The Trump thread: All things Donald

[joan1984]

Never Trump'ers is not exclusively for RINOs, but it is Mostly.

...deep state types...

You’re behind on terminology now.  These days he calls those patriots with integrity ‘Never Trumpers’.

[psiberzerker]

Isn't it interesting how the completely irrational, and biased knee jerks out there keep using catch phrases like "Fake news," and "Never Trumpers" to try to paint their mostly imaginary opposition as single issue wonks.

If you break the law, you will be prosecuted.  The house is seeking Justice.  It's not a"Witch Hunt," it's a federal investigation.

Whatever you call it doesn't change the reality to match your own twisted worldview.

So Joan, do you belive the President is above the law?

[joan1984]

The President is subject to the law.

So Joan, do you belive the President is above the law?

Then let him go through Due Process in the House.  That's how it is done, constitutionally, in America.  You'll find out specifically what crimes he's charged with, when he's formally charged with them.  I'm sure he'll tweet all about it, and you'll get it on your news feed.

Those Republicans that sycophantically support the dictator Trump and willingly and willfully trash the Constitutional separation of powers at His behest shall henceforth be called:

The Banana Republicans

It's not official without the hat.

Started reading a Wall Street Journal opinion piece on the Impeachment this morning just to stop and wonder how such a nonsensical thing could be in the WSJ and what sort of Trumptard wrote it.  So I went back to the top to see the author; it was written by Rudy Guiliani.

So much for the credibility of the WSJ.

So much for the credibility of the WSJ.

WSJ is owned by the same Rupert Murdoch who owns Fox News.

I had forgotten that.  Thanks.

You can't take Credibility at face value, because Editorials.  There's multiple writers, and editors on any medium.  So, 1 editorial doesn't really say much about the veracity of EVERY piece that medium decides to publish. 

Pretty much anyone can say pretty much anything they want in an Editorial, and if they happen to be the Editor, then they can skip a step when it comes to publishing.  They don't have to run it past the editor.  That's why Editorials are generally an exception.

Impeachment inquiry hearings are underway.  I’m not going to watch because 1. spending my time that way isn’t going to change the outcome, but probably will give me an ulcer, 2. political theater, 3. there will be dozens of recaps and summaries available for every type of confirmation bias.  MSNBC will yell “treason,” and FOX will ask “where’s the beef.” 4. It isn’t 1972.  Nothing is shocking anymore, and no one expects honor and good citizenship from our elected officials.

I actually had to stop watching Stephen Colbert, and just tune into the Meanwhiles on Youtube, because I'm so burned out on the President's omnipresence.  I quit Facebook a couple years ago for the same thing.  He's everywhere, and I'm just sick of seeing his smug face.  I just want him to go away, forever, so we can go on with our lives, and he can be a footnote in the History books.

I quit Twitter, stopped watching the evening news, and quit all Facebook groups that involved politics.  I scan headlines on NYT and WaPo.  Amazing that making America great again requires sticking your head in the sand, but I can’t fucking take it.  It’s like getting your nose rubbed in someone else’s asshole every day, and it stinks to high heavens.

And what do the Banana Republicans think of Dictator Donald?

My apologies to chimpanzees, this is them:

There’s the whistle blower!  Get him!!!!

Banana Republicans encouraged by their leader to defend him from the witch hunt.

It is so sad this whole impeachment show started because Trump and his fellow idiots decided to belive Russian propaganda rather than our own intellegence services.
