    Oh ffs you're wrong fundamentally.

    For a bill to become law it requires the President's signature or a veto override. Congressional overrides are rare. So your statement that law is entirely up to Congress is fundamentally flawed.

    As to your assertion that the Executive has no authority over foreign aid, well, it's flawed as well. As I've linked recently on this subject the construct of the foreign military appropriation bills grants wide leeway to the Executive on the how, when and if aid is delivered. The appropriation Bill approves the aid it doesn't compel the aid. The Executive, DoD and State, must approve the expenditure.

    Hope this helps.

    Wait, I thought is was the Russians? Here are the 4 ways Conservatives "suppress" the vote.
    1. Require ID (you, know like many daily activities in life, require)
    2. You can only vote once.
    3. Must be a citizen.
    4. Must not be deceased.

    Know you can pretend we dont have a POTUS all you want, but we do.

    The fact this is the most noteworthy news of anything related to her testimony should speak very loudly to you.

    Show me your evidence in support of that. She was not asked one question suggesting that during her testimony,

    However, she WAS asked...

    Chris Stewart R-UT:
    “Do you have any information regarding the President of the United States accepting any bribes?”

    Yovanovitch:
    “No,”

    Stewart:
    “Do you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the President of the United States has been involved with at all?”

    Yovanovitch:
    “No.”

    She did a lousy job in Ukraine and her previous postings.

    If she's getting thunderous and heart wrenching applauses, then how was her reputation smeared?

    I said he could veto. Reading comprehension skills fading on ya, or what?

    The DOD and DOS work together to approve or disapprove, which they had already done in this case. Show me the clause or rule proving that the president does so, other than via veto of the congressional bill.

    And by what metric are you measuring her previous postings?

    By all accounts, except those made by the orange idiot, she has been an exceptional civil servant through six consecutive administrations.

    Not quite the fu@k up you want to paint her as.

    But, don't let that stop you from trying.

    If you think I'm going to hunt your point in four left wing rags, you are wrong. Guess what? Lots of "minorities" can manage the simple task of obtaining ID. By golly, I do declare, many even drive their selves to work!

    This is called "data dumping" and is no replacement for proving a point, see..

    Why do you keep implying that any news organization that isn't on their knees blowing the president is run by Democrats?

    Because I also read a lot more news that they never publish. I am sick of the one sided media trashing Trump. I would love to hear him talking normally and stop having to defend himself.

    Thank for effectively DISQUALIFYING yourself from any further meaningful interaction on that topic as far as I am concerned because it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a debate with anyone that REFUSES to deal with the factually documented Subject Matter.

    Have a nice day!

    Just data dumping and expecting some one to hunt your claim for you, is lazy. Is cutting and pasting, a challenge?

    Trump's problems are of his own making. He, and only he, chooses what comes out of his pie hole.

    Stop blaming the media for reporting what he says verbatim.

    Those of two of the most oft repeated, out of context lies. He said "You had many fine people, on both sides" and "when your'e a star, they let you do it, you CAN do anything, you CAN even grab them by the vajayjay" NOT I DID. Why do they feel the need to omit key words?

    "It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait.

    "And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. (see the missing words?)

    "Grab them by the *****. You can do anything."

    You do know "Access Hollywood" is a tabloid, right?

    In nearly three years I have never read, nor have I heard, that Trump said "I".

    Question to you: How would Trump know that "you can do anything"?

    Did his buddy Epstein tell him that, or did he know that because of first hand knowledge?

    I can literally predict your answer.

    Your own link shows they omitted the key words. Read it. I'm just chuckling you stated the media reports President Trump "verbatim".

    The tape has him saying "Grab em' by the *****".

    I'm not really sure why you continue to refute this fact.
