Trump Defends Call With Ukraine, Arguing It’s ‘Important’ To Talk About Corruption

Yes, it’s very important that corruption be rooted out and exposed, and it should start right here at home.

Stop obstructing justice.

A bi-partisan committee should be in place as soon as the extensive vetting process concludes.

Oh yes! Honesty is very important.

“We’re supporting a country. We want to make sure that country is honest. It’s very important to talk about corruption."

When the hell is a reporter going to ask Trump “If you fear there are corrupt activites occurring in Ukraine that are being committed by U.S. citizens, why haven’t you asked U.S. law enforcement agencies to investigate those U.S. citizens and their alleged activities?”

Seems like the most obvious damned question to pose to Trump, yet I don’t see anywhere he’s been asked. WTF?

You want the MSM to do its job? Doesn’t it depend on the job description because, I bet if you asked them, they would tell you they’re following the description to a tee.

It doesn’t involve digging into the lies. Just reporting them.

Trump needs something to do with his hands - I recommend ball bearings.

“Trump Gets Combative When Defending Call With Ukraine.”

This is as close to “combat” as Ol’ Bone Spurs will ever get.

I can’t believe we inaugurated Frank Burns.

It’s like waking up to President Ferretface, day after day after day…

I like handcuffs better for this application. Or those twist tie thingies they’re using these days to replace handcuffs.
