Ripoff posted:I was initially a bit afraid the transcripts would be harmless, but after Trump attempted a mulligan with Pelosi and now with the White House playing down the whole thing this will probably end up being something insane. That you don't see a ton of republican MOCs making noise in Trump's defense should say a lot. Not that none is being made, but it's suspiciously quiet for how serious the situation is also just want to take this chance to say that nancy pelosi can get hosed and she's still only 1% of the way towards not turning pelosi into the next quisling

This just cracks me up, because he clearly just does not understand that there is anything wrong with doing this. This is how he's reacted whenever his usual tactics of bluster and threaten failed to get him out of a jam in his life: call up whatever mobster or loan shark or corrupt state senator had him over a barrel and say "OK, fine, let's make a deal". And they would, because for them having a Donald Trump around was better than not having a Donald Trump around. Similarly I think he really doesn't understand that he did anything wrong in that phone call, or in the whole withholding-of-aid thing. It was all just this great negotiating tactic he thought of, so why not? Then people started yelling at him over it, and he literally thinks that what people are mad about is that he was rude or threatening on the phone call. Not that he did crimes. So today he's backed into a corner, and people won't stop yelling, and his super awesome UN speech didn't go so well, and it's looking like this is what everyone's going to be talking about this week, so he ... calls up the mob boss and tries to slide over a satchel of cash. Unreal

WeaponX posted:Believing that Trump is playing some sort of mind games that people are “falling into” is a old, dumb, lie. This is the same bothsides bullshit that gave us President Shrub and the Orange fuckwit. It's the argument that conservatives use to excuse Republican malfeasance (hey both sides are lying crooks but at least this guy is my lying crook) The parties aren't the same, they haven't been the same ever, and no they aren't all equally corrupt and they aren't all criminals and pushing that nonsense is doing the work of the Fash for them. How do we know this? Because Democrats get investigated constantly and when they are found to be corrupt or criminals they are run out of office and politics. Yeah there are poo poo Democrats, the difference is that there actually are some good Democrats and most are decent while there are no good Republicans. I really don't want to have to vote for Biden, I'd much rather be able to vote for Sanders or Warren but if it comes down to him or any Republican I've voting for Biden, Because living through the results of "hey why don't we give this Republican a chance it's not like the parties are really that different" twice is quite a loving enough for me. Because it does loving matter. Democrats may not be perfect but President Gore wouldn't have gotten us into Afghanistan or Iraq, if for no other reason than he wouldn't have ignored Al Qeada or the daily briefing about them being determined to attack the United States the way Bush did, he wouldn't have passed a massive economy breaking tax cut for the rich and he would have taken the threat of Climate change seriously. And Hillary? She's been a source of disappointment for me from the moment that she voted to let Bush go into Iraq because it showed that she had the political instincts of a rock but the idea that she's this malevolent mastermind criminal is loving laughable in it's absurdity. The Republicans spent billions getting all up in her and Bill's poo poo and found gently caress all to go after them on. Meanwhile you gently shake the average Republican and you need a loving dump truck to catch all the crimes that shake loose. Believing that nonsense is as dumb as thinking that the US faked the moon landing. If there was anything to get on her, they'd have gotten it, There is a reason why they have to make up outrageous poo poo and it's because there is no there there. If they really had anything they'd bring loving indictments. You know like Democrats loving do. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Aidan_702 posted:Is this an example of where they didn’t object hoping a reasonable amount of other republicans would - and then completely lost that gamble? What happened is that the transcripts were coming out regardless, and they don’t want to be on record as specifically having voted to release them, so now specific Republicans can claim they would have voted no/yes, but felt it pointless to fight a resolution that was obviously going to pass. They get to have their cake and eat it basically. They can spin this a lot easier than a resolution passed with all the Dems and a few defectors, which would look absolutely horrid regardless of long term outcomes.

Data Graham posted:This just cracks me up, because he clearly just does not understand that there is anything wrong with doing this. It's been apparent since day 1 of Trump's administration (and it's been the main thing hampering everything he has tried to do) that he literally understands nothing about how government functions either domestically or especially abroad. Like just the idea that the president is the point of contact with Ukraine over aid discussions is so bizarre in any world where an even minimally functional state department/foreign service exists. Shitshow posted:Sue Gordon didn’t resign over this, did she? First Dan Coats https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/item/2027-dni-daniel-r-coats-resignation-letter then Sue Gordon https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/PDDNI_Gordon_resignation.pdf iirc her resignation's timeline matches up with this, Dan Coats may have predated the whistleblower thing by a day or two?

So while I'll agree with most of what you said, the Clintons invited the right hand woman of a Jeremy Epstein to their daughter's wedding. Her name is Ghislaine Maxwell and she was well known for aiding and abetting in a pedophile sex trafficking ring for the rich, the famous and the influential. Her invitation came after Epstein was convicted and served less than a year in a prison of his own design that he only had to visit sometimes. https://www.thecut.com/2019/08/ghislaine-maxwell-jeffrey-epstein-alleged-madam.html The dems don't rid themselves of all of their trash. Much of them, when they're caught at least, yes. But some businesses are deemed to big to fail. Some turds are deemed to big to flush. The Clintons are emblematic of this. Maybe politicians are a bad idea.

I imagine so many people have seen the real transcript that altering it would be suicidal. There is the NSA agent who was listening, the call was recorded and then transcribed by someone, there is a whistleblower who may or may not be one of those first two people, there are the people who reviewed the complaint and forwarded it up the line, which was probably more than one person, and I suspect Dan Coats, Sue Gordon, and several other top officials know what was really said. This looks like a sinking ship. No way all of these people cover for Trump. The whistleblower wants to talk to the intelligence committees so he or she will probably confirm authenticity. I do wonder if there are multiple calls though and they will release the least damning one.

It's pretty hilarious that Trump saw Biden as such a threat that he tried to use the same playbook that worked against Hillary, but not only because he was dumb enough to do it on a drat oval office state call, but because Biden isn't even a loving threat yet, and not likely to be in the future either. He just assumed Biden = Obama and went full hate boner to stop him in the dumbest way possible and shot his own dick off. Just glorious. Making Trump do this will be the best part of Biden's legacy.

Numlock posted:Lol after the muller report turned out to be useless I guess Trump figured he could get away with anything. An intact muller report may come back into review with the new impeachment powers. Anyone remember if the House can tack on charges as the investigations proceed? I vote yes, but am a bit tired. Theoretically the House can change the procedurals ad infinitum, sans decorum as the many stories unfold. Given the votes, of course.
