the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Remember when Trump told China that he would only agree to the one China policy if China made some concessions and China didn't and he still agreed to the one China policy?

That was awesome!

(Hey were did that dude go who said Trump would hand China their asses?)

What law did Flynn break?

Is that part of the Logan Act?

Why didn't people vote (Republican or Democrat)? You tell me.

Why do those who didn't vote then, protest now? You tell me.

Dude. I vote. You're the expert non-voters.

Um, legal or not, why did he lie?

Anyway, is Putin testing us with these buzzings?

Any comment from our fearless leader. Even a tweet? I thought these types of provocations would end since DJT is so respected.

I would say none.
With out knowing what the conversations were about it would be hard to say for sure.
If there was or is, it would seem like along with the leak it would have been mentioned or alluded to.
The main point was the leak...

Whose leak? I thought leaks were good. How would we have known about Hillary's emails? I remember a candidate asking for more, and even more hacking by other countries, no less.

But, this is precious, though, and great fun to watch. Now that Trump is a role model, lying is a virtue, as long as it doesn't break a law. The pres can push his daughter's business, and he'll probably hire people who will do the same for their friends and relatives. They'll all say no way, of course. They'll swear to it on the Bible.

It's true. The Republican congress will not be interested in investigating this or doing any of the other things they would have done if this were Obama or someone he appointed. Unfortunately, that's probably a good thing. They'll have more serious things to worry about.

Afa what "I" want. Simple: the same ethical, moral and legal standard applied to everyone. All that good stuff: "Truth, Justice and the American way." Ok, just truth and justice would be more than enough.

The Logan Act gets brought up every so often by either side, saying the other side violated it.
But I don't think anyone has ever ACTUALLY been prosecuted for violating it.
It's just this old archaic law that's used for political theater.

True, an "old archaic law" like the Constitution. Also true, that he lied and resigned. Was he forced out by the Democrats? Did he resign because he did something wrong? Does that mean that individuals can make agreements with foreign government leaders?

Of course, it's just the media. So says, the "law and order" president . But, why would a liar not back another liar.

Political theater?

Like getting a crowd to shout lock her up over a private server?

Oh the irony!
