    It's like Trumps Healthcare plan. All wind and bluff. Empty vessels and all that.

    How many arrests have arisen from the Durham report?


    How many arrests have arisen from the Mueller report?


    Just asking the questions

    Ah sugar, they finally got Hillary.

    After all the previous investigations changed nothing.

    She’s definitely definitely definitely getting locked up this time.

    I think it is naive for any of us to think Donald or Hillary will be seeing any jail time.

    Sussman has denied represented the Hilary Clinton campaign. He did represent the Democratic National Committee when the russians hacked its computer network.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,020 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    Has Hillary been indicted as an unnamed co-conspirator in a court ruling?


    They're in no way equal in proven criminal corruption, nor are they equal in the recorded testimony that they have given in front of committees

    Man if you think Donald Trump will do time then your entitled to believe that but I wouldn't be counting on it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,311 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    God bless your patience.

    It's not like they'll listen, but fair play for setting it all out (again)

    And everybody with half a brain knew an acquittal would be a 100% certainty both times. The whole purpose of the impeachments were to stain his record by weasels who pretend to value democracy. .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,158 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    Even some of those who voted not to impeach him blamed him for the insurrection. They used the excuse that it wasn't appropriate to impeach him at that time, not that he wasn't at fault.

    Do you think he should be held accountable? Or can you explain how the supposed party of 'Law and Order' shouldn't seek to apply that ideal to those who led to the Capitol being stormed as it was.

    And everybody with half a brain knew an acquittal would be a 100% certainty both times.

    I wonder if the people with whole brains were so full of ignorant certainty? 😐️



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,311 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Again.

    What trump did was clearly worthy of impeachment and removal, but God forbid he ever be accountable. In come his excuse monkeys, blaming everyone apart from the guy who did the deed.

    Unbelievable.

    No wonder Trump got as far as he did in life with little or no consequences. He had millions of subjects, willing to throw themselves on the fire before he ever suffered any consequences.

    You'd wonder what kind of mental disposition causes someone to be so blind to someone's flaws that they immediately defend the indefensible and try and deflect blame away from him.

    Up almost 4% in last week.

    Does anyone know is there any sites that do upto date polls from swing states?

    Would be interesting to see what those people are thinking.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,976 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    I love that they think it was the impeachment that stained his record. So cute



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,020 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    Can you answer questions posed to you rather than this

    You've already been asked this question (and ignored it) , but why is this performance from Trump viewed as a positive , but the Biden numbers from the same polling firm which are almost identical are some kind of raging disaster??

    So , for the second time - Please explain the difference in how you are choosing to interpret what are almost identical figures?

    And while we're at it , as has been repeatedly pointed out to you "disapproving of Bidens performance" does not mean "Will vote for Trump"

    Latest polling has Biden beating Trump by 10 points in a hypothetical Election.

    He's not going to pick up his momentum again

    Agree with that. That's a big part of why Trump shouldn't be president again, leaving aside the whole attempting to subvert democracy and undermine faith in the electoral process without any evidence and trying to demonise any media which criticises him and dispensing with civility towards political opponents....

    OK, actually maybe not a big part vs. all the other stuff, but still not inconsiderable - he's a complete fair weather captain. It was like he was bargaining on riding the functional economy he inherited from the Obama toward a second term and hoping against hope that no major problems came along to highlight his utter incompetency and ignorance. The moment a big crisis hit, he started flailing like the big baby he seems to be. Instead, he was publicly disagreeing with his scientific advisors and pointing the finger at everybody else except himself. He reminded us constantly that the virus came from China, which was true, but the problem is it doesn't really matter at that point so much as effectively dealing with the thing at hand. It would be like if Russia launched an ICBM at the USA, and Trump went on TV going, "The Russia Rocket is on it's way, folks, and it's Russia's fault they launched it. So evil...so evil...so unfair. CNN probably has something to do with it. The rocket may be using their broadcasting towers as radar beacons. We don't know... we don't know.", instead of just telling people the situation and what, if any, emergency plans were in place to aid survivors and to take cover and stay outside urban centres and all that good stuff. In short, deal with the crisis and end the crisis if you can, and deal with blame after the fact.

    Knowing how slavishly Trump's base adheres to his word, they would have went along with him if he'd gone about things more maturely, and independents wouldn't have been turned off him so badly. But, no. He couldn't even do that. It's his own fault that he is no longer president, but that is a fact he cannot accept because he is such an incredible narcissist who has never accepted his own failings his whole life.

    Having flashbacks to Pete saying that there would be huge Durham revelations around election time... 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,690 ✭✭✭Celticfire


    Trump lifts 14 plus boxes of sensitive confidential documents from the WH - crickets

    Please present your evidence of this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,158 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    Would you take Fox News's word on it?

    In the grand scheme of things, Donald Trump has bigger problems to deal with than 15 boxes of papers.


    .................


    Trump has now turned over to the National Archives the papers he took to Mar-a-Lago, said to include his correspondence with Kim Jong-un and the famous hurricane map he altered with a Sharpie to buttress his argument with federal weather forecasters.


    But The New York Times reported Thursday that the Archives has "discovered what it believed was classified information in documents Donald J. Trump had taken with him from the White House as he left office," according to an unnamed source.

    Donald Trump’s accounting firm cut ties with his company and retracted financial statements central to two investigations, court papers show.


    Hummm.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,094 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    10yrs of financial statements deemed unreliable and not only dropping Trump but citing a "non waivable conflict" of interest as a reason to refuse to ever work with him again 🤔

    That particular choice of phrase points to Mazars being culpable and cutting a deal. The ethics provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley spring to mind here and the fact that they may feel that they "unwittingly" participated in a criminal activity and as such are seeking to recuse themselves from further involvement with the party they believe culpable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,158 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    Wow.

    Imagine an accountancy firm choosing to walk away from such business at any point, but then add in that this is the former President of the United States. That's a massive deal. Ordinarily it would a feather in the cap of a firm to say that they are representing someone who used to be President, they are absolutely cutting and running from him. Will be interesting to see if it comes out as to how much of a con he was trying to pull for the ten years referenced.

    Now Durhams 'revelations' are starting to make sense. I thought it was because of the Mueller news from Saturday, you never know with this guy and his cohort of shysters.

    And of course, many jumped to attention to fight the good fight on his behalf. Sickening that this guy is still in the conversation as a potential future holder of the office. I said at the weekend with his panicked press release that I see it happening less and less, this makes me think he's odds just went out another chunk.



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,932 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    As I understood it , it has never really been "Mazars" per se that were acting as his accountants.

    He was using a small firm in Long Island and more specifically a single guy there , that firm was acquired by another firm which in turn was acquired by Mazars , but at all times the one same guy from the small firm in Long Island was Trumps accountant and no one else was allowed look at his accounts.

    This article gives a good bit of background.

    Clearly though , something major is about to become public and Mazars are rushing to try to wash off the stink before it sticks...

    Anyone with half a brain would know what impeachment meant before they stated that Trump had avoided being impeached twice.
