With Rush you can see he doesn’t get Trump even still.

Do you actually listen to Rush or just read what others say that he says? Rush had some doubts about Trump when he first announced his candidacy, but he is one of his most ardent supporters now.

That’s it for him. I’m sure he was a rootless cosmopolitan globalist pearl-clutching traitor all along, and he probably used kabbalist mind control to fool people.

No one has to like or agree with everything Trump says and does in order to be a supporter and that includes Tucker. However, didn’t you guys also read that Tucker said it was neither illegal or impeachable? That was the important part of this article to me and NOT the spin CNN put on it.

Come on Tucker, I thought you were better than this. Was Biden’s name ever mentioned in this phone call? And what about Obama, everything he did was politically motivated. Even spying on Trump.

I would not opine on Rush if I did not listen to him. I have my viewpoint. It is founded. If you don’t like it you do not have to. I’m just saying what I see. Not getting trump is not the same as not liking him or being on his side or seeing what Trump is trying to do. It doesn’t mean liking on like Tucker seems to be doing.

A lot of people I know like Trump a lot but don’t get him. Many say he has to stop tweeting others say he has to clean out the staff completely and get new people in there. They don’t get him. They surprise me. They still like him as president

But Tucker is right, Trump did get a little too specific by naming the lead demoncratic runner to be investigated.

The President has EVERY right to demand an investigation of a blackmail attempt by the former Vice President.

And, I have no doubt, he would have made the request even if Biden hadn't been running.

Right on!

As well, not that it is ultimately that important, but it has now been reported Mayor G started his investigation into all of this, at least 3 weeks before Biden announces he was getting into the race. Makes one wonder if this was the real reason Biden decided to get into the race.

Another point, this is by far not just about J Biden. By necessity, this net is much more extensive.

"Inappropriate," like "credible" is a slippery word. It can mean "wrong" or "illegal," but also "not fitting or appropriate to the circumstances."

A lot of things you can do are "inappropriate" but they aren't illegal. In government and politics "inappropriate" behavior can get you in to trouble, though it may not involve violating the law.

What Tucker may have been getting at is the "appearance of impropriety." In politics, "appearances" can matter a lot. Even if somebody does nothing wrong, "the appearance of impropriety" can come to be seen as "improper" itself.

"By necessity, this net is much more extensive."

Yep...plenty of other Democrats, and their family members involved, not to mention it opens the opportunity to investigate their involvement in China, ie., Pelosi and her son.

I had cable and satellite TV removed so many years ago, maybe 2011-2012. I was so used to FR as a news gatherer and then I could stream news on demand linking to video clips.

How anyone tolerates TV programming via cable or Satellite is a mystery to me unless they’re out in the sticks where high speed internet is not available. But here in WA State in our rural areas, there’s plenty of high speed internet.

But Tucker is part of cable programming which I don’t have and don’t want.

Goodbye Tucker.

CNN: Bush-Cheney Veteran in Talks to Work With Kushner in WH

Thursday, 19 January 2017

Neil Patel, who was a chief policy adviser for former Vice President Dick Cheney during the Bush-Cheney administration, could be in line to work with Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, in the White House, according to CNN.

Kushner offered Patel the role informally, but they have agreed to discuss details at a meeting first.

(snip)

After his job with Cheney, Patel became co-founder of the conservative news blog The Daily Caller, along with his college roommate, Fox News host Tucker Carlson, according to CNN.

Somebody needs to send this to Tucker Carlson because he nor his producers did any research on why the phone call is not a problem.

"Treaty with Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters", Treaty Document 106-16. Approved in 1999 under President Clinton. In Senate records and downloadable as a PDF - 31 pages.

Authorizes mutual assistance in criminal investigations.

Trump is following the law, not violating it.
