US PoliEra 2019 |OT8| WHITE HOUSE ADMITS TO QUID PRO QUO WITH UKRAINE
- Thread starter TheHunter

From the upcoming book Profiles in Courage: With furrowed brow and hesitation, Jeff Flake nevertheless decided to vote NO to impeach Donald Trump. "I was highly disturbed, but I voted not guilty anyway", he said.
1) "I didn't read the whistleblower report."
2) Runs away
3) Is "disturbed", but won't say anything else.
Possibly all of the above.

People really need to push back on the "Europe doesn't give Ukraine money" schtick. They give 11 times more than the U.S.
We don't even need them published at this point, just released to House intelligence.
My fellow Republicans, it is time to risk your careers in favor of your principles. Whether you believe the president deserves impeachment, you know he does not deserve reelection.
Our country will have more presidents. But principles, well, we get just one crack at those. For those who want to put America first, it is critically important at this moment in the life of our country that we all, here and now, do just that.
Trust me when I say that you can go elsewhere for a job. But you cannot go elsewhere for a soul.
Honestly, if Biden doesn't get the nomination, all of this energy wasted on him is going to be hilarious
I actually don't think they're scared or even care if I'm being honest. I think this is their game and they actually want people to look at trying to get the transcripts released, which the White House obviously doesn't want to do.
Fits right into the whole sewing discord thing.

I enjoy that there isn't a shortage of Flake images pretending that his soul is at stake.
Maybe so, either way fuck them. If you hack our elections we are releasing your transcripts regardless of what you want the process to be. Fuck off.
I remember Tarkus from the old forum I think. Just garden variety Republican or R leaner, but thanks for mysteriously never really commenting directly on Trump but providing advice to the Democratic party
Ok? Glad to see you have a vested interest in the success of the Democratic Party.
The association treaty was even thrown into a referendum in the Netherlands because of "right" (alt-right) shenanigans. Practically nobody showed up for it, of course (thank god!), but the outcome was still 'we should', so yeah we do give shit to Ukraine.
To be fair though, having skimmed through the actual text of the treaty, it's mostly just food and medicine support and not really a war-support thing or anything like that, since that would (obviously) involve declaring war. I do believe Russia's actions require a far greater response than we have seen so far though.
Hopefully Trump's impeachment will be the vehicle for driving the hurt back to Putin and his mob.
and that is my random drive-by post for the month. Carry on.
This is going to be Lindsey, right?
Actually, Inhofe and Gohmert also seem like reliable choices in the House.
Also:
he kind of "ad libbed" the transcripts basically saying the quiet parts loud and Trump took that as he was quoting the transcript. It wasn't entirely necessarily but it's all they have to troll with at the moment.
Oxymoron?
I think he blamed both to be fair. And it's wrong to say that Hillary bares no responsibility for her loss. Though, without the Russian interference, she would have won.
His path was 'be Obama's VP and friend and don't fuck up so much he loses front runner status'. That's honestly it. I'd still bet against him securing the nom.
No such thing
There is no reasonable reason to ever vote for a Republican
Did I say that?
I can Stan for Hillary without laboring to remind everyone that yes, yes, yes, yes I know she isn't blameless.
Honestly, if we end up in another post-Watergate situation, but this time the people we voted into office choose to hold the wrongdoers accountable, we could finally be looking at a real sea change in American politics.
"I know, I tried..."
I think it's this
He's basically running his campaign the same way he did his other failed attempts at nomination. The ONLY reason he is even a consideration is the name rec from his prior job.
I'm starting to think they want those calls released just to sow more chaos.
There's only so many times someone can scream "DON'T LOOK HERE!" before everyone wants to look.
Not guilty by reason of "Fuck you I'm a Republican and laws don't apply to me"?

Another retirement in Texas? At this point I'd read a book on what is happening and why.
Edit: There's 23 House republicans from Texas. 25% of them are retiring.
