Let's hear what this man has to say!!!!!!!!!!!

He's saying that because he knows the Senate won't call him. It's all about saving face for him. Nothing more.

I wish Bolton really WAS turning over a new leaf and rolling on donald but that is simply NOT what is happening here.

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

I have my doubts Bolton is being sincere, but it is clear from what he has said before that the Ukraine situation made him very uncomfortable and he would have no part of it.

Regardless, he'll give nothing of real value. He's out to scratch his own back and no one else's. He's a scumbag all his own and he'll protect the orange scumbag if it somehow profits him. Sad, but true.

I've been politically asleep all my life and only "woke up" when Donald was elected. I can see now for the first time the sheer level of corruption in this country and it's depressing.

He is a scumbag. No denying that.

As is most of Trump's orbit.

You're still dreaming.

Alright! More hearsay, policy disagreements, and bloviating about personal "feelings".

Except there is no Senate trial or any indication yet that there will ever be one due to Democrats playing politics.

Pelosi controls when the Senate can begin. She holds the cards. Holding the articles of impeachment while other documents come forth has been a big winner for Pelosi. Don't hate the player, hate the game!

[–] krl97a (5619) 5 years ago

At least you admit it's a game to you. Pelosi's move makes it even clearer that Democrats are playing politics. But it looks like Trump's winning as this farce continues.

Why shouldn't she be playing politics? Impeachment is a political act!

Do you think Clinton was impeached for the good of the country???? It's political theatre.

[–] krl97a (5619) 5 years ago

You're conflating two very different meanings of "political". "Playing politics" means she's engaging in factional maneuvering, the main thing the founding fathers rightly warned against.

And yes, Clinton actually committed crimes, unlike Trump, and it was important to uphold the principle that no one is above the law. By contrast Democrats didn't even allege that Trump broke any laws in their pathetic, purely partisan impeachment articles.

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

These are two different things, you are right. What Trump did actually threatened nat'l security. Clinton just lied about getting a BJ. Thanks for pointing that out, buddy!

[–] krl97a (5619) 5 years ago

Democrats are the only ones threatening national security for political reasons. Trump has been light years better on national security than Obama or any other Democratic president, from actually giving Ukraine lethal aid (which Obama always refused to do) to finally killing that Quds terrorist shitbag Soleimani (instead of quietly cutting deals with him as Obama reportedly did to chase his personal vanity project at the nation's expense).

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Whatever you say, buddy.
