The Longer Democrats Wait, the Weaker They Look

[_Kevin Graham]

Intimidating witnesses to prevent them from testifying, obstruction of justice, refusing to produce his tax returns which the House can demand by law, refusing to comply with lawful subpoenas because he doesn't understand checks and balances and the fact that there are three equal branches of government yet he wants to be a dictator/CEO. And now he's telling Barr to refuse Congress the full unredacted Mueller report.

That's just from this past week, an not even scratching the surface of his previous felonies outlined by the Southern District of New York. His violation of the emoluments clause. His illegal actions on foreign and domestic policies that result in the courts constantly block him with injunctions.

More than 500 former prosecutors signed a statement saying Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice based on the evidence outlined in the Mueller report. Only the idiots with their heads in the sand think Barr is being genuine with his circus show level defense of Trump.

But oh yes, tell us more about Hillary. Those emails, right?

Christ, your blindness is staggering.

Do you actually read any of the posts here? I mean, it's not like nobody's talked about it. You could start here.

That's the kind of scientific evidence based response I've come to expect from a man who claims to base his conclusions on evidence rather than emotion. At least Kevin makes up fake news and calls it evidence.

The question was stupid. It's like asking if water really exists. I was reacting to an incredibly stupid question, due to the massive amounts of evidence.

You're the guy dropped in the middle of a lake and dying of thirst.

None of this shows that Trump has destroyed or ended democracy. If anything the rise of populism is a case of working class Americans reestablishing Democracy, only you don't agree with the majority this time. The only reason it's not democracy in the opinion of liberals on this board is that you all don't agree with Trump's agenda.


I can't express enough the level of guts and perseverance Trump has shown and what he has achieved. It amazes me what belief he was able to maintain even when things looked so hopeless after 8 years of Obama, Pelosi, and Harry Reid. I truly thought the cause was lost. Trump has proven to me that is not the case. I have a country that I love again, at least for a while.

The majority of Americans don't support Trump's agenda as we seen from the last midterms.
During the 2018 midterms, all the three rustbelt States that delivered Trump his victory in 2016 (PA, MI and WI), the Democrats won the senate and Governor’s races. Arizona elected their first Democratic Senator since 1988. And during the 2018 midterms, the Democrats gained as many as 40 House seats, which was the most House seats that they gained since 1974.

What was the hopeless part? The long, steady economic recovery that occurred during that period, the lower levels of national debt and lesser trade deficit with China then as compared to now, or the smaller number of illegals within the country then, as compared to today? : )

Intimidating witnesses to prevent them from testifying,

speculation, no law broken...learn the difference.

obstruction of justice,

speculation, no law broken....learn the difference.

refusing to produce his tax returns

Not illegal under current circumstances.

which the House can demand by law,

Only if their demand is legal and not politically motivated... a point made by Supreme Court.

refusing to comply with lawful subpoenas

Challenging the legality of a subpoena is not illegal.

because he doesn't understand checks and balances

not breaking a law.

and the fact that there are three equal branches of government yet he wants to be a dictator/CEO.

opinion and kinda weird...but no law broken.

And now he's telling Barr to refuse Congress the full unredacted Mueller report.

Not breaking a law.

previous felonies outlined by the Southern District of New York.

politically motivated attorneys don't determine guilt, courts do.
no law broken.

His violation of the emoluments clause.

arguable and no proof of a law broken....just your opinion.

His illegal actions on foreign and domestic policies that result in the courts constantly block him with injunctions.

"will result " is not same as did result and so...no law broken.

More than 500 former prosecutors signed a statement saying Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice based on the evidence outlined in the Mueller report.

Prosecutors don't get to decide guilt, courts do.
So...

Only the idiots with their heads in the sand think Barr is being genuine with his circus show level defense of Trump.

a disingenuous circus show is not illegal. Its actually a common tradition in DC.

But oh yes, tell us more about Hillary. Those emails, right?

Seems like your willingness to condemn over circumstantial evidence is a one way partisan street, ya hair fire baby.

[_honorentheos]

Claiming executive priviledge to block congressional access to the full Mueller Report?

Obstruction. No question.

There's no point talking to you. My dog knows more than you do.
