Re: Is just a little competence too much to ask?
When Trump spoke to the press yesterday, he suggested pardoning Muhammad Ali. Ali's family quickly pointed out that his conviction was overturned and he doesn't need a pardon. The White House is also reviewing pardon applications of thousands of people who aren't famous and don't have celebrity sponsors. Then Trump made an interesting offer: he wants all the anthem protesters to send him the names of people treated unfairly by the criminal justice system, and the administration will review their cases.

Re: Is just a little competence too much to ask?
No, I will not shut up, as you and flock keep trying to get me to do. I have a paying job that demands a whole bunch of my time and focus right now. The evidence of collusion between the campaign and Russia is extensive and growing, but I'm not going to take the time right now to chase it down. (Here's a hint: Why did the House Intelligence Committee refuse to subpoena Donny, Jr.'s, phone records?) If you want to take the definitive position that it doesn't exist, then go ahead and say so (as you have) and when I have the hour or two (or someone else does) necessary to assemble it, I'll prove you don't know what you're talking about. --BobBackInTex wrote:If you can't back up what you say, then quit saying it.

Re: Is just a little competence too much to ask?
My bad... I misread an earlier article in which it indicated that Kilimnik left the Ukraine for somewhere in Russia. Their investigation into Manafort conveniently seems to have bogged down right around the time Trump made a decision to send them some missiles.Bob Juch wrote:When did he leave? Apparently his whereabouts are unknown.silverscreenselect wrote:I wonder how this Russian got out of the country when he was under FBI investigation.Bob Juch wrote:Today's news should put an end to this:

In another move seeming to hinder Mueller’s investigation, Ukrainian law enforcement allowed a potential witness to possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to leave for Russia, putting him out of reach for questioning.
The special counsel’s office has identified the man, Konstantin Kilimnik, Manafort’s former office manager in Kiev, as tied to a Russian intelligence agency. Kilimnik was also under investigation in Ukraine in connection with espionage, but no charges were filed before he left the country, after June. During the 2016 campaign, Kilimnik met twice with Manafort. In December, a court filing in the United States said Kilimnik was “currently based in Russia.”

Re: Is just a little competence too much to ask?
The only reason this indictment became public now is because there's a bail revocation hearing for Manafort next week and this is a centerpiece of the proceedings.BackInTex wrote: The original indictment on Manafort had nothing to do with Trump or the campaign. The fact that he may have tried to tamper witnesses related to that charge still has nothing to do with Trump or the Trump campaign. Nothing.
Mueller and his investigation don't leak. Every move they have made has been a surprise.
It's one thing for a person who is potentially under investigation to point out that there has been no "proof" of guilt. It's another for people to put blind faith in Trump despite the overwhelming amount of material that's come out, much of which has been independently confirmed. It's not as if there's anything in his background or conduct to indicate that he is the least bit trustworthy.

Re: Is just a little competence too much to ask?
Tgirl said some unspecified Jay-Z lyrics are misogynistic. I said, "Which ones do you have in mind?" I wasn't going to address his entire body of work, and I didn't think it was a fair response to find some random Jay-Z lyric and say, "You see? No one could think that's misogynistic." You pointed some out, presumably because you consider them examples of his misogyny. You're not Tgirl, but I didn't see her say that she disagreed with you that the lyrics you selected are an appropriate example, so I'll respond when I've got a bit of time. --BobBeebs52 wrote:Excuse me?

Re: Is just a little competence too much to ask?
You said there was no evidence at all. This story, and the evidence it describes, says you're wrong. Not biting on whataboutism -- this is about whether Donny and his campaign colluded with a hostile foreign power to win the election. His foreign policy, as illustrated at G7, is certainly making Russian dreams come true.BackInTex wrote:LOL. Really?

Re: Is just a little competence too much to ask?
I never said whatabout. Quit using that term to dismiss others' comments. I simply compared the "evidence" in both cases and said Clinton is more likely a pedophile than Trump colluded.

You are a Superman lawyer, for sure, able to leap across wide circumstances in a single bound to call them "evidence". Or maybe you're Stretch Armstrong.

I did. Twice. Tgirl said that some unspecified Jay-Z lyrics are misogynistic. I wasn't going to guess which lyrics she had in mind, so I asked her to point them out. That wasn't a work issue. You did what Tgirl wouldn't by pointing out specific lyrics. I promised a response and I still owe you that response.

Re: Is just a little competence too much to ask?
That's pretty much the definition of whataboutism -- trying to change the subject from the guy who's actually in office now to other perceived problems from the past. And there really is no evidence at all (that I've ever heard) that Bill Clinton was or is a pedophile. Or that Hillary Clinton ran a pedophile ring from a Maryland pizza parlor (which subsequently got shot up by someone who actually believed the bullshit).BackInTex wrote:I simply compared the "evidence" in both cases and said Clinton is more likely a pedophile than Trump colluded.

You claimed there's no evidence Trump colluded. You're wrong. There's evidence. You may not choose to find it persuasive, but there's evidence. --Bob
