  1. How about Mueller. You should like that, he's good at finding nothing.
  2. Yes. What Ukrainian source would you go to?
  3. As I said in the post you quoted... "Trump and Giuliani aside".
  4. The Ukrainian government has not been clean since, well, forever. I would not expect a member of the current pro-US parliament to talk openly about Biden at this time without risking their life. That is why I would like to see an investigation where people are questioned under oath and the actual books are examined.
  5. You should be suspicious of it. But there is enough people with credentials (Trump and Giuliani aside) making accusations, that I believe that an investigation is warranted.
  6. It's available from many sources on the internets. Google can be your friend too. https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/press-conference/617936.html
  7. Just the quote by the Ukrainian MP.
  8. Many progressives see Trump as a symptom to the problem, and the real problem is the DNC. The Democrats should be the party of the people, but they are not. Their establishment talks the talk, but they have become even more pro-war than and as corrupt as the Republicans. Impeaching Trump and Pence will do nothing to solve the problem, it will just recreate the situation that created Trump. Most of the 2020 Dem candidates are now stepping back from Single Payer M4A. With the Democrats in power, there will some minor incremental improvements in some areas, but overall things will get worse. Look at Obama's foreign policy record. Our allies loved the guy and for some reason he was given a Nobel Peace Prize, but he escalated Afghanistan, started drone killings in Pakistan, reshuffled the troops in Iraq (he ended nothing), started wars in Libya, Syria, Yemen and Ukraine, and allowed a right wing School of the Americas coup in Honduras which has heightened the refugee crisis at our border. So yes, I am more critical of Democrats, because I expect more from the party that should represent the left. There is not much to gain by criticizing Trump, because no sane person should have positive expectations of the Republicans. If the DNC did not cheat in 2016, we would not have a President Trump. And it appears that the DNC is hell bent on cheating again in 2020. If this is bad faith discussion to you, then you can "Vote Blue No Matter Who" and hope for change you can believe in. But you will probably be disappointed again despite no more Trump. And after a few more years of incremental circling around the toilet, you will get another Bush, Trump, or even worse. And now you can believe Nancy Pelosi, John Brennan, Hillary Clinton, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, John Bolton and even Pat Robertson, that despite being wrong about everything in the past, bipartisan support for continuing our war in Syria is a good thing. Lastly; the latest "Republican talking point" has Joe Biden receiving $900,000 in lobbying fees from Burisma.
  9. You are absolutely incorrect. So many people like yourself are locked into the mostly left / mostly right agenda, that you can't comprehend that some people despise both sides. It is possible to hate Trump and believe that Biden is also corrupt without being a troll.
  10. Nothing can discredit that community more than they did to themselves with the Iraq misinformation.
  11. A big nothing burger, but it did give us a new cold war.
  12. I had called CNN and MSNBC fake news long before he did, so did I retroactively repeat his talking points?
  13. You won't find out, because you are blocked.
  14. I have called Trump an orange anal wart at least a half dozen times, described him as corruption incarnate, and posted in support of the impeachment inquiry. I guess that wasn't strong enough to be on record as someone who does not support him. Regarding Russiagate...
  15. One last comment, since it is not specifically about Ukraine. It is about the difference between a progressive and a neoliberal, and why progressives know that Russiagate was a load of crap. 1) Hillary lost because she was a s#!tty candidate who ran a terrible campaign. Everyone knows that the DNC (legally) rigged the primary so she would win, they have admitted it in court. The DNC refuses to admit how terrible she was and how rigged the super delegate process is, so they blamed Russia instead. And the neoliberal base bought it. Progressives believe that the primary was stolen from Sanders , and want to see real reform. Instead we got token reform, and the DNC and alligned media are up to their old tricks again. 2) Progressives are generally anti-war, and neoliberals are pro-war. The Democrats have surpassed the Republicans as the party of war. back in 2014 Glenn Greenwald wrote that many neoconservatives started crossing party lines to the Democrats once it had been predetermined that Hillary Clinton would be the nominee. She pushed for no-fly zones in Syria and Ukraine (gauranteed to start hot wars) and wanted to further arm Daesh in Syria. She lost, but Russiagate did give the arms industry the cold war that they wanted.
  16. We need an investigation where people answer questions under oath, and the accounting books can be reviewed. Or we can keep throwing s#!t at each other from people with vested interests. Note: I am done commenting on this topic.
  17. It was a nothing burger, but the Democrats did get the cold war they wanted. Either they were charged, or they weren't. This isn't horseshoes where close to the stake matters.
  18. I said that there was smoke (see above), and where there is smoke there is often fire. My statement was that based on the above, there should be an investigation.
  19. Two plus years... and it was a big fat nothingburger.
  20. So in other words... a routine communication.
  21. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2019/04/ukrainian-prosecutors-why-doesnt-the-u-s-dept-of-justice-want-our-evidence-on-democrats.html
  22. 1) I honestly did not know who Ben Shapiro was. 2) Trump is an orange anal wart, he needs to be sent away.
