President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

If you have been following along, you would know that typefitter has expressed a pretty low opinion of me, both personally and professionally. (Which is fine.)

That was the joke.

(We have agreed to civility, however.)

 

If we're talking 1992 Bill Clinton left, yes, I'd agree with that.

If we're talking 2016 Bernie Sanders-lovin-chaining-myself-to-something-to-stop-a-pipeline left, no. I couldn't stand Sanders.

 

Texas congressman just called for impeachment on the house floor

 

Dem or GOP?

 

It reminds me of when I think Tom DeLay said that the criminal investigation of him was the greatest injustice in American legal history and Stewart put up a photo of The Scottsboro Boys.

Democrat. Al Green. I believe first official call for it?

 

Gonna file this right next to "We thought he'd be more presidential when he took office" among this year's WTF statements.

 

To be fair, the President's full quote was: "Look at the way I have been treated lately, especially by the media. No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly."

He clearly wasn't insinuating he was treated worse than Kennedy or Lincoln.
