He’s on Maddow, so he’s instantly easily dismissed by any of the voting public that matters.

Very few if any posters at all didn’t want all the crimes put into the articles of impeachment but once time dragged on a lot of posters realised that it’s 2020 now and it’s best to get this all out in the open then attack after they aquit…

Nothing to do with Bernie or warren

Letters! Let’s see him wiggle his way out of this one!

Early in his administration, for instance, Trump is eager to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin — so much so, the authors write, “that during the transition he interrupts an interview with one of his secretary of state candidates” to inquire about his pressing desire: “When can I meet Putin? Can I meet with him before the inaugural ceremony?” he asks.

After the two leaders meet face-to-face for the first time — 168 days into his presidency at the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg — Trump promptly declares himself a Russia expert, dismissing the expertise of then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who had worked closely with Putin since the 1990s, when Tillerson was working his way up the ExxonMobil corporate ladder and doing business with Russia.

“Tillerson’s years of negotiating with Putin and studying his moves on the chessboard were suddenly irrelevant,” the duo writes. “ ‘I have had a two-hour meeting with Putin,’ Trump told Tillerson. ‘That’s all I need to know. . . . I’ve sized it all up. I’ve got it.’ ”

In spring 2017, Trump also clashed with Tillerson when he told him he wanted his help getting rid of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a 1977 law that prevents U.S. firms and individuals from bribing foreign officials for business deals.

“It’s just so unfair that American companies aren’t allowed to pay bribes to get business overseas,” Trump says, according to the book. “We’re going to change that.”

Anthony Scaramucci, who served as Trump’s communications director for just 11 days, recounts the president’s response when he asks him, “Are you an act?”

“I’m a total act and I don’t understand why people don’t get it,” Trump replies, according to Scaramucci.

No, y’all wanted it to end. I’m being facetious with the Bernie comment, but this was an obvious outcome of shutting this shit down early.

I only remember me and at most 3 other posters commenting on sending the Articles now… @RiskyFlush was 1 that comes to mind, maybe @Trolly said it too but could be wrong… I forget the other. :joy:

I’m quite happy for you to prove me mistaken…:innocent:

Bold of you to claim my position is even close to that coherent

True… My bad…

We all wanted all his crimes investigated is what I mean, and that you were OK with Pelosi’s timing when they got sent.

Sorry about that… I was confident too, my bad. :pray::pray:

LOL I was just taking a dig at myself :stuck_out_tongue:

My position is that sending them now was fine. From all appearances, she was losing the political capital needed to continue to withhold them.

I mean I’m not even beyond suggesting that she is closely coordinating all of the shit that’s coming out leading up to the trial. I’m not going to claim 4D chess on Pelosi’s part, just to say that I’m not in Congress or the Senate, so I view everything we learn through the media with a fair amount of skepticism.

I want to watch, but I refuse (am too lazy?) to pay to watch MSNBC.

Halp.

So is this an ‘I better go public before I get poloniumed’ interview?

Mr. Sutherland?

If you don’t watch MSNBC, what in the world do you watch??

Besides bad/blah Chris Matthews, Chuck Todd, and Brian Williams, they do have Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow (perhaps an acquired taste), Katy Tur, Lawrence O’Donnel, Nicolle Wallace, and Ari Melber who are all generally very good.
