I'm a Peach
Author: BobR    Date: 2019-09-25 12:00:00

Well THAT escalated quickly. A whistleblower filed a report concerning tRumpy and national security. The administration was required by law to forward it to Congress, and they didn't. These things leak, of course, and tRumpy essentially confessed to what was done and said he did nothing wrong. Less than a week later, and Nancy Pelosi just announced an impeachment investigation. On the same day, the Senate voted UNANIMOUSLY (yes, that includes Moscow Mitch) to demand that the White House turn over the whistleblower report.

For those of us paying attention, we all say in unison "it's about time". There have been plenty of reasons for him to get taken to task. Here are a few:
  • Obstructing Justice
  • Profiting from the Presidency (aka: violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution)
  • Collusion (note - that is not a legal term. Conspiracy, however, is)
  • Abuse of Power
  • Violating Refugees and Immigrants Right of Due Process
  • Violating Campaign Finance Laws
(more at the link)

What did he do this time? It was both abuse of power and violating campaign regulations. First he ordered a hold on aid to Ukraine. A few days later, he called the president of Ukraine and asked him EIGHT TIMES to investigate Joe Biden's son. Mike Pence got in on the action too, which is going to hurt him and tRump. SoS Mike Pompeo jumped into the sinking boat. This makes everything worse for all of them, and may end up in a complete cleaning of the White House (literally and figuratively).

tRumpy hasn't helped himself with his explanations either, sounding like punk in the interrogation room constantly changing his story as to what this was all about:

1.Withholding $400 million in U.S. aid;
2. Not withholding aid, actually;
3. Ukraine needing to investigate Trump’s leading Democratic opponent;
4. Ukraine needing to crack down on corruption;
5. Europe having to pay more;
6. He can’t say, but it was perfect;
(thanks to a namesake friend on the Book of Faces for that list...)

Oh yeah - and he sent his personal lawyer (Ghouliani) to talk to a foreign head of state to also pressure Ukraine to dig up dirt for his re-election campaign. The mind boggles...

The funniest part of this is they are destroying their political careers (and possibly risking jail time) for something that never happened.

This probably won't help Biden, but it will certainly hurt the Republicans who have hitched themselves to the tRump Wagon. Even FOX "News" is criticizing him on this. His circle of supporters in Congress and the media (i.e.: FOX "News"). Like rats from a sinking ship, they are all trying to regain their tattered reputations and credibility (to limited success, I am both guessing and hoping).

tRumpy is a wounded cornered animal, though, and I suspect things are going to get a little crazy(er?) over the next couple months.

For now, I'd like to ship a box of peaches to Nancy Pelosi.

President Trump told his Ukrainian counterpart to work with the U.S. attorney general to investigate the conduct of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and offered to meet with the foreign leader at the White House after he promised to conduct such an inquiry, according to a newly-released transcript of the call.

Those statements and others in a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukraininan President Volodymyr Zelensky were so concerning that the intelligence community inspector general thought them a possible violation of campaign finance law. In late August, intelligence officials referred the matter to the Justice Department as a possible crime, but prosecutors concluded last week that the conduct was not criminal, according to senior Justice Department officials.

The administration’s disclosures underscore how the president’s phone call has consumed the federal government in recent days, and how the White House is now scrambling to defuse the situation by offering more details of what the president said.

He's not even trying to hide it. He's just gonna continue to claim that he can do whatever the fuck he wants because he's president, and expect Mitch McConnell to be his firewall.

I don't think Mitch is gonna go along with that plan much longer. He's got a majority in the Senate to protect, and it's slipping away because of his refusal to do ANYTHING.

Oh yeah, remember when Bill Barr said this? I guess the transcript proves what Kamala Harris was going after.

And now for a TRULY controversial opinion.

I though the Solo prequel movie was good.

So for a very brief moment, the NYT had an article page up with the headline "Trump offers resignation deal to Pelosi", but the page was deleted the very next moment.

For those who thought Nuttyyahoo is on his way out (including me), that may have been premature. He now gets the chance to form another government.

Well -- that presser was insane.

Right out in the open.

Did he really just say he doesn't consider Pelosi to be Speaker of the House anymore?

Really Don? You're gonna play HARUMPH games with maybe the one person who will decide your fate?

I had to turn off the CNN, MSNBC and even the 'Span this afternoon.

Trump needs to not only be impeached, but taken out in a straight jacket.
