House Speaker Pelosi to announce formal impeachment inquiry of Trump

[Teallaura]

Yes, an obvious bit of self-deprecating humor. What parent doesn't want to indulge his child? But later in the interview he says,

"We can talk about support. Asking is definitely not about Ukraine. Ukraine is a new, strong country, asking nothing from anyone. We, ourselves, can help someone."

Does that sound like someone who is easy to push around?

The Ukraine has stood up to Russia multiple times - they aren't exactly wusses.

We'll see - but you may wanna start stocking up on tissue for when Trump whoops the Dems - again!

Sorry Tea, but Trump will be lucky to still be in office, and if the republican senate refuses to boot him out in light of the facts that come out to the public, they'll lose the senate as well. Trump is destroying your party and the only thing that might help them to retain any respect at all is if they rid themselves of the cancer they've been ignoring.

Eh, I'm not that attached - it took decades to finally leave the Democrat Party not bothering to be that attached again - but the Republicans aren't fracturing. The Dems are losing their minds - and their grip on both power and reality.

[JimL]

Of course that is exactly what it is!

Closing your eyes isn't going to help seer. Btw, no, you can't ask a foriegn country to investigate your political rival, quid pro quo or not! But the quid pro quo was proffered, and you know it, whether you can get yourself to admit to it or not.

Do they say anything about Biden using his position as Vice President to coerce the Ukrainian government into dropping a criminal investigation against his suspiciously highly paid son?

In your dreams!

In your dreams!

So they ignore the real scandal in favor of the fake scandal. Got it.

You're proving yourself to be a member of the dunces who Trump said would continue to support him even should he shoot someone down on 5th ave in broad daylight.

[Mountain Man]

The facts are in. Have you read the transcript of the phonecall? There was nothing illegal or even mildly improper in it. It's another big fat nothing burger with a side of nothing.

Or even if he had a friendly and perfectly legal phone conversation with a foreign leader. How scandalous!

It sounds like someone saying something rather unlikely and if you had read the transcript you would know his attitude was quite different when talking to Trump.

Feel free to convince yourself that Ukraine is a magical country that does not need help in its' situation.

So you think that was a transcript, do you?

Yeppers - transcribed from the call itself.

Cool, really - I didn't think anyone was still around who could do dictation or transcription like that.
