I'm Tired Of The Morons

Since news of the supposed pressuring of Ukraine by President Trump to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son first broke, we've heard a lot of talk from a lot of people, but we actually have heard from only two people who participated in the phone call at the heart of this matter:  President Trump and President Zelensky of Ukraine.  We also have the transcript of the call.  President Trump said the call was "perfect" with "no quid pro quo" which is Trump-speak for nothing untoward happened.  That's not surprising.  President Zelensky, however, confirms what Trump says.  Zelensky says he was not pressured, black-mailed, or pushed in any way.  Zelensky confirms that he didn't know that military aid had been held up and never connected a hold up in aid with the request for an investigation of Biden.  He confirms also that there was no quid pro quo.  Since Zelensky is the one who Trump supposedly threatened with withholding the aid, Zelensky's words ought to end this entire charade.  But the morons are out there on TV busy either lying about what happened or twisting it into a pretzel in the hopes of finding something that Trump did wrong.  We had Adam Schiff actually speak at a congressional hearing where he said that Trump told Zelensky seven or eight times, "you better dig up dirt on Biden or there won't be any military aid from the US."  Schiff even pretended that this came directly from the transcript of the call.  That was a blatant lie, and when Schiff got caught in that lie, he claimed that his remarks were only a "parody".  Then we had yesterday's witnesses who basically said that Trump didn't follow US foreign policy in his approach to Ukraine.  These lifetime foreign service employees are obvious morons.  Under the Constitution, US foreign policy is whatever the President says it is.  The President, not the State Department career employees, is the one in control.  Those employees are supposed to carry out the policies set by the president, not vice versa.

But it doesn't stop there.  We also have the morons who tell us that Zelensky must be wrong in what he says, or, even worse, he must be lying.  Think about that.  Zelensky certainly must know if he was aware that there was any holdup in aid when he spoke to Trump.  There's no proof that he knew about it.  To the contrary, there's plenty of proof that the Ukrainians didn't hear about the aid hold for another few weeks.  Zelensky isn't lying or mistaken.  But that doesn't matter.  The morons tell us that Zelensky's statements about his own actions and intentions cannot be trusted because he might want to protect Trump in order to help Ukraine in its relations with the USA.  There's not a shred of evidence to support that claim though, but the morons persist.  It's the rough equivalent of saying that Zelensky was brainwashed by Martians to say what he said.  There's no proof of that, but hey, the morons could say it happened and we are then supposed to believe them.

But the killer of all this is that there's a transcript of the phone call.  No one has said that the transcript is inaccurate or phony.  It's the best evidence of what happened.  And the transcript makes clear that a hold on aid was never mentioned.  There was no pressure put on Zelensky by Trump.  The investigation sought was about the 2016 election with Biden just mentioned.

I'm tired of the morons and their moronic twaddle.
