Another Giant Non-Scandal — Toldyaso

Yes, Trump asked the new Ukrainian president to take a look at the firing of the prosecutor who had previously been investigating a natural gas firm that was paying then Vice President-Biden’s son Hunter $50,000 per month to sit on their board.

No, there is nothing like a quid pro quo or a threat from Trump to Zelenskiy.

In fact, due to Trump’s broken speech, “if you can look into it,” and “whatever you can do”: is the closest he gets to even making an ask.

Democrats are on TV, premature ejaculating all over the place, pretending they have been proven right anyway. The MSNBC reporter just paraphrased Trump on the call as saying, “this is a nice country you have here, it’d be a shame if something happened to it,” even though there is nothing like a threat or a promise anywhere in the call.

Another MSNBC “expert” just explained “you don’t need a quid pro quo to have a quid pro quo here.” Dem congressman says bringing up the question at all is impeachable.

Talk about derangement.

This whole thing might as well be a Roger Stone jerk-your-chain dirty trick on the liberals, as badly as they’re shooting themselves in the foot over all their half-assed claims against this president.

The relevant quotes:

“I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down, which is really unfair.”

“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, what Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great.”

“Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution, so if you can look into it, It sounds horrible to me.”


Again: You want to impeach Trump? He’s guilty of genocide in an unauthorized, illegal war. How about that, huh? Oh… no? Obama started that war, so more Russia, Ukraine and other hoaxes will have to suffice.

Iran Bends Over Further, Will It Be Enough For Israel/Trump?

Iranian FM Zarif told CNN that Iran would be willing to sign another additional protocol to their Safeguards Agreement with the IAEA, “allowing for more intrusive inspections of the country’s nuclear facilities at an earlier date than that set out in the 2015 deal. The country’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, would also enshrine a ban on nuclear weapons in law. … In return for what (Trump) has said he’s prepared to do and that is to go to Congress and have this ratified, which would mean Congress lifting the sanctions.”

“We are prepared, if President Trump is serious about permanent for permanent. Permanent — Iran was never a nuclear weapons state, but permanent denuclearization as they like to hear it,” said Zarif.

Ron and Dan: Defending Saudi Arabia… Hardly Our Moral Responsibility!

President Trump’s decision to deploy more US troops (and more failed Patriot Missile batteries) signals the US Administration’s continuing determination to back Saudi Arabia in its aggressive war against Yemen. But what does it mean that the mighty US air superiority has been defeated by a few cheap drones and missiles? The illusion of dominance. Should we be engaging further in the Middle East…or is it time to come home? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

Latest Trump Impeachment Scandal is Also Garbage

He’s still guilty of genocide in an illegal war, so, you know, there’s always that.

But anyway, go read Reason this morning about the Ukraine nonsense.

Short version:

Biden and Kerry’s sons were cashing in on their dads’ connections in Ukraine and China, but there’s no clear evidence of their fathers’ corrupt interventions on their behalf in getting the “jobs.”

Biden pushed to get the prosecutor fired, but there’s no clear evidence that was directly related to any investigation of Biden’s son’s firm.

Trump pushed the new Ukrainian president to investigate Biden’s son’s firm, but there’s no clear evidence that there was a direct quid pro quo or withholding of “aid” like in the accusations. As even the Post admits:

Republican senators on the Senate Appropriations Committee said Sept. 12 that the aid to Ukraine had been held up while the Trump administration explored whether Zelensky, the country’s new president, was pro-Russian or pro-Western. They said the White House decided to release the aid after Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) threatened to freeze $5 billion in Pentagon funding for next year unless the money for 2019 was distributed.

There so you see another nothing.

But according to liberal media, if true this is a big deal, etc.

Read Peter van Buren on the death of political journalism here.

Update: Pelosi is to announce official impeachment inquiry over this shit. The Democrats are completely ridiculous/suicidal at this point. They do nothing but lie and assume and accuse and pretend that any unproven allegation against Trump amounts to a constitutional crisis demanding his removal from office.

For the record, I support impeaching and removing all presidents, including Trump, though I prefer for actual crimes of state, like war crimes in Yemen for example. (Trump and Obama both should be prosecuted together for their atrocities there.) But in this case, the Democrats just look like pathetic sore losers who will do anything to try to overturn the results of the last election, even with the next one coming up in a year. And making their front-runner’s son’s corruption the underlying context of the whole matter? They’re as stupid as they are loud.

US Claims to Kill ‘Al Qaeda’ Fighters in Afghanistan

Yeah right. USA needs an excuse for killing 40 civilians at a wedding the day after killing 30 civilian pine nut-pickers. So: Al Qaeda!

In this Fox News piece they don’t even pretend the “al Qaeda” guys they killed were Arab friends of Osama at all. One was Pakistani. One was Bangladeshi. They say. Oh, see “AQ in the Subcontinent” counts if the US government says so. And since they need the safe haven myth as their excuse to stay, we’ll be hearing more bs like this in the coming months — and years.

Year Zero: Trump, Biden, Saudi Arabia, and the Intelligence Community

Year Zero: Trump, Biden, Saudi Arabia, and the Intelligence Community

In episode 68 Tommy looks at the latest news surrounding Hunter Biden, Trump, and the deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia to defend against the threat that is Iran. Tommy speculates that given the history of business interest and intelligence interest merging that the reason Trump is once again being threatened by leaks has to do with his unwillingness to stick to the protocol of National Security laid out before him upon taking office.
