    False.

    Trump was asking Ukraine to fight corruption at all levels.

    Now he has evidence. Once again, Trump was telling the truth and his enemies were lying. Seems to be a pattern since he was elected. Actually, since he started his run for the Highest Office.

    Is there any way that we could give Puerto Rico back to Spain? And if that they didn't go for that, how much would we have to PAY Spain to take this economic 'black-hole' off our hands...?

    A lot has, uh, changed since 1898, and the truth is that we need Puerto Rico like we need a tapeworm in our national guts....

    There used to be a fairly active 'independence' movement in Puerto Rico at one point -- is that group still active? If so, we should encourage them!

    That's not in the transcript.

    The transcript says that he wants a favor, and the favor is about looking into his political rival. I dunno how this can be false. It's a historic fact. lol

    You posted this and actually don't know what is in the transcript. The word "favor" is NOWHERE near any mention of the Biden's.

    Perhaps you would like to read it yourself and not make that embarrassing error ever again. What you just spouted off was CNN, Adam Schiff, MSNBC propaganda that has been debunked repeatedly.

    You're welcome.

    Maybe we should offer to give Puerto Rico to Venezuela! Those countries probably have a LOT in common....

    Donald asks for the favor on page 3. The Ukrainian replies just ones! And than Trump mentions Biden.
    "nowhere near"... lol

    So why should we bend over backwards for them the next time they fall into crisis? Seems like we’re being taken advantage of. When they complain about needing food and water maybe we can tell them we’ve already sent it. It’s sitting in a bunch of containers rotting in the sun you duchebags!!!

    And by the way, Trump predicted this:)

    Just as I thought, you totally bought the Leftwing propaganda. You don't even know that that the word "favor" is paragraphs removed from any mention of Biden and multiple topics in-between. You Leftists inferring and making crap up thinking it's reality is strange.

    You also cannot comment on the actual thread topic which is pathetic.

    The transcript shows that he wants Ukraine to look into Crowdstrike, the server, the 2016 election interference and the Biden's.

    Trump wasn't asking Ukraine to investigate a political rival for personal gain.

    It's sourced form the https://www.whitehouse.gov site.
    That's not left wing propaganda, buddy.
    It simply is the transcript.

    That means nothing and is permissible. There is no "favor" mentioned anywhere near the Bidens. Trump withheld and delayed aid from: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central America, Lebanon, and more. He had ordered a complete review of all Foreign Aide nearly two years ago for abuses.

    You actually believed all the Left wing propaganda, before ever hearing any of Trump's Defense. That's the problem with the Left, they consume Adam Schiff dripped propaganda, leaked from secret underground interviews. You made up your mind before ever giving the other side a voice. You thought Schiff denying Trump's lawyers from being able to question witnesses was a good thing. Now you have to deal with the consequences of your knee jerk belief that is being destroyed as of Saturday. The worse part is that you believe there was anything illegal about the call with the Ukrainian President, because CNN told you so.

    Why did you edit my post?

    That's against forum rules.

    Trump mentions Crowdstrike, server and election interference before he even mentions Biden. Period!

    We need to let Puerto Rico be their own country. End the ridiculous commerce laws we have over them.

    OK -- let's give Puerto Rico its own INDEPENDENCE... anything just to get rid of this damned 'boat anchor' around our neck.

    It's an anchor around their neck. All shipping forced to mainland U.S. before it can go to P.R. The costs are astronomical. We can give them aid and ween them off slowly as they grow. They will do fine.

    OK, sounds like you know the situation better than I do. I'm for anything that gets them OFF our backs. We never should have taken PR away from Spain in the first place!

    They cannot import anything that doesn't go through mainland U.S. first. It makes everything extra expensive. It's called the Jones Act and it's been there for decades holding them down.

    Well, then f*ck the 'Jones Act' and the horse it rode in on! A thing like that reminds me of what made American colonists so mad at England right before we threw the tea in the harbor and declared independence. I'm not kidding....

    Trump asks for a favor. The Ukrainian president gives a reply back. And than Trump talks about Biden. You can find it in the transcript. So that makes it right after asking for that favor. Your claim it's not anywhere near,... total joke.

    You disagree, but you claim the same thing.
    I'm sticking to the point
    ^^
    That's not relevant.
