OT: American Politics

I saw a clip today of McConnell consistently saying they’ll be coordinating with WH counsel on impeachment. Yeah, coordinate with the defendant.

Not a good look Mitchy.
 
sorry, I should have phrased that more clearly.

the idea was that Trump is so uniquely and clearly unfit for office, and has been abusing his powers from day one. so in a scenario like this, i.e. unprecedented graft and incompetence etc, if you cannot impeach Trump, then when would you ever be able to impeach a sitting President?
The answer is no. America has gone the way of the French. Elected kings.
 
Gop scotus, senate, and White House - all 3 branches of govt - working together in purely partisan harmony.

Sad sad stuff.
 
Don’t run away when you find out I’ve been right all along. This won’t affect Trump, the system is rigged. Always has been.
 
Schiffty is a Democrat Sir.

I’ve never once shifted on this point. I’ve always maintained some underlings will get pinched but this won’t get Trump. From day one.

Why? Because that’s how Washington works. It’s not a news flash. It’s being jaded.

Enjoy being wrong about that point.
 
Haven’t you advocated intensely that Trump will get removed? I mean long before McConnell just gave Trump a public Monica Lewinsky.
 
The main objective is to inflict maximum political damage on the GOP.

Essentially, to make it clear they knowingly acquitted a proven endlessly corrupt (and cruel) authoritarian who is an asset for endlessly corrupt foreign dictators.

There is no valid counter-factual.
 
In all of this, how do you all feel about Trump using his charity for campaign purposes?
Where does that fall on the give a shit meter?

Clinton foundation donations dropped 95%. I guess when you can’t power broker crap you don’t get “donations”.

I don’t like Trump doing it either. Hunter Biden used his dad’s name to get money too. When will you learn Washington is corrupt and it absolutely is both sides.

If I didn’t vote for someone and won’t again next year, I fail to see why I have to decry every transgression. That’s what you guys are for.

The numbers indicate this didn’t happen. Political damage I mean.
 
Still trying to get my head around this impeachment.

The Clinton campaign paid a former spy to dig up dirt on Donald Trump. This dirt was then furnished to the FBI. The FBI then make up shit about this made up shit to convince a judge to spy on the Trump campaign.

Think about that. That's massively scandalous and egregiously antidemocratic.

Now, the same people that used its made up shit to get the world's largest domestic surveillance organization to spy on their political opponent want to impeach the same political opponent for trying to dig up dirt on one of their political allies.

This is the ruling elite melting down.

Donald Trump makes people lose their shit and he loves it.
