I just read the phone call transcript. Two pols chatting, BFD. Sorry, but anyone who sees this as impeachment fodder is mentally ill.
Just using this as the standard example of how the moderates/centrists in the Dem House caucus are going to be viewing this if Pelosi ever actually tries an official impeachment inquiry vote.
If you aren't a TDS suffering far left partisan, that transcript is a bunch of political meh. It's a nothing burger, and certainly doesn't rise to impeachment standards. That is what Pelosi knows and must now wrestle with. The far left that is getting the most attention with the loudest screeching needs appeased to the point where they settle down and lower the volume, but the moderates and centrists of the party cannot go ahead with impeachment and get reelected, and they know it.
Once the whistleblower's agenda and background have been thoroughly analyzed, this only gets worse...for Democrats. Pelosi, again, knows this. Right now, she and the DNCC have the hardest jobs in America because their party is more fractured now than the GOP appeared to be in 2015-16. She gets reelected by default, so no worries there, but her majority, along with her power, requires ALL Democrats getting reelected, not just the crazy loons on the left who caucus with Ocrazio Cortex and her band of juvenile miscreants.
Pelosi does not have the votes in her own caucus to move forward with impeachment. This new thing does nothing but take more votes away from that effort, because as the above quote points...BFD? The time is drawing near for the folks not in the "impeach the Bad Orange Man" caucus to start going into self-preservation mode and distancing from the nonsense. That will make Pelosi look weak and ineffectual, an she cannot have that, so this will get buttoned up sooner than later. Bet it.
All you Trumpers keep framing this as a perfectly normal act against corruption, but that literally can't be supported by any of the evidence we have. No matter how many times you say it, it's still not true. Do you truly believe that whistleblower complaints are made because "a president is just innocently fighting corruption"? The complaint had to come from one of his own people, someone he appointed. It wasn't from a Democrat. It was one of his own who believed he went too far. That reeks of innocence like dog crap reeks of roses.
Um, didn't Trump pass a tax cut for the mega wealthy with most middle and lower class Americans ending up paying more? Is that not wealth transfer?
Hasn't he cut tons of regulations specifically for the benefit of corporations and to the detriment of health, environment and consumers?
Do you really believe that what happens after being president is somehow more significant than any of these?
Your logic is nonsensical, your reasoning is shallow and your moral compass is shot.
They protect corruption. Our laws protect corruption.
They are mad that Trump is suggesting that the political establishment used public power to enforce private demand.
They think that its illegal to say anything because it 'inappropriate' or 'unbecoming'.
Real bad behavior is having citi group name all your cabinet members.
How odd that you won't address the fact that it was already reported (link) in May that what you're saying is completely and utterly false.
Honestly, why do we bother? These people are seriously compromised. They are never going to believe Trump isn't anything but the first perfect human being in history, and that he's never done anything wrong in his entire life. Not even told a single lie. He's a genius, a saint, probably the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. They worship him in quite the literal sense. It doesn't have to be rational, it's just what they believe, and we're not going to convince them otherwise. Their entire self-worth depends on maintaining the illusion of Trump's perfection and infallibility. They would sacrifice their friends, their families, their values, their country and themselves for this man. No internet liberal, especially, is going to make them question any of that.
You're right, it's not unusual for that to happen. What is unusual is one head of state threatening to withhold hundreds of millions to force the other to look into a political rival.
The request was to look into Biden's self-admitted successful extortion of the Ukraine into firing their prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, of which Biden's son was a board member.

Yes, I know that's what you believe happened. You've said basically the exact same line dozens of times already.
