    Whistle a Tune ... a Whistle Blowers Tune

    Well it appears the "Big Guy " is upset over some whistls blower ... says there should be some way to stop this ... through the courts if necessary... says he.

    "Must be a traitorous spy " he says again

    But what is a whistle blower ? .... is whistle blowing legal ?... even if it's against the Prez ?

    Well yes it is legal.... especially if it is against the Government . It is a protected check on the abuse of power ....1st Amendment of the Constitution of the United States

    But we claim that's what the 2nd amendment is for ... a protected check on te abuse of power ... don't we ?

    So what gives... we believe in one amendment and not another ?

    I don't expect much response here..... but I know you'll read it and seeth ....

    The guy who sent the letter did some good. Two days after the IG notified Congress, Pompeo overrode the White House and cut loose the Ukraine aid held up on the personal order of Trump. And the letter caused enough of a stir so that a quasi-transcript of the call emerged. Trump has admitted using the power of his office on a foreign government for personal gain. All this can be known without reading the whistleblower's report, and by itself, it's already enough. However I encourage people to read the report, although i expect few here will read it or the call transcript, or take the time to familiarize themselves with the timeline of this fast moving event.

      Read it? You can listen to it. There is no reason to be misinformed on this issue, it's as transparent as the talking point submitted to members of Congress by the accused.

        And you wonder why the rest of us refer to you being such and A-hole.

        All 3 user name huh? Or at least your most common 3 names.

        No one in a million years would guess you're the same person though.

          Togor, is that a Smokey fart in the wind or the foul smell of an incelebate troll? Maybe both.

            They just had a debate with themselves:

            Persona 1. "I wonder why nobody likes us?"
            Persona 2. "Maybe they'll like us if we're ever BIGGER A-holes"
            Persona 3. "That's a great idea! Watch me drop trou!"

                I notice some response even though we're supposed to be "ignored"...... but no response by those "ignorers" to the legitimate questions posted in the opening paragraph

                    You're not very good at this. How are you going to get assigned other responsibilities if you can't do better?

                      Another meaningless comment. But hey, you got the last word in again. It doesn't have to make sense.

                        Let's test that theory.

                          If IT is not a single entity... then it is a group of low life, anti American, treasonous, sons of bitches.

                          Just my honest opinion.

                            Red, the whistleblower complaint will need to be vetted. No reason to jump on the "Trump is treasonous bandwagon" just yet. However, I can understand how you connected the dots.

                            My opinion...
