Donald Trump is digging his own grave

No, the use of a possessive in such a case is prejudicial and wrong. There is nothing wrong with the Judicial Department making sure that the President stays on the straight and narrow. You implied that it was Trump's. You went far past what you try to claim in this post.

It is Trump's Justice Department though. Trump is an American.

So those single activists makes the whole department going after Trump. Shows how little influence, power, and management skills Barr has. Meaning, Trump hired an inept boss for DoJ. Again, it shows Trump's inability to be a leader.

I was only expressing the Department the Whistleblower is from, and significance of the reports from 2017, that explained the radical left wing activism in that department that was noted by the public media.

It will be old news, as I remember it from 2017, but I'm sure I could. Do I need to? I mean, you guys were pretty hasty the other day when others and myself were asking for sources.

Please provide evidence that the justice department is full of left wing activists

@Jollybear so trump didn’t care about about Biden corruption because he didn’t trust the former Ukraine president? If that’s the case why did trump give that former president 200 million in military aid?
 
Yes, there is a massive conspiracy to keep people aware. They pay me hundreds of dollars per post where I refute nonsense.

Is that a joke or are you serious? Be official here. Do you get paid to be on here and post what you do?

Now as to what an ad hominem is we must first look at what you really mean. You mean to say "ad hominem fallacy". The facts are that people are as I have described them. But that still may give you an out. An ad hominem fallacy is when one uses an attack to try to prove someone wrong, but I have not done that.

You have not done that? Really? How have you not done that?

I have merely used the fact that a person is an idiot means that he is not a reliable source.

So calling someone an idiot BEFORE you refute or address the POINT that person made, THAT to you is NOT an ad hominum? Do i understand that correctly?

There an idiot simply because there unreliable and there unreliable because there human and humans have flaws, do i understand that part correctly too? And because they have flaws, this prevents them from making a solid point on a subject?

I never said that he was right or wrong, simply that one could not reasonably rely on such a person as an authority.

Ok, you never said he was right or wrong, well, why not say what one you think he is and WHY you think the point he made is wrong?

In fact what I was pointing out correctly was that you made the error of appealing to false authority. O'Reilly is not an authority on the topic that you tried to use him for. But rather than explaining that it is simpler to point out that the man is an idiot.

This word authority does not apply because thats not how im using him. Im using him to astablish a simple point. That point was that trump believed obama, hillery and BIDEN wer corrupt BEFORE biden ran for presidency. Thats the ONLY reason i used him for. I used him for NO OTHER POINT, BUT that.

Is this what you were looking for in the other thread?

Your another preacher of your view. Most of you dont debate, you just preach. Also, trump isnt my god.
You want debate? Here it is, then. Alexander Hamilton, one of the Framers, nailed it when he said, regarding high cremes, "the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils" was one of the Framers' greatest fears, and loomed large in how the went about writing the Constitution. And Donald J. Trump swore an oath to "defend the Constitution," because the Framers knew full well that it could not protect itself.

Trump many claim that he is "only interested in corruption," but his actions speak volumes -- by his actions he is clear that he only cares about corruption when it might involve the name "Biden." And that name, Biden, is, by every poll so far, his chief rival in the next election to retain his position. Therefore, his request to the Ukrainian President (and now to China) is one aimed directly at doing damage to his chief rival, which is entirely about securing Trump's own re-election. And that is clearly in his own, personal interest, not that of the nation.

Seven Democrats, from swing districts, and therefore at very great danger to themselves, wrote in a powerful op-ed in the Washington Post, "These allegations are a threat to all we have sworn to protect." They, therefore, unlike Trump, are putting the Constitution, and therefore the nation's interests, ahead of their own.

Like I said, the Constitution can't protect itself. Only those sworn to that duty can do that. And if they are derelict in that duty, like Trump is certainly, then they should pay the price.

The first article details a claim made by Liz Cheney and in that same article it called that claim false.

The second says nothing about the justice department being taking over by left wing activists. Instead it says, . There’s nothing unusual about the entire national security bureaucracy of the United States feeling like their commander in chief is a threat to U.S. national security. That happens all the time. It’s totally usual. Nothing to worry about.”

Why? First of all, i dont know if he gave 200 million to the former president of ukraine. Before i can answere your question i first need to know how you know he gave 200 million to the former president?

Ok, so, im still not seeing how trump in a lucid way broke the constitution? Where is it? Spell it out, short, simple, blattently obvious and to the point? What law in the constitution did he break and how did he break it because im not seeing it?

The emoluments clause in US Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 8, prohibits federal officeholder from receiving any gift, payment, or other thing of value from foreign state, rulers, officers, or representatives. A gift or thing of "value" could be interpreted in many different ways, like "getting rid of the opposition in an election" for instance.

That, in short, is why there is now an ongoing "impeachment inquiry" in the House -- not an actual impeachment proceeding, yet. It is the job of the House to determine whether his actions fall under the "high crimes and misdemeanors" clause. T

he tragedy is that Trump supporters, including you, are arguing that there should not even be an inquiry, even in the face of what looks like serious evidence. In other words, you would prefer that the House not do its sworn duty if it means disparaging your hero in any way at all. You just don't even want the evidence looked into. And that's sad.
