President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Impeachment for THAT?

 

Paying them back for the help on D-Day, I guess.

 

If she'd said that - I didn't really think about it - that would have been one thing. She didn't. Not really. She tried to say she didn't think she ever disagreed with it despite being in a party that absolutely - vocally - did.

Warren struggles with honesty in that way. It got her with the Native American issue, too. Had to take a blood test, do a mini-documentary, all that, all because a moron challenged her pride. Warren grew up, I suspect, in such unforgiving circumstances and that conceding weakness, or tolerating much criticism, is not a strong suit.

 

It appears as if Yovanovitch is taking Trump to the woodshed if her opening statement is any indication.

 

My desire for a Mayor Pete-Pence debate is less about intellect or ability — though I think Buttigieg would holds his own. It’s about Pence sitting across from a former constituent whose rights he tried to limit and whose identity he clearly does not respect and forcing him to answer.

 

I don't recall the Saudis at Normandy .

 

but if he doesn't respect pence's faith then they are both teh bad people so it's a wash

 

Yep.

With respect to Mayor Giuliani, I have had only minimal contacts with him—a total of three that I recall. None related to the events at issue. I do not know Mr. Giuliani’s motives for attacking me. But individuals who have been named in the press as contacts of Mr.Giuliani may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.

Trump Had Marie Yovanovitch Removed on ‘False Claims,’ She Tells House Inquiry

 

I don’t think it’s contempt. I think it’s an attitude more born of exasperation that we continue to wrestle with that question as a matter of national policy.

They have the same faith, applied differently.

 

One of the many reasons not to use religion as a mechanism for governance.

 

Ex-Ukraine ambassador testifies Trump pressured State Department to oust her


WASHINGTON — Marie Yovanovitch, the ousted U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, told House impeachment investigators Friday that President Donald Trump personally pressured the State Department to remove her from her position, even though a top department official assured her that she had "done nothing wrong."

Yovanovitch said that after she was abruptly recalled from her post in the spring, the deputy secretary of state told her "the president had lost confidence in me," according to her prepared remarks obtained by NBC News.

"He added that there had been a concerted campaign against me, and that the department had been under pressure from the president to remove me since the summer of 2018," Yovanovitch told lawmakers, according to her opening statement.

The career diplomat, who said she was informed of her ouster in April, said in her statement that she was "incredulous that the U.S. government chose to remove an ambassador based, as best as I can tell, on unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives."

 

President Trump: China 'Can' Look Into Biden If They Want

The headline I read was "Trump destroys the GOP's "Just Kidding" theory of his China remarks".


"President Donald Trump was asked if he was “joking” when he said China should investigate former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, replying that China can “do whatever they want,” but it would be “great” if they did.

“China has to do whatever they want. If they want to look into something, they can look into it. If they don’t want to look into it, they don’t have to,” President Trump declared. “Frankly, as far as I’m concerned, if China wants to look into something, I think that’s great, and if they don’t want to, I think that’s great too. That’s up to China.”
