Are they daring him to prove he’s out of fucks or what?

No, no, no, our illustrious Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi already informed us: it’s her goddamned table and impeachment was off of it.

They should all rot in prison for this for the rest of their miserable lives. But they won’t.

And every time the U.S. raises concerns about human rights abuses by others, including the mistreatment and even torture of detainees and prisoners of war, this shameful episode in U.S. history will continue to undercut our credibility. It is has been and will continue to be a huge gift to dictators and despots, warlords and terrorists, everywhere.
