Originally posted by JimL View PostYah, they are friends, CP. He doesn't have to stop using that expression just because it offends you. You used a silly expression of friendship to compare his actions to the criminal activity undertaken on the part of Giuliani, a private citizen, on orders from the criminal President..

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostNews is he has his limits. WP is reporting Trump requested he hold a news conference and declare Trump 'not guilty' of any crimes in Ukraine. He 'declined to acquiesce' to his request. Which is a tacit admission Trump at the very least 'might' have committed crimes in Ukraine.
You have to watch yourself, ox, whenever there are multiple possibilities, you invariably settle on the one that is the worst for Trump and then delude yourself into believing that your biased assumptions are necessarily true.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostAnd Bill Barr seems to be taking the exact opposite approach where both ardent Trump supporters and ardent Trump detractors are dissatisfied with him, which makes me think he's probably doing something right!
No one acting from principle can stay on Trump's (or his followers) good side for long.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 11-07-2019, 07:48 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

would be more believable if you extended the same reaction to Barr's equal if not more extreme function at Trump's side.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostBy not heeding Trump's request to declare him not guilty WRT Ukraine, he has shown he has his limits. However, he has an internal doctrine of the extent of presidential power that skews him too far to the point of backing Trump even when he should not. But - if he actually is acting from principle through and through, and his commitment is to the constitution as he understands it and not the president himself, then eventually as Trump veers farther and farther away from what is his place as POTUS and more into self-serving and lawless behavioir, Barr will be required to be in Trumps way more than helping him out and my expectation is you (and breitbart et al) will begin to despise him more and more. Eventually he may even have to join your parade of 'rats'

What you seem unable to comprehend is that if it was wrong for Obama and Holden, it is wrong for Trump and Barr. Whether or not such antics are good or bad is independent of who is doing them.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
