Amid EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland’s blockbuster impeachment hearing on Wednesday, President Donald Trump took pains to emphasize he had not told Sondland outright during a particular meeting in September to facilitate a pressure campaign against Ukraine.
Sondland is now considered a “Sometimes Trumper.”
He wants people to think he uses big boy paper.
How many bottles of scotch have Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders gone through together today? Three? Eighteen?
WOW… tRump totally unhinged.
After Soundlands testimony there can only be one thing tRump meant when he said "Zelensky should ‘Do the right thing’. The fact that he said he wanted Nothing was secondary to this statement from the guy who perceives himself as the godfather.
I love that the sheet of paper in the picture (“I WANT NOTHING. I WANT NOTHING.”) is in all caps, and obviously Trump’s handwriting. It needs to be paired with the sharpie bubble extension of hurricane Dorian’s impact.
Trump as Sgt. Schulz from Hogan’s Heros: “I see nothing, I hear nothing…”
In Trump’s mind, an announcement of investigations is nothing. It’s just words!
Well, that clears it up. Amazing that people have been making all this fuss.
Trump wanted $1,000,000 from Sondland before he would make him an ambassador.
I wonder if Trump will use that, “the guy was so desperate for my love he gave me one million dollars to come work for me”.
President Colonel Klink now becomes Sgt. Schultz: I vant nossink! Nossink!
By pointing this loaded gun at that man and pulling the trigger, I do not intend to kill him, harm him, or scare him. Got that? No kill. No harm. No scare. Now, tell him to do the right thing and stand still.
It may be that Trump wants NOTHING now. However, the July 25 conversation includes at least the following (with other stuff left out):
**Zelenskyy:**I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost. ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.
The President: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike . . .
That ain’t nothin’.
“I WANT NOTHING. I WANT NOTHING.”
But he is on record wanting a “favor”… besides when was the last time that Trump did anything for free…
Sondland: “We’re not releasing the money till they announce the Biden investigation, right?”
Trump: “CRANK CALL! CRANK CALL!”
Christ is that a REAL photo?!?
I thought is was an Onion meme.
Seriously - we’re in ‘wandering the halls drunk, while shouting at portraits’ territory now.
Sure, Donnie. Uh huh. Very believable. Now testify under oath.
T rumpp seems to be very anxious to share his side of the story. I believe Rep. Schiff should remind him he has an open invitation to testify.
He doesn’t even have to testify. All he has to do - is release the notes and transcripts Sondland mentioned - they will undoubtedly prove he ‘wanted nothing’. (I’m sure they’re ‘beautiful’ notes, ‘perfect transcripts’)
WTF is up with his penchant for speaking to the press with a helicopter idling in the background? Is he afraid the audience might actually hear his bogus answers and protests of innocence?
Well - no. IT provides him cover from hearing the press’ questions and having to answer them. A tactic straight from St. Ronnie’s playbook.
