Impeachment Inquiry Brings On-Air Sniping

By Michael M. Grynbaum
Sept. 27, 2019

I got quite a kick out of that intramural feces flinging.

Here is a video summary of the recent on-air spat.

WRT to Judge My Cousin Vinny: My observation over the past few years is that initially he was clearly pro-Trump, and his legal interpretations and opinions almost always supported Trump. At a certain point, it was suggested he might be a SCOTUS nominee, and his response was along the lines of, "Oh, golly, that would certainly be an honor, but that's up to the President." But when it became clear he was not going to be seriously considered, his demeanor changed noticeably, and his legal interpretations and opinions now usually incline *against* Trump.

So basically, my observations align with Joltin' Joe's opinion.

Now this could be highly relevant.

This looks like the incipient growth of a spine.

For years, Fox's news personnel have reported and remained silent as Fox's propaganda personnel ... contrary to much popular belief, purported opinion content does not qualify as opinion when the purported opinions are not based on facts ... have followed Fox's newscasts with extended and repeated contradictions of Fox's news reporting.

Mike Wallace's kid has been proved particularly spineless in this regard.

Whatever.

From what I've seen on-air, the main problem at FNC is • Edited by a Moderator • Smith. Once upon a time, he did qualify as a journalist. He always did lean a bit left, and served a good purpose in reporting things that were uncomfortable for those of us on the right. But since the advent of The Beloved Orange One, he has ceased to be a journalist and has entered the opinion domain -- but with no acknowledgement from himself or TPTB.

On-air, things were a bit better in the days when Rupert ruled from on high, and Randy Roger oversaw things.

They're only getting more desperate and making more unforced errors. Trumpslide 2.0 is going to be one for the history books
