Breaking: Whistleblower's Report is About Ukraine

Even more hilarious if Warren gets the nom.

Do we have proof of this?

OP is false. FF.

No link

and no sources have excluded any country. Only that it is related to Ukraine.

Headline, Washington Post: [bold] Whistleblower complaint about President Trump involves Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter. [/bold]

So suck my dick, R3, your pussy stinks.

Oh, and FF back atcha, R3, you pussy ass bitch.

OP IS SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION. THIRD SHOFT HAS ARRIVED.

THAT REPORT DOES NOT STATE THAT THE CALL WAS WITH UKRAINE. ONLY THAT IT WAS ABOUT UKRAINE.

r3 was on my ignore list already. Must be a huge troll.

“It's not Putin.”

Where is the link for this fake disinformation?

Third shift at it again.

Thread closed.

Trolls are going to have a heart attack over this. Go drink yourself to death you Russian pieces of shit. Eat it. We got the fat bastard now!

I live in California you all caps psycho frau from hell.

Shut the fuck up and get out. Fucking trash.

A whistleblower complaint about President Trump made by an intelligence official centers on Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter, which has set off a struggle between Congress and the executive branch.

The complaint involved communications with a foreign leader and a “promise” that Trump made, which was so alarming that a U.S. intelligence official who had worked at the White House went to the inspector general of the intelligence community, two former U.S. officials said.

Two and a half weeks before the complaint was filed, Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian and political newcomer who was elected in a landslide in May.

That call is already under investigation by House Democrats who are examining whether Trump and his attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani sought to manipulate the Ukrainian government into helping Trump’s reelection campaign. Lawmakers have demanded a full transcript and a list of participants on the call.

A White House spokesperson declined to comment.

The Democrats’ investigation was launched earlier this month, before revelations that an intelligence official had lodged a complaint with the inspector general. The Washington Post first reported on Wednesday that the complaint had to do with a “promise” that Trump made when communicating with a foreign leader.

Um... r8? The link is at r4, dear.

Where is the link for r11?

Can someone link to an article that confirms that the call was NOT with Putin, as OP is implying? Because all I've seen is that the whistleblower's report concerned Ukraine, but I've not seen anything that rules out that the call in question wasn't with Putin.

BINGO R14!

At least someone is paying attention and instead of cherry picking quotes to fan disinformation

OR

Some lightweight idiot skimming an article and rushing to post with zero insight.

[quote] Can someone link to an article that confirms that the call was NOT with Putin, as OP is implying?

Go to Twitter, ,you fossilized asshole. It's all anybody is talking about.

The link for R11 is at R4.

OP made it up.

It's about Ukraine, you fucking idiot. It's been all over the net for at least two hours. Rude Giuliani was on Chris Cuomo's show on CNN talking about it, admitting it.

Not buying it.

Ok, were being trolled by the "OP is FAKE NEWS Troll.

Stop answering her.

It may be ABOUT Ukraine, you fucking moron. But that doesn't mean that the call in question was NOT with Putin. If you can't support your assertion that the call wasn't WITH Putin, then shut the fuck up.

All we know is it involved the Ukraine. We don’t know if the call was to Putin.

It's in the Washington Post, an excellent national paper with a special focus on Washington DC. Buy that.

Ayayay I’m getting Abbott and Costello flashbacks in this thread.

[quote]Go to Twitter, you fossilized asshole. It's all anybody is talking about.

Well, if it's all the rage on Twitter, then it must be true.

Link r24?

There have been rumors for months about the idiot trying like hell to get Ukraine to attack Joe Biden for him. What we didn't know was that the dumb orange son of a bitch did it blatantly on calls to the Ukraine and promised something. The rumor mill says that he promised to send the $250 million Congress authorized if the Ukranian comedian president comes up with something scandalous on Joe Biden's son.

The window for dispersing the $250 million is running out. If it closes it will have to be re-authorized. Ukraine needs it.

Giuliani said that the Trump campaign contacted Ukraine because of Hunter Biden's contract with a Ukranian energy company when Biden was VP. Apparently they were trying to see if VP Biden pressured anyone in Ukraine to stop an investigation into the Ukranian energy company. The question is, was the Trump campaign trying to get people in Ukraine to claim that they were pressured by Biden in return for US foreign aid that Ukraine was due to get.

R27, the link to the Washington Post article is at r4. The first several paragraphs are posted at R11.

If you don't like it, don't read it but do stop pretending it doesn't exist. I can see it, dear.

And rumor has it it was Sue Gordon who was the whistleblower. She was second in command to Dan Coates. Dan Coates actually walked into a meeting Sue Gordon was having and told Gorden she needed to resign. At the time, Coates hasn't left his position but had made it known that he was going to resign in the next few days.

“Intel Inspector General suggested whistleblower had concerns about multiple actions”

MULTIPLE ACTIONS.

Nothing has been excluded. No links that have been provided say anything about excluding anyone as the first sentence in OP claims.

R30, please stop responding to the troll. It's just a thread disrupter.

Go to the other threads on this. They were doing just fine without OPs disinformation.

The source has been outed as a male and you would know that if you were reading the legit threads.

I've read the WAPO article, Miss OP. I still can't find where it says that the phone call was not to Putin as you imply in your first sentence.

agree with r35.

Okay, well that's cool. R34 who is R35 and also R36, go on over to the other, better thread and enjoy yourself.

I'm R35, but not R34 or R36. And OP/R37, you still haven't provided support for your assertion that the call wasn't to Putin.

This is the Ukranian President/Comic. Zelenskiy.

Not attractive but still that's no reason for the fake president of the United States to extort some trumped up scandal out of him in exchange for the $250 million we already authorized to go to Ukraine.

We're just discussing the latest, R38. If you don't enjoy it we are deeply aggrieved.

Please enjoy other threads more to your liking.

Early this morning I read a tweet where someone had connected the dots of events around the time when the complaint was lodged to Dan Coates. So it makes sense if it was Sue Gordon.

The story about Coates walking into the meeting and telling Gordon to resign is not speculation. It was reported on when it happened.

Axios is saying the NYT has confirmed the Ukraine story in the Washington Post.

An alleged promise made between a foreign leader and President Trump recently reported by a whistleblower is said to involve Ukraine, 2 people familiar with the issue said, per a Washington Post report confirmed by the New York Times.

The state of play: On Aug. 12, a whistleblower filed a complaint with intelligence community inspector general Michael Atkinson, which he deemed "credible and urgent within the definition of the law." While the nature of Trump's alleged "promise" remains unclear, he spoke with newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky roughly 2 weeks before the complaint was submitted. Per the Post, that conversation is being investigated by House Democrats.

The House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight committees launched an investigation in early September into alleged efforts by President Trump and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to pressure the Ukrainian government into digging up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, who once served on the board of a Ukrainian gas company.

It's not clear whether there is a connection between the Giuliani investigation and whistleblower complaint.

Here's Giuliani on Cuomo's show tonight

God, Rudy looks guilty as hell just in that still.

Guiltface.

Did you watch the clip?

Oh ho ho! So it WAS extortion against Ukraine and now the fucking weasel's trying to get out of it.

Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration has released $250 million in military aid for Ukraine, U.S. senators said on Thursday, after lawmakers from both parties expressed concern that the White House had held up money approved by Congress.

The money is intended for use by Ukraine in its struggle with pro-Russian separatists backed by Moscow. Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in March 2014.

Some Democrats had questioned whether the administration had withheld the money to put pressure on Ukraine's government to support Trump's re-election campaign by launching an investigation into one of Trump's main rivals in the 2020 U.S. election.

It's not clear whether there is a connection between the Giuliani investigation and whistleblower complaint

Someone is really trying to conflate these two issues.

Don't feed the troll

Coats & Gordon are singing.

Who's the troll, R48?

Dan Coats needs to man up.

I think Dan Coats will man up and Susan Gordon will too.

The biggest irony of all of this?

The big accusation of the 2016 election is that Trump encouraged a foreign power to interfere in our election to his benefit.

Guess what the whistle power is claiming Trump just did?

Of course, he did it in 2016. It’s in his nature.

LOL @ "Dumpster Fire." LOL!!!!

Top 5 Best Nicknames for Trump!!!

This is impeachable, no?

So Trump said he would hold Ukraine money, unless they found dirt on Biden? Something he did to Hillary. Problem is, neither Hillary or Biden are cheating criminals, like Trump is. Trump is such a major criminal, he thinks every one is.

You Trump lovers seem kind of nervous. Don't worry, Barr and Crazy Guilliani are doing their best to protect the filthy lowlife, Trump.

This whole administration takes part in extortion...even McCnnell's wife. Like mafia members, they are experts are criminal activity.

This is impeachable, yes.

And I stole "Dumpster Fire" from Kellyanne Conway's husband George, at least he's the first one I saw using it. Yes, it's perfect.

"Dumpster Fire" is a common phrase that has been around since dumpsters were invented. Sometimes I feel like space aliens post here.

I stole it from George Conway [italic] when he used it in reference to donald fucking trump. [/italic]

Must we explain everything to you, R60, you pedantic twat?

In that ONE call on the 25th, the Dumpster Fire told the Ukrainians EIGHT TIMES to work with Ghouliani on attacking Biden.

heheheheh

We're going to nail his fat ass to the wall for this.

Oh, here before that Bizarro World banshee arrives to hysterically demand links that are right in front of her face...

The WSJ confirmation:

Trump Repeatedly Pressed Ukraine President to Investigate Biden’s Son Interactions under focus amid whistleblower complaint on U.S. president’s dealings with a world leader President Trump in a July phone call repeatedly pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ’s son, urging Volodymyr Zelensky about eight times to work with Rudy Giuliani, his personal lawyer, on a probe, according to people familiar with the matter.

“He told him that he should work with [Mr. Giuliani] on Biden, and that people in Washington wanted to know” if his lawyer’s assertions that Mr. Biden acted improperly as vice president were true, one of the people said. Mr. Trump didn’t mention a provision of U.S. aid to Ukraine on the call, said this person, who didn’t believe Mr. Trump offered the Ukrainian president any quid-pro-quo for his cooperation on any investigation.

Mr. Giuliani in June and August met with top Ukrainian officials about the prospect of an investigation, he said in an interview. The Trump lawyer has suggested Mr. Biden as vice president worked to shield from investigation a Ukrainian gas company with ties to his son, Hunter Biden. A Ukrainian official earlier this year said he had no evidence of wrongdoing by Mr. Biden or his son. Share Your Thoughts

What questions does this raise in advance of next week’s hearing with the acting director of national intelligence? Join the conversation below.

After the July call between the two presidents, the Ukrainian government said Mr. Trump had congratulated the new president on his election and expressed hope that his government would push ahead with investigations and corruption probes that had stymied relations between the two countries.

The White House declined to comment. The Biden campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment. Last week, a Biden campaign spokesman said of Mr. Giuliani’s efforts to pressure Ukraine: “This is beneath us as Americans.”

Mr. Trump on Friday defended his July call with Mr. Zelensky as “totally appropriate” but declined to say whether he had asked the Ukrainian leader to investigate Mr. Biden, a former U.S. vice president. “It doesn’t matter what I discussed,” he said.

At the same time, he reiterated his call for an investigation into Mr. Biden’s effort as vice president to oust Ukraine’s prosecutor general. “Somebody ought to look into that," he told reporters.

In recent months, Mr. Giuliani has mounted an extensive effort to pressure Ukraine to do so. He told The Wall Street Journal he met with an official from the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office in June in Paris, and met with Andriy Yermak, a top aide to Mr. Zelensky in Madrid in August. Mr. Giuliani told the Journal earlier this month that Mr. Yermak assured him the Ukrainian government would “get to the bottom” of the Biden matter.

The August meeting came weeks before the Trump administration began reviewing the status of $250 million in foreign aid to Ukraine, which the administration released earlier this month. Mr. Giuliani said he wasn’t aware of the issue with the funds to Ukraine at the time of the meeting.

He said his meeting with Mr. Yermak was set up by the State Department, and said he briefed the department on their conversation later. The State Department had no immediate comment.

The interactions between the president, Mr. Giuliani and Ukraine have come under scrutiny in recent days in the wake of a whistleblower complaint that a person familiar with the matter said involves the president’s communications with a foreign leader. The complaint, which the Washington Post reported centers on Ukraine, has prompted a new standoff between Congress and the executive branch.

Separately, lawmakers have been investigating whether the president or his lawyer sought to pressure the Ukrainian government to pursue probes in an effort to benefit Mr. Trump’s re-election bid.

[quote]I think Dan Coats will man up and Susan Gordon will too.

I suspect that Ms Gordon will woman up.

Why is it that we STILL think only men can the courage of their convictions?

What bothers me is that none of the pundits mention that there was never any proof that Joe or Hunter did anything wrong. The news people go ahead and act like Joe is guilty of something but no one knows what. As usual Trump will get away with this extortion, because reporters do not stick up for those who are being slandered. Thanks a lot, CNN. Trump plays everyone, per usual.

[quote] Can someone link to an article that confirms that the call was NOT with Putin, as OP is implying?

It's pretty hard to prove a negative, especially since we do not know yet even what this is all about.

But you sound FRANTIC to prove this somehow involves Putin. You've posting a storm about this for the last 24 hours all over Datalounge, and attacking anyone who suggests for even a second this does not involve Putin.

Chill out, Blanche.

Don't watch CNN - home of Frothy Santorum.

This one's got legs. His base is useless, he can - literally - break the law in front of them and they don't care. But to every other voter in America the Dumpster Fire fucked it up this time. Ghouliani fucked it up too.

They can try to cover but it won't work.

He told the Ukrainians EIGHT TIMES in ONE phone call to give him dirt on his political rival. He told them he was withholding the $250 million Congress had already authorized to send them and time was running out for Ukraine.

Good times.

It's a figure of speech R64, don't get your panties in a twist over it for fuck's sake.

Who is reporting the withholding the $250M ...I mean it is obvious but has it been proven or reported?

I know [italic]The Intercept[/italic] isn't well liked here, but this article is one of the best I've read when it comes to explaining the details clearly.

No thanks, R70, no hysterical fucking Intercept stories.

We have the Washington Post, the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and every other respectable news outlet in the world covering this story already.

We understand it. We don't need the Intercept and their baggage.

[quote]It's a figure of speech [R64], don't get your panties in a twist over it for fuck's sake.

And a damn stupid figure of speech it is.

In the event that I feel obligated to wear panties, they are never twisted.

Every time Trump commits a crime, Adam Schiff sends out a fundraising Tweet.

Fucking weak Democrats.

Well, r73, why don’t you get off your fucking ass and do something about it instead of complaining on a message board full of Democrats?

R74 I’m not in Congress, doofus.

You don't understand what's been happening at all, R73, but you will.

Just stay tuned.

He will be impeached in the House. He's FORCING them to do it. Everyone knows that Speaker Pelosi is dead set against it! She's been fighting it while allowing her caucus members to come out publicly in favor of Impeachment in twos and threes every week for months. Wow... what a huge coincidence that the House support would build slowly and deliberately like that - against the Speakers very PUBLIC wishes, and yet she did not make them pay a price for it. Hm.. interesting.

And at the very same time... the Speaker has allowed all the relevant House Committees to move forward when she could have stopped them any old time she wanted. Hm... interesting.

The whole world knows the Speaker is AGAINST impeachment. Think of her House moderates! Think of the election! The Speaker is a cautious and politically prudent person. She's not rushing to judgement - heavens no!

hehehehehe

The Speaker is a fucking BOSS.

A fun piece about her from one of her boss moves last December:

R75, you’re not in Congress but you’re a lazy ass dick just the same.

trump has just announced we're sending troops to Saudi Arabia to protect their oil. I wonder if cable TV will completely drop this story now, because that's what trump is hoping for.

Right R78? Obvious distraction is obvious. It would be almost funny if real lives weren't at stake. How does this orange cunt keep getting away with this shit?

Nope.

Now we're going to Wag the Dog the son of a whore.

Oh, sending in American troops to die for Crown Prince Muhammad bonesaw Sawbones? Really?

Ohhh... he can send them but he isn't going to be able to keep them there or use them.

Let's cut off the money.

He should have sent them as soon as the drones hit, when he had the chance.

Now it's just obvious political cover-up and it won't work on this story.

THIS story is going to run for a while. Extorting and threatening the Ukraine for his personal political gain.

Burn, baby, burn.

Leak, baby, leak.

hehehehehehehe

Vice President Biden released a statement about this:

[bold] "If these reports are true, then there is truly no bottom to President Trump’s willingness to abuse his power and abase our country," Biden said in a statement Friday evening. "This behavior is particularly abhorrent because it exploits the foreign policy of our country and undermines our national security for political purposes. It means that he used the power and resources of the United States to pressure a sovereign nation — a partner that is still under direct assault from Russia — pushing Ukraine to subvert the rule of law in the express hope of extracting a political favor." [/bold]

Asked by reporters after a campaign event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, about reports that Trump wanted Biden's son Hunter to be investigated by the Ukrainian government, Biden offered only a brief comment defending his son.

(Biden walked into a press feeding frenzy after an event, they literally swarmed him and surrounded him outside, all them clamoring at once.)

[quote] “Whoa, whoa, whoa ... wait a second. Not one single credible outlet has given credibility to these assertions. Not one single one," Biden said as he left a nature center where he had spoken at a town hall on climate issues. "So I have no comment other than the president should start to be president.”

Hey OP! I'm the "banshee" that was pressing you about the call not being with Putin. Now that more info has come out, I admit you were right and I was wrong. Kudos to you.

Can we be friends now? I think we're both on the same team.

R77 I’m female asshole.

The whistleblower story is turning into a story about Biden and his fucking son. Biden has too much baggage to make it through the primaries and be the nominee.

R85 thinks Trump has no baggage

Biden's fine. It's not going to turn into a Biden story, it's a FUCKING TRUMP THE CORRUPT TRAITOR story and that's where it's staying. They can try and try but it's not going to work.

There's blood in the water on this one and the press isn't going to let it go. Congress isn't going to let it go. We're not going to let it go.

The Economist is going for the jugular in their very restrained and polite way. The fricking ECONOMIST - that well known bastion of wild eyed liberals! Oh no wait...

[italic] Rudy Giuliani’s Ukrainian adventure

President Trump’s personal lawyer appears to have crossed a line

Editor’s note (September 20th 2019): American newspapers have reported that a whistleblower in America’s intelligence services has complained about an unspecified commitment made by President Donald Trump in a telephone call with a foreign leader, among other actions. At least part of the complaint, they say, concerns Ukraine. This article, from this week’s print edition, explains the background to the deepening controversy connecting America’s domestic politics and Ukraine.

OF ALL THE meetings that will take place between heads of state at the United Nations in New York next week, the one between Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky (pictured), a comedian turned president of Ukraine, may be the strangest. Last month, as Ukraine’s government was trying to negotiate the release of its prisoners from Russia, it received news from Washington. The White House had frozen $250m of military assistance to Ukraine that had already been approved by Congress until further review. The administration set no criteria or time frame for the review. But a month earlier, in a telephone conversation with Mr Zelensky, then newly elected, Mr Trump said he was “convinced the new Ukrainian government would be able to quickly improve the image of Ukraine and complete the investigations of corruption cases, which inhibited the interaction between Ukraine and the USA.” [/italic]

R86 Trump baggage never sticks. All shit sticks to Biden.

Ghoul-iani is almost as bad as Trump

R88 must be a Trump shill because Trump's approval ratings are pretty low. So much for nothing sticking.

[quote] Who is reporting the withholding the $250M ...I mean it is obvious but has it been proven or reported?

Are you fucking stupid? Do you not follow the news? If not, why are you in these fucking threads?

Even CNN reported on it. In fucking August.

R88 Trump still has enough of a base to win in the battleground states.

Really, R88?

Because the way I remember it is that Joe Biden spent 36 years in the United States Senate - no shit was sticking to him. He was Chair of the Judiciary Committee during the Anita Hill Scandal about Clarence Thomas - no shit was sticking to him. He was President Obama's Vice President for eight years - no shit was sticking to him.

And now he's been the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for MONTHS and no shit is sticking to him. We give NO fucks what you freaks say about him. None. We don't care, baby. Hunter? Meh. We don't care what he did.

We like Biden and you can't do a fucking thing about it.

We hate the Dumptard and you can't do a fucking thing about that either.

He tried to extort some fake scandal about Hunter or Biden from Ukraine and Ukraine wouldn't (and won't) do it.

Choke and die, you lying fucking sack and scumsucking pig. Biden wins this one, Dumptard is taking the hit full-on this time. Nobody cares what his illiterate, white supremacist base thinks, they're retards. He can Wag the Dog all he likes, it won't help this time.

It's all about the 'burbs, baby, and we've got them.

Trump has lost the burbs in the 2016 battleground states. He can't hold them.

See you in.... where was Parscale fantasizing about? Oh, right, New Mexico! Hahahahahaha.

Yeah, see you in Santa Fe, babe.

R92 Biden started his campaign apologizing about Anita Hill. He was persona non grata before Obama made him his vice president. Nobody gave a shit about Biden. He already ran for president a couple times and was a loser. He couldn’t even get through the early primaries.

[quote]Dumpster Fire fucked it up this time. Ghouliani fucked it up too. They can try to cover but it won't work.

Uhhhh, where have you been these past two years? We've been living in a nightmare BIZARRO WORLD in which whatever the fat orange fuck does, he gets away with it.

Don't be so sure with this tidbit. It will be obfuscated and then explained away by the GOP, Fox News, and his asshole base.

Vice President Biden spent 36 successful years as a leader in the United States Senate, R94.

He successfully chaired the Judiciary Committee before and AFTER Clarence Thomas.

He spent eight successful years as Vice President of the United States by President Obama's side. President Obama continues to be the most popular politician in America.

If you don't like him, that's fine, support whomever you choose in the primaries. You can't erase his many, many successful years of public service as a US Senator and as Vice President of the United States.

Also, dear, just a heads up that we aren't doing the cannibal thing this cycle. Better luck next time.

Trump and Ghouliani's Quest for Fake "Dirt" on Biden, An Explainer:

(this is an excerpt - full article at the link)

The reporter’s questions to Pence struck at the heart of a controversy roiling U.S.-Ukraine relations since even before Zelenskyy’s election win in April. Starting at least late last year, President Donald Trump and his personal attorney and advisor, Rudy Giuliani, have agitated for Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Biden, the current frontrunner in the Democratic presidential race and the candidate they apparently think could be Trump’s biggest rival for a second term.

Trump and Giuliani allege, contrary to evidence, that Biden improperly pressured the Ukrainian government in 2016 to fire then-Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in the midst of a corruption investigation of one of Ukraine’s biggest gas companies, Burisma Group. Biden’s youngest son, Hunter, was serving on the company’s board at the time.

But the prosecutor, in fact, was the target of pressure by Ukrainian anti-corruption advocates and a host of international supporters of Ukraine, who argued he should be fired for failing to pursue major cases of corruption. And it was the widely known and publicly espoused position of the U.S. government, across a half dozen agencies, that the prosecutor’s ouster was among crucial anti-corruption measures that the Ukrainian government needed to take to move forward economically and politically. As President Barack Obama’s point man on Ukraine, Biden dutifully relayed those messages at every opportunity.

Yet Trump and Giuliani have turned that real-life scenario on its head, falsely alleging that Biden sought to corruptly influence a Ukrainian prosecutor’s decisions in his son’s favor. The Trump camp’s steady volley of tweets, interviews and supportive articles by pro-Trump authors echoes the persistent Republican accusations against Hillary Clinton related to the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on Benghazi, Libya, when she was Secretary of State.

At the very least, because of the complexity of the issue and the again-distant locale, the hammering on the Bidens’ roles in Ukraine could at least serve up enough disinformation to confuse American voters about what really is true. The anti-Biden campaign may be designed in no small part to make voters believe that, as disinformation expert Peter Pomerantsev has said of current-day Russian propaganda, “nothing is true and everything is possible.”

I lived in a former soviet from Oct 1999-Oct 2000. NONE of this is surprising.

[quote] Hey OP!

Uh-huh.

While it's certainly adequate of you to almost acknowledge that you were completely wrong last night, let's take a look at what you actually posted to me and about me and determine if you are, indeed, the sort of person with whom one is "friends" on an anonymous website, shall we?

Ah. Well there we have it.

And you say you are my "friend" today? Umm.... yeah. No.

I'm so sorry, my dear, you are clearly not "friend" material. You're a shrieking psycho cunt from hell who should go lie down for a few years or perhaps permanently.

I don't need or want hysterical psychos on "my side" of anything. You're a fucking liability.

But thanks so much for your non-apology apology, your entire post to me today was.... er.. downright trumptardian in it's weaselly cowardice. Kudos!

Two guys were livid on Chris Matthews' show tonight. Berating the Democrats for a flaccid, wishy-washy response to Trump's egregious acts. They can't seem to make anything happen.

Should Nadler be replaced?

In case anyone missed this in the day's excitement, Speaker Pelosi's comment on the Dumpster Fire's Ukraine/Whistleblower/Extortion scandal:

Pelosi Statement on Whistleblower Complaint September 20, 2019 Press Release

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after reports of a whistleblower complaint filed by a member of the Intelligence Community, which is being withheld from Congress in violation of federal law:

“Reports of a reliable whistleblower complaint regarding the President’s communications with a foreign leader raise grave, urgent concerns for our national security. We must be sure that the President and his Administration are conducting our national security and foreign policy in the best interest of the American people, not the President’s personal interest.

“The Director of National Intelligence Inspector General, who was appointed by President Trump, has said that the complaint is both of ‘urgent concern and credible,’ and its disclosure ‘relates to one of the most significant and important of the Director of National Intelligence’s responsibilities to the American people.’

“The Administration’s blocking of Acting DNI Joseph Maguire from providing Congress with the whistleblower complaint violates the federal statute, which unequivocally states that the DNI ‘shall’ provide Congress this information. If the President has done what has been alleged, then he is stepping into a dangerous minefield with serious repercussions for his Administration and our democracy. The President and Acting DNI’s stonewalling must end immediately, and the whistleblower must be provided with every protection guaranteed by the law to defend the integrity of our government and ensure accountability and trust.

"Chairman Adam Schiff and the Intelligence Committee are to be commended for their strong leadership to ensure Congress is provided all the information so that we can fulfill our responsibility to protect the American people and our national security. We will continue to follow the facts and explore every possible option to ensure the American people get the truth. We would hope that Republicans would join us in supporting the Constitution.”

Also worthy of note, the news programs are covering the Ukraine Extortion Scandal as the Top Story, not the Dumpster Fire sending some troops out to Wag the Dog.

And when they mention this troop deployment, they say WAG THE DOG about it. Hahahahahaha.

Hey OP! It's me again. R83. The guy who admitted to being wrong. After reading your response at R99, I realize that I'm not the banshee you were looking for. None of the posts you listed in your reply were made by me. I'm actually R14. (Put me on Ignore and you'll see.) I assumed you were referring to me because I did keep pressing you to offer support that (at that particular moment in time) it had been confirmed that the call was not with Putin. I never thought I was being a "shrieking psycho cunt" about it, but I've been on DL long enough to know that even innocuous comments can set someone off. So, while I'm not the poster that made the posts you referenced, I still want to admit I was wrong and you were right. And I'm still on the team of the good and just, even if you don't want to claim me.

Your protestation and claim of innocence are duly noted, R103.

We'll see how it goes.

Trump's claims about Biden sound like Uranium One, Pt. II. Watch the idiot Republican base fall for it again.

Of course they will, they're stupid.

We don't care what trump tards believe. They're STUPID.
