[W:161]Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

whats all the fuss about then? :roll:

The POTUS smeared someone he did not like instead of just removing her. He then threatened her in a phone-call the the new POTUS in Ukraine.
Seriously, did you sleep through all of life, or just the last few months?
 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

thanks for admitting that schiff was lying about the tweet being intimidating i just need you to state it publicly for everyone to see.

Are you out of your mind.

Here, want an easy one:
"Everyplace Yovanovich worked turned bad"

In the first place, Trumpkin would not know if they "turned bad" on her watch, before her watch, after her watch or at all. She was not even an Ambassador in those other postings. She was a foreign services officer in the service of her country, unlike Corp Bone Spurs who avoided it. Trumpkin is too ignorant to know.

In the second place, even an Ambassador is not superhuman, much less a lower level foreign services officer in country. They do their jobs, not more and not less. Let me know when that sinks in so I know you have some understanding for what the expectations are for a foreign services officer posted to a position.

Third, she still works for the State Dept. She still hopes to be posted again. If you don't think a foreign services officer hoping to continue her career at State is not intimidated by Trump's derogatory tweets trying to make some comment about her job performance, which he knows NOTHING about, you are INSANE!

And that is just pulling 5 little words from that disgusting, appalling and intimidating tweet.

actually that was not appalling or intimidating thanks for showing us that you couldn't do it.
you obviously do not know the definition to the words you use hence why all you have is an appeal to emotion fallacy.
 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

not a winning debate strategy ....ever

Not reading the posts and irrationality is not one either.
 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

POTUS is attacking a witness who is testifying in his impeachment hearing.
That's enough.
So if he had done it before or after her testimony it would have been ok? Or are you saying that these career bureaucrats are beyond reproach?

That he's a sitting President from the bully pulpit doing so, publicly, while she's testifying, make it considerably worse.
Trump is also her boss, meaning her job is also dependent on his whim, makes it even worse.
He said she has done a bad job. So what? Where is the intimidation? Hell, she wouldnt have even known about it if Schiff hadnt read it to her. So why arent you denouncing Schiff?

You here defending Trump's deplorable behavior...unfortunate.

Attorney's always recommend not commenting on ongoing investigations into yourself, and certainly not to disparage witnesses. Most non-idiots leave the disparaging to others.
Trump has no shortage like Hannity or Rush or Levin, or you...to disparage people who go after him for his misdeeds, why does he do it himself? His choice.
Look, I dont think Trump should have done it. I think he should let this play itself out and go about running the country, but thats not his style. But the liberal overreaction to this is silly

Now you are getting desperate aren't you? Thats OK we knew it already. Go tell you handlers, you had another FAIL.

doubling down on stupidity would not be another strong debate strategy imho....have a great day:2wave:

Maybe because she, like most sane people, don't engage in CT's?

Bingo.
 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

better re-watch today's hearing...

Why did the tin-hat brigade come out in full force?
You do know that when a Republican speaks about something, it doesn't mean it happened.
No, of course you don't.

Guffaw!!! I don't think he has been debating one to this point and you are not debating at all.

Daily Caller

@DailyCaller
.@RepChrisStewart: "Do you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with at all?"

Yovanovitch : "No."

Comments?

Looks like she added nothing which is why all the talk is bout the tweets.
 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

in case you haven't notice....Joe's a little out of it...I don't think he remembers a lot of details these days.

That's not a valid argument, it's supposition on your part, nothing factual.
 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

Biden isnt playing with a full deck so, yeah.

Yeah well he's running for president, what have you done lately with your 'full deck' other than post silliness on a public political forum?
 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

That's not a valid argument, it's supposition on your part, nothing factual.

politics based on opinions not facts.....see impeachment inquiry example A.
 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

curious why you have Jim Jones as avatar?

You think my avatar is Jim Jones?
On what planet do you spend the majority of your time?

 
Re: Marie Yovanovitch testimony -- comments

One of the articles of impeachment will be abuse of power, which is exactly what he did. He delayed military defense money to a country under siege for a period of 50 days. In those days, 13 Ukrainians were killed by Russians. Donald Trump was not concerned that his delay would come at the cost of human life. Donald Trump was only concerned with absolving Russia of blame for the hacking of the election in 2016. Donald Trump was only concerned that Zelensky should make a public statement of opening up an investigation into Joe Biden. That would serve him well in the 2020 election if he could smear Joe Biden who was leading in the democratic polls at that point in time. Even if there was no 'there-there', the public would hear that "Joe Biden under investigation!!" And everyone's hair would catch fire and they wouldn't vote for Joe Biden.

Can't come up with a legitimate cause for impeachment there's always "abuse of power". As in we don't like the way you're running the country and we control the House of Representatives so there!

No. It's a fact he did it during her meeting, and astounding.

He said she has done a bad job. So what? Where is the intimidation? Hell, she wouldnt have even known about it if Schiff hadnt read it to her. So why arent you denouncing Schiff?
You don't appear to understand what witness intimidation is.
Fletch, witness intimidation is also intimidation of any/all potential future witnesses. Of which there appear to be no shortage of, thankfully.

Go after me, and I'll go after you...as POTUS, publicly, by attacking you.
I also do not believe you have thought much about what it really would be like to be attacked by right wing media on Fox, publicly, and attacked by a sitting President of the United States, as they try to cover up their corruption. It's not fun and games, you realize, it's their lives, their reputation, their job.

Look, I don't think Trump should have done it. I think he should let this play itself out and go about running the country, but that's not his style. But the liberal overreaction to this is silly
Fletch, we don't hear public officials doing this, because few prominent people are this stupid. Attorney's say it so often we all know the rules. You don't get involved in an investigation, you let your attorneys speak for you.
The minute you open your mouth against witnesses, the process, etc., you open yourself up to liability or damage to your case.

That you don't agree with Trump is irrelevant. That you support him regardless, is the issue.
