Smoking Guns
The credibility of the whistle blower is irrelevant. The Donald is a "water-head". Trump keeps supplying evidence that will be used in the Articles of Impeachment. Trump is so stupid that he may not realize that some of his recent statements are actually "confessions" of his criminal conduct.
Yesterday, on the White House lawn, President Trump pointed another smoking gun at the press. He publicly requested that China investigate the Democratic front runner in the up coming election. CNN has provided some details of Trump's latest request:
Trump raised Biden with Xi in June call housed in highly secure server

Washington (CNN)When President Donald Trump suggested — without prompting — that China should investigate Joe Biden and his son, he thrust another political grudge into what was already the world's most complicated and consequential relationship.
The move startled Chinese officials, who say they have little interest in becoming embroiled in a US political controversy. And it amounted to the latest extraordinary effort by Trump to openly request political assistance from foreign governments.
Thursday's comments weren't the first time Trump has injected Biden into his relationship with China, though he said Thursday he has never pushed Xi to investigate the former vice president. Nor is it the first time he has sought to trade favors with Xi, who this week celebrated the 70th birthday of his communist state with a note of congratulations from Trump.
During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests as trade talks progressed.

Trump's call to Xi, like Trump's Ukrainian call, was also placed on the most secure server available because White House officials determined that this request is illegal and the call needed to be "covered-up". Any request to a foreigner (or a foreign government) for help in an election is illegal.
FEC chairwoman appears to subtweet Trump over the illegality of accepting foreign help in election
Savannah Behrmann , USA TODAY Published 3:43 p.m. ET Oct. 3, 2019
WASHINGTON— The head of the Federal Election Commission reminded candidates that asking for help from foreign governments is illegal in an apparent subtweet of President Donald Trump
Ellen Weintraub's tweet came after Trump exclaimed that China should investigate former vice president Joe Biden , despite already being in the middle of an impeachment inquiry after asking Ukraine for the same thing.
"By the way, likewise, China should start an investigation into the Biden's because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine," Trump told reporters on the White House South Lawn Thursday.

Trump is a fucking idiot.
Since the day he was born.
He has tweeted that if he gets impeached, there will be a "civil war".
He doesn't realize that the "Union army" will be the U.S. military.
The White Supremacist "militias" are going to lose.
I guess tubby on the right couldn't find anything that fit him at the surplus shop.
It's hard to camouflage a whale.
The two on the left might eventually get ostracized for looking too metro.
Unkempt and unshaven seems to be a trade mark.
Very unfortunate colour choice.
I am betting that isn't water in his bottle either.
He's a really stable genius!
Mr. Ed was a "stable genius". Trump isn't qualified to carry Mr. Ed's jock strap.
Mr. Ed had a jock strap?.....
Mr. Ed was hung like a horse butt he really didn't wear a jock strap. Butt he sometimes wore a horse diaper that resembles a huge jock strap.
Note to self: Be careful what you ask Al.
Very careful
That's about the only thing Trump has said lately that makes sense.
Since Pompeo has no balls, he doesn't have a jock strap. Since it doesn't exist, it can't be "held" by anyone (including Schiff).
Trump needs one of these:
Crooked donnie's supporters will be crying "fake news"
Yes, Is that supposed to be Professor John Bolton ?
LOL !
Nah !
The guy in the pic has more sense.
Your cartoons are irrelevant to this discussion.
Trump is going to be impeached.
Are you attempting to defend Trump or just trolling?
You cannot defend the indefensible.
Yes they IS.
All the Democrats are doing right now, is looking to get the "Wack Job" vote added to their base !
If they actually "Vote' to impeach, they'll lose their "Moderates".
Why not just go for the gusto, by not actually doing anything but "Talk" !
The Democrats have begun the "impeachment inquiry" which will lead to the formulation of articles of impeachment. The House will pass the articles of impeachment to the Senate where "Moscow Mitch" will poop all over due process.
They've been "Inquiring" for almost 3 years now !
Because Nancy says it's "Formal", it's different now? (Coat, tie and long gowns required this time).
Yeah. It's "formal" now.
Trump's lawyer, Giuliani already picked out his gown.
Gosh ….. I seem to have seen that before.
Now....where would I have seen that ?
Hmmmmmmm………..
I don't think you can prove that.
I think Rudy should go with something a little more orange and in a jumpsuit style
Proof isn't needed these days.
It's all about "Feelings" now !
Besides, It's Hard to find "Reality" in the news reporting anyway.
Trump has the "Whack Job" vote. That's his fucking base!
Tis is an article about The Donald and his proclivity to provide evidence of his lawlessness.
Since you cannot defend the indefensible you can only post stupid deflections.
I see you enjoy cartoons.
Here's a clip featuring "Cartoon Trump".
Love to count the lies.
Considering the US was recovering from a recession he should have created more.
Obama presided over the slowest economic recovery from recession on record. Period. As for stock market highs- eclipsed by Trump's market highs.
Gave the insurance industry 17 million more captive souls that are forced to buy their product with no cost controls in place. The insurance industry can't thank Obama enough. The rest of us- not so much.
Lost tax payers billions on the bail out; screwed the lenders and vendors that worked with GM, and awarded his great UAW buddies something they had no right to in controlling interest in GM. How is that working out by the way? UAW on strike now trying to force the same concessions from GM that drove it under in the first place.
Not all memes are created equal; or intelligently.
That may be true butt TARP was a GW Bush program.
You said:
The meme posted by MrFrost is intelligent because of its accuracy.
The positive job numbers that Trump wants the credit for started in 2010 as the Obama economy recovered from the disastrous GW Bush economy.
This is from a Forbes article published in 2018:
I don't think moderates are going to stick by a sinking ship.
Thanks to austerity pushed by the gop.
Never say never.
It's a prediction, not a fact. It's a little difficult to prove a prediction until either it happens or it doesn't.
By that way, that cartoon a few comments up with all the masks, is it a relative of yours? LOL
It's nice to see you again. You fit right in on an article about smoking guns because you're a hottie .
I still have this old pic of you from the NewsVine years;:
YAY!!!! Fiery's back!
I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped by NT and saw you posting here!
Trout Giggles, Cobalt and Split Personality are here too.
We ought to put the banned back together.
Yes, we should!
I can't fucking believe that you're ridiculing cow bell on this thread.
Now you're messing with a son of a bitch
Hair of the Dog by Nazareth
There's my sistah! Happy ... no, I'm thrilled ... to see you!
There are some people who are as wise as the world is flat. Like inverse Einsteins. You know, those that always have a vacant top floor.
Oh, that's awesome! Smart comment ...
Have I ever told you I'm sapiosexual???
Yes they is? I sure hope no one ever copied your English homework.
I think he looks much better as a woman.
Statistics show that 69% of the population sees something sexual in every sentence.
Omigawd! I thought the exact same thing.
You know, when he was having his meltdown on CNN, I was mesmerized. I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't help but wonder ... and I wondered aloud to my newish boyfriend ... "why on earth didn't he have his bottom teeth badly veneered like he does on his uppers??"
Great fortune cookie message.
Love blushers.
There are roughly 375 days between now and the presidential election. How many more dozens of smoking guns will Trump hand us between now and then? And still some will vote for him.
The sufferers of TDS genuinely worship Trump, I've come to realize. Their psyches cannot handle the thought of their orange god being less than perfect, so they refuse to believe anything negative about him, even if it's something he himself has admitted. If they do have to realize that he actually did something, they excuse it - all while being huge hypocrites and also falling for any conspiracy theory that keeps their little brains from shorting out. Not that there could be too many brain cells involved, for them to constantly fall for conspiracy theories and be seemingly unable to understand what facts and reality are - their god tells them not to believe what they see and hear, but to believe his lies instead ... and voila, that's exactly what they do.
They don't care a bit about their country; their lack of patriotism is despicable and pathetic, as is their idol. I'm not even sure they care about their party, because if they did, they'd be supporting a rational, capable GOP candidate for the 2020 election. Idolatry is never a good thing, especially when your idol is as massively flawed and immoral as Trump.
I never really thought they'd go so far as to support treason, however. Even I am shocked by that.
I wish I could say I was shocked by this.
I have always felt that those who kneel during the playing of the anthem, refuse to say the pledge of allegiance and piss on the Stars and Stripes were the ones who lack patriotism, but then I guess it's because I've always believed those things stand for one's nation, historically and forever, not for a temporary governing body.
Even burning the American Flag is legal (protected by the 1st Amendment).
Butt I smile when I read stuff like this:
Sometimes there's poetic justice:
Now there a real "firey one".
I know I am in the minority yet, I have more respect for someone burning the flag over our countries own injustice than I do someone pissed off about it, blind to any injustice.
I know it's legal to burn a damaged flag, and do I recall there is even a process of burial in that respect? Sure, First Amendment rights can be invoked if you spit in someone's eye, and maybe even applied to protect the swastika graffiti vandals, but I'm talking about patriotism, not civil rights.
Burning a flag is actually proper disposal.
Nope, that's assault.
I'm just a fucking sadist who believes in poetic justice.
I'm not "blind" to American assholiness.
I have frequently criticized American atrocities.
Our "original sin" was the genocide of Native Americans.
Then, of course, slavery sucked big time.
@ Ender
I always thought it was a country's GOVERNMENT that was unjust, not a country. I really don't think the Grand Canyon, Cape Cod, Yellowstone Park and the great Redwood forests are capable of being unjust, only a government, which is temporary by democratic nature, can be. As I have said, in my opinion your anthem and your flag are symbols of your nation.
Woody Guthrie singing "This Land is Your Land"
True.
Butt there are other options:
I know, I just came up with that to make a point, even vandals painting a swastika on a synagogue is probably illegal.
I didn't think burning the flag out of disgust and anger was considered proper disposal of a flag. I think the rules apply to proper disposal.
From your quoted rules:
There can be social unrest. Imo the government has a role in laws, justice, ways of settling disputes. Even down to the local police force.
Change does not come from sitting on the bus where one is told.
I know a guy that collects unwanted flags, flags for disposal. He has bins set up at places like Sams club.
What he does is go through them and pick out any decent ones and give/donate them to someone that might want one. The rest they burn in a barrel.
Ah, that was an interesting allegory. I recall when I was 16 years old and was in Miami for Christmas Vacation, I got on a bus and sat at the back where I always liked to sit on buses, and the driver turned around and told me to sit at the front. I refused, and he said he won't start the bus unless I come to the front, and since there were a lot of people on the bus looking at me I complied. Of course that was a long time ago.
What I'm trying to say is why take it out on symbols of your country and disparaging the country you live in? Hey, what has the Shenandoah Valley and the Catskill Mountains done to you? Surely there are more accurate ways to protest your government. Peaceful protests are valid forms, but not rioting and damaging private property and looting stores, but writing letters to the editors, forming rallies, posting ads, bulletin boards, etc. make sense, and in your case, elections are the way to change things.
Property damage is a crime.
Peaceful protests (and writing letters to the editors, forming rallies, posting ads, bulletin boards, etc.) are covered by the First Amendment. In the video below, the cop committed a crime.
Lion's Clubs generally have bins out front for discarded prescription glasses and worn flags.
Sad, isn't it. And Trump is one treasonous POS. He thrives on chaos and his supporters give it to him.
I cannot begin to tell you how many friends who have served our country have gotten irate at Trump's insistence that kneeling football players be fired. They are all of the notion that they joined the military and all that it entails in order to protect the right of peaceful protest. That's what America is all about. We should not have an autocrat for a president. They joined to keep America safe from autocrats, despots and tyrants. And that's what we have in office now. An impossibly insecure and unforthcoming POS.
correction - should have been 400
Come on people. We all know it is smocking gun.
Yep!
Found it!
Yeah, and it's now a moat point.
The only thing I can say to that is...covfefe
I remember when we joked about Trump's wall being electrified with a moat full of alligators at its base.
As it turns out Trump is the fucking joke. But I still like the Monte Python solution:
That's one of those amusing gentle insults. Another one is one I overheard: 'Jellyfish have survived a million years without brains or hearts. That should make some on the right feel better.'
Ugh. I hate people that smack their gum. Oh wait ... where are my reading glasses?
Remember to thank Trump when he turns over the Senate and White House to democrats. He did a fine job handing over Congress to us.
Lock him up!
The idiot actually believes he can pardon himself.
Sure he can say "pardon me" when he farts (butt it still stinks).
Even if Trump receives a "Ford/Nixon type blanket pardon" from Pence, he will still face state charges in NY.
So, yeah: LOCK HIM UP!
The original smoking gun was a whistle:
Butt, even though Trump has publicly confessed to soliciting help from foreigners (and, of course, foreign governments) there is a lot of whistling surrounding The Donald.
This is what D.C. sounds like now:
Get the whistle outa here, this is much nicer...
I think Trumplethinskin should keep talking and tweeting. He's putting the White House in a box for the left-leaners. I understand Giuliani is out of country looking for a big bow to wrap it up.
Thank you, Trumplethinskin. Keep talking. Keep melting down. Since some right leaners support you, you won't be able to keep your lyin' traitorous trap shut. Thank you. One of the funniest moments in the last few days:
"Check, please!!"
Oh my. Seems the call from some of the smarter Traitor-In-Chief's supporters is for him to resign .
Trump checks every one of these boxes
And the dumb fucks are going to fall for it like they do every single time for this schmuck. He sells them plastic straws, he sells them foam bricks, and now he wants to sell them another t-shirt. He calls his supporters idiots every day in some form or fashion and they don't get it. Oh. My. Gawd. What a bunch of suckers. And where's the money going? Straight into the Traitor-In-Chief's coffers. He's actually charging them for their stupidity.
Suckers. They deserve to be fleeced by the traitor.
Tom Hanks has a new t-shirt:
