That's just what you want to believe, CP.
What I can't fathom is how you can all be looking at the evidence and testimony through all of this and come up with ridiculous conclusions like that.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The only "entirely political circus" aspect of it is how republicans Congressmen are dealing with it, and we know you weren't talking about them.
Look, Jim, I've been treating you with respect and answering you straight up. You seem to have this need to snark. How bout dialing it down just a tad, eh?

Originally posted by JimL View PostSure, but again, we both know what you were implying.
You've repeated it several times now. "it's entirely political"
"It's all just a political circus"
Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThe whole thing is a circus, Jim.
Please don't misrepresent what I actually said. And I only said that ONCE, not "several times now".
It is neither, CP, although republicans are trying to turn it into one.
It's about an extremely serious matter, i.e it's about a corrupt president who believes himself above the law, a president who abuses his power, who obstructs justice, who colludes with and extorts foreign governments and a president who ceaselessly lies to the American people, abuses the public trust.
The only "entirely political circus" aspect of it is how republicans Congressmen are dealing with it, and we know you weren't talking about them.
No snark intended, CP. I can't help it if that's the way you see it.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
