Nunes sues CNN over 'demonstrably false' Ukraine report

[rogue06]

I supported Nixon (going so far as advocating burning those tapes on the White House lawn). I'm happy that he was pardoned, but glad we still have the tapes.

He was a deeply flawed president, but a highly accomplished statesman.

Trump is half of that.

I liked Trump as the brash buffoon from the Bronx, but have yet to hear any defense of that kind of behavior from a president, and it's that behavior which makes him unfit. He has never stepped up to the challenges of his oath, to "faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and ... to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Buffoons, oaths.

In defense of liberal democracy, the presidency of the United States needs the authority to call out political purges by Xi in Hong Kong and the mullahs in Iran. Trump is openly targeting anyone who has ever supported his political opponents or refused to support him.

China is already the world's largest emitter, projections show they will have the largest economy within the next decade, and Erdogan has a free rein. Trump is withdrawing from the Paris agreement, has withdrawn from the TPP, and is inciting crowds against journalists covering his rallies.

In the wider picture, the details, no matter how compelling, are almost irrelevant.

Because America is the world's guarantor of liberal democracy, and our president is its speaker.

Individual actions can be countered. What can't be countered is the ongoing erosion of the authority of the presidency. Every world leader outside the liberal democracies will be pointing at him, from here forward, whenever it's convenient.

Do you think that your dislike for his style justifies impeachment?

[rogue06]

Wow, talk about conspiracy nutters!

It starts at the top and works its way down. Remember, Schiff STILL insists that he has a mountain of evidence proving beyond a doubt that Trump colluded with Putin to rig the 2016 election.

And now we have Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-CA) talking about that if Trump is re-elected that the Democrats will probably try to impeach him yet again. Apparently, she thinks that once the Democrats get hold of Trump's tax records that they'll find evidence of massive payoffs and bribes from Russia.

TDS is indeed a sad thing.

So there IS "overwhelming evidence"!!!! Schiff just doesn't want to reveal it because.... OH NOES!!!! He's working for the RUSSIANS!!!!

Textbooks on mental and social disorders will need to be revised.

I agree Nixon was an accomplished statesman - had he not been so danged paranoid, he'd have gone down as one of our greatest presidents.

Trump is half of that.

Trump's strength is his willingness to at least try to do what he promised - and he has in large part succeeded.

I liked Trump as the brash buffoon from the Bronx, but have yet to hear any defense of that kind of behavior from a president, and it's that behavior which makes him unfit. He has never stepped up to the challenges of his oath, to "faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and ... to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

I never watched the Apprentice and voted for Trump mostly because he wasn't Clinton - seriously considered writing in Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes - well, thought about it, anyway. But no, being a jerk doesn't make him unfit - in some ways, it's an improvement.

Glad I don't follow Twitter, though....

Buffoons, oaths.

Did you sleep through the Obama admin?

You don't like his FP - okay.

Sorry, I know you are trying for the ideal here, but no.

We survived Obama - and you are underestimating Trump.

When Mueller's report was released completely debunking the collusion delusion several of those in the MSM specifically cited Schiff's claims as the reason that they were deep in denial and refused to accept the conclusions.

That would not apply to what was quoted. The segment was discussing the potential liability in reporting an accusation against Nunes. It is, in fact. Clear that Nunes likely has little chance.

Of course.

Of course.

I am going to vote in our general election tomorrow. This is a difficult one. I will call on the Almighty for guidance.

[Mountain Man]

At least that's the narrative being pushed by the left.

Mr. Turley in his own words:
