Reading the transcript, Trump also seems to be under the impression that Crowdstrike is Ukrainian and is also requesting that Zelensky give him the DNC email server??

That's a totally new fucked up thing that he's admitting to by releasing this transcript


https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/zmjy33/donald-trump-ukraine-zelensky-crowdstrike-phone-call

This is being massively overlooked and its probably the more Actually Dangerous part of the call. Trump is basically making foreign policy requests based on InfoWars-level theories


What if he received secret information from Russian intelligence?

Also I loved how the Ukrainian President was asked about Biden and his response was immediately I cannot comment on that because I do not wish to interfere in your countrys election.

Basically accidentally blowing up Trumps whole premise that its okay to ask about investigating Biden

They did this before (same group of Republican defectors plus Rubio who wasn't there to vote today) and he just overturned it.

So this is sadly good news for like a week.

Under the National Emergencies Act, by law, Congress must review a national emergency for termination every six months. ("Not later than six months after a national emergency is declared, and not later than the end of each six-month period thereafter that such emergency continues, each House of Congress shall meet to consider a vote on a joint resolution to determine whether that emergency shall be terminated.")

Although given the wording "consider a vote" I guess they might be able to say "We considered, no need to vote" idk the parliamentary procedures here but as discussed when this first occurred, if one chamber of Congress passes it, the other must vote on it. So even if that were true if the House voted to terminate it (and why wouldn't they?) the Senate would have to vote again.

Yep. This is cherry picked and edited by the administration to try to get out ahead of the whistleblower.

The amazing part is how damning the best possible edit the admin could come up with is.

Well, I mean, it was a 30 minute call as stated by the memorandum and that doesn't look like it's 30 minutes of content. =/

Also, reading the actual memorandum and lol literally "I would like you to do a favor though" immediately after the President of Ukraine mentions buying Javelins from the US.

and of course the "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 it's reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very good to Ukraine."

Also not the biggest deal but lol at the President of Ukraine going out of his way to mention he stayed at a Trump property. but hey no big deal right.

The first of these is news, the second isn't. Nothing Trump or China says about the status of a negotiation should be seen as a honest appraisal of the situation until the deal is done.

China just bought a bunch of soybeans and this is the reason that the market has jumped today. A Chinese pundit says that Trump is zeroing in on a EU trade dispute now with thinking the China deal could be very close.

There is no such thing as a bipartisan candidate in the first place. Nonpartisan would be the term, although that's essentially a myth itself.
