US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

^ Reefer you silly poser, you add nothing to the conversation, go make a fool of yourself somewhere else.

Or go play in traffic, the grownups are talking...


https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/impeach ... el-beccaro
1. Democrats think Joe Biden is immune. The Democrats are saying that the Trump White House and Department of Justice cannot get information from the Ukraine on Biden because he is running for president and therefore is Trump's rival. By their logic, therefore, Joe Biden is immune from a federal investigation while he runs for office against President Trump. How very convenient and absurd.

2. We now know that contrary to news reports and Democrats talking points, the Trump call transcript does NOT indicate Trump withheld aid in exchange for election help against Biden. There was no quid pro quo. The Democrats sold a false story.

The D.C. Democrats want to impeach Trump for activities that pale in comparison to what people in their party has been doing for years.

3. The Trump call transcript also indicates that the current Ukraine government is more than troubled about the Bidens' actions vis-a-vis the Ukraine and on their own is continuing to investigate that activity. In addition to that, the President of Ukraine continues to say there was no pressure from Trump to do anything related to that investigation.

4. A non-tortured reading of the Trump call transcript indicates that Trump asked for assistance with an ongoing DOJ investigation, which, Andrew McCarthy rightly said, is not a violation of the law. Indeed, there is a treaty between the U.S. and the Ukraine that was signed by President Bill Clinton that is entitled the Treaty with Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters. That treaty binds the respective countries to provide "documents, records and other items" to each other upon request.

5. “Ukrainian prosecutors say they have tried to get this information to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) since the summer of 2018, fearing it might be evidence of possible violations of U.S. ethics laws” related to the Bidens.

In other words, long before Trump made a call, the Ukraine wanted to provide the U.S. information on the Bidens.

6. The Obama administration pressured “Ukraine’s prosecutors to drop an investigation into the Burisma Holdings gas company that employed Hunter Biden and to look for new evidence in a then-dormant criminal case against eventual Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, a GOP lobbyist.”

7. The Obama White House and DNC directly solicited Ukrainian officialsto get involved in the 2016 campaign by asking for dirt on Manafort and by asking Ukrainian President to speak on U.S. soil negatively about Paul Manafort. That is far worse than what the Democrat allege Trump to have done.

8. Hunter Biden, who is generally incompetent and was kicked out of the Navy for drug use, made millions off contemporaneous to trips he made with his father when Biden was VP. The Democrats see no problem with that. Imagine if Donald Trump Jr. did that. Those payments absolutely were made to buy influence in the Obama Administration and are more than likely at the center of the Ukrainian prosecutor, that Joe Biden got fired after saying he would withhold aid, “was making plans to question Hunter Biden about $3 million in fees that Biden and his partner, Archer, collected from Burisma through their American firm.” According to that prosecutor: “The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors.”

9. The so-called whistleblower was fed the information by others and his attorney worked for Hillary and Schumer. Doesn’t that sound non-biased to you?

10. Finally, anyone on TV who jumped to the conclusion that Trump broke the law was trying to make a headline not a reasoned judgment with all the facts.



In short, the D.C. Democrats want to impeach Trump for activities that pale in comparison to what people in their party has been doing for years.

That is par for the course from them these days and a disgrace to the Constitution.

The aid had been decided by congress. The president had nothing to do with it. He had no right to block it, nor did he have a legitimate reason to do so.

He did it just for leverage, and that could possibly be a criminal act.

This makes it very hard for the other person to deny that favour.
This is known as extortion.

A man who has made his money in construction and casinos probably must have a lot of experience in that.

In a real democracy you have strict separation between the branches of government.
For the executive branch to meddle in matters that belong to the judiciary is a strict no-no, and should be so both in the USA and the Ukraine.

Per wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 10:14 pm Just like he asked Russia to hack Hillary’s e-mails.
Did you IMAGINE that? :drink:
No, he made that request broadcasted on TV:
”Russia, if you are listening...”

VP Biden is on record bragging about having the prosecutor in that investigation fired, putting the brakes on the investigation.
Mmmmmmm.... you may have misunderstood that piece.

Biden bragged about having the prosecutor fired, but that was after that investigation was finished, and Hunter Biden was cleared, so it had no bearing on the investigation.

But the US government, as well as most other western governments, felt the prosecutor was not doing enough to root out corruption in the Ukraine, which is why they leaned on Poroshenko to have him replace the prosecutor.
So it is kind of the reverse of the spin story Trump and Giuliani are spreading.
Per wrote: Thu Sep 26, 2019 10:14 pm Besides, matters like that should not rest on the president but the FBI, or a special council. To bring it up in a phone call between two heads of states has a somewhat fishy bouqet of collussion.
That's quite the IMAGINATION you have there! :D

As I explained earlier, nothing wrong with the Prez asking a foreign gov to complete their investigation on a crooked US citizen.

It happens all the time ...
Actually, no, it does not.

In a real democracy you have strict separation between the branches of government.
For the executive branch to meddle in matters that belong to the judiciary is a strict no-no, and should be so both in the USA and the Ukraine.

This is why Swedish PM Löfven was shocked when Trump called and asked him to make sure Asap Rocky would be released.
Our constitution makes it quite clear that it would be a crime for the PM to interfer in a criminal investigation and try to influence its outcome.

It’s simply not how it is done in a democracy. But then I guess Trump has no clue to what the constitution is or what it .
Under him the US seems more and more like a banana republic, and sure, in those I guess none of the things listed above would seem out of place.

I’m just used to being able to expect more of that shining beacon on a hill.
Guess it’s lights out now.

But he didn't withhold the aid for leverage.

Dems said the phone-call transcript would prove the leverage theory.

It didn't.

The Dems were IMAGINING things.

And he absolutely had the right... as Prez... to delay the aid.

Again, it wasn't done for leverage. :roll:

And as shown above, twas the Ukraine who was pushing for the US to get involved in the investigation (back in July).

Trump was finally responding to that request, and offering to have US lawyers meet up with Ukrainian lawyers.

"Extortion" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Otherwise, the Dems surely would have begun an impeachment inquiry on dat dere.

Speaking of that, I heard after this one fails they're gonna start an impeachment inquiry on an overdue library book from 1972.

The withholding of aid paper work went through in two instances, one a couple of days before the phone cal, another, the day after the phone call. The Ukraine didn't know about it for another month.
