They gave her a very long letter hinting at what the committee knows she witnessed and wrote they want to confirm what she said (according to reports of others).

"Presided over?" Don't let Tooms frame the argument by selling you loaded terms. A number of Democratic presidents "presided over" recessions including Wilson, Truman, and Carter. Heck he even tries to blame Lincoln for the Civil War because he was a Republican, when there was nothing he could do otherwise besides let the southern states go. Tooms is a partisan hack loudly working day and month out with a false dichotomy, Democrats all good, Republicans all bad even stretching back to the Civil War. It's absurd, and betrays someone familiar with hack internet sources as opposed to history. I hate to agree with Elvis (Elvira) but he has him pegged on this one, though he is just as idiotic from the other angle.

You further assert that I listed any of Eisenhower's 3 Recessions in his 8 years in office among the half dozen or so Great Repub Recessions of the past 100 years?
And you conjured up all that in order to "Bothsider" me pretty much the same as someone who claims there were no Recessions and no Bear Market Crashes under any Repub in the past 50 years, nor has Biden's policies created any jobs but Trump's economic decisions and results were much better.
Uh. Ok.
I submit this to the court as Exhibit A for how "Bothsiderism" exists solely to help the utterly wrongheaded look like a reasonable option, perhaps worth no less consideration than a coin flip in a voting booth, inevitably giving them at least a 50-50 shot at producing more of their patented disastrous results.

Posts: 2344Donald Trump is a criminal and he belongs in jail
The January 6th insurrection investigative committee got great news from the Supreme Court yesterday.
They told TrumpShit NO NO NO to his lame claim of executive privilege as he tries to hide his seditious behavior that got into the record.
Hundreds of pages from the archives were delivered the same day after the SCOTUS 8-1 decision. (Proving once again that Clarence Thomas is a legal lightweight).
But the bipartisan investigative committee has enough already.
They have interviewed dozens of lower level White House staffers that have already testified to the committee as to what was said and done.
It does not matter if the higher level folks try to be silent.
Liz Cheney & the other committee members already have the goods on what went down, and it was criminal.
Donald Trump is a criminal and he belongs in jail.

EihTooms not only provided the data but also the link so you could verify his statement.
If you disagree with his statement or the source, the grown-up response would be to explain why.
You could insist, for example, that the OP was incorrect and there haven't been 17 recessions presided over by the Republicans.
Of course, as a grown-up, you would be expected to substantiate your rebuttal with a coherent and persuading argument. Calling it a fairytale is not it.
Are you a grown-up, Mr. Canada?

And yet, you don't seem to be able to distinguish a yes / no question from a WH question. Here, allow me to help.
My question was: "What specific answers convinced you he's unfit for president"?
What do you say? Try again?

Since none of the above exist (except in your mind) you are guilty, as usual, of spreading manure.

They always mischaracterize or outright lie about his compensation tactic of occasionally briefly stopping in mid-sentence to choose a perfectly acceptable alternate next word or phrase in order to avoid the ones he suspects might trigger a stutter. Which he does brilliantly and largely seamlessly, I should add.
Now, when Trump repeats the words "anominus, anominus" or "oranges, oranges" over and over again when he apparently is struggling to say "anonymous" and "origins" and when he thinks one of our great and world renowned National Parks, Yosimite, is really a "Yo, Semite!" call to people of Jewish heritage, would that be considered a stutter, a stammer or merely more examples of his serious cognitive decline?
Which is the politically correct term for that?
I wouldn't want to be insensitive and unwoke about his disability and mental challenges.

There have been 17 Recessions in the USA economy over the past 100 years.
All but 4 of them began under Republican Party economic stewardship in the White House.
All of the half dozen or so of the deepest and most damaging to employment numbers Recessions began under Republicans.
Of the 4 that began under Democrats, all of them were among the briefest and least damaging to employment.
One began in 1937 during a historic recovery from a previous Great Repub Crash in the economy.
Two began in 1945 and 1948 when America was in the process of resetting and retooling factories and jobs from its WWII efforts while also paying the bills for that war.
And the 4th one, the briefest and least damaging of all, began in early 1980, almost didn't even qualify as a Recession in that we were already pulling out of it by the second consecutive quarter of fractional contraction and, most notable of all, was purposely induced by the Fed in order to reverse the trajectory of inflation by cooling down an overheated economy that was creating far more jobs than there were applicants to take them.
Of all the "economic problems" to have, that last one is about the best one any country would want. Rest assured, there has never been such a "problem" under any Repub so serious to require Fed intervention.

Now, Great Repub Bear Market Crashes is a different topic that requires a different link. But they are related in that most Bear Market Crashes do accompany a Recession. Consequently, most deep and significant Bear Market Crashes of the past century have accompanied Great Repub Recessions, as was the case with each of the most recent Repub so-called potus', Trump and GW Bush.
