George Conway thinks Giuliani's statement proves the investigation of Bidens was not in the interest of the country, but personal.

Quote:
"The investigation I conducted concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption, was done solely as a defense attorney to defend my client against false charges, that kept changing as one after another were disproven," the president's attorney tweeted. "The evidence, when revealed fully, will show that this present farce is as much a frame-up and hoax as Russian collusion, maybe worse, and will prove the President is innocent."


That's one of the problems with the Trump defense. There's a number of changing claims over time. It would help to stick to one set of claims.

So a foreign entity ( or not foreign for that matter) is making up false charges against our President in an attempt to destabilize US! And actually, it seems like they have succeeded! The leaders of the country are spending their limited time not doing the work of the people, but just trying to oust the duly elected President. You put a lie detector on ANY Democrat and ask them would they prefer a depression and a Democrat President, or the economic boom we are having under Trump, and I'll bet I know the answer....

So, sure, the matter is personal to the President, but so what? It is MORE important to the country. The continuing attempts by the Democrats to divide the country and nullify the 30+ states that voted our president in is despicable.

BEAT HIM NEXT NOVEMBER!

Isn't it important to know what the president and the administration has been up to, to help you decide whether or not to vote for him next November?

Whatever your opinion of Trump, you have to give him credit for booting Epstein out of Mar-a-Logo as soon as he found out he was a pedophile. Whereas Clinton continued to fly to pedo island on Jeffrey's private jet. Robach had the story on Epstein 3 years ago, [during Obama] and the msm kept the story under wraps.

1.9% GDP last quarter. Yes, the economy is on solid ground, but in 2012 when we had 1.9% GDP under Obama, Trump tweeted that the economy "was in serious trouble". The other day, he said we have the greatest economy in history, with the same 1.9 number. Trump's best quarter is Obama's 5th best quarter and he has yet to achieve over 3% annually, where he outlandishly promised 6% growth rates. I understand that GDP is not the only measurement in our economy, but all those other measurements were trending the same direction they are now before Trump.

I don't see anything special about the Trump economy.

I don't want to quote your entire post, trip. The point of passing a bill by either the house or the senate is to have it become a law. Just like when the Republicans would continuously pass bills to repeat Obama care, those were a waste of time. Now the Democrats are deciding to waste time bypassing a glut of bills that have absolutely no chance of passing the Senate, let alone overriding a presidents veto. How about The Democrats in the house work with the Republicans in the Senate to get something done? You know I'm joking. The Democrats in the house have absolutely zero interest in getting anything done other than ousting the duly elected president.

For Tripdufan:

I noticed that the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was not on your list of bills passed by the house.
http://diversitytomorrow.com/thread/2253/94/#post129203

Gee, I wonder why the democrats haven't passed it yet?

Are the democrats afraid of passing a bill which would likely have wide bipartisan support?

Hmmm, are they putting politics over country (again)?

Or are they afraid to give President Trump a win?

More from The commander & cheat

Quote:
President Donald Trump has been ordered by a New York State judge to pay $2 million to a group of nonprofit organizations as part of a settlement in a civil lawsuit stemming from persistent violations of state charities laws.

"I direct Mr. Trump to pay the $2,000,000, which would have gone to the Foundation if it were still in existence, on a pro rata basis to the Approved Recipients," Judge Saliann Scarpulla wrote.

The lawsuit filed by the state's attorney general accused President Trump -- along with his children, Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka -- of conflating charity with politics, repeatedly using charitable donations for personal, political and business gains, including legal settlements, campaign contributions and even to purchase a portrait of Trump to hang at one of his hotels..

Has Canada ratified it yet? Has the administration negotiated with democrats on their four major sticking points; labor protections, environmental protections, it's enforcement mechanisms, and it's preference for advancing interests of the brand-name pharmaceutical companies instead of patients?

If everything was just so cut and dry as conservatives make it seem...right?

If democrats were concerned about giving Trump wins, they wouldn't of offered him his wall money in exchange for dreamer protection. A deal, I might add, that HE walked away from.
