I will always think infrastructure could have avoided this mess. Dems came to the White House ready to talk, Trump said you can't do that and investigate me too. One or the other. If Trump had gone ahead with infrastructure building, he would have been a hero to more than his solid base. He could have taken the lions share of the credit for that. If he had really made a plan to replace Obamacare he could have been a hero there too. Those two things would have helped all average Americans a lot. Besides a lost chance for Trump and the Dems, it was a lost chance for the country. andthen seems offended by resistance; he must have forgotten McConnell's boast about making sure Obama got nothing done. Now personally, I see a lesson there. When a president like Obama or Trump is only a charismatic figure to his base and can't build a bridge and compromise with the other side, not much of the people's business gets done. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't. He was fond of saying - "I won, remember?" He never tried to get a budget approved, just threatened to shut it down if the spending he wanted wasn't agreed to. Your analogy isn't just weak, it's actually a lie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer77 Posted October 9, 2019 #1928 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Trump throws out completely bananas argument for ignoring impeachment — and basically acting like a king Quote At base, there are so many bogus claims in this letter that it’s almost difficult to wrap one’s mind around. One problem is the White House seems to have literally zero grasp of what the Constitution even says about the impeachment process and the differing functions of the House and the Senate regarding removal of a president.

You were triggered by the mention of Obama and thought I was going to say something good about him. 2 hours ago, and then said: When a president like Obama or Trump is only a charismatic figure to his base and can't build a bridge and compromise with the other side, When a president of the United States for example Obama or Trump is only a charismatic figure to his base... that means Obama was only charismatic to a subset of democrats and Trump is only charismatic to a subset of republicans and neither one of them compromised with the other side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer77 Posted October 9, 2019 #1930 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Graham plans to invite Giuliani to testify on Ukraine affair A small part of me wonders if this is how Graham plans to get the GOP out from under Trump's thumb. Of course it looks like he's helping to investigate the Bidens by putting Rudy on the stand but damn he has to know the dude is unhinged and liable to say damn near anything when questioned , by either side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer77 Posted October 9, 2019 #1933 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Ambassador to E.U. called Trump before texting 'no quid pro quo' to top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine Quote Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland consulted directly with President Donald Trump before telling the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine that there had been "no quid pro quo” regarding the administration's pressure campaign on the country and urging the diplomat to stop texting about his concerns, a person with knowledge of the call confirmed to NBC News. Sondland spoke to Trump by phone on Sept. 9 before responding to acting Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor's remark that it would be “crazy” to link Ukraine assistance to help with a political campaign, the person said. When Sondland responded several hours later, he told Taylor that Trump had been “crystal clear” that there had been no quid pro quo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm expecting you to understand anything that I've just mentioned above. You'd have to get over your Trump withdrawal symptoms before you start rationalising in a normal state again LOL. The Left....i.e. ...Tyranny...actually is the normal state...pretty much from the beginning of civilization. Tyranny invented Socialism. Freedom invented Capitalism. The Left seeks to enslave. The Right wants people to be free. One cannot be Pro Socialism and Pro Freedom at the same time. Trump is Pro Capitalism and therefore Pro Freedom. That's why we love him.

+joc Posted October 9, 2019 #1937 Share Posted October 9, 2019 That's pretty close to idiotic Farmer. How about staying on topic. Sharing is not Socialism and you know it. It's called freely giving to each other. Socialism must TAKE...and it must TAKE from the producers and distribute to the non-producers...thereby enslaving the producers.

From your point of view it certainly is, since it points out how bizarrely stupid is the trap in which you fell. By the way, you're off topic. The topic is Trump extorting favours from Ukraine, with intention to gain personal advantage over his political competition. Sane Americans say that's against your Constitution. How can you live with that? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
