    Emolument and nepotism, abandonment of Puerto Rico, betrayal of your allies, assisted genocide on the Kurds, support for inimical dictatorships, hiring out of the US military for his personal profit, and torturing children to death?

    Maybe Fiserman's Worf is talking about the Bidens. If he means the twins then what you said pretty much sums up the actual situation. But can you squeeze what you said into a soundbite, talking point or meme? Then it's falling mostly on deaf ears.

    More than likely is not the same as saying he did it.

    That's why there will be an investigation.

    That's why all their communications, phones, and phone records and computers have been gathered up.

    If he didn't leak it than he has absolutely nothing to worry about.

    Great points! Now if they are that important get the Democratic candidates to bring these issues to the forefront when they are front of TV cameras! :waiting: That's what I thought. Go find some more hyperbolic windmills at which to tilt.

    Folk don't usually lose their jobs until the investigation finds them culpable.

    If that were the case, we'd be celebrating Trump being out of office right now.

    Will he be reinstated if found innocent? Of course he fucking won't. Shame on you for even attempting such a lame fucking argument.

    The investigations are not the main reason they lost their jobs at the NSC.

    Members of the NSC serve at the President pleasure and I'm sure you, as a big a cunt as you are, can understand that after just what happened with the impeachment and in the past with the NSC that Trump would lose confidence in both of them and have them removed.

    They aren't unemployed. Both still work for the Army. Both still get paid. Both will be reassigned by the Army to a new post. They just won't be at the NSC anymore.

    And if the investigation clears them than they can go on with their life. If it doesn't than they will have to answer any charges.

    Life goes on.

    There is no right to be on the NSC. You're there are long as the President wants you there. Than you're not the moment the President doesn't want you there.

    Please, we've had two weeks of the GOP whining about how unfair it is that Congress decided to investigate the President for dodgy shit he blatantly did.

    The prosecution made their case. Not their fault the defence chose not to cross-examine, or that the judge had been bought.

    Matthunter was a boatswain mate in us navy. Oldfella is a CNS Troi impersonator.

    Oldfella has never been anywhere near a central nervous system. I'm not even sure he's multicellular or even eukaryotic.

    Your bitching over this is ridiculous.

    The people on the NSC serve the President. They aren't permanent positions. They are political positions. They should be in support of the Presidents foreign policy. Their job is to provide him advice to help him.

    It's not their job to resist POTUS. It's not their job to set policy.

    If the people running the NSC say it's bloated and needs to be pared back then of course I have no problem with it.

    If Bernie Sanders is the nominee and beats Trump the people Sanders place in charge of the NSC will remove Trump's people. There is nothing wrong with it either. That's how it works.

    You serve at the pleasure of the current President.

    I would pay big, big money to see Matthunter attempt to go through U.S. Navy basic training! :lol: I don't know who CNS Troi is. Can CNS Troi sing, dance, or play a musical instrument? Because I can't.

    And what is my position on draft dodging? To refresh your memory, I loath it no matter who does it. :brood: Sadly a lot of people did it back in the day. That said this does not negate the fact that Matthunter's smarmy wise-guy military insulting ass getting screamed at, run through the ringer and generally mistreated like a rented mule would be money well spent! :D

    I can't seem to find any mention of AIDS in the Bronze Age Book Of Fairy Tales.
    Maybe your copy is special, and has extra bonus scenes.
    Like the one where Jesus is a gun owner, and votes Republican.
