Trumped

I think I found the quote of the year.

 

Quote

"First [President George W.] Bush came and said he killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, then [President Barack] Obama came and he said he killed [Osama] bin Laden, now this one comes saying he killed Baghdadi. Every president kills one," says Zekko Zuhair, a pet store owner in Mosul, Iraq.

Sports fans love mass murderers.

I don't really think about the average person cheering or booing someone as an endorsement one way or the other.  To quote Adam, "have you met people?"

WASHINGTON — A White House national security official who is a decorated Iraq war veteran plans to tell House impeachment investigators on Tuesday that he heard President Trump appeal to Ukraine’s president to investigate one of his leading political rivals, a request the aide considered so damaging to American interests that he reported it to a superior.

Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman of the Army, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, twice registered internal objections about how Mr. Trump and his inner circle were treating Ukraine, out of what he called a “sense of duty,” he plans to tell the inquiry, according to a draft of his opening statement obtained by The New York Times.

He will be the first White House official to testify who listened in on the July 25 telephone call between Mr. Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine that is at the center of the impeachment inquiry, in which Mr. Trump asked Mr. Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

“I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government’s support of Ukraine,” Colonel Vindman said in his statement. “I realized that if Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in Ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained.”

This seems like a huge blow to Trump. I'm sure Trump will bash this colonel on Twitter by the end of the day.

If Trump is innocent, why are these guys ignoring subpoenas? Show up and tell the truth.

Nothing suspicious about this.

“Abused” is an interesting choice. What politician hasn’t used their power for personal gain? 

Can you give a similar or more egregious example of another president using their power for personal gain?

We are talking about impeachment. Clinton has been out of office for 20 years, what they've been up to since then is irrelevant.

We are talking about a lot of things.  It isn't irrelevant if the Clintons are making their millions off of foundations built while he was in office

It's irrelevant to the question I asked.
