Politics Thread

Here's one thing everyone can agree on, from Democrats to Republicans to Xavier fans to Dayton fans to the whole human race:

I get it. You hate Trump. But you are highly likely to have five more years of him as he pursues actions and legislation that is favorable to the United States.

No you actually don’t get it. I don’t hate Trump. I do hate how he operates. In fact if you took away the unethical behaviors and juvenile conduct, I’d love Trump. Politically I agree with most of what he’s done. I constantly defend his political agenda and political actions against my clueless Democrat in-laws.

The part you don’t get is you are a biased partisan. I am not, and I also hold politicians to a high ethical standard, which sadly is a fruitless cause.

Also, how come you never answered my question above about if this was a Democrat?

For sure. I missed the SHU game ant that worked out well. This will give me reason to not watch again so we can bring home another victory tonight.

You and I differ on the issue of whether or not he did anything wrong. I don’t believe he did. You do believe he did.

I agree with you for the most part with respect to his demeanor and modus operandi. Nonetheless, as I’ve stated elsewhere, everyone is against him, so him lashing back isn’t too surprising and somewhat justifiable at times.

Democrat or Republican, if someone is guilty of high crimes and impeachable offenses, out they go.

Trump did nothing wrong, IMHO, and certainly nothing impeachable here.

If the phone call was "perfect," why don't they release the real, complete transcript?
They have it. They locked it up.
If it's so damn perfect, why didn't they release it, instead of some partial recap of the call?

National security content? I don’t know.

Overall and collectively, it certainly appears as though there is no “there” there, and we’re moving forward after tomorrow afternoon. Some focused on the nation’s business and others who are focused on continuing with an unethical power grab.

I'm pretty sure a "perfect" call would warrant releasing word for word, with security concerns redacted.

That they didn't even bother and went with a potentially shaded "recap" makes me suspect it's not all that perfect.

Someday we'll know I'm sure.(or my grandkids will anyway)

Bad argument.


Did your read the transcripts of the call? Did you listen to the testimony during the House investigation. I keep saying it because it happened. You keep denying it because you refuse to hear something you don’t want to hear.

Pelosi is CLASSLESS. Wow.
