Where is his evidence one way or the other?  Another joke of a rebuttal.  

Got anything of substance or just words written by some guy at Axios?  


In other words its an "opinion piece" as Rod and company call pretty much everything they dont like smile

They networks are having such terrible ratings for their daytime viewership, they've switched back to soap operas!  

The most laugh out loud part of the whole charade is how much the leaders like Chuck Schumer emote and exaggerate beyond all recognition how this whole thing is going.  

I don't know if you caught his statement early this morning in his "press conference" but he just lied his ass off, saying  that all the Republicans were glued to Adam Schiff's words when he was speaking, saying flat out that the Repubs were mesmerized by his brilliance.

The lies and distortions about this thing are enough to make a person vomit!!  LOL  

Yep I saw Chucky spewing that BS.....I made a game out of Schiff's opening statement to see how many lies I could catch him in. (The only way I could stay awake though it) and there were at least 5 just pure bald face ones  that I caught.....

Sooooo within the 1st hour of the defense team making it's case this morning they have completely shot the house manager team's case so full of holes it has spilled out completely empty. Primarily using the testimony of the house witness's themselves.....They have no case for impeachment at ALL...... 🤣😂🤣😂

Dealings with Tom Godsey - Beware

Posted By Greg Shaffer

It has been a long standing policy here on AM that if you did not complete a transaction with someone then you should NOT issue a rating. Numerous folks have found their accounts removed as a result of violating that policy.

I would suggest you review the following: https://astromart.com/account/ratings/rate/about-rating-system

While I realize Tom Godsey initiated the issue by giving you a bad rating when there was no completed transaction in fact you are just as guilty as he for following up by posting a rating of him when there was no completed transaction.

In fact you can read a note from Herb below in his words on this issue.

1) you may NOT rate ANYONE that you did not complete a deal

2) if you do and you don’t remove that rating ASAP then I will delete the account which in turn will remove the rating for them

Thank you


Herb 


Given the above I would suggest you find the option to remove your rating of Tom or failing that you contact Herb at [[email protected]][email protected][/email] immediately. I am sending this to both you and Tom privately as well.

Dealings with Tom Godsey - Beware

Reporting concerns here in the forum as you did are usually fine......I would assume the permanent record of ratings is meant for praise and or reporting a problem transaction where someone actually lost something that wasnt resolved to everyones satisfaction. While disappointing in your case no one lost anything therefor a negative permanent record is not warranted and in fact in a number of possible circumstances can be unfair.....He sold basically to the 1st person who put $$ in his hand which is not that unusual.....disappointing for you, I get that, in fact it has happened to me but that really doesnt justify either one of you ending up with a permanent negative on your record.

But considering Greg and Rich show the same level of attentiveness to the Democrat's presentation as did those Republican senators that either were playing crossword puzzles or away from their desks, it's not surprising that whatever Trump's lawyer said today was taken as an "epic takedown." Pardon me while I puke..,.

Per Cooper's testimony they heard nothing prior to the 25th and that all they received on the 25th was simply an inquiry asking for the status of the aid which seems rather benign though Schiff and company would love to make it seem like a smoking gun lol.

Didnt find anything about the NYT piece you mention nor the supposed documents you mention.

The GAO started earning a reputation as partisan organization in 2004 and it has been shown that Trump violated no legal rules since they offered the opinion of it being illegal to withhold the funds.

I know you hate it Rod but grasping at straws isnt going to help smile

You obviously didn't look very hard for the NYT article:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/23/us/politics/ukraine-aid-freeze-impeachment.html
Your interpretation of Cooper's testimony is just that and nothing more...

The WSJ disagrees......and says the GAO started drifting from non-partisanship in 2004 smile

Perhaps you should listen to Cooper's testimony yourself, I did.......Pretty hard to get it wrong as it was quite brief and clear.

As for that NYT article, it wouldnt be the 1st hack job the NYT published on Trump and was written by andrew e. kramer who is well known for hatchet jobs in his capacity as a Moscow based NYT reporter. He also offers no evidence beyond his "unnamed sources" in the article. Gonna have to take that one with a grain of salt.....
