A True Public Servant Deals Trump a Crushing Blow

[KenH]

"Building on already ample evidence of presidential wrongdoing, Taylor’s testimony means that Trump will be impeached in the House. It will then be interesting to see whether the Senate, in adjudicating Trump’s case, stands up for integrity and national purpose, as Taylor has, or emulates Sondland and Giuliani by acquiescing to the president’s misdeeds."

What the op does not tell you is he only gave his opinion with no clear facts and repubs on the comittee destroyed it.

Trump has lost money since being in the White House. He saved the rust belt. I never got any meaningful raises under Obama but I got a very good raise after Trump brought the rust belt back to life. The Libertarians would shut the rust belt back down if they could enact their policies and the Democrats cater to the coastal elites and never expressed any sympathy for the rust belt other than telling unemployed industrial workers to learn to code. Libertarians seem to be saying to the rust belt states the old Clinton and Obama line of learn to code.

I don't know how it will help Libertarians to align themselves with the hard left against Trump. Since Libertarians are liberal on social issues, I hardly see how Libertarians can criticize Trump on social issues since he used to be a Democrat with social positions much like the majority of Libertarians.

Trump has done nothing wrong in asking that Biden be investigated for massive corruption. Hunter Biden was discharged from the Navy for drug use and has no particular training and yet made $50,000 a month in Ukraine while his father the Vice-President bragged at the Council on Foreign Relations, a liberal group, that he ordered the Ukraine government to fire a prosecutor or Biden would have Obama cut off their aid. Obama, who endorsed Trudeau and propelled him to victory in the Canadian elections on Monday of this week, has not endorsed Biden and has not denied Biden's story before the Council of Foreign Relations.

Taylor is a credible witness. As far as I can see, based on leaked testimony, is that his most damaging statements were hearsay involving Ambassador Gordon Sondland. We'll have to wait and see if the State's Department directive prohibiting Sondland from testifying holds. But right now, based on what has been leaked, Taylor's testimony could be trouble.

No it wont.

Why?

Democrats are going to impeach, no matter what comes to light.

The rest of the story:

Nolte: Adam Schiff Desperate to Hide Inconvenient William Taylor Testimony

Someone, somehow leaked Taylor’s opening statement to the media — and, gee, we can only sit here and imagine who that might have been.

Earlier in the day, Rep. Ratcliffe (R-TX) himself verified this while complaining (justifiably) about how he is restricted from revealing the full truth of what happened. He did, though, say what he felt he could:

"I found [Taylor] to be very forthright. He had very strong opinions about Donald Trump’s approach to foreign policy. But again, the mainstream media reporting that he provided evidence of a quid pro quo involving military aid is false. I questioned him directly on that. And under [House Intelligence Chairman] Adam Schiff’s rules I can’t tell you what he said, but I can tell you what he didn’t say. And neither he or any other witness has provided testimony that the Ukrainians were aware that military aid was being withheld. You can’t have a quid pro quo with no quo."

Using Twitter, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) said of Taylor’s testimony and the lapdog media’s coverage of it… “The leaks out of today’s witness interview have been laughably overblown and don’t tell the full story. Still no evidence of quid pro quo. Much of the statement and hearsay allegations didn’t hold up against any real scrutiny. The FULL transcript should be released immediately.”


“In 90 seconds, we had John Ratcliffe destroy Taylor’s whole argument,” McCarthy said. “We can’t really talk about it, but what we’re finding is just his questioning in 90 seconds refuted everything of what Adam Schiff leaves out there. There’s no quid pro quo, and what you find out in this process is all this information is just like that whistleblower.

How many threads about this are you going to start? By the way, these are Taylor's opinions. Not evidence.

He's a true Trump hater.

Whenever he thinks he has something negative enough on Trump, he spams the board. As usual, it all amounts to nothing.

Ken has one of the highest numbers of posts for all time, & one of the lowest numbers of likes. It can’t be easy to continue.......but he does. I attribute this to politically correct brainwashing probably suffered at the hands of an institute of higher learning. This brainwashing process is a nice name for programming.......like you do on machines..........or computers...........or drones. It seems quite efficient & unless deprogramming occurs, it seems to last a lifetime. I have a daughter who has been thus afflicted, & she is nearing 40, with no change in sight. It really is evil to the core when they steal your children’s minds. The institutions galvanize their brainwash by telling the students how superior they now are, & how they should pity others that haven’t been privy to their upgrade in society. I could tell you many hilarious tales of my daughter’s before & after education, you’d probably find it funny......I do not.

Turnabout is fair play. We will have to lambast the Libertarian candidate every other day whenever they get one. I don't think that any two Libertarians agree on anything.

I am better off under Trump than I was under Obama and so is my town! Libertarians and Democrats would not have done anything for the rust belt. Trump increased defense spending to supply the military which was literally out of bullets under Obama. He also moved to check China. And he cut corporate and personal taxes. I got a raise and a tax cut. One of the best times of my life.

That's not a fair appraisal because we didn't have likes until recently and Ken just came back after skipping a few years. I skipped a few years, too, but I knew Ken well from before and I came back before he did. Ken is a Libertarian. He is an expert on bluegrass music. Now we just need him to visit the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum in beautiful Kentucky....

Yeah if you liken the likes to post ration as an approval rating @KenH has an approval rating of 0.3% LOL

Yeah but I just joined in February and look at my like to post ration since then. I think Wingman is on to something there.

I know he is a libertarian. I know of other libertarians that don’t hold such leftist slants that he provides on a daily basis. I don’t hold much to labels anyway, one size never fits all. I appreciate your input.

I graduated from a very conservative Christian college - Harding College(now Harding University) - in Searcy, Arkansas, that is associated with the Churches of Christ.

I don’t give two flicks of one of my racehorses’ tails about “likes”. I couldn’t care less about a popularity contest on this board.

Thank you, @church mouse guy. You are an honorable man and I appreciate your friendship. We may not always agree but we disagree without turning it into personal attacks.
