Durbin to Trump: "Release the tapes. I know what happened"

I never was more embarrassed than having lived under Clinton and Obama.

And yet Clinton and Obama are admired around the world.

And President Archie Bunker, not so much.
 
Durbin is upset because he represents the ****hole of Chicago.

Durbin is from Belleville, IL, not the ****hole of western Virginia, since you're slinging **** ...
 
Is that contempt for the state of Illinois I see.

The same contempt that this ****hole congress had for Blue State Givers to Red state takers in the trump ****hole tax heist ...
 
Only by fellow schmucks ...

Your hero Trump loved the Clinton's until it became politically convenient for him not to.

Granted Trump is a schmuck though...
 
To be fair, it wouldn't be the first time Durbin has lied about comments made behind closed doors so there is reason to be skeptical. It does sound like a comment Trump would make so it wouldn't surprise me in the least had he made the comments.

Actually there are many others who back up Durbin's account so being fair would be to believe him. Even the Whitehouse did not push back on it at first. This was all a smokescreen for Trump's rejection of the bipartisan DACA bill and we are now supposed to forget that Trump promised that he would sign it.


Here are Trump's own words to that effect....Speaking of known liars.

I really do believe Democrat and Republican, the people sitting in this room, really want to get something done," Trump said. "Let's see if we can get something done. I really think that we have a chance to do it. I think it's really important. You're talking about 800,000 people. You're talking about lots of other people who are affected, including people who live in our country, from a security standpoint."

"I think my positions are going to be what the people in this room come up with.," he said. "I am very much reliant on the people in this room. I know most of the people on both sides; have a lot of respect for the people on both sides, and my -- what I approve is going to be very much reliant on what the people in this room come to me with. I have great confidence in the people. If they come to me with things that I'm not in love with, I'm going to do it, because I respect them."

What a crock of ****.....
 
I did not say that Erickson is lying, I said that he screwed his brand.

This is not someone that I listen to.

You mean Trump screwed his brand. The whole right wing is going down with the Trumptanic and they know it. I wish them luck in their new careers.

Dick Durbin was born in East St Louis. He got caught up in the House overdraft fiasco in the 90s' and was defeated in his re-election bid in large part because of that. In Democrat circles check embezzlement is a resume enhancer because a few years later he won a Senate bid and here we are. Stuck with a guy that kites checks and smears armed forces is considered a paragon of virtue to the Democratic party.

Whatever you think of Trump, Durbin doesn't deserve your trust.
 
LOL! I love it when people say things like this.

Really? You have carefully and thoughtfully researched every single sentence every President has ever said and cross-referenced it with factual documents? Gosh, how long did that take you? :lamo

You might be surprised but people do that with POTUS's. You see before Trump their words mattered.

According to the surely exhausted fact-checkers at The Washington Post, who began a project tracking Trump's false or misleading claims over his first 100 days in office—but were forced, by the deluge of mendacity, to continue—President Very Stable Genius hit 2,001 false or misleading claims in office during his televised meeting with a group of bipartisan lawmakers Tuesday.

Like an aging arena rock band, Trump is no longer writing much new material. He goes out there and plays the hits. Each false claim the Post pulled out of Tuesday's meeting is something the Enormously Consensual President has offered up before. One of these will find itself on the trophy plaque reading, "2,000th Presidential Lie":
Here's Trump's 2,000th Lie in Office

Seeing as some of these people have the internet so far up their own asses, they could be a part of the matrix.

Or Skynet is giving them an exam at this very moment.

Trump doesn't either. However, Trump has a long record of lies, being a birther, and not trustworthy.
 
Does it not trouble anyone else that what we are kicking back and forth are the suffix of a vulgar word (house/hole) and whether or not a word (I) or a contraction (I’d) was spoken? To the point that people are slowing a tape to further dissect the sounds. Reminds me of the vinyl album that gave some satanic message when played backwards.

Whatever your position, all the evidence that you need is in, (and has been for a long time.) Now the question is, what are you going to do now.

It's irrelevant where he's from. What's he done to help the problems in Chicago?

Durbin also has a long record of lies. Neither is a sterling example of a civil servant.
 
There are much fewer artifacts in that recording. I'm guessing there's been significantly less compression.



It's amazing watching hypocrites who got all buthurt when posters posted about obama's gaffe "my muslim face" acting all serious about this.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he did not say it. I'm simply saying there is reason to be skeptical of Durbin's account since it wouldn't be the first time should it be proven false.
