    Why are we taxpayers still subsidizing this garbage? They call themselves Public Broadcasting when in truth the only public their broadcasting is aimed at is the liberal/progressive/socialist/communist crowd. This needs to stop. It's like paying for abortions.

    So you think Democrats and the whistleblower should be on Trump's list of defense witnesses.

    Trump tweeted on Thursday that he wants to call Schiff, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Bidens as witnesses in his impeachment trial.

    Why in the world do Trump and Republicans want to call Democrats and the whistleblower as witnesses? How can they possibly help Trump's defense?

    I have not heard a Republican explanation for calling such witnesses. You are suggesting it. You tell me how will they help Trump?

    This is why Democrats are so eager to impeach Trump. As you will see, so should Republicans.

    “I would like you to do us a favor, though.”

    This is from the transcript of the July 25 phone call between Trump and Zelensky. It was provided by the White House. The following is a quote from Trump.

    Good because I· heard you had a prosecutor who· was very good and he was shut down and that's really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States,· the woman., was bad news and the people she was dealing with in.the Ukraine.were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, there's a lot of.talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it ... It sounds horrible to me.

    “What you’re describing is a quid pro quo,” asserted the reporter. “We do that all the time,” replied [Trump's chief of staff] Mulvaney. “Did he also mention to me the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely. No question about it. But that’s it. That’s why we held up the money … I have news for everybody: Get over it. There’s going to be political influence in foreign policy.” http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/10/mulvaney-ukraine-get-over-it.html

    After the July 25 phone call with Zelensky, as he usually does, Trump doubled down on the Biden investigation. On Oct. 3, in a news conference on the White House lawn, he called on Ukraine and China to look into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

    “If they were honest about it, they would start a major investigation into the Bidens,” Trump said when asked what he wanted Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to do about the former veep and his son.

    “They should investigate the Bidens,” Trump said. “Likewise, China should start an investigation into the Bidens, because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine.”

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/03/trump-calls-for-ukraine-china-to-investigate-the-bidens.html

    There is no getting around it. It is all well and good that Republicans can say Trump did nothing to cause his removal from office, but if the Republicans in the Senate exonerate Trump, if Trump's fans continue to insist impeachment is a sham, then the Republican Party and Trump's fans are saying:

    A) The President is permitted to ask for foreign interference in our elections to improve his chances of winning.

    B) The President is permitted to use military aid approved by Congress to a country fighting Russian aggression as a means of extortion to compel a foreign leader to comply with his wishes.

    C) To cover up his deeds, the President is permitted to use obstruction of justice.

    D) The President is permitted to ignore Congressional oversight as mandated by our Constitution.

    Is this what the Republican Party wants to be remember for?

    Absolutely. We would like to know when Schiff knew there was a whisleblower and how he was coached and we would like to know how Biden can possibly justify Hunter getting millions without the energy company getting something in return among other questions.

    I quit donating to PBS despite other good program simply due to their socialist news program ran by Judy Woodruff.

    I want the connection that PBS alleges proves the Bidens are not crooked.

    I would court martial any military officer for treason and sedition against our president over talking this way.

    Why does it matter when Schiff knew about the whistleblower? I can answer that, around Sept. 10, maybe a few days earlier. Then, when the Democrat's lawyer questions the witness, the whistleblower spills his beans again. You think that is smart?

    Since time immemorial children of powerful fathers have been hired because of the father. Ivanka and Jared serve as good examples. That is not corruption. It may have been stupid, but people aren't punished for being stupid. So, Hunter gets up there and makes the Republicans look foolish again.

    All that will help Trump? Naw, they won't get called. McConnell won't allow it.

    We want to know why he came forward and whether he was coached among other things. Schiff hasn't been able to keep his story straight. We would like to to know why.

    Kinda weird having to provide that sort of information from two decades ago. It really speaks volumes to how democrats really do ignore history and why they are prone to making the same mistakes over and over!

    Ahh, so that's why is described as Oral sex :wierdface:I dunno, maybe it's just a democrat thing, age thing or lack of thing. But I'm fairly matured and I have always used the slang version "Blowjob" but I have always known that it was also oral sex ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    I hope you understand this is going nowhere. My wish is the senate subpoenas the phone records of every member of the judiciary commitee and their star witnesses . Those ought to be interesting.

    It is the issue in this conversation.

    Here's a tip for you. When you jump into a discussion, why don't you try to understand what it is we're talking about? Not because of us. We all know ya and love ya... But a new member might think something awful about you if they see you doing that.

    No, you're the one that claimed that Clinton was impeached due to a blow job. No one that you have argued against in this thread did. Just you. You want to make it the issue when it wasn't. Clinton committed perjury. Its why he lost his license to practice law even. Funnily enough while Dems rail against Trump for lying and say he should be impeached because of it they defend a person that actually DID lie, to Congress, under oath, and say that it wasn't an impeachable offense.

    Hint: There are Three Branches of government. Trump is using his own and the 3rd Branch. Democrats want to impeach him partially for using the 3rd Branch.

    No it isn't, he was found guilty of perjury, not for having Oral Sex in the White House. Just because you felt the need to redirect with a ridiculous question that everyone knows the answer to doesn't change the narrative of the quote you chose to reply to ;)

    He was!

    For the last time: Because he lied when he said that he didn't get a blow job, and he did! If he hadn't gotten a blowjob, he would have been impeached. I don't know what part it is you are not understanding. I think they shouldn't have asked (or brought up a personal matter). But once he lied, he committed perjury. So I'm not defending him.

    In any case, is there some sort of point you wanted to make that is relevant to this thread? If not that means you are not happy with how the topic of this thread evolved so you are trying to change it. I refuse to help you do that.

    Actually, you were. In post 15. The word "blow job" was not mentioned until then by any other poster or video.


    That is a stupid argument. You might as well blame the impeachment on the Sun being formed out of cosmic dust because if that hadn't happened then we wouldn't be here and Clinton never would have had the blow job which he committed perjury about. It was his choice to lie about getting a blow job. He very well could have been up front and told the truth. Instead he lied. His fault. No one else's.

    You're the one that has derailed the thread into an argument about whether Clinton was impeached because of a blowjob or perjury. So yeah...there is that. Perhaps you should have not posted the first post that got the thread derailed eh?
