WHO WOULD FEEL THE NEED TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT??

"No, no, I not a bot. I is reality, you try you see. I has good family, acquaintances. I am real girl."

Why do YOU feel the need to call people ... people that you absolutely don't know btw ... "Russian trolls" and "sock puppets"

Yanno, I should go see a lawyer about that defamation before the statute of limitations runs out ... just to, yanno, provide some consequences to your hostile online behavior.

I happen to know for a fact that KIKI is not my sock puppet because KIKI's posts are't mine. Maybe KIKI and I should arrange to post at the same time to demonstrate that we're independent people.

Bitch.

Just to give you an idea of how the M$M is mind-fucking you, here is CNN's banner headline

DESPITE DAMNING TEXTS, TRUMP SAYS THERE WAS NO QUID PRO QUO


I had to go thru FOUR LINKS to get to [some of the] content of the texts. Even having done that, it was obvious it was an incomplete record. And there, at the very bottom of the fourth link, there was this ...


Quote:


Behind the scenes, concerns were being raised by a senior US diplomat in Ukraine, Bill Taylor, that the aid had been held up.
"Are we now saying that security assistance and WH meeting are conditioned on investigations?" Taylor texted Sondland on September 1.

"Call me," Sondland responded. The context of Taylor's text message is not clear from the messages released by the committee.

A week later, Taylor was even more concerned, texting Sondland: ["As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign."

Sondland responded, "Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump's intentions. The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo's of any kind. The President is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign."

Sondland then suggested that if Taylor had additional concerns, he should reach out to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's assistant.

Wishi,

Oh yeah - how's that letter writing campaign going? The one where you want to tell everyone the US policy is nuking all fascists.

The insane never-Trumpers will be driven even more insane in the wash/rinse/spin/repeat/ cycle they mistake for reality.

One of the people I don't see anymore is SHINY. He would get mildly toasted (I think) and then post these over-the-top emotional rants. I know I spent many posts trying to show him how the "free trade" agreements would nullify any environmental, labor, or product safety regulation that interfered with "normal and expected" transnational profits and he kept dismissing it as a pro-Trump talking point. I think the thing that broke SHINY was when I posted a statement by his hero, Elizabeth Warren, saying the very same thing. Then he had to confront THE ISSUE, and not react tribally.

One day, perhaps the rest of the people here will confront issues, and not resort to tribalism, bullying, defamation, and insult when their ability to "discuss" runs out.

"Flat-Out False": WaPo Calls Out Adam Schiff For Lying About Whistleblower

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) was called out by the Washington Post for claiming last month that his panel had "not spoken directly with the whistleblower" - a CIA employee whose second-hand account of a phone conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky sparked impeachment proceedings.

"Have you heard from the whistleblower? Do you want to hear from the whistleblower? What protections could you provide to the whistleblower?" Schiff was asked during a Sept. 17 interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. We would like to," replied Schiff, adding "But I am sure the whistleblower has concerns that he has not been advised, as the law requires, by the inspector general or the director of national Intelligence just how he is supposed to communicate with Congress, and so the risk to the whistleblower is retaliation."

After it was revealed that the whistleblower approached Schiff's panel - which then directed him to a Democrat attorney, the Post gave Schiff four Pinocchios for his statement, which they called "Flat-out false."

"Schiff on 'Morning Joe' clearly made a statement that was false," said the fact-checker. "He now says he’s was answering the wrong question, but if that was the case, he should have quickly corrected the record. He compounded his falsehood by telling reporters a few days later that if not for the [inspector general's] office, the committee would not have known about the complaint. That again suggested there had been no prior communication."

Fact Checker Analysis
Schiff’s false claim his committee had not spoken to the whistleblower



Cooper: “Just to be clear, you don’t know who this alleged whistleblower is or what they are alleging?”

Schiff: “I don’t know the identity of the whistleblower.”

Cooper: “And they haven’t contacted you or their legal representation hasn’t contacted you?”

Schiff: “I don’t want to get into any particulars. I want to make sure that there’s nothing that I do that jeopardizes the whistleblower in any way.”

This is a classic dodge — “don’t want to get into any particulars” — and Cooper failed to follow up. Notice how Schiff quickly answered whether he knew the identity of the whistleblower — “I don’t know” — but then sidestepped the questions about whether the committee had been contacted. But in doing so, he managed not to mislead; he just simply did not answer the question.

Sept. 17, interview on “Morning Joe”

Sam Stein: “Have you heard from the whistleblower? Do you want to hear from the whistleblower? What protections could you provide to the whistleblower?” …

Schiff: “We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. We would like to. But I am sure the whistleblower has concerns that he has not been advised, as the law requires, by the inspector general or the director of national Intelligence just how he is supposed to communicate with Congress, and so the risk to the whistleblower is retaliation.”

This is flat-out false. Unlike the quick two-step dance he performed with Anderson Cooper, Schiff simply says the committee had not spoken to the whistleblower. Now we know that’s not true.

The House Intelligence Committee has obtained a series of text messages that went back and forth this summer between the acting ambassador to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, and two of Donald Trump’s roving troubleshooters for Ukraine, Gordon Sundland and Kurt Volker.

Trump offered fame and fortune to the President of Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine torpedoing Biden for Trump. The details are here:

/

Adding all this to the transcript of the July 25 phone call makes it obvious to anyone over the age of five what’s going on. Both the White House and conservative media have already taken the position that, sure, Trump extorted Ukraine to investigate a political opponent, but the Bidens totally deserved it. But the Federal Election Commission made it 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election.

CIA's top lawyer made criminal referral on whistleblower's complaint about Trump conduct

WASHINGTON — Weeks before the whistleblower's complaint became public, the CIA's top lawyer made what she considered a criminal referral to the Justice Department about the whistleblower's allegations that President Donald Trump abused his office in pressuring the Ukrainian president, U.S. officials familiar with the matter tell NBC News.

That reads to me like it is illegal for American politicians to accept bribes. I can't imagine how you might look at something of non-monetary value. So I suppose that might include Hillary soliciting funds from Saudi Arabia, but not include Obama soliciting help in "investigating" Trump. And where does that place Burisma providing a nice cozy sinecure for the son the the VP?

Why can't you just accept that Dems are just as dirty as the GOP, and probably dirtier than Trump?

Oh BFD. All this tells me it's that the CIA is still gunning for Trump, and it's probably just as cooked - up as the Steele "dossier".
