Trump does not assess risk the way normal humans do and never has. This is super obvious throughout his business history, he convinces himself that he wins no matter how badly he gets wrecked.

Correct, because you can't do that anymore because it demands too much ignoring of reality even for the most dyed in the wool Dem fanboy. Still, given that you lot kept repeating it for years, what does that say about your political judgement?

Since I personally said it when it appeared that way in previous administrations, and then quickly dropped it when it became clear that she was going to do jack poo poo in this one, I guess it says my political judgement is pretty good and you trying to present yourself as some rational adult in the room by complaining bout strawmen that ceased to exist years ago, just like happens about 2x a week in this thread, is kinda dumb.

Yeah, it's pretty clear at this point that Republicans are going to turn this into Biden's email scandal. It's meaningless nonsense, but they aren't going to shut up about it for the next several months. It's going to be difficult for Democrats to make sure that the focus actually stays on Trump during an impeachment.

the guy that's withholding it doesn't have the ability to do so once the person who passed it on to him determined it should be given to congress. of course like the rest of this admin rules don't apply to him.

Yeah this is going to go 100% like the Clinton email
hearings where the Dems ask questions based in reality while the Republicans read Infowars talking points and ask where they torture the kids in pizza shops. The GOP is going to run interference hard, especially if Trump starts to get scared and throws the senators who helped him under the bus.

I mean IMO the best outcome of all of this is it sinks Biden and Trump gets impeached.

Oh yeah, I'm not particularly worried about it in part because I'm convinced that if Biden gets the nom he'd lose in the general either way. It is loving annoying that Republicans keep doing this and will likely be able to keep getting away with it, though. They're just picking the wrong target in this case.

"I stopped having a wrong opinion after the evidence against it became overwhelming" isn't exactly a stellar line of defense, especially not when folks on the left called bullshit on the Iron Lady Pelosi narrative years before you wisened up.

The real dumb thing here is that what you two are doing is basically tantamount to arguing that being able to predict things in advance doesn't actually matter, which is a pretty stunning level of arrogance, gotta say.

So this means one of what, four things?

1. Somehow the call actually isn't bad.
2. The call is horrific but Trump thinks he can ride the wave.
3. The transcript is edited.
4. The transcript has just enough wink wink nudge nudge for republicans to hold their tongues.

I'm erring on the last, but #2 is peak.

I wonder if we'll see the whistleblower pull a Deep Throat and leak the real substance of the complaint if it turns out to be anything but #2.

I absolutely cannot wait fir this part, and it won't just be Trump; keep in mind a) none of his minions in the administration have legal immunity like President/Vice Pres do, and b) most of them aren't fanatically loyal to Trump The Man, they're there to make some bucks, so there is going to be some loving epic flippery and backstabbing.
