SERWIN + 749 SE December 12, 2019 26 minutes ago, Dan Warnick said: The House of Representatives started the impeachment process/circus based on the so called "Steale Dossier", which, it is now known, was the sole basis for the initial FISA application. Before the renewal of the FISA was requested, it was proven that the Steale Dossier was meritless, at best, and an outright lie at worst. They went ahead and illegally renewed the FISA as they lied to the court in order to get the extensions (3 of them!). As such, the process and investigation into the Trump administration should have been shut down. The President knew these facts, as did his legal team, and therefore did not see it necessary to cooperate with an illegitimate investigation. Testimonies in front of the Democrat majority Intelligence Committee (I know) contained no fact witnesses; only theoretical professorial witnesses; no facts. Circumstantial outpourings; no facts. Any decent lawyer would have advised a 5th amendment or stalling approach to wait for the results and release of ongoing investigations. Any court in the land would allow for lengthy delays given those same ongoing investigations. The Democrats wanted to ramrod their hearings through in 1 WEEK! They also did not say what charges/accusations the president or his people were to testify about or defend against. The ball kept moving and is still moving to this day. What was found was a great big Nothing Burger. Therefore, you are right, there was no obstruction of Congress; only an obstruction of circus. And now when this goes to trial, the Republicans can start asking some real questions, like how did Helliary get away with a security breach for so many years, with physical proof that it happaned, and why wasn't she arrested for destroying the evidence? Just further proof that when the Demonrats are saying that no one is above the law(meaning Trump) that they do believe that they are above the law. 2 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and most other posters in this thread consistently avoid the facts and they do not include "Helliary" as despite the chants for lock her up the only people locked up so far have been associated with the Present which tells the average person that there is a problem that needs to be nipped in the bud. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What facts would those be, the ones that I and most other posters are ignoring? I also find it unseemly to use derogatory names apparently to belittle people (Helliary, et al), but that is those people's business and I won't intrude on their right to do so. Hillary may well see her day in court, now that the major Justice agencies are revisiting their true responsibilities to the citizens of the United States, although I doubt highly that she will ever see herself in prison garb. It's a shame, really. On your final assertion about "the only people locked up so far have been associated with the Present (sic)", if you would be so kind, could you please list the crimes those individuals have been locked up for? It is a pesky detail, I'll admit, but it is also telling. It would be helpful if you could also list when the accused/convicted were said to have committed their heinous acts. Just a simple before/after Trump's election victory will do if you don't have time to find exact dates and so forth. Oh, and could you explain Trump's guilt by association to those people? I mean, if their crimes were in service to their master it would seem to follow that the master would have joined them in the gulag by now. 2 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please enlighten us. You'll have to check dates. I'll leave it with you. If the FISA was baseless, it would not be granted an extension. There's a little thing about taking the bait. For example, if a policeman/woman pulls you over and says "I'll let you go if you promise to stop speeding while doing lines of coke in the future", it would probably behoove you to plead the 5th and not allow a search of your car. And which witnesses, that were on the call, any of the calls, or in the relevant meetings, testified? I don't know everything and neither do you (sorry, I'll presume). I think that is the point, from both parties and most of the participants in this circus we call Government. Sorry I won't be around to debate with you day after day after day after day as I just dropped in for a visit today. If the whole government, the whole country and the whole world can't come to agreement on these details, I doubt you and i will have much luck coming to agreement either. Chin up, Hillary might just win yet! Cheers. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds like theft to me, and I'm sure the value of the material warrants at least a felony charge.

The bot is actually a high-level AI algorithm, finely tuned by Chinese military propaganda agencies to come across as uncannily human. It gives itself away with its sentence structure; bots are not capable of that at this point in development. I think management here is just not paying attention. Either that, or Selvedina finds it personally amusing, who knows. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have refused to get drawn in by the bot's defamatory postings about me. Tom, who posted a "popcorn" meme after the bot's last attempt, was disappointed. My issue is that lots of lurker readers here do not grasp that this is a Chinese-military propaganda bot, so I do point that out regularly. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am so tired of all the news, all the time, being about Trump (Give Boris some credit for stealing a few minutes!). The left can't stop writing about him and the content of everything they produce on TV is about Trump and their crusade to install the rightful Hillary (dare I say it). "Weather today here at WKRP is, except for the Trump tweet this morning, clear with a chance of......". Get a life people. Sooo Muuuuch whining (Is it whinging, to our friends on the other side of the Atlantic?). I actually live outside the States and filter as much of the news as I possibly can, but there is no end to it.

I, specifically, do not echo Mr. Trump, and I am not convinced he is a good executive for the USA. Moving past that, I look at results, and grant you that he is accomplishing what the Clintonistas are congenitally unable to do: reshape both America and the World Order. Trump is bringing back US heavy industry, and is also bringing back lots of manufacturing. Do have to give him full marks for that. The Clintonistas were and are totally content with the idea that US manufacturing and heavy industry stays permanently shut down; it is part of their elitist snobbery that the people who work in those industries are "the deplorables." It is a particularly malevolent, contemptible mindset. 1 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
