I'm sure you took both sides of that debate.

First off there was no extortion. That was not in the transcript. No quid pro quo. Why do you make up shit? Who do you think you are, Adam Schiff?

I spent a lot of time thinking about this, unfortunately. You have to have so little self-respect that you are ok being lied to over and over.  You have to be ok with being told what to do.  You

You’re like the Surly version of a Texags poster.

Go see a doctor. Or lay off the booze. Preferably both.

You're right. A country that elects Trump is perfectly okay. Nothing to see here. Move along.

This country is in a world of shit. You should probably start seeing it for what it is if you really want this country to stay together.

Let's take account Nov 2020. No House. No Executive Branch. Senate, meh. toss up at this point. 

Toss up Senate is a win, huh?  Nearly 50% of the states in this country are Trumpist and that's a good thing?  Most of them are taker states too.  It isn't sustainable.

If anything, I expect both parties are going to veer even more towards populism (catering to opposite ends of the reactionary ideological spectrum).   The reset we are experiencing is not a good one.  Angry twitter mobs and rage addicted infotainment addicts are just going to gain more influence at the rate we’re going.

There is no reset. The economy is the only thing saving us from a real fighting civil war.  We are fat and unhappy right now.  Fed people don't fight. The violence doesn't start until people can't put food on the table. 

Maybe that's why Trump is trying to take away free lunches from 500,000 poor kids right now. He wants the fighting war.

Do you even death spiral, bro?

Yeah and if there was ever any doubt that a good portion of the country is past the point of no return, go look at texaggy or tigerrant. It's fucking terrifying. I'm as librul as they come and I can't think of a single Dem politician who I would go to bat for if they committed crimes in office. You have posters on texaggy hoping and praying for violence in the defense of Donald.....think about that.

So today's Trumpkin angle is that we don't know if Trump actually withheld funds from Ukraine.

Never mind quotes from concerned legislators and reports by WaPo and NYT that OBM only released those funds on September 11, well after the phone call between Trump and Zelensky, we don't ACTUALLY know that this happened, and "fake news".

For fuck's sake I truly hate half our populace.

We're not going to fight over shit - the government wouldn't let things get that bad, and people are occupied with social media, TV, smartphones, games, etc.  

Plus, Trumpkins could not keep a black Muslim atheist Communist Socialist Chicagoan Community Organize from Kenya who wears tan suits out of office, twice in the past 12 years.  

These people were getting ready to put on bigly marches, and then all of the sudden they started seeing their brethren marching in Charlottesville and being outted on social media as white supremacists, losing their jobs, being kicked out of university, being disowned by families, etc. and they got really shy about openly being white supremacists.

These people talk a big game, but when the flashlight is shined on them, most disappear into the walls like fucking cockroaches.

And Trump isn't trying to force anything with the free lunch thing, he can't think that far ahead, or think at that level.  Shit, if somebody from one of the major ag/food companies came to him, and said it would be good for their business, and donations to Trump, if he expand the free lunch program, he'd sign off on it in a heartbeat.  Edit: and I don't think the free lunch program is going to be hit that hard - somebody in Congress will quietly make sure it continues, because they don't want to increase voter turnout.

Your source is using racist term to describe the whistleblower. Certainly emblematic of trumpists though

spook


Also found in: Thesaurus, Acronyms, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

spook

  (spo͞ok)n.

1. Informal A ghost; a specter.

2. Slang A secret agent; a spy.

3. Offensive Slang Used as a disparaging term for a black person.

 

 

Pick the one that fits your narrative I guess? Context matters no?

I am old enough to remember when the Texas Spirits were the "Texas Spooks."

1) I married one.

2) I had been at UT all of a coupla weeks when I saw the spirit painting on the windows of shops on the drag, signed "Texas Spooks," and I specifically thought WHAT THE FUCK?  SPOOKS??  Cuz, you know, it's a pretty well-known racist term.

They changed names a few years later.

Damn my wife looked cute in her white blouse with that little orange kerchief at the football games.

What's the story here? Were they trying to hide incriminating conversations? Trying to prevent the leaks that plagued him during the first year of his presidency? Both? 

i think it's both. i think trump is a dumbass loose cannon whose mouth runs off to stupidland on the phone with other world leaders, and i think that kellyanne and company knew this and heard this and sought to protect him by hiding the stupidland conversations on the server with the codeword "stupidland."

So you think he's being niggardly with his interpretation of the remark?

The whistle blower report says that the word for word transcript of the call was moved to a code-word level classified system to limit access, even though there was no classified information on the call. The report also says “not the first time” this happened. 

Procedurally requires some NSC official’s access and approval

The leaks only occurred because of the incriminating conversations.

Some people in the White House counsel  office are going to prison 

They're blaming NSC lawyers, although the direction they attribute to the NSC lawyers is pretty vague:

"In a statement provided to CNN, a senior White House official says it was under the direction of National Security Council attorneys: "NSC lawyers directed that the classified document be handled appropriately."

If this is to be taken literally, the question then is why the White House thought it was appropriate to put the transcript on that particular server.
