Yes, really. Trump being implicated of a federal crime in sworn court testimony makes things easier on GOP "moderates" like Collins etc. to act if/when the impetus increases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as his supporters would do well to remember that Hillary being 'crooked' doesn't make Trump an angel. To be honest, that comment Americans buying it was wrong. My bad.

bickster Posted August 23, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2018 Quote The 45 senators who opposed Gorsuch, McMahon writes, received nearly 20 million more votes than the 54 senators who supported him — 73,425,062 to 54,098,387. The 45 senators in the minority also represent more than 25 million more people than the senators who voted to confirm Gorsuch . 3 Now that sounds like Democracy In an article about Neil Gorsuch being the most illegitimate member of the supreme court ever I found this little fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 David Pecker has been granted immunity by the feds This is the guy who kept all of Trump's shit out of the National Enquirer.

Chindie Posted August 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2018 Trump also has suggested impeaching him would tank the market. Given how absolutely stupid his trade policy is... I'm not so sure Donald. I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's him saying that - If you punish me, then the people that matter, my actual constituents, money, will be affected. It's a direct question about whether democratic process in the US should involve the interests of people, their representation, morality, national values and integrity or whether it is now purely and solely about maintaining the interests of the people that put him in power. It's him saying that the idea of impeaching him, which belongs in the fake realm of politics might have an effect on the real world of money and that therefore it should not be considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't happen OK, it happened, but I didn't know about it OK I knew about it, but wasn't involved OK, I was involved, but it's not a crime OK, it's a crime, but if you punish me it'll harm others and also all the denials sound like the denials of someone who obviously did it.

I'm not sure it makes sense any longer to try to understand it as a legal or political process. It all seems like a constructed tv show. The Apprentice, maybe, or Big Brother but with less dignity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted August 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2018 If I lived in a country where my kids' teachers were carrying firearms with which to engage in classroom gunfights with armed intruders, I'd be seriously considering leaving that country. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
