Cont: House Impeachment Inquiry - part 3

[tyr_13]

0/2 still equals 0.

 

[Trebuchet]

There's not the slightest chance of flipping the Senate to the point of having a 2/3 majority.

... not with that attitude...

Or any attitude. Seriously, look it up. Chances are there'll be no change. Or a Republican increase, with Jeff Sessions replacing the D in Georgia.

But even a simple majority would let them set the rules regarding witnesses and documents. IOW, have a real trial.

Would not get him removed, but would at least expose more wrongdoing.

Meh. There's plenty exposed already, and he's still there.

Because the more you explain, the less funny any joke becomes.

Especially if it wasn't funny to start with and made no sense.

But why remove his twin?

Twins aren't just related. And yeah, you gotta read a little bit into it, just like you have to read a bit into "I'm a locksmith". But it's not that hard. Give it a try.

I'm having to read a lot into your explanation to make any logical sense of it...and not succeeding.

What you're basically saying is the Yevgeny had to be fired from his post negatively affecting his long and honorable career, not because of anything he's done, but because he's a twin...which is somehow more 'special' than just being related.

No. There is no "had to be fired" involved. The question was why he was fired, not why or even if he had to be.

Um...no.

For a moment there, it looked like you might actually open your mind a little bit to the possibility that people don't all fit within neat little boxes. But nope, can't have that.

But a lot of them do. Turn the handle on the box marked " Petty, Vindictive Pathological Liar/Emotionally Stunted Extreme Narcissist" and Trump springs out.

People not fitting into neat little boxes wasn't in reference to Trump, it was in reference to me. I'm not in the least bit surprised you missed that fact.

If you could point out to me exactly where I said Trump was the person you were referring to you might have a leg to stand on with your snarky reply. But you can't so you don't.

You yourself said that the joke wasn't funny anyway, so...

 

[Matthew Best]

Hard to see how explaining it could make it less funny.

Hard to see how explaining it could make it less funny.

The saddest thing is that Leslie Neilson line from Police Squad! is one of my all time favourite one liners (second only to "Eat one lousy foot and they call you a cannibal").

 

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

Trump's come up with the solution, anyway: End the practice of keeping records of and having people listen in to his calls with foreign leaders

Time for republicans in congress to put on their concerned face...

It was never much of a joke in the first place. Sorry.

Especially if it wasn't funny to start with and made no sense.

It made sense, but it still wasn't that funny.

 

[Ziggurat]

It was never much of a joke in the first place. Sorry.

I have no objection to that conclusion.

Wrong thread.

I’m seeing Governor Cuomo today at The White House. He must understand that National Security far exceeds politics. New York must stop all of its unnecessary lawsuits & harrassment, start cleaning itself up, and lowering taxes. Build relationships, but don’t bring Fredo!

The President says if New York will stop investigating potential crimes he committed he will restore the global entry status he denied them for reasons which are now plain for all to see.

Senate Republicans protected a corrupt President who operates by shakedown and extortion.

Am I seeing a quid pro quo here?

 

[Aridas]

Am I seeing a quid pro quo here?

An attempt at openly creating one via extortion, fairly certainly.

Trump is seen as non-judgemental?

Trump is fine because he only judges people that his supporters don't like, whereas Democrats are judging them.

Trump is fine because he only judges people that his supporters don't like, whereas Democrats are judging them.

...And if he judges a person that they previously liked, they then don't like the person?

Ask Anthony Scaramucci, General Kelly, John Bolton, James Comey, Gordon Sondland, Jeff Sessions, Rex Tillerson...

The army has announced that it will not be investigating Vindman over his impeachment testimony

House lawyers attempting going through the courts to try to get Trump's tax returns have filed a motion using Trump's impeachment lawyers own arguments
