Fake. Fraudulent. Untrue. Incorrect. Made up. A lie. A hoax. Total fiction. That is how Donald Trump continues to describe the whistleblower's complaint detailing the July 25 phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky – even after the details were confirmed and corroborated by David Holmes, Mark Sandy, Bill Taylor, Gordon Sondland, Alexander Vindman, Marie Yovanovitch and many other witnesses and admitted to by Mick Mulvaney and Trump himself. The non-profit, Florida-based fact checking website PolitiFact has selected Trump's whistleblower attacks as Lie Of The Year. #Winning

Fact check: Trump's wild letter to Pelosi is filled with false and misleading claims - KEYT | KCOY

It was on White House letterhead. It read like a string of President Donald Trump’s tweets. And it was just as dishonest. On Tuesday afternoon, Trump released a six-page letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in which — employing his distinctive vocabulary and punctuation — he blasted Democrats’...

Justin Baragona, founder and publisher of Contemptor.com and a senior editor and writer for PoliticusUSA, came up with the perfect description of Trump's nasty six-page letter filled with lies, accusations and insults:

Trump's bonkers anti-impeachment letter to Nancy Pelosi
sounds just like a Sean Hannity monologue

“It is a terrible thing you are doing, but you will have to live with it, not I!” the president railed directly at his Democratic rival.

Unhinged?? How much of that do you think Stephen Miller wrote? Some of it maybe. When the sentences end in !!!! we know who 'wrote' , or said was the prez. That's how my nearly 65 year old mother texts. She's a nice lady though.

I watched a lot of today's debate – although it wasn't really a debate. One side detailed Trump's impeachable offenses: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Trump withheld Congressionally-approved military aid from Ukraine and then asked for a "favor." He wanted Ukraine to dig up dirt on a United States citizen, Joe Biden, Trump's likely political opponent in 2020. Trump ordered his aides and Cabinet members to ignore subpoenas to testify and to refuse to turn over subpoenaed documents. Those facts are not disputed. Trump ignores the Constitution and believes he is above the law. Impeachment is the only remedy.

The other side participating in the "debate" unanimously disagreed. They couldn't honestly defend Trump so they spent their time attacking Pelosi, attacking Schiff, attacking the investigation and attacking the impeachment process. No members of that party – none – are expected to vote in favor of the two articles of impeachment. They, and their Senate colleagues, will ensure that Trump remains above the law. What a sad time for our nation.

The blindly loyal members of the Cult of Donald Trump knew they couldn't dispute the facts. Here is how they tried to defend the President today. They truly have no shame.

You just can’t get the hint 98, even when I flat out tell you.

You just got this thread locked.

Any more of your one sided political posts will get you suspended for a week.

Congratulations.
