ok..so it was your grammar/tense and you were quoting trump…
TRUMP: and Nancy Pelosi as far as I'm concerned, unfortunately, she's no longer Speaker of the House.

So why is trump saying unfortunately?

I think this is kind of like when you got punished as a kid and your parents would say "this hurts me more than it hurts you".
did your parents say that a lot?
Yes, but I was also a shithead as a kid, so they were probably right

can you elaborate…inquiring minds want to know

Ah, nothing super fun.  Like 90% of the bad stuff I did I never got caught for, and as a straight edge kid, it was probably worse than the kids that were drinking or doing drugs.  I just had a lousy attitude and made it known to my parents at any chance I could get.  Got my fair share of spankings and would purposefully smile or hum a song as it happened.  Total shithead moves. 

Glad that 1) my kids aren't nearly as shitty (yet), and 2) learned my lessons that spanking was bogus.

But I digress.  RIP Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.

you're a masochist?
if you look at the first page "transcript" that was released today, it states the US-UKR call was from 9:03 to 9:33 a.m.  there is no way it took 30 minutes to say what was written there.  zelensky speak english well (although from the transcript you can tell he's not a native speaker, but he speaks at a pretty normal pace).  trump is slow and plodding, but not that slow.

[font=verdana]in the fine print [/font][font=verdana]they state it is not a verbatim transcript[/font] but is content missing?  perhaps redacted?

in very related news, the "transcript" released today was from the second trump/zelensky call.  transcript of first will be released too, they say… after it's been redacted, also?

off to go find more tin foil…

^ good read.

good comment: "In other words the transcript of the call in this case may be very similar to the Barr summary of the Mueller report."

not thinking Coats with this comment he just made
"Nothing came to me. I left on Aug. 15…. The very next day that was presented to Joe. I feel so bad for Joe. He is caught in a squeeze here …."
