Just for shits and giggles...

Gabbard won’t be happy to hear Hillary Clinton’s latest interview. Nor will President Trump or another of Clinton’s 2016 opponents, whom Clinton has now lodged similar accusations about.

In a conversation on former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe’s podcast, Clinton suggested the Russians are leveraging a number of top U.S. politicians. She suggested Russia had kompromat on Trump. She accused 2016 Green Party nominee Jill Stein of being a “Russian asset.” And she suggested Russia might back Gabbard as a third-party candidate.

Thanks.

Still waiting on your evidence that it is common practice for Presidential Administrations to use foreign aid approved by Congress to procure political favors from foreign countries.

I know you have it on hand, just send it on so that we all here can be enlightened.  Thanks!

ex-Special Ops commander says the US is under attack by the president.

No doubt Kid will think that needs more analysis.

Quote
Former Adm. William McRaven (Ret.) argued in an op-ed Thursday that President Trump is "destroying" the United States, warning that the future of the country is "in peril" if Trump is not removed from office.

Operation Bone Spurs was a complete success.

Just ask any of the dictators involved in drawing up the plan.

Mattis had a few great lines at the Al Smith last night - including one about "spurs".

Mattis' performance here is shameful.  Former generals and defense officials are out right now trying to warn the US (the world) of the real dangers Trump posses to our security and Mattis is out doing stand-up.
Unfamiliar with the Al Smith, I take it.

The actions Mulvaney described are not normal. 


Usual US business - under many administrations - yes
No it is not usual US business. Do you ever look behind the Trump administration comments to see if they are even remotely true?

Gabbard already answered Hillary - during the latest debate.

Makes good sense that they are......

All part of diplomacy

But no, I am not going to research that.

We don't trade favors for the advancement of individual or party political objectives. For example, trading prisoners happens. Negotiating to have the prisoners held until after the election so your opponent loses is treason, whether done by a sitting president or a candidate.


Good luck with the prosecution.

So, your argument now is "if we can get away with it, then it is okay to do it."

The prosecution of it will be easy when Trump is out of office. While in office, impeachment and then a Senate trial are the ways to go - and that they seem to be doing.

Mulvaney's words were offensive to plenty of Republican senators and House members, Kid, even if you think it's a nothingburger.

Whenever you think that Donald Trump can't possibly think his supporters are this ignorant and incurious, kiidcarter8 is there to prove that he is actually right.

Kiid has devoted so much of his world view to excusing corruption there is no longer room for anything else.

Kiid has decided he can best end the political experiment that is the United States by being a Judas Goat guiding the American flock into more debased forms of fascism and kleptocracy.

Kiid can’t win in life, but he can try his damnedest to sabotage.
