You don't know what evidence is, you have demonstrated that multiple times and I have chided you for your Google law degree multiple times for just that reason.Doc Holliday said:YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE OF THIS. NONE.quash said:Last time I'm gonna say this, because you are plainly trolling now: Libertarians have a small thing for freedom, we don't like big govt, and we sure as hell don't like authoritarians who who abuse their power. Trump used the power he has to interfere with congressionally authorized funding in order to secure a personal benefit to his re-election campaign.Carlos Safety said:quash said:Perhaps you miss all the times I point out how Congress has delegated too much of its constitutional authority to the executive. Here, Congress responded to an executive request for money for foreign military aid. But nothing in the aid package was for campaign requests.Carlos Safety said:That the President would have plenary or near plenary power to conduct foreign policy does not make him Imperial. It makes him the President acting within his power.quash said:Trump withheld congressionally appropriated funds. Your support for an imperial.presidency is precious.Carlos Safety said:Trump cannot interfere with U.S. policy. He sets U.S. policy. And you can only speculate why he did and said what he did and said because (a) we still have no first-hand account of much of anything and (b) it is quite likely he wanted an investigation into the Biden affair to see if a criminal act was committed.quash said:You have a funny sense of what is corrupt. Trump was interfering in U.S. policy to benefit his campaign.Carlos Safety said:The DNC's top candidates are all corrupt. You are upset that Trump is merely conducting foreign policy. Clean up your own house.quash said:Many of us condemned the DNC and it's superdelegate scam.Carlos Safety said:Umm corruption is important to you. I could take that a little more seriously had the Democrat party (a)not selected Hillary as its last nominee and (b) rigged the nomination against the avowed communist, Bernie. Those were the Democrats' #1 and #2 candidates. And of course, there are all those years of Democrats accepting money from Trump and his business concerns. None of this bothered anyone until Trump beat the ears off of Hillary.Porteroso said:
What does 2020 have to do with this? The election will have no relevance to these impeachment proceedings. If anything, it will be an indicator of how much corruption is acceptable for a President.
Sad that the media and politicians will seek to divide us by degrees of corruption, when all politicians are almost by default corrupt.
And my house is clean.
No, your house is not clean. You are Democrat. Stop trying to claim otherwise.
And your concept of libertarians is as warped as your definition of "corrupt".
You are no libertarian. Go sell your crazy to someone who is buying.
Plenary power over foreign policy is fine. Withholding duly appropriated funds for a campaign benefit is not any kind of foreign policy. It is an abuse of authority. Libertarians have a problem with excess govt power. Maybe you should expand your knowledge of what libertarians stand for. Worshiping power ain't i it.
You are speculating that Donald Trump was requesting a campaign benefit and even if he was it is not an impeachable offense. You are no liberterian.
I know that your talking points are all about liberal bias and hate and Deep State bogeyman. The Coup Cucks Clan are out in full force.
But you don't have to be a liberal, or part of the Deep State, or a socialist or a Democrat to have problems with this president. Republicans from George Will to Ann Coulter to Judge Napolitano are critical of our president and they cannot all be labelled liberal, not in any sensible use of that term.
Rather than being a t-shirt fan of a TV star, try viewing the world from a set of principles and judge every elected official by those principles. Instead of celebrating being on the winning team, try celebrating advancements in liberty and economic freedom.
And all caps is not persuasive.
I consider the partial transcript as evidence, as well as the testimony of Hill, Vindman, Sondlund and others. You should go to Fox and watch Judge Nap lay out the evidence.
“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” (The Law, p.6) Frederic Bastiat
