Trump battles with Democrats as impeachment pressure grows

[Crystal]

The day after they're extradicted, which will be the day hell freezes over. But like I said, would you rather the investigation never happened and none of it was uncovered?
Personally, it'd be hard to imagine something more worth investigating than Russian interference in a Presidential election. Turning your back and ignoring that sends a message I don't think you want sent.

Yes. Actually. Because it was done under false pretenses. It should not have happened. This is pure political revenge because Trump won the Presidency and the dumb democrats have been having a seismic temper tantrum since then. This country will never recover.

 

[jghiretire]

Trump's refusal to work with Dems because they're putting a vice on his nuts, while not unexpected, is absolutely absurd. He is putting himself and his need to feel superior over the needs of the country.

Time for a new potus that puts US over THEMSELVES.

Hideous obese demagogue.

:rock:rock:applaud:applaud

 

[tres borrachos]

But he didn't obstruct justice. From the Mueller report....


"The investigation did not establish any agreement among [Trump] Campaign officials--or b/t such officials & Russia-linked individuals--to interfere w or obstruct a lawful function of a gov't agency during the campaign or transition."

You people are allowing the Democrats and the media to lead you around by your noses. To manipulate you for Political purposes

Mueller's report specifically did NOT exonerate Trump of obstruction of justice. When asked by Congress, Barr also said Trump was not exonerated of obstruction.

 

[jghiretire]

They’ve been screaming impeachment since the day he was elected. Spent 35 million dollars on a phoney investigation into Russia. There is just one damn phoney charge after another and they won’t stop until Guam tips over. Get the hell on with it.

Except.................they aren't phony.

It will be nice when your head sees the sunshine again.

 

[Fenton]

Because they want to impeach him. The lack of exoneration of obstruction in the Mueller report, the SDNY investigations, their concerns about the emoluments, and other matters they've talked about apparently. What do the FISA warrants and the IG report have to do with the Democrats?

From Mueller's report.....

"The investigation did not establish any agreement among [Trump] Campaign officials--or b/t such officials & Russia-linked individuals--to interfere w or obstruct a lawful function of a gov't agency during the campaign or transition."

And I get they want to impeach him, but so what ? If they're foolish enough to attempt it then more power to them
They could have voted to impeach the day Mueller's report was released, but they didn't. They would rather string along and manipulate their supporters with threats

 

[Airyaman]

Impeached for what exactly?

All this impeachment talk isn't going to stop the release of the IG report or stop Trump from declassifying those FBI FISA applications

What's this lunacy?

Except, they are.

"I have a lot of sympathy for President Trump. I've never seen anybody treated this way." And this one too ... "I thought Mueller was the Final Word. I can understand how the president feels – It’s. Never. Enough."


Graham is trying very hard to be as ironic as Trump.

He'll never catch up. No one could ever be as ironic and hypocritical as Trump.

But Graham is giving it his best shot.




I disliked Obama. I had no love for Hillary. But Trump and Graham are absolutely flaming hypocrites for their whining about how poor widdle Twump is treated after how Obama and Hillary were treated by Trump, Graham and congressional Republicans in general for the whole of Obama's term ... and still to this day.

Is that the same Lindsey Graham who called Trump a "kook". among other choice things?

 

[Barnacle]

Both Charles Schummer and Nancy Pelosi have stated this as fact. If you have a problem, take it up with one of them, or suck it up. Your choice.
President Trump to Democrats: Pass USMCA trade deal before infrastructure - Axios
Here you go, ask you asked, here's the actual letter. Enjoy.
"committed to passing an infrastructure bill" Oh, really? How quickly things changed.

Please point to the passage that supports your statement: "In this message, Trump made it clear to them that if they refuse to support a new trade pact with Mexico and Canada that he would not do anything regarding passing an infrastructure bill. "

That would be the one:

"I'm not going to try to get into the mind of Donald Trump because I don't think there's a whole lot of space there. I think he's a kook. I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit for office."

Trump battles with Democrats as impeachment pressure grows

• The latest: President Trump said he can't work with Democratic leaders while they were pursuing investigations into him and his administration. Trump ended a meeting with them on infrastructure lasted just 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, on impeachment: Thereare growing tensions asHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi toes the line between Democrats frustrated by their stonewalled investigations into President Trump and... President Trump.

Lindsey Graham's message for Trump: "Rise above it if you can"Sen. Lindsey Graham, a strong Trump ally in Congress, just tweeted that he's "never seen anybody treated this way."
The tweet comes just hours after Trump held a surprise speech in the Rose Garden, where he slammed Democrats and their pursuit of investigations into him.

I have a lot of sympathy for President Trump. I've never seen anybody treated this way.

All I would say is try to rise above it if you can. The country is looking for leadership. We need leadership.

Graham told CNN that he is sympathetic to Trump’s frustration but that the President should rise above and get some things done on spending and infrastructure.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last night, Trump sent a message to the two leaders of the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. In this message, Trump made it clear to them that if they refuse to support a new trade pact with Mexico and Canada that he would not do anything regarding passing an infrastructure bill. This is how a gangster operates. But then, Trump has lived his entire life as a gangster.

Now, Trump has threatened to do absolutely nothing unless all the investigations just go away. For people that weren't involved much in politics back in 1998, there were ongoing impeachment investigations in the House and Senate against Bill Clinton. Nevertheless, Bill Clinton was still open to working with Congress to pass some very significant legislation including a trade agreement with China, a summit with Putin and negotiating the Wye River Memorandum which resulted in an agreement highlighted by a three-stage withdrawal of Israeli troops from the West Bank.

Trump is abandoning the duties he swore to uphold on the day he was inaugurated. This isn't The Apprentice, this isn't a television show that he can manipulate and produce to his liking. This is the US government he's messing with, and our lives and the well being and safety of this country.

LOL!!

Seems Nancy isn't the only one who can just tell the other person "No".

Impeached for what exactly?

All this impeachment talk isn't going to stop the release of the IG report or stop Trump from declassifying those FBI FISA applications

Release and declassify!

The fact remains we have a president that just blackmailed Congress, telling them that as long as he is under investigation he will shut down the nation.

If that is not obstruction and an impeachable offense, I have never seen one.

We are light years beyond a .blowjob!!!

 

[Fenton]

What's this lunacy?

It's no more insane than what the Democrats have been doing for the last 2 years. This is just a continuatuon of a two year long tantrum
They're so invested in the phony Collision obstruction narrative they have to keep it going at all cost

That means manipulating and stringing their supporters along with threats of impeachment

From Mueller's report.....

How is Trump " shutting down this Nation ", and what exactly have the Democrats done to make life better for your average American ?
They've chosen to tantrum instead of Govern and have no intention of working with Trump on policy

 

[GDViking]

He indicted a bunch of Russians! When will the trial begin?

No trial, drones, these guys attacked the US, and un-American cultists are okay with that!!!

 

[Roadvirus]

Impeached for what exactly?

For beating Hillary Clinton in the election.

 

[Fenton]

The Mueller Report did not exonerate Trump of obstruction of justice.

The presumption of innocence is still the legal principle that one is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
This applies to Trump and anyone else you don't like

Mueller could not exonerate Trump because to be exonerated you first have to be found guilty

Trump didn't obstruct justice, and the Democrats are playing their supporters like a cheap banjo.

I dont even have to do a hypocrisy test for trumpists, i already know i can match tit for tat with every single thing you complain about.

Thats not why. Perhaps you could actually read the report yourself.

I didn't say he was guilty of anything. You said Mueller exonerated him of obstruction of justice. That is not true. And that's what Congress is looking into.

 

[GDViking]

The phoney investigation produced multiple convictions and more are coming. Trump's campaign was actively soliciting illegally obtained information from Russia. They encouraged illegal hacking of their opponents. They had a business deal on the line with Russia. Russia clearly worked to help Trump win the election. He's a crook and conservative voters know it, but don't care. This is the person they admire and want to set up as an example for the country to follow. It's sad and pathetic.

Well stated!!!

To be found either innocent or guilty one has to rely on the substance of evidence gathered. Trump is stonewalling the process of the multiple Congressional investigations. If he could so easily be exonerated, then why would he order people not to answer subpoenas or to hand over requested documents? Proof is always in the pudding and in the evidence, that's why he wants none of it to come to Congress.
