Right? The most hilarious thing about all this to me is I think Trump shot his wad on a guy who wasn’t even going to end up as his opponent. It’s like if the democratic party back in '06 got caught conspiring to take out sure-thing front runner Rudy Giuliani.
Agreed, yet another huge mistake by Trump. He could have avoided this entire thing by just sitting back and waiting for Biden to lose in the primaries.
Oh no. Im fine with the line verbatim. It just seems some needed help with its meaning. Honestly its hard to make it any clearer though I tried. I only hope I didnt convolute it. It was best said verbatim.
Let me try again. Now remember that funding was already approved by congress. It had gone through escrow and was a done deal. Until trump froze it and said" Do me a favor though"
Its akin to If I sold you a car but I said “hey before I give you the pink slip I want you to do me a favor”, that would be kind of wrong and so is what trump did. Primarily because he did it for partisan reasons when National Security needs to be bipartasian wouldn’t you agree?
Because you are arguing simple meaning. 2+2=4. It is what it is. Words have meaning and consequence sometimes though rarly with trump. See if I was a trump supporter I would just be happy saying
" Yeah, so what?" What are you gonna do about it?"
Willful ignorance… He was required to release the funds by the end of the fiscal year or the funds went away. The pentagon warned him and gave him a deadline which he ignored. Congress extended the timeline in the CR passed on Sep 27th.
Watching Trump supporters twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain how correct it is for the President to extort Ukraine for personal political gain is hilarious.
