President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Look, the idea that it's useless to impeach Trump because the Senate will never convict him is politically naivite masquerading as cynicism. The practical effect will be to force every Republican Senator who votes to acquit in the face of overwhelming evidence to admit they don't give a shit about their oath of office or even objective reality. If a majority of voters in their states agree with that stance, well, fine. We know where we stand, in a failed state by, for, and of ignorance.

 

We are living in a world of alternate reality, and the MAGA crowd will take it hook, line, and sinker.

 

Which is why nobody likes him, nobody believes him, nobody has any personal loyalty to him whatsoever.

All his flunkies -- the very instant they believe they can no longer profit off him, they'll run and hide. Drop him like the plague. Save their own ass.

And, once Putin decides Fatboy is more trouble than he's worth -- Polonium City.

 

Sorry, but that's not the only way to show intent under the American legal system. Fail Mr. McCarthy.

 

I never said it was useless. I said the people talking themselves into Sondland's testimony having any effect are fooling themselves.

 

Castor seems to be hanging his hat on the idea that investigating Burisma somehow is not equal to investigating the Bidens.

 

Oh, it'll have an effect. Not on Republican officeholders, but on voters with a default "things could be worse" bias (that's a lot of voters) balancing crime against the fact the economy is doing OK. People don't like to think they're on the side of bad guys.

 

Its right there for all to see, line them all up and their testimony is consistent with Bribery. If you pick your partisan party over the rule of law and over prosecuting someone for Bribery, just be honest.

Its not "quid pro quo", its bribery, "I'm not going to do this unless you do this PERSONAL favor for me." Be honest.

 

Step right over … Nothing. I want nothing.

 

Someone forgot they switched accounts

 

Hmmmm.
