  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That isn’t the topic of the thread. Is it?

Here: let me help you.



An “exaggerated version” is a very diplomatic way of saying lie.

Schiff stated a logical implication of Trump's words even if you don't want to admit. Next to Nunes, Schiff sounded sane at least.

No he didn’t. He gave a dramatic reading of his interpretation of what he thought happened. Even Schiff is saying it was parody.

He did it to increase the narrative, add drama and make the President look bad. Plain and simple.

par·o·dy
/ˈperədē/
Learn to pronounce
noun
  1. an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.

    His own words admit it was a deliberate exaggeration

    He lied for effect, nothing more or less. Where are the fact checkers?

To each his own interpretation.
Schiff didn't need to say a word to make the President look bad. The summarized "transcript" says it all.

Ukraine President -- about those missiles...
Trump - I need a favor though.....

I see you have believed the parody.

Good talking with you. Good luck.

Exaggerating, lying has now become acceptable as long as it unseats a President you don’t like.

No. Biden didn't ask that Bursima specifically should be targeted, but corruption in general. However, Bursima was one of the companies which was not investigated properly by this prosecutor.

Are you saying that the only corrupt person in all Ukraine was the prosecutor that Biden demanded be fired?

What a ridiculous question. You can read what I wrote and see what I am saying. Why are you asking if I am saying something entirely different from what I actually said?

I can play that game, too, if you like. And I will if you keep it up.

I am not playing a game. Biden said that he demanded that the prosecutor be fired or he would withhold money from Ukraine. . If his intention by strong arming the Ukrainians was over corruption in Ukraine then why was firing the prosecutor the condition he said he set for gaining the money for Ukraine unless the prosecutor was the only corrupt person in Ukraine?

Are you saying you think the Vice President came up with this foreign policy on his own, not on the advice of the State Dept, foreign service, National Security and our European allies? And you think he waited for over a year after Shokin stopped investigating Burisma to oust him? I don't know that this prosecutor was the only corrupt official fired - do you?

He was the only one Biden says he demanded be fired before Ukraine was given the billion . You would have to ask Joe Biden if he was being inaccurate when he was talking about it as I surely would not know that. Certainly, from past experience with Joe Biden we do know that accuracy or consistency in his story telling are not his strong points.

And if the President of the Ukraine had told him no, how was Biden supposed to carry out the threat?

This should lead to Biden being investigated. If it wasn't for him, this topic wouldn't even exist.

I make my own conclusion based on what I read (have you even read the summary of the phone call?) and heard during the hearing.

It may be a laughing matter when someone you agree with does something questionable, but how does it become "corruption" when someone you don't agree with wants to look into it?

I'm laughing because there is no credible evidence that either Biden was involved in corruption. It's a nothing burger created by Trump because he's scared Biden will beat him. The only reason we're discussing this is Trump actions. But I get it, Trump isn't responsible for his own actions.

It was Trump's actions that brought Biden's actions to light.

Yes, because it was not all over the news at the time it happened.

Well, now that the Press wants to put the whole thing all over the news (because it involves Trump), then it can be all over the news about the involvement of Biden as well, although I doubt we'll see much emphasis on that part.
