LOL. Ukrainization of US politics is obvious but in the opposite way. NYT exercises in projection as usual because presstitutes and Hillary are doing it and not Trump.

Why you, low-down, dirty, son-of-a......waaaaaaaait a minute. This is satire, right?

Okay, NYT, good one. You got me.

So, the calls for impeachment before Trump was sworn into office are not criminalizing political opponents?

Years of investigations, hearings and false stories about collusion with Russia were not due to political differences?

Suppressing political speech on university campuses is not criminalizing speech?

The rise of ANTIFA is not turning one ideology into a crime?

Years of calling Trump supporters names like racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc are not due to political differences?

Once again, the socialists allege we are doing what they have been doing for a decade.

BiteMe Biden extorts Ukraine to fire a “corrupt” “sonofabitch’ prosecutor.

President Trump requests investigations into Ukrainian corruption and he’s suddenly a “conspiracy theorist”

So where is BiteMe Biden’s evidence of corruption from the Ukranian prosecutor?

Did Ukranian corruption end with the firing of that prosecutor?

The Yellow Journalist pinko press is lying out of both sides of their mouth.

First Peggy (dingbat) Noon and now Bret (et tu Bret?) Stephens. These journalists must have watched a different impeachment in another galaxy. It was a complete bust for the Democrats. And a triumph for President Trump. Even this idiotic column adds more public support for the President. It’s unreadable rubbish.

Years before Trump led his followers in “Lock Her Up” chants”””

That any American today could be locked up TODAY for the crimes publically listed and attributed to Hillary then dismissed by Comey doesn’t even enter this (literally) delusional persons head. Here’s the thing: The delusional HAVE to be dealt with at some point. There is no way around that.

At least the National Enquirer’s stories about John Edwards were proven to be correct.

Obviously, the author hasn’t seen the video of Biden’s crazed rant against Lindsey Graham that was just aired on Fox and Friends!
Wish someone who is tech-savvy could do a link to it. Biden totally THREATENED Graham.

According to democrats there was no corruption in Ukraine and President Trump should just funnel tons of American tax payer cash,no questions asked,to Ukraine,I’m sure that’s what millions of American tax payers want.
All the republicans should say is this,President Trump is I charge of foreign policy,period,he can tell the Ukranian president while standing on them White House Lawn,in Times Square,on every main street in America,I will help you with American aid when you clean up the corruption in your country and not before!
He has the right and AUTHORITY TO DO JUST THAT!
Stop with the banal quid pro quo crap,that is a phony argument,every time the democrats claim so and so said this,that’s a quid pro quo,say yes it is and I have the Authority of the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America to make the quid pro quo when it comes to Foreign policy,PERIOD CASE CLOSED!

According to one of the jerk dems at the last or near the last hearing, merely thinking about murdering someone is as much a crime as actually carrying out a murder. Same with every other thought such as bank robbery etc. Just because you’re not successful (?) doesn’t mean it’s not a crime.

I don’t recall who it was or the witness at the time or the exact statements but it sure made one hope that this idiot was never a DA or US Attorney..he fully believed that one is guilty until proven innocent. At the least, I wouldn’t want him on any jury with that sick thought process.

I’ve followed Ukrainian politics fairly closely since 1999, when I joined the staff of The Wall Street Journal Europe. It has consistent themes that should sound familiar to American ears.

The first theme is the criminalization of political differences.

Project much?

A second theme is the use of political office as a shield against criminal prosecution and as a vehicle for personal and familial enrichment.

Project much?\

“”A second theme is the use of political office as a shield against criminal prosecution and as a vehicle for personal and familial enrichment.””

He may as well have said, “former political office” but he couldn’t do that or it would have swept Biden up in his derangement - (both Biden’s and the writer’s) except Biden wasn’t the FORMER VP when he made that threat for Ukraine to fire the prosecutor, was he? Every word in that sentence pertains to Biden and not President Trump.

When 3rd hand information at best is used as solid evidence to try to “legally” overthrow a President then yeah a nation tends to look corrupt.
