I'm honestly surprised the transcript is even worse than I thought. WTG Bob Barr you're really killing the game lately.

It just dawned on me that Trump is Reese & Hillary is Malcolm

No, it's the memo that's 'deeply troubling', 'troubling in the extreme'. He himself remains untroubled.

Hmmm… The White House just sent its talking points on Ukraine to House Democrats.

Here are some screenshots, per source. pic.twitter.com/VvNAaqKP3D

Source says the White House just sent a follow-up to “recall” the email to House Democrats containing talking points...

i'd be delighted to see Barr get eaten by this too.

I would like to thank @WhiteHouse for sending me their talking points on how best to spin the disastrous Trump/Zelensky call in Trump’s favor. However, I will not be using their spin and will instead stick with the truth.
But thanks though.

Sticking with the truth, huh? Yet another example of the 'Deep State'.

They accidentally sent an email to Democratic members of Congress?

i mean for how long have we read the the WH is an understaffed disaster? surely something like this will send them into a tailspin like no other.

Zelensky with two Ys in the shamscript invalidates the whole thing as evidence sorry.

Zelensky, Zelenskiy, Zelenskyi and Zelenskyy are all fine but he has decided to make the latter the official one. There is not any great logic behind it afaict.

I don't know why the WH is doing anything other than maxing and relaxing given the fact that the president cannot commit a crime. This is 'What, me worry?' time, bros!

Welcome To My Lifemare (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 25 September 2019 16:58 (four years ago) link

Trump’s name transliterated into Ukrainian and back is Donald Tramp so the Zelenskyy confusion could be worse.

so anyone unsure on whether or not Trump did anything improper with the Russia stuff has got to be convinced now, right?

frogbs, Wednesday, 25 September 2019 18:08 (four years ago) link

"doing anything improper" is not the same as "confessing to and trumpeting your crimes"

I'm more concerned with the morons in my local newspaper's comments section who are all braying "This is all the Dems have? What a nothingburger!" xp

I asked Attorney General Barr in May: did the White House ever ask him to investigate anyone? He wouldn't answer.

Barr needs to come back to Congress and answer that question again. Under oath.

This time, he better have an answer. https://t.co/ybObJ1GC53

Wrong, frogbs. I heard from Barr, Trump, and Hannity that it was a nothingburger, that the president had been totally exonerated. No collusion. It was a partisan witch hunt and a distraction.

So what if lots of panty-waist libtards think "the Russia stuff" is incriminating? They're just mindless sheeple who only believe what they're told by their biased fake media.

Instant Carmax (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 25 September 2019 18:18 (four years ago) link

^ Posted only to point out that this is what you're up against when you try to argue from how supposedly self-evidently guilty T. is.

And loads of people hear two directly contradictory interpretations of the same information, so they shrug. "Eh. Who to believe?" Both sides do it etc.

Instant Carmax (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 25 September 2019 18:20 (four years ago) link

One of the finer points that needs hammering home is the fact that he lacks the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong, legal from illegal. As indicated by his baffling belief that today's memo somehow exonerates him. If he acts within the law, it's entirely incidental, as he's amply demonstrated he will always place expedience before propriety and always insist that he was in the right because how could an action perfectly in line with his desires possibly be otherwise.
