bass4funk: The only Law Professor with the legal skills experience and deep intelligence and calmness to tell the Democrats: you guys are idiots and you are all digging a hole for yourselves that you won’t be able to climb out of.

Well even you said Trump acted improperly and showed poor judgement. It's not all that shocking that an investigation would happen under those circumstances, is it? Obviously you thought he did something wrong.

You might have the numbers to win, but it doesn't mean you're on the right side of the law or history. You just see an opportunity to get away with it.

Blacklabel: And no, he did not put himself before country. 

Alrighty.

3 weeks early.

No.

By reading the written statements of the witnesses, which you said you did, it was brought up that there was great concern about losing the money because if it hadn't been paid by September 30 it would be lost from the budget and gone forever. That was the last day it could possibly be sent, not the due date, and certainly not the date where anything before that is early.

The money had been cleared to be sent and Trump personally held it up and gave no explanation as to why to anyone, not even the Pentagon. He was even advised that he could potentially be sued if he didn't send the money since it would be essentially ignoring Congress' ability to authorize spending. The story broke, and Trump sent the money. Not early, but much later than necessary, narrowly missing the expiration date which you refer to as the "due date."

Can you share with me the link to the article where you got your misinformation?

Serrano: https://thebl.com/politics/president-trump-secures-130-billion-in-new-nato-defense-spending-the-largest-increase-in-a-generation.html

And I think that's great. Trump convinced NATO members to add more money to their own defense budgets....which they've already been doing since 2014 when Obama was in office because they already agreed to do it. It's been a straight line up since then. But congrats to Trump for not screwing it up I guess?

When will Trump announce a deal won't be made until after the election like with China? That was he can recycle the same platform as the first election....except he will tell us he'll really get it done this time.

Blacklabel:. make fun of a 13 year olds name in Congress? Yep go for it!

I seem to remember quite a few high 5s and fist pumping when we learned Trump cheated on his wife while Baron was an infant, all because "she was hot ". But I'm sure Baron will be scarred by having his name used as a pun.

Prove it, then you may have something.

But to confirm, you agree that Trump put himself before country, right? You can argue like a paid lawyer to get your guy off, but it doesn't mean you think he's innocent.

And may I ask where your standards of proof go when you are talking about things like birtherism, Seth Rich, deep state, MSM collision, voter fraud, and spying on Trump? I believe you said accusations stand until disproven in those cases.

Chip:. Except the fact witnesses from the public hearings that were previously held.

Schiff and the witnesses did such an amazing job it forced Trump and his fans to abandon reality. They couldn't counter articulate patriots, couldn't smear them, couldn't call them Trump haters....so they just entered s state of psychosis where Trump was suddenly exonerated by their testimony.

The GOP. Party before country.

Well it's obvious he broke his oath to the country. It's not like we need a Harvard Law School professor to tell us that. He put his own gains before country to benefit himself personally because that's the type of man he is.

I'm guessing a lot of world leaders laugh at Trump, just like they did at the UN.

Blacklabel: Yes IF you can prove that’s what happened. You can’t.

Everyone knows that's what happened. Are you here to say that Trump is innocent? It's the question you won't answer because you'll either have to humiliate yourself by promoting an obvious lie by Trump or you'll have to stand up to Trump, which you don't have the spine to do. You're not that type of man.

Either way you lose.

“Let’s be serious,” Macron responded. “Your number one problem are not the foreign fighters.''

It's strange to me that Trump keeps spreading the falsehood about the number of foreign fighters from Europe involved in the conflict. In this interview he said, "Many are from France, many from Germany, and many are from U.K. They're mostly from Europe".

Trump fans: Has Trump not been told these people are actually a tiny minority, or do you think he's making up his own reality on the spot which he wants to believe?

Democrats accuse Trump of abusing power, obstructing impeachment probe

Accuse? Everyone knows that's what he did, even Trump fans. Republicans just want to see him get away with it because losing a President would be too damaging for them.

Party before country.

You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

Bass: zero sanction relief

Fake news. Trump cancelled new sanctions.

Because all of the other trade wars are really paying off.

but most news organizations don’t announce their biases so publicly

Trump should get his victim card laminated.

Bass: but soon we will know why a dishonorable discharged drug user would be allowed to make that kind of money with zero experience.

Great. Knock yourself out. Graham could start his own investigation tomorrow if he wanted as chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

But he doesn’t. And he won’t. If you’re smart you can tell me why. Or just make up a reason on the spot.

Blacklabel: I don’t see anything wrong with investigations into potential corruption. “No one is above the law” even presidential candidates and their crack addict son making money in a foreign country.

Huh? Are you talking about Hunter Biden when asked if Trump acted appropriately, as if you actually believe his excuse? I didn’t ask for the opinion of a lawyer paid to spout BS for his client, I asked about your personal opinion. Heck, even bass says he acted inappropriately. You agree.

As far as the IG I expect it will be worded very trickily

Huh again? You told us to wait for the bombshell report and now you’re attacking it’s credibility? I guess that means you’ve accepted the fact that the report that was supposed to be your savior will be a dud....just like the last one....just like I predicted.

Trump has built some magnificent buildings, some of them even being financially viable. But he is horrendous with negotiations at this level.

by Jan return all their supposed momentum will be gone and most people moved on

Is it OK for Trump to do the things he did? I say no. Bass says no.

Blacklabel: With the IG report on the 9th

Will it confirm Trump fans’ theory about a deep state working secretly against Trump along with the top echelon if the FBI in a coup to overthrow a duly elected President? Will it confirm that the investigation depended on a trumped up FISA driven by Democrats and the salacious Steele dossier? Will it confirm that Trump was spied on? Will it confirm Strzok went rogue with an “insurance policy” and tried to frame Trump?

It’s best if you don’t confirm any of your theories at this point. The last thing you want to do is look like you got duped into believing anything above.

who are likely to want subpoenas compelling testimony from Hunter Biden

Why would Hunter Biden have information about Trump’s behavior in Ukraine? Makes no sense at all to call him as a witness.

I think it’s not getting worse in the sense Kim is strapped for cash

They've always been strapped for cash as all Presidents have applied sanctions. Trump is the first to apply sanctions relief. Sanctions are the easy part.

As you know I supported dialogue in the beginning as a chance to get some kind of breakthrough or movement, but Trump just hasn’t been able to negotiate anything after 2 meetings.

It’s not surprising to see someone else stand up and take the reigns of NATO since Trump has created a leadership vacuum. Our influence in the organization just got reduced.

Asakaze: Nice example how the fat cat bureacracy tries to save its hefty paychecks

Nice example of a Russian giving low education Trump supporters talking points. The sad point is that the low education Trump supporters will follow the Russian.

Trump has been a failure on NK and the situation is getting worse.

They’ve developed more powerful short range capabilities to attack US forces in Korea and Japan with impunity. Trump’s “negotiating skills” haven’t gotten us an inch closer to a nuclear agreement. They are still a million miles apart.

In return for their belligerent behavior Trump has praised them, given in to their demands to cancel war games, alienated China as an outlet to apply pressure, rolled over on the murder of an American citizen, and has given them sanctions relief.

NK won’t be changing their behavior as long as Trump is President. He’s being taken for a ride.

Bass: Are you Adam Schiff now? Lol

Well you said he used poor judgement and what he did was inappropriate. Was it because he put his personal interests before country? Because he withheld aid? Because he wanted dirt on a political rival? Because he wanted info about a debunked conspiracy theory to get Russia off the hook?

Onvioisly theres a reason why you feel he used poor judgement and acted inappropriately. What was it he did to make you think this?

Bass:. The call was in a way inappropriate

In what way?

The group psychosis of the GOP and Trump fans is fascinating. Fox is reporting that the Republicans easily ran circles around all of the witnesses and Trump was exonerated.

Obviously some know it was bad and need to say that to influence others, but I'll bet they will successfully convince the lower educated people that what they saw and heard never happened.

They will repeat the lie so much it will become true in their minds. Even the ones who said they don't like what Trump did will change their tune eventually.

Bass: “ I presume”

You yourself said Trump used bad judgement. What did you mean when you said that?

President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, called the president this week to reassure him that he had been joking when he told media outlets he had "insurance" if Trump turned on him in the Ukraine scandal, Giuliani's lawyer said on Wednesday.

What a strange world they live in where this is necessary.

Trump has been complaining

Get that victim card ready again.

She should go back to where she came from.
