Sorry comrade sig but if you were paying attention you'd know this week is set up to blow your all second hand, no first had witnesses out of the water...


So, you can FORGET the entire first week, and all the M$M blowhards who hyperventilated about one "bombshell" after another that turned out to be squibs?

I guess THAT must have been the "show" part of "show trial"! (Yanno, just like the good ol' USSR!)


Quote:

A show trial is a public trial in which the judicial authorities have already determined the guilt of the defendant. The actual trial has as its only goal the presentation of both the accusation and the verdict to the public so they will serve as both an impressive example and a warning to other would-be dissidents or transgressors. Show trials tend to be retributive rather than corrective and they are also conducted for propagandistic purposes.

Certainly not as damning as Trump's own words:

TRUMP: "The other thing, there's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me."

Clear abuse of power/bribery/extortion and likely not the first time.

Hey, where have I recently heard someone else use a similar phrase in a completely phony attempt to make the next thing out of their mouth seem popular, or incontrovertible, "...a lot of people ..." "... there's a lot of talk about ...." something to do with Venus? Huh... seems a popular tactic... is it Schopentrumper?

Obviously he wasn't worried about those words getting out to the public because he put them out there for the public to read.

There's no there there buddy.


You never admitted you were wrong when Russiagate was a hoax. My prediction is that you won't this time either when impeachment goes nowhere.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

On and off. Nunes has more flop sweat than Dan Quail. Not to mention he’s another lying a-hole. GOP needs an enema.

Vindman is solid. Best moment:
Vindman corrects Nunes after he called him "Mr. Vindman":

"Ranking member, it's Lt. Col. Vindman."



Near the end he was asked a question that when he answered received an ovation. Chilling...Deep State 4 Republicans 0

Clear abuse of power

Huh, the President of the United States asking a foreign government to look into potential malfeasance of a US politician! "Abuse of power" or "constitutional duty"?

bribery
What is the thing of value, and what is being offered in return? This was phrased as a favor.

What is Trump "extorting" from Ukraine, and what is the threat that he is holding over them?

Liar. The phrase I used was

I can see why reality confuses you: You insist on reading/hearing things that were never written/said. You just make up shit as you go along.

Jeez, get a grip.

More like extortion. You conveniently forgot to say it was conditional, "but I need you to do me a favor though..."

Your lies are so 1st grade. Try harder!

Liar or just plain stupid? I said, "a similar phrase." I know exactly what you said because it was so familiar and because you have become such an avid Trump follower. The people fo America? The people of the world? You hoped it would have the same effect as when Dump uses it - "a lot." Gods, you're such a Trump disciple you probably hear his voice in your head when you post! Creepy!

We both know G that sig is still asking the same questions she has been asking all along. This despite that they've all been answered many times now. And, all in ways that show Trumps guilt.

Well... there is no guilt, so I can only assume you're talking about your Trump fanfic that you've been co-collaborating on.

Signy, I want to point out that MUSHY misquoted the phrase:

Quote:

"but I need you to do me a favor though..."
And also trolled based on his 'stupid':
Quote:

So yes, he DOES see/ hear things that never were there. The quote is:
Quote:

I would like you to do us a favor though.
And that puts it as a request, not a demand. (Aside from which, every so called witness says that Zelensky didn't know about any money ties-ins to any investigations at the time of the call. How it could possibly be extortion or even a bribe is beyond me.)

Given that that quote is the basis for his post, MUSHY SHOULD have looked it up! And Mushy COULD have looked it up, but he's too smart for that ... what with his smart phone and all.

Americans who do not get all of their information about Ukraine from Fox News have been baffled by the Republican cross-examination of witnesses called to give public testimony in the House impeachment hearings.

There have been frequent, context-free references to something called “the black ledger” and invocations of the supposedly nefarious role of George Soros in supporting Ukrainian anti-corruption activists.

The resulting spectacle has confused viewers unfamiliar with a series of conspiratorial reports about Ukraine from the conservative columnist John Solomon, whose work has been promoted relentlessly on Fox, and caused many to simply tune the proceedings out. Virginia Tilley, a political scientist at Southern Illinois University, suggested on Twitter that making the impeachment hearings nearly incomprehensible might even be the Republican strategy.

This bizarre performance stretched into a second week on Tuesday, as Republicans sought to distract from the testimony of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a National Security Council expert on Ukraine, and Jennifer Williams, a Russia adviser for Vice President Mike Pence. In the hearings, the government officials called to testify so far have seemed at a loss when asked by Republicans to comment on claims of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election presented as fact by the president’s defenders in Congress. But the witnesses don't watch Fox, so they were puzzled by the Republican conspiracy theory that it was only Ukraine, not in the least Russia, interfering.
