Re: Another Trump failure
We can all play that game.
I'd love to see the Blue States try to make it without us. I'd guesss it wouldn't be too long before many of them would apply for admission to Conservitania because conditions were getting unlivable in Leftistia. In reality they'd probably wise up and start acting more like red states because the error of their ways would become clear even to them.. But it would be interesting to watch.

I make the mistake of thinking you all hear the same information I hear, but of course all you get is the fake news that extols the leftists and ignores or vilifies those on the right, and i'm not good at keeping track, too bad. Ben Shapiro called Schiff "seriously dishonest human being" or something like that. Can't even remember the adjective. Well, obviously I'm not the person to represent my point of view here but there's nobody else. You'll never hear any of this if I don't post. But maybe that's all right. You'll all just remain in your own little fantasy bubble.
Oh sometimes Marc comes along and tells you the truth about these things. I'm glad of that.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
Of coruse you assume it's all true, as I said. and of coruse you never heard it, that's the sort of news you guys just don't get because the Left ignores it. No sense of perspective at all, no sense of how words are twisted in every headline to turn whatever facts are involved against Trump, and that isn't even about what's in the stories.
Here's Pew research:
Pew Study: News Coverage Of Trump More Negative Than For Other Presidents : NPR
Here's another headlin on the subject. I read some of the first link, but nothing of this one, I'm posting it because of the headline.

Re: Every day more comes out. Every day.
It isn't bribery and if there's any quid pro quo involved it's entirely within normal practice, though it's not clear yet that there was any quid pro quo at all since Ukraine promised nothing and still got the aid.
Anyway if there was any corruption involved in the Bibden situation it was quite right of Trump to ask for it to be investigated and since Biden was NOT a political opponent the idea that Trump's motive was personal is totally bogus. He's SUPPOSED to be sure corruption gets investigated especially if aid is to be given.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
I'm sure that many do think Trump xshould be removed from office because they are deceived by the bogus claims of the impeachment machine. All ignorance, people just believing the rhetoric of know-nothings all out of sheer hatred of Trump for his political views. Sad day in America when this sort of fraud on the American people can prevail.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
Even the Pew Research said there was only 5% positive coverage.
In my personal experience I just about NEVER see anything positive about Trump anywhere unless I specifically go to a conservative website.
AND it might be noted, just the idea that there is anything positive or negative about a report that calls itself "news" says a lot about the deterioration of journalism which at one time proudly aimed for completely objective reporting and took pains to eliminate even the whiff of bias in its headlines and stories. Mark Levinn's book "Unfreedom of the Press" reports on the history of how this perspective was lost and gave way to opinion masquerading as news.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
I heard most of that testimony, Percy, it was a remarkable collection of opinion and hearsay, sometimes heard from a person who heard from another person and so on, and then the original person said he just assumed it, he had no facts. There was not one substantive piece of evidence in the entire collection. Somehow you took all that seriously?

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
"Bolton Accuses Trump of Lying" would at least make it Bolton's doing and distance it from the reporter's point of view. But most of the time some unidentified "official" says something negative about Trump and that makes a headline.

Re: Rockets Strike US Embassy in Baghdad
It is Trump who doesn't want to have to use force but they are clearly provoking him, unless we are not getting the right information. I've wondered how he will deal with this situation. Nobody was killed, but it was an act of aggression. I'm sure he's discussing it with his military advisers.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
It was Sondland who said he only presumed it. He offered no direct knowledge of anything.
AbE: My mistake: He did offer the direct evidence that Trump said clearly that he want4ed no quid pro quo.
We need to see that Biden was in fact getting a prosecutor fired because his son was being investigated, and withholding aid until he was fired. This has to come out. Trump is being accused of what Biden actually did but there is no reason whatever to think Trump's motives were personal.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
What you just reported is all hearsay. Wow, you are making that into direct testimony? And Bolton wasn't there, his stuff has been trotted out only now.
And since Trump wanted corruption by a foreign country investigated he was right to withhold aid, except it doesn't seem that any aid was actually withheld. Biden's withholding aid until an investigator into his son's involvement in a corrupt business was fired is what Trump is accused of but it's Biden who was guilty of it.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
Hearsay is bogus and it was all hearsay. Nobody who actually witnessed anything testified. And there was nothing to testify to anyway. The phone call was "perfect," in Trump's word. An unfortunately choice of word in my opinion, hyperbole, but it certainly shows that he had no sense of having said anything wrong. And there were people monitoring the phone call who never said there was anything wrong. All we got was hearsay from people who hate Trump.
The only attempt extortion was done by Biden, Trump did no such thing.
YOUR repetition certainly gets tiresome.

Re: Trump's Tweet in Farsi Much "Liked" in Iran
Yes it is claimed there never was an investigation into Burisma. So? Lots of things are claimed that turn out not to be true, and this is why we need to find out for sure.
