Saudi's...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I know we still need their oil but what are they doing in an American military base in the first place:

We know what the Iranian drones did to their oil facility so we also know they can't even defend their own country and they have to rely on us anyway so get 'em outta here!

Bolton Puts the Screws To Moscow Mitch...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

He's prepared to testify even though McConnell and Graham are aiding and abetting in the coverup with Trump:

Clinton's impeachment trial had several witnesses and it was perfectly fine with Graham and the GOP. Stop the damn cover up and let Bolton testify!

He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.
I have to disagree you, Russ. Trump has offered a defense: "breaking news": He's blocking Bolton from testifying...

As an aside, the DOJ just concluded, despite of all of Trump's lies to the contrary, that there was never any wrongdoing on Uranium one and no charges are warranted. Of course, the Bidens have already been investigated elsewhere in relationship to their involvement in the Ukraine and no evidence of wrongdoing was found there, either. And that was known before Trump came up with his corruption crap...

I think most of us don't realize how close he was to getting away with it. Zelensky had an interview scheduled with Fareed Zakaria, where he was going to announce an investigation into Trump's political rivals in September. However, before that could happen, the scandal was exposed and unfolded, and Zelensky canceled the interview. Without the whistleblower complaint, Trump would have gotten away with it.
He's going to get away with it anyway. Despite their oaths to the contrary, McConnell and Graham and others have already declared their conclusions in public. They don't care about intent or anything akin to it. Nor do they care about the facts of the case...

Jim,
This, of course, is coming from the guy who thinks Trump lost the popular vote because millions of illegals voted when they shouldn't have and Mexico is going to pay for the wall that hasn't been built save for 8 or so miles of it and can't comment on whether or not he agrees with Trump when he said Dubya's decision to invade Iraq was the worst decision ever made because Greg doesn't know enough about it.
What was that about taking somebody seriously? Lol!

Russ,
Congrats on the publication of your image.  Nice work!
Jim,
You may want to hear from witnesses but it's clear Republicans in Congress don't and they've done everything they can to block them with the exceptions of political targets like Biden and his son. While I believe House Democrats could subpoena Bolton and others, I also believe their testimony would not be heard in the senate where it matters.

Jim,
Speaking of hypocrisy, here's Graham screaming about having witnesses at the Clinton impeachment trial:
https://www.newsweek.com/lindsey-graham-resurfaced-video-witnesses-clinton-trump-impeachment-1480835
Now, both McConnell and him are doing everything they can to prevent witnesses from presenting testimony, live or recorded, thus actively or passively aiding and abetting in the coverup. There's no doubt Trump was shaking down the Ukraine for dirt on a political opponent and you don't want to hear from Bolton about it?
