laffite Posted October 23 THE TRIUMPH OF DONALD TRUMP/ is the triumph of Vladimir Putin. If Trump is not removed, then Putin wins. How does that set with out rabidly patriotic righties. It doesn't matter does it, you all have scorched-earth mentalities. Better to have a Trump/Putin and descend unto hell than a politically boring and hated (by you) president who will nevertheless keep us relatively safe. Putin is padding his Trump-assisted wish list before the latter gets impeached. Just in case. 1 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted October 24 The President Has No Defense After the bombshell testimony by the U.S. envoy to Ukraine, the best Trump can hope for is mercy. "....I f I were one of the president’s lawyers, I would counsel him to admit the obvious—essentially to plead guilty and admit this was, in fact, a quid pro quo—and try and convince Congress and the public that it is not as bad as it looks. In my experience, defendants who stubbornly try to deny the obvious in the face of overwhelming evidence rarely convince anyone. ...... Taylor’s testimony undercuts the prior testimony of other witnesses, like Sondland and Volker. At best, their prior testimony was incomplete and misleading. At worst, it was materially false .... Bolton recommended that he write a cable directly to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Taylor wrote that cable on August 29, calling the Trump pressure effort “folly” and stating that he “would not defend such a policy.” Taylor said Pompeo never responded to him but he heard that Pompeo carried the cable with him to a White House meeting. Pompeo has a lot of explaining to do...... there is more to come. A smart defense team would get ahead of this by admitting that there was a quid pro quo, falling back to the argument advanced by some on the right, like Tucker Carlson, that the conduct was wrong but impeachment is too severe of a remedy. If Republicans quickly admitted what Trump did but insisted that they wanted the American people to decide Trump’s fate in December, they might reduce the damage and move past this episode, assuming they had the votes in the U.S. Senate to prevent conviction. If Trump refuses to allow them to adopt that strategy, he becomes Republicans’ own worst enemy. Because if Taylor’s testimony is any guide, they will reach that point eventually, and the road getting there will be rocky for the administration." https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/10/23/william-taylor-testimony-donald-trump-229875 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Civil wars are conflicts between two opposing groups in one country. Does not have to be geographical divisions, although that is frequent as in the American Civil War. Regardless, there is zero likelihood of civil war in US. IF there was one, it would not be based on any of the principles which Jefferson Davis stood for.

You don't even have to travel far from this board for that. I suspect any potential modern Civil War would end up like the Russian civil war with fifty different fractions brawling. The Evangelicals could be the American Basmachis. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
