    You really think a recorded meeting needs more monitoring, and you still have nothing on Biden, but feel free to continue the false accusations.

    It states he monitored the phone call. It is written in plain English.

    Yeah, and once again you deliberately ignore the fact the call was monitored which makes your accusation it was all hearsay complete Bs.

    And ladies and gentlemen is what is called a false choice.....................just saying.

    Do I believe we should allow a family to freeze or starve so that you can buy that new iPhone or go on ANOTHER vacation?

    And agreed with the transcript except for one minor word and that there was no discussion of military aid or a quid pro quo or any pressure or extortion and any impeachable offense.

    Whoever told you life was fair or somebody owes you something lied to you. It's time to put your big boy pants on and be responsible for yourself along with everybody else. I don't really care to live in the form of society the collectivist envision. Collectivist fail to see the consequences of their Robinhood mentality.

    When you have to assert someone with a different opinion than you is not responsible for themselves or looking for a handout because of their position, your argument has already failed.

    The society you wish to live in is not America.
    It never has been — and never will be.

    I think it's a pretty fair statement by the Court. If one is going to assert Enoulements, then the House needs to assert it, not just one random member.

    I have little patience for people that post false statements, e.g., "it was all hearsay". All of this is on record.

    How much of the money that Obama made off those books came from taxpayer money?

    That is the difference. Trump is using his position to shovel taxpayer money into his own pocket.

    Nonsense diversion.

    The positions you take, both in this thread as well as on other forum threads, is that we as individuals have a responsibility to the collective. You rely on government to impose these ideologies and agenda.

    When individuals become responsible for others in the name of collectivism, you are in fact pushing off responsibility.

    I am not sure how you can't see that.

    Uh. Actually it is, and in fact operated in that format for several hundred years before collectivism took root.

    At the time of our founding, and for decades we didn't have a federal income tax, no department of education, people where given the freedom and protection of oppotunity only. This idea that we all have a responsibilty to each other, mandated by law, is a newer concept that took root under FDR and has spun completely out of control.

    So when Obama’s State Department forced taxpayers to buy $70,000 worth of his books and he profited off it, how did you feel?

    His resorts are commercial properties. Every time he goes there, many people in the entourage will use resort facilities and services - rooms, meals, golf carts etc. There is NO evidence that he is letting the federal employees use those facilities and services for free, and there is evidence that the resort charges the federal government for them.

    The whole purpose of this lawsuit is to reveal just how much taxpayer money Trump is directing into his own pocket.

    But his supporters think it is a "win" for him to be able to hide that from the American people.

    And?

    The president has an entourage, secret service, aids, advisors, details. You think those costs go away if he went to Camp David?

    So the president isnt allowed to visit his own properties because we all pay for that entourage?

    False

    Correct

    False

    Because I look at society through a prism of social responsibility and the public good and wellbeing of my fellow Americans.

    Right up until the Great Depression, wonder what changed their minds? That y’all want to return to such times is appalling. We were still a growing society prior to this however, but that certainly sped it up.

    Yeh, times we swell when we didn’t have roads, people were dying due to lacking basic necessities, murder and other crimes were just how things operated. You can have all that again by moving to Somalia or some other third world hell hole. We will go to war with you before you are allowed to recreate this warped fantasy
