    How is that not obstruction of justice?

    Because Nancy Pelosi is trying to ensure that there is justice, not a sham trial that McConnell has in mind.
     
  3. That's the beauty of America, you don't go to court to prove a "not". Just as you can't vote negative, as in against someone, only for. I don't like McConnell, but he's a very skilled lawmaker and he's very careful about the shit he steps in. He's the epitome of Washington's aversion to rapid decisions. He runs more interference than Obama's entire administration.

    Hahahaaaa! Fucking lol.

    Didn't last election alone proof you can also vote against by voting for someone.
     
  5. Not at all. I was for Bernie, then I saw him take a dive. There was no way I was going to vote for the Clintons. Luckily, I had a non-establishment choice, though less than ideal.

    Which is the same reason I voted for Obama the first time, there was no way I'd vote in McCain. And Obama was too new to be totally corrupted by the establishment. Heck, he was barely wealthy when he decided to run. In Washington you qualify for disabled parking if you make less than 7 figures.

    So? That's just you. Do you really wanna argue that a lot of people who voted, didn't do so primarily from keeping the other candidate out. That is voting against. Just because you can't literally vote against someone, doesn't mean you can use your vote like that. And it has been done massively.

    BREAKING: @SpeakerPelosi says in letter to House Dems that a resolution to transmit impeachment articles to Senate and appoint managers will be brought to House floor next week

    yeah, the whole idea of the current two party system is that you can only vote against someone. 98% of political arguments i've seen in my life basically consist of "vote for this person so the other guy doesn't get elected."

    I would be nice if McConnel stops holding bills and resolution as he had in the last five years. I understand that Trump is now going to invoke Executive Privilege over Bolton. That would make a large number of witnesses even larger. What do you suppose he is hiding? Why is Trump afraid of the American people knowing what took place? Robert Mueller was prevented from investigating Trump's criminal activity by William Barr, who was out to protect Trump. William Barr prevented Mueller from investigating the Deutsche Bank money trail. Several key witnesses were prevented from testifying in the House inquiry, including that Maghan lawyer. Now Bolton will be prevented even though he announced that he is willing to testify. What is the Trump team hiding?

  10. Maybe his laundry list. Do you really want to know what size thong Trump wears?

    I agree with McConnell on one thing, it's about time.

    Something occurred to me. In 2011 Obama had Osama bin Laden killed and he got re-elected. Now Trump has General Soleimani killed, is he thinking what worked for Obama will work for him?

    Yeah, bombing Iran has that effect. His supporters are stroking each other while the rest of us are going, "da fuq?"

    What no one is talking about is impeachment. I mean, he tweeted literal war crimes and still no one can be bothered.

    Trump's like Truman if he set fire to a building in Hiroshima 5 seconds before it was bombed. I guess what I'm saying is big screwups are always dwarfed (or Trumped) by massive fuck ups. Of course momentum has stopped.

    At least for those distracted by shiny objects. The rest of us still know he is a criminal

    Now seems those photos were correct and it was a Russian made missile that brought down the plane in Iran

    So that's twice now in recent years

    I don't think anyone with common sense is going to believe because the Iranians can't train their crews properly, to tell the difference between a passenger jet and a drone, that somehow that's the US's / Trump's fault

    Please have a look at MeAgain's answer to your eloquent comment. At the moment I'm trying to read up on Trump's effort to prevent John Bolton's appearance before the Senate, to answer pertinent questions concerning the very same matter before our nation.

    On top of all that, he's refusing to pull his troops out of Iraq. That's INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIME.

    Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.

    Nobody with a brain is saying the bringing down of that plane is primarily the US's fault, but its fair to state the US have created the circumstances for such a retaliation action to happen. And they did it consciously. They were very aware Iran would feel forced to answer to this retarded action of killing Soleimani.
    I also think you are either underestimating the training of iranian forces or like to put it as if they're a bunch of badly trained hoodlums.

    Except most Americans never heard of Soleimani before he got whacked.
