Re: The Ukraine Investigation was NOT official
But like rudy and donnie, you have no evidence of this. All you have are rightwing, alt-right conspiracy theories with absolutely not facts to back them.
If you had actual evidence I am sure the GOP would love to trot it out for all to see. You should contact Rep. Jim Jordan with the evidence. Here is his office phone number.
(202) 225-2676
Give him a call.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: The usual twisted ideological hatred misapplied to the good guys
It is hard to keep stories straight when they are all lies. The GOP is learning that lesson right now.

Re: The Ukraine Investigation was NOT official
So nothing. This is the third item I have asked you to provide evidence for your claims. So far nothing. Yes you are a troll.

Faith does not actually read
Remember Faith does not actually read anything. She just listens to biased, partisan and fundie commentary. She has no idea what is actually in the transcripts. If you posted the actual transcripts she would claim she is unable to read them because of her poor eyesight.

Re: Constitutionalism?
Proponents of Constitutionalism are similar to or fellow travelers with Libertarians.
They believe in "for me, but not for thee".
This quote from John Kenneth Galbraith encapsulates the basic philosophy of the modern right movements. I think we can wrap conservatism, libertarianism and constitutionalism all together in one.
quote:
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Re: The Right and Trump's Tax Returns
Yes they do have a legal reason to ask for them.
Federal courts have jurisdiction over the issue. I know you are just troling about this and you know you have no actual argument or evidence to support your BS, but trollers gota trol.
Trump’s Taxes Are Fair Game. Just Ask Warren Harding.
quote:
The final legislation established safeguards against the reckless dissemination of private tax information. As Yin has observed, Congress ultimately choose an evenhanded strategy, refusing to prohibit committees from sharing tax information, but also refusing to mandate that they must share whatever information they gathered.
Moreover, the threshold for determining what was suitable for release was set very low: The committee could share any information it deemed relevant or useful.
The law
quote:
(f)Disclosure to Committees of Congress
(1)Committee on Ways and Means, Committee on Finance, and Joint Committee on Taxation
Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request, except that any return or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure.
(2)Chief of Staff of Joint Committee on Taxation
Upon written request by the Chief of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary shall furnish him with any return or return information specified in such request. Such Chief of Staff may submit such return or return information to any committee described in paragraph (1), except that any return or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure.
(3)Other committees
Pursuant to an action by, and upon written request by the chairman of, a committee of the Senate or the House of Representatives (other than a committee specified in paragraph (1)) specially authorized to inspect any return or return information by a resolution of the Senate or the House of Representatives or, in the case of a joint committee (other than the joint committee specified in paragraph (1)) by concurrent resolution, the Secretary shall furnish such committee, or a duly authorized and designated subcommittee thereof, sitting in closed executive session, with any return or return information which such resolution authorizes the committee or subcommittee to inspect. Any resolution described in this paragraph shall specify the purpose for which the return or return information is to be furnished and that such information cannot reasonably be obtained from any other source.
26 U.S. Code § 6103 - Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute
So you are wrong. Again.

Rural ER rooms
My wife used to be a small town doc. The docs in her clinic coverd the local ER. There were 5 docs on permanent rotation to cover the ER 24 hrs/day, 365 days/year. So she had every 5th ER shift. That meant covering overnight or over the weekend. So about once a week after a full day at clinic she had to spend the night at the hospital to cover the ER. Usually she had the next day off, but if there were vacation or other issues she would still have a full clinic day.
The weekends were the craziest. When she was covering the ER for the weekend she would go in by 8 Saturday morning to cover clinic appointments and then she would be covering the ER until 8 Monday morning.
She is no long with that clinic, this was one of the reasons, but they still just have 5 docs and they still cover the ER so I don't think much if anything has changed.

Re: Civil Debate
I grew up in NE PA and had a lot of family in NYC. I have never heard anyone in our family say anything complimentary about donnie or his daddy.
Fred was always known as a racist, as was donnie. I have relatives(Puerto Rican) that were not allowed to rent at trump properties. In hindsight that was probably a good thing. Racism is long and deep with that family.

Sounds like conspiracy theory bs. Nothing is scheduled that far out. Is he a QAnon acolyte? You will need to get him to explain what he is talking about.

Re: More Trump Attack/Insult Tweets
Sorry, I wrongly assumed it had something to do with the impeachment hearings.
I think the world will be surprised if Horowitz says anything of real consequence. A problem with donnie's supporters right now is that they are fighting yesterdays battles. The impeachment hearings have nothing to do with Mueller and his probe. Revisiting that probe does not help donnie now.
Also, Barr's latest speeches and actions have delegitimized him and everything he is involved with.

Re: Impeachment debacle
Trump did try to extort the President of Ukraine. It is not a lie.
Not the end of discussion, because there are more witnesses to hear from.
Why are you so anti-American? Why are you so against the US Constitution? Why do you support an wannabe autocrat?

But you don't have any evidence or even reasonable arguments as to why you think this guy is the whistleblower do you.
