Please provide a 1st person source showing a direct order from Trump to Bolton to not testify. I won't hold my breath.

One question: Do you understand what Executive Privilege is, the reason it has existed since George Washington and that it has been upheld by courts since the founding of the US?
Fucking REKT

What is the president even privileging? The transcript was out in like a day. Some of the worst members of Congress just want to go fishing and draw this out longer because they didn't make an effective case in the House.

I just don't understand why people get up in arms about politics online, regardless of the side you support. Nothing you do here on CE or any other blog will have any impact. The only "impact" you can do is vote. Plain and simple. Whining about impeachment, policies, or anything related to the oval office will do nothing but waste your own time. It's why I don't pick a side in politics. Why bother?

Even if you go the whole "gather a group of like-minded individuals so your collective voice is louder" route - guess what? The opposition will have a group the exact same size. This country is so divided that you can count on another group being exactly opposite you.

I'm just excited to watch the super bowl and go golf on a championship course next week. Can't wait.

You getting modded for wishing death on people doesn't mean they support what's going on. Surely you're smart enough to grasp that


Nah, like defends like, I know why the mods jumped in.

But I learned my lesson, I won't complain about corruption again, not worth being warned for.

Technically the vote was to hear new witnesses.

And the fact the Dems wanted that speaks volumes on the faith they have in the ones they already called.

not really, since many of those people were subpoenaed by the House during the inquiry, but blocked by the White House and DOJ

there's also new witnesses and evidence that has come out since the inquiry concluded, and new evidence is normally allowed to be introduced in any trial... except one where the jury gets to vote on whether to hear it

You should direct that post to the plethora of countless 'orange man bad' jokes that these guys tend to enjoy over at those night talk shows where they repeat the same joke multiple times a night. Hell, you don't have to hit the road that far, since there a plenty of users here that are doing exactly what you're describing in other currently active topics... you know, the ones you refuse to call out.

When I laugh it's always sincere, so you can take your half-assed assessment elsewhere, thanks.

I mean Democrats are by ignoring an election. Even if you think the Ukraine shit is legitimate it doesn't matter cause before that they just kept coming up with shit with no evidence. So yeah when you cry wolf a bunch that's what is gonna happen. I don't even understand why. Just beat trump on policy. Stop being so over the top radical. It's not appealing to a large audience like they think. If you can't beat Donald fucking trump on policy then you're in trump. But hey keep doubling down. I know both sides are bullshit. Different roads to the same result. Control. I've long since cared. Nothing I can do about it. I'm gonna just enjoy myself instead of always being in 100 percent stress mode like y'all.

Trump tends to do something illegal that would normally get him thrown in jail, like, every week, at a minimum.

There are situations where both sides are bad and all that, but its stupid to cry both sides with someone like Trump, where one side is so obviously much worse.

Well, when the ones breaking the laws and circumventing democracy are also the ones who get to write the laws, you've pretty much only got 3 options:

1. Move. Not an option for some (or most, really)

2. Lay down and take it

3. You revolt, if all political/legal avenues for change fail.

Oddly enough, for a nation that was born of revolt against an unjust empire, Americans sure do love bowing to the elite class. So your likely outcome is option 2

But some didn't, those were crucial votes. And some maybe voted for her but still booed her and criticized her a lot and damaged her reputation/campaign
I voted for her because I could smell the smoke from the Trump Dumpster Fire a mile off, but she ran far from a perfect campaign. Trump at least went into the deeply rural areas and lied directly to their faces. Clinton couldn't even be arsed to go there, and people dont like to feel ignored.

One things for sure, Hilary has way more balls then Trump ever had. She actually attended her trials and didn't pussy out. Multiple trials over Benghazi where 4 American's died, American's that Trump wouldn't feel sorry for because in his own words "they got caught" "They knew what they signed up for" etc.

Trump cultists can suck the slag of the swine they worship all they want, but everyone else can see how far they've moved the goalposts up the guys asshole so they can no longer pull back, noooo they gotta double down forever because... "reasons" so stupid.

The fact of the matter is the GOP is corrupt as fuck, I don't want to hear the "muh both sides" argument because we have direct evidence of a politician coming out and really "sticking it to the man", Democrats have actually moved to remove and convict their own on corruption charges throughout the years, while Trump sucks his thumb in the high tower. 4 republicans was all it took to remove Mitch McConnel but the fucking party lines are that thick for whatever reason. It's absurd really.
