  1. This prank call story isn’t new and the stuff wasn’t just “dug up”. ETA: Also, the facts of what happened are totally benign.
  2. Double post.
  3. Can someone give the cliffs notes version of the basis of these “defamation” claims? I haven’t followed that particular part of this mess. That said, my hypothesis is that Schiff did NOT attribute false quotes/words to DOTUS. I would presume that Schiff was speaking about what logical inferences could be drawn from the call memo, etc., which is, of course not at all the same thing as “making up words and pretending that I said them when I didn’t”. How close am I?
  4. Sure, but the assertion you are denying came from zerohedge, which is the gold standard in credibility.
  5. What a vague worthless question to ask.
  6. You keep talking about the political pressure and how it *could* cause a significant GOP exodus. What I’m missing from your posts is the factual basis for believing that the GOP voters give a single solitary fuck about oaths, laws, ethics, fraud, etc.
  7. Wait. Your last paragraph, was that meant for me? The fuck? Where is my whataboutism in my post. I was telling the troll that there is an actual transcript, so lack of a recording does not necessitate relying on the bullshit memorandum.
  8. Still catching up with your nonsense. I’ll stop after this. You actually make a correct assertion! There is no “recording”. There IS, however, an actual transcript of the call. It’s locked in some super secret server, and STILL has not been released by the WH.
  9. Negged for either being too stupid to know what a simple word means or deliberate obfuscation. You pick. TRANSCRIPT.
  10. ^ Still pretending to not know what the English word “transcript” means.
  11. Lol. Now I know you’re not serious. You: But Obama investigated political rivals! Me: Maybe, but the big difference would be that he didn’t get help from a foreign government to do so. You: We get help from other countries for stuff all the time though! It’s the combination of the two that’s not “OK”. This is such a bizarre exchange to be having with an adult smart enough to use a computer/smart phone, which is a pretty low bar.
  12. Now you don’t know what “transcript” means. Are you for real or is this a bit?
  13. “Enlisting the aid of a foreign government” is the critical distinction here.” Did that honestly not occur to you?
  14. I kinda wish they held the recording back until the WH went off the rails denying the comments were made, but whatever. They’ll still probably deny them.
  15. Does it matter? I guess I’m not understanding your implication about “court stacking” and what it means in this context.
  16. The color is orange, not rouge.
  17. Dems need to focus on impeaching, dragging and defeating the orange one or we will end up with two more Kavanaughs. That scenario = irreparable lasting damage to the country.
  18. Are you aware that a decent coach (assistant or whatever) OFTEN grabs the returner by the jersey before he goes out and tells him “do not return or fair catch this punt. Run away from the ball and don’t go near it? Edit to add: aim only salty about the one near the end of the game.
  19. The distinction pointed out by brisket is that the current allegation involves a promise/threat regarding military aid. Your comparison sucks and you completely ignored the substance of Brisket’s post. Cool.
  20. Dems seeking to impeach Kav (while failing to move swiftly on DJ) would be such a colossally stupid move. I fully expect them to do this, of course.
  21. Lol. “Energy independent”. So I guess that any oil supply fluctuations internationally will not affect our crude prices at all now.
  22. This right here is pure internet gold.
  23. Sorry, camps are full. Brown kids out front should have told ya.
  24. Double post.
  25. My BIL cancelled his Netflix for this very reason. He will buy now Nikes. My new goal is to see how many things I can get him to cancel, throw away, boycott, etc.
