Trump: A lot of the European countries are the same way so I think it's.something you want to look at but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine. I wouldn't say that it's reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine.

Trump: We do a lot for Ukraine.

Zelenskyy: We are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.

Here's the quid pro co


Trump: I would like you to do us a favor though.

Trump: I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike.…

The other thing, there’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do…

I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say
Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on the whole situation ..


but if the goal is to reduce corruption in ukraine, i’m sorry to tell you that only hard-core liberal zealots ( and you have to admit you qualify), would conclude that the Biden - Ukraine connection doesn’t look fishy.

Just when did Trump's goal become the ending of corruption? There was no mention of it in this memo or any other time prior to the other day.

Asking Ukraine to go after Biden/Trump's political opponents is NEARLY THE ONLY THING TRUMP TALKED ABOUT IN THE PHONE CALL (after he got done saying how much the US government does for Ukraine).


look, selfishly i hope that impeachment proceedings proceed, because i believe they’ll
hurt democrats. Flame on!

And Biden is toast. You asked why i said that, i said it because (1) that party isn’t going to nominate an 85 year old, rich white guy, and (2) he’s tanking in the polls. the nominee will likely be from the progressive wing.

if the dems were rational, they’d go with Harris, or at least with someone who can get blacks to come out in the numbers Obama did. Reduced black support hurt Hilary. I don’t see blacks, especially black women, rallying behind Princess Lies Through Her Teeth against the most honest President ever

Trump used US taxpayers’ money to try to gather dirt on his electoral opponent.

REMINDER: The whistleblower complaint reportedly is NOT just about the Ukraine phone call - there are additional bad (possibly criminal) things Trump and Bill Barr did. That's why Trump and Barr are still fighting to cover it up.

House Dems can now subpoena Giuliani and his phone records, because Giuliani held up his cell on Fox News and said it contained evidence that the State Department told him to solicit Ukrainian meddling in our election for Trump

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
