Trump claims ‘Absolute Right’ to Solicit Collusion

Thank you, @Timb.

I also enjoy your posts Tee. It’s clear you inform yourself before you post and I find them always interesting. keep it up!

 

I don’t say it because I’m the new guy here and don’t want to seem like a kiss-ass, but your posts are always quite excellent as far as I’m concerned too. I especially like the ones where you agree with me :wink:

Okay. Weighing in, FWIW, as a professional wordsmith, and as someone who thinks Trump is a threat to world democracy.

I agree with @widdershins about the title of this post. @citizenschallengev3 can say what he wants, but if this were a headline in the media, it would piss me off.

It reminds me of the debate on late-term abortion in the 2016 campaign: “If elected, Hillary pledges to allow moms to kill their unborn babies until the moment of delivery!”


Fortunately I wasn’t writing for a newspaper, I was posting at a sleepy forum, hoping to kick up a little conversation.

As for my misrepresenting the presidents actual words - by golly damned me. Guess I inadvertently mixed in a few years of observing this sociopathic president getting his way. I stand corrected and no offense intended.

 

But, like I say the normalization is really the amazing thing I’m struggling with as much as anything…

Oh but you know what just occurred to me. If you want to argue the niceties of ABSOLUTE RIGHTS hows about this one:

Read the White House Letter in Response to the Impeachment Inquiry

OCT. 8, 2019
In a letter to House Democratic leaders, the White House counsel, Pat A. Cipollone, called the House’s impeachment inquiry illegitimate, saying the administration will not cooperate unless until the House votes to open an investigation.

just say’n :slight_smile:

 

I think T rump should get another ghost writer and write “Becoming a Dictator for Dummies”. In it he could share his top two dozen tactics that help along the way. e.g., Tactic #17: Whenever someone tries to get evidence on you, Stall… Stall… Stall… Stonewall!
