You don't have to hate someone to think they're childish idiots.

Who has made our country stronger military, finances, taxes, stock market, useless laws overcome, pardon good fighting men, has a beautiful well spoken wife and shows us the evil side of the left wing as a bunch of socialist trying to take over our country.

The reason to my question

"What is he doing ?"

is based on my knowledge about laws or the little knowledge I have.

In every country in Europe a suspect will get a tougher punishment if s/he threaten or affect a witness.

and this is what Mr. Trump did by twitting about this woman.

He tried to affect or threaten her, while she gave her testimony.

His action does not exactly make his situation better.

As I already indicated to you, he stands above the law. Not really, but thats what he and many of his followers think.

It gets worse with radical evangelist Christians. Some of them go as far as saying that being against lil' Cesar is being against God. In principle this provides him a divine card blanche, and it will stay this way as long as he gets their votes, and he will get them as long as they think he will push their religious agenda. The most clasisc of cooperaitons, since the medieval, if not earlier: religion legitimises king, king protects and subisidizes religion, happily united both rule over the ordinary peasants and live at their cost. A very unholy and destructive alliance.

The little boy may not like it, but there are also other stories in the world beside Him.

And the documents show how Iran, at nearly every turn, has outmaneuvered the United States in the contest for influence.

Remembering the naivety and folly by which the Bush administration acted, that really is no surprise.
Strange.
Compared to lil' Cesar on all channels these days, one almost misses those old times.

In addition, Stone's own former right-hand man, Rick Gates, has furthered the evidence of a direct connection to Trump and Trump's knowledge of and complicity in Stone's activities. The biggest problem for Trump may be his written responses to the written questions posed by Mueller during Mueller's investigations, which are being contradicted, under oath, by the accounts of Bannon and Gates. If it is proven Trump lied (and, I know, Trump lying is hardly possible

) in his responses, he is open to charges of lying to a Federal Agent, at best, or direct perjury, at worst, either of which is, actually, a Federal felony and an impeachable offense...

From the Mueller hearing:

Q: Director Mueller, isn't it fair to say that the president's written answers were not only inadequate and incomplete because he didn't answer many of your questions, but where he did his answers show that he wasn't always being truthful.

A: I would say generally.

vienna · 11-19-19, 07:54 AM

One of the things I've often said about the GOP: they aren't really afraid Trump will lie under sworn oath, they're more afraid he'll tell the truth under sworn oath...

just an FYI the Mueller investigation ended 22 March 2019.

the current impeachment topic is the accusation of bribery.

This is a pun, uh?

Very funny, but how on earth does anyone see the US Senate agreeing with the left wing democrats to do away with the threat of the POTUS running for a second term?

mapuc · 11-19-19, 04:02 PM

This I can say with a 120 % certainty

Whatever Trump are going to say in the witness stand ordinary people will depending on their standpoint towards Trump either accuse him for lying and some will say he told the truth

^ Trump will say it with 150 percent certainty.
