Where is the evidence that points to a "quid pro quo"?

Oh that's right ... you live in a evidence-free world, which is why you keep getting fooled over and over ... from Vietnam all the way to today.

Don't you mean Biden, his son, and a gaggle of DNC cronies and operatives have been extorting Ukraine for a long time?



You're just to stupid and dishonest to post anything with factual content comrade sig.


Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the president’s daughter and son-in-law, brought in at least $82 million in outside income while serving as senior White House advisers during 2017, according to new financial disclosure forms released Monday.

Ivanka Trump earned $3.9 million from her stake in the Trump International Hotel in Washington, while Kushner reported over $5 million in income from Quail Ridge, a Kushner Cos. apartment complex acquired last year in Plainsboro, N.J.

The filings show how the couple are collecting immense sums from other enterprises while serving in the White House, an extraordinary income flow that ethics experts have warned could create potential conflicts of interests.

Altho it's just a typo, you managed to hit on a word that means something and I don't think that's what you meant.

I read the transcript, did you? Zelenskiy starts out by saying he's looking forward to purchasing the Javelin. If he thought there was a hangup in funding, how could he be looking forward to something he wasn't sure he would get?

I dunno ... this whole "impeachment" thing seems just as cockeyed as the RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA! hoax.




Enough of your Russian trolling. Look at the photo dipshit. It says it all. Zwlenskiy knows he's sitting next to a crazy person and he needs to be very very careful. After all, Trump and his cronies have been extorting him for quite a while now.

You keep repeating "evidence-free" as if you can lie your way out of this. Pelosi said, “We have to stay focused as far as the public is concerned on the fact that the president of the United States used taxpayer dollars to shake down the leader of another country for his own political gain.”

The next phase of the impeachment process will likely be open hearings where already gathered evidence is presented to the public and the full House. That will include the most compelling testimony collected so far from witnesses, documents collected by House investigators and at times the president’s own words.

The House investigation has resulted in a flood of new information in recent weeks, including evidence that suggests Trump pushed aside the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, so that a team of his political appointees — some calling themselves "the three amigos" — could pressure the Ukrainian government to create a corruption narrative, and possible charges, against the Bidens.

There has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either Biden.

Some evidence also suggests there was an effort to withhold a White House meeting sought by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, as well as $391 million in aid Congress had appropriated to help Ukraine to defend itself against Russian aggression, unless Zelenskiy acquiesced to Trump's request to do him a “favor” by investigating an energy company linked to Hunter Biden.

In an Oct. 16 letter to the Democratic caucus, Schiff warned that defying subpoenas would be considered “evidence of the president’s effort to obstruct the impeachment inquiry, and we may also use that obstruction as additional evidence” of “the president’s underlying misconduct.”

If that's Hershey bars and Peanut Butter Cups in that bowl, that's a great deal.

I'd give dirt on Biden's son for candy corn.

Trump is suppose to be at work this morning, but instead he is panicking : President Trump on Tuesday called the impeachment inquiry a “lynching” in an inflammatory tweet that drew swift condemnation from Democrats as a senior diplomat viewed as a key witness testifies.

House investigators are hearing from William B. Taylor Jr., the acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, who raised alarms in text messages to other diplomats about a holdup in military aid while President Trump was pressing Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Taylor is the latest official to be deposed behind closed doors as Democrats seek to build their case against Trump.

Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, responded to Trump’s comparison of the impeachment inquiry to lynching with a pair of pointed tweets.

“You are comparing a constitutional process to the PREVALENT and SYSTEMATIC brutal torture of people in THIS COUNTRY that looked like me?” she wrote.

“Every time your back is up against the wall, you throw out these racial bombs,” Bass said in a second tweet. “We’re not taking the bait. While we CONTINUE our business here in DC, why don’t you take a trip to the @MemPeaceJustice in Alabama and LEARN SOMETHING.”

Her tweet used the Twitter handle for the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which, according to its website, is “dedicated to the legacy of enslaved black people, people terrorized by lynching, African Americans humiliated by racial segregation and Jim Crow, and people of color burdened with contemporary presumptions of guilt and police violence.”
