Minnesota and New Mexico Adopt Soon To Be Outlawed California Emissions Standards

State’s Rights.

It may not matter considering the revelations in the news over the last two days. Trump won't stick around to be impeached just like Nixon didn't. Crazy to watch history unfold.

The only reason Dumbocrates pushing impeachment is to satisfy party ultra progressives who want Biden to step aside. Trump ain't leaving now, ain't leaving until his second term is up.

Weren't you chirping that "Moron Mueller" was going to take down Trump months ago? Yeah -how did that turn out? Stop believing all the bullshit you read in the Liberal Media as it is all fake, disillusion news. Trump will be a 2 term POTUS -especially with the sad state of DummyCrap challengers. Worry about our own election next month and help make our joke of a PM Justin "Black Face" Trudeau jobless!

All you uneducated republifascists, there is nothing there with Biden. The republifascist congress already thoroughly investigated this and found nothing to their alt.right disappointment. tRump is using his by now routine playbook and make up baseless allegations knowing his base will believe anything.
At the bare minimum, telling the foreign government to coordinate through his personal lawyer is illegal and possibly treason.
Throw the bum out.

gotta determine if asking a leader of a nation to look into corruption is a crime i guess

Libtards like truthy will literally stoop as low as possible to try and get rid of Trump because he is actually doing good for the country and they know if he continues to bring people out of poverty and minorities continue to succeed their voting base will all but disappear. The liberals have and will always do everything to keep the minority and poor votes and the way they do this is brainwashing them to believe conservatives are preventing them from succeeding which Trump has proved to be false and its undermining the libs power

Where do I begin. Biden's son is put on Ukraine energy board...an area where he has no expertise, he is paid $50,000 a month, his father threatens to pull $1.5 billion in US aid to Ukraine if local prosecutor investigating son's relationship isn't fired. Nothing there?

Same way they defended the Clintons and their foundation crimes. The only thing that PP left out was that the Biden son got that 50K/month for 5 years. Amazing.

Notice that the triggered liberal resorts to hate speech?

Truthy, you need to look up the word "fascist" because the definition is synonymous with "Democrat".

Good!

Ok,

If the Clinton's or the Biden's were actually guilty of anything (it's all been looked at) they would be charged and in jail. They are not. The Mueller report was hobbled because a sitting President can't be charged with a crime. Only impeached. It is an odd US law, but there you go.

Now we have the President seemingly holding back a $400m payment, calling a leader of that country, asking for a favour to dig up dirt/info on his main 2020 political opponent in exchange "....." for the release of the money. It's in the call record and in the Whistleblower's detailed note. You can read both online. And it will be in the Whistle Blower's testimony to a congressional committee. This is not a joke. This is different and far worse than the Mueller probe because the President's OWN actions are the focus.

Impeachment is not as high as standard or burden of proof as a criminal crime. It looks very much like a deal for dirt on a 2020 election competitor in exchange for dollars. And as we learned in the probe, the USA does not allow (it's illegal) you to take information or money from a foreign power to help your campaign. This action by the President is seen in this light. He should have learned this from the Mueller probe (it's illegal) but he did not.

That is the problem he faces.

Typical Liberal bullshit.

Any real criminal behavior by Liberals is brushed aside as a mere nothing, but fake, utterly baseless charges of a conservative are to be taken as gospel truth.

You still continue your hubris as a non-citizen when you think you have a right to speak...and you don't/

Canadian you really need to stop getting your news and education from The View.

paper trail evidence of money laundering to Hunter Biden and Ukrainian Government investigation documents plus US State Department documents are supposedly going to be released publicly in the coming days.

To use the favorite words of Democrats today “If True”. Biden won’t see the Iowa Caucus.

Read some real news this weekend to understand just how much trouble this WH is really in. And now the AG and maybe others who had hand in trying to bury the electronic record of the call. This is soooo bad you have no idea. It will touch many people. Most of whom should have known better.

Nobody in this site or with half a brain would want anyone on the National Security office of the USA knowing their name, let alone writing a report about their behaviour and sending it to the acting director. Take is for the incredibly serious thing that it is.

And here is Senator Lindsey Graham in 1999 talking about impeachment.

On January 21, 1999, the republican representative said of President Clinton, “A President doesn’t even have to be convicted of a crime to be impeached. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office. So, the point I’m trying to make is that you don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role.”

If you only have to consider conduct (actions and statements) we are way beyond what it takes to be impeached...

@CC You're not American therefore it is arrogant for you to comment.

Has anyone here even bothered to read the “whistle blower” complaint?

On the first page, 2nd bullet point. “I was not a direct witness to most of the events described.” However, I found my colleagues accounts of theses events to be credible ..........

You’ve got to be kidding, this is nothing but office gossip, it’s called hearsay evidence, which wouldn’t even be permitted to be read into any court record.

From before he took office the dumbocrats agenda has been to get the man by any means possible. for them the end always justifies the means no matter the facts. They have and are leading the country down a slippery slope to mediocrity in our values, our culture, our rule of law, our freedom, etc etc All for the sake power.

Actually, by going to impeachment with this the Dems have taken out their front runner, and turned even harder to the left. Before Elizabeth Warren announced her run,the extremely liberal Boston Globe ran an editorial telling her not to run. Outside of the west coast metro areas the rest of the country has never supported a liberal Massachusetts politician running for President. Even her support in MA is not all that great. Maybe Trump isn't as dumb as they think.

Cui Bono - who benefits from Biden being taken out by the Ukraine scandal? The obvious answer to the uniformed is Trump.

The establishment democrat power base knows that Biden really isn’t up for it and would lose to Trump. that if warren or Bernie get the nomination it will be Nixon vs McGovern or Reagan vs Mondale all over again. They need a safe known establishment Democrat to challenge trump. None of the remaining candidates excite the establishment money people (Soros) It’s not a big pool, John Kerry is likely to be attached to Hunter Biden as his step son and senior staffer were partnered with Hunter Biden. Tim Kaine? Michele Obama? Cuomo? Etc. none can get the job done.

There is one person waiting in wings for the call, the that feels as rightful heir to the Presidency, the one that the British oddsmakers still list as the favorite to be the Democrat Nominee. Hillary. .... laugh all you want but don’t think for a minute this hasn’t been contemplated. Then watch out for a political elite unity ticket to reclaim America. Her running mate will be Jeb Bush. All the establishment from both sides will line up behind that ticket.

Amazing the alternative fact world. Looking to break a record for down votes. Please vote me down if the below facts are correct but you cannot post that here.

@PUGPROUD 1) many board members are not experts in the market that the company is in. Board members from various areas bring a diversity of opinions, thoughts etc... 2) We had been dumping money into Ukraine for many years but Viktor S the "prosecutor" was totally corrupt and not really cracking down on anyone(go back even 2-3 years prior to the threat to withhold funding and there are many news articles about the corruption in Ukraine and Viktor S not doing anything about it) . Lots of people were getting filthy rich, especially some of the now current Russian Oligarchs. 3) Firing the prosecutor does not in and of itself stop an investigation (as was pointed out here many times about Mueller) and in fact it did continue and nothing was found. In fact the investigation was started almost a year before Biden even got on the board... and from the horses mouth today - Ukraine prosecutor said they dug deeply into it and nothing was found.

@Foncool - "paper trail evidence of money laundering to Hunter Biden and Ukrainian Government investigation documents plus US State Department documents are supposedly going to be released publicly in the coming days." - secret conspiracy info from Qanon?

@Vette71 - agree with the whole board thing being BS. They are all scratching each others backs recommending exorbitant salaries for each other... totally incestuous. However Biden is not the only one and besides he is dead now so...

@all - Lastly if this is ok... should the Democrats be reaching out to Germany asking them to investigate Trump?

Where do I begin. Trump had been unable to get loans from US banks due to several high profile bankruptcies. Russia needed to launder money and Deutsche Bank was willing to play. T got lots of big loans from Deutsche Bank. Now T is best buddies with Russia... campaign had 140 contacts with Russians... vastly more than any other country... he wants to get the sanctions dropped, or does not implement the ones Congress imposes, wants Russia back in the G7(8)... the peace plans the US has floated recognize the territories that Russia has taken from Ukraine.

The right wingers have and are leading the country down a slippery slope to fascism in our values, our culture, our rule of law, our freedom, etc etc All for the sake of retaining power.

Here’s your paper trail statement from fired prosecutor

https://www.scribd.com/document/427618359/Shokin-Statement

Hunter Biden is alive and well. His brother Beau died.

typical hypocrite republicans, states rights only when it serves them, these tighter emissions laws serve the greater good which the republicans are clearly in the wrong about

Again the sheer volume of the political spew is from the ridiculous Alt-Left. They will say that it's conservatives getting all political, but the evidence speaks clearly: the hatefully intolerant people here are the Alt-Left.

Want to know what it’s really all about and who’s involved? Read if you, have the courage.

Or how about this.

https://www.scribd.com/document/267364428/Soros-Ukraine-Strategy

OK I read it?? And? It was public knowledge as Soros promoted the same thing in a book around that timeframe. How to get Ukraine propped up (and funded) to defend itself against Russia while not breaking the Minsk agreement. Also when did scribd become some news source. Any Joe can easily upload some official looking documents there. Is there some Qanon message I missed about this?

I did read it, however there are numerous reports that the investigation was about conduct prior to Biden joining the board such as this one --> https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-whistleblower-ukraine-buris/ukraine-agency-says-allegations-against-burisma-cover-period-before-biden-joined-idUSKBN1WC1LV also multiple other prosecutors who worked with Shokin and afterwards all have the same but different story that there was no crime committed by Hunter that they could find.

Having said that I actually have no problem with an investigation taking place... again. If Joe is a crook I don't want him running our country. If Trump is a crook I don't want him running the country either.

@Vette71 - I stand corrected... Hunter is alive and well.

One of two things will likely happen:

What should happen is for the GOP to grow a pair and vote to impeach Trump quickly. Pence is then President. He is too much of a zealot to be president so have a real race for the 2020 GOP Nominee. Elect a moderate and stand a much better than 50/50 chance of keeping the WH and the Senate. Keep America great with a softer tone a smiley face and no crazy tweets. Everyone goes home happy and you can continue to wear your red hat.

What will likely happen is that the GOP sticks with Trump, the Congress is all for impeachment and the Senate votes not to impeach him. It's ugly and voters are put off. Trump is now a damaged candidate seen for what is really is and loses the Presidency and the GOP lose the Senate in the next go around. Happy days again with the Democrats running all 3 houses, healthcare, gun laws and everyone feels welcome in the USA. Do you really want that to happen?

If I was a GOP voter I would be calling my Senator to get Trump impeached so my party could hold on to power and keep things the way I like them.

Trump will win easily in 2020.

Nothing has to be proven. Trump violated the constitution by "Publicly" asking for Ukraine and China to investigate the Biden's. That is an abuse of power and denigrates the office of the presidency. That in itself rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. If Trump was truly concerned about the Biden's and this false narrative about Ukraine being behind the hacking of the 2016 election(instead of Russia)he could have ordered an investigation of this 2 years ago while the Mueller investigation was going on. Instead he waits until Joe Biden jumps into the ring to run against him. What's interesting is that even conservative Fox News is starting to question Trump and are baffled by Giuliani's wild conspiracy theories. The question is does this have more relevance then then the Aliens landing in Roswell, New Mexico and abducting people. Perhaps Giuliani somehow was abducted between 9/11/2001 and now. And mark my words Ukraine "will" find dirt on the Biden's because Trump is demanding it. Long live underground conspiracy theory's.
