lickin_starfish 1,480 Posted September 25, 2019 I just read the transcript of the phone call. Nowhere in it does Trump mention witholding aid to Ukraine or pressure them about the investigation. Pelosi can go fukk herself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe everything, question nothing. Absolutely. You forget, call them racists and intolerant haters if they don't fall in line. Use science as a defense for everything, except when science contradicts the party line. Luckily, those days are over right now. As for the call. Biden is absolute toast. It's obvious Trump has played the left, again, for fools. He knew the call would be released and was happy to do it. That should have been a red flag right there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After 3 years of listening to her whine about Trump just about every day I rarely engage her anymore over politics. It's exhausting. It's always an over-the-top reaction to the most minuscule of things regarding Trump. Everything he does deserves an impeachment. It's beyond ridiculous.

Casual Observer 597 Posted September 25, 2019 If I have this situation straight, Joe Biden gives a public interview where he details withholding US aid to Ukraine unless the prosecutor investigating Biden's son is removed, Trump comments on it to the new Ukrainian PM (an opponent of Russia, btw) and Trump is supposedly the wrongdoer.

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 25, 2019 Something else Trump was asking about that should have the left and all those in the intelligence community that tried to frame Trump collectively sh!tting their pants. "I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike......I guess you have one of your wealthy people...The server, they say Ukraine has it." The supposed hacked DNC server............the one the DNC wouldn't let the FBI inspect. If they give the server to DOJ and it's proven it wasn't hacked, the whole Russia meddling conspiracy gets exposed. Trump basically set up the Dems to give evidence of their corruption in public.
