Republicans Barely Questioned the Witnesses.

[dont-blameme]

wvit has no direct knowledge of who called who and what was said, but yet wvit claims to know what was said by all parties on the phone call by what wvit was told.

All the pundits and network analysts.

Did you hear what Biden had to say about the hearing?  It was priceless.

He said he didn't watch but heard it was devastating.  When asked what was devastating about it, his response was, "Well you saw it."

Anyone who thinks you can impeach the president based on what those two said, is out of his mind.  They have nothing of significance.

It's funny watching you old tea partiers trying to make a silk purse out of the republican cow's ear performance that was put forth at the hearing today.

[wvit1001]

You wouldn't say that was unreasonable, would you?"

"Yes"

"Oh, uh... but you wouldn't say it was outlandish would you?"

“If you’re weak on the facts and strong on the law, pound the law. If you’re weak on the law and strong on the facts, pound the facts. If you’re weak on both, pound the table.” -- Oliver Wendell Holmes

republicans were today and will over the few weeks be doing a lot of table pounding.

[sine-qua-non]

The Dems were very outlandish today, their spurious impeachment partisan farce case is loosing its wheels

as I predicted

The fact is, the president of Ukraine said several times he wasn't under and pressure to do anything.  That's a fact.   In fact, he didn't do what Trump wanted, anyhow, and he got a heap of military aid to boot.   That's a fact.  The fact is, Ukraine is notoriously corrupt and that is a great concern.  The fact is, there are no facts to the contrary.

But Zelenskyy’s response is utterly logical – and acceptable — at home. Ukrainians are humble people. They know that they are receiving foreign assistance and that they had better be grateful for it. I did not hear any Ukrainian in Kyiv criticizing their president for being subservient to Trump. Why should he do anything else if he wants U.S. support, they would argue? Being in a war with Russia since 2014, Ukraine needs all the support it can get. Therefore, it must not criticize a major donor.
This does not mean that Ukrainians thought Zelenskyy told the truth, but sometimes a president has to do what a president has to do. Needless to say, it means nothing that Zelenskyy claimed publicly that there was no quid pro quo on the part of Trump. It only means that it would be unwise for the Ukrainian president to criticize the U.S. president.

The fact is, that doesn't mean that he lied.  That's a fact,.  You can suppose all day long why we might have lied, but that doesn't mean that he lied.  That is a fact.  The fact is, you have no facts that prove that he lied.  I don't think the people of Ukraine think their president is a liar, or that he wants his people to think he is a liar, even though youse slime balls do.
