Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[BirkenheadBlue]

I think today's tweetage proves that he can do that.

I'm assuming (though I wouldn't necessarily guarantee it) that the book is longer than 280 characters

Ok just finished listening to the 6 hour 51 minute 41 second stream. To my American Toffees, what stood out for you today? Minus any tweets.

She got a standing ovation at the end!
The democrats did a good job of highliting trumps lack of respect for the state department, pointing out that the sacrifice these people make is akin to military.
They will garner a lot of support if the public think Trump is throwing non partizan people serving abroad under the bus for his own personal ends.

So in your mind anything today helped support impeachment? I heard alot of feelings and personal beliefs but not necessarily helping make a stronger case.

This seems a bit like “apart from the shooting Mrs Lincoln how was the play” lol

"minus the new impeachable offence"

Good job with the whole "nonpartisan" thing

Don't forget how prolificly he has tweeted though - its nearly 6000 text tweets since he took office, which even with the old character limit is more than 800000 characters (admittedly around 10% of these will be .... )

Eh not really caring for the tweets. I know the left want it to be "intimidation" but really?... Just focusing on the hearing. I know he said some really dumb stuff at very inappropriate times but trying to stay on the hearings.

Minus the incompetence, bad policies, racism, corruption and instability, Trump's a really good President who should absolutely get a second term.

We’ll have to disagree on the importance of the tweets.

But just focusing on the testimony alone
1) Everyone agrees that the president has the right to fire an ambassador. I don’t think the GOP are providing an effective explanation of why she was fired (just that Georgetown isn’t a bad posting so what real harm?) but equally I don’t think the Dems were entirely effective on communicating a corrupt motive for her removal
2) The former ambassador was an sympathetic and believable witness - smearing her is a dumb strategy

Thank you for your opi

Thank you Mr. Legs All I wanted to hear unlike what Mr. Blue had to offer. I agree she sounded very believable, respectable, and overall...a high quality public service worker. 33 years is a long time to do anything and to be on 4 presidents (Republican) and a few Dems pick for ambassador is something on honor. She did a good job but I wish the Dems didn't focus so much on trying to play a tear jerk for the American people and focus on what you said, "Corrupt Motive." I am really curious to know if they have a witness who personally heard the call, was in the room. Interesting few hours today. Also question, I know under Wistleblower protection the person cannot be made public. Do you think it would be effective to use a voice modifier in a blacked out room to have the person give a personal testimony on the issues? I would love to see that honestly but I dont think its ever been done

TBF they didn't have to present a corrupt motive for her removal, just have to demonstrate that she was a competent representative of her country who was slandered out of her office when they could have easily (and correctly) just removed her.

The damning stuff is the slander, the timing of the removal and what happened after she was removed. If this was a jury trial, with honest jurors, this would be over now.

Sondland

The majority of those either on the call or with first hand knowledge have been barred from testifying by.. *checks notes*... Trump

Not really. The whistleblower is effectively irrelevant at this point. Not only do we have testimony from the likes of the two gentlemen on Wednesday who have just as much first hand knowledge as the whistleblower, but the White House itself released a transcript which corroborated exactly what the whistleblower said.

I think we are long beyond the whistleblower being relevant tbh given all the other testimony and the release of the (edited) transcriptions of Trump call - bit like it seemed a bit weird for the Dems to focus on Linda Tripp during the Clinton impeachment when already had the recording of her phone call with Monica Lewinsky and the blue dress.
