Bigly correct.
Yep, I agreeāthis alone is grounds for impeachment. DT is the most extreme example of why itās not actually a good idea to have a businessman (and especially a bad businessman like DT) running the federal government. All along heās clearly viewed it as simply an acquisition to his holdingsā¦ so of course heād try to get DOJ to block the merger!
trumppās approval rating is 42.2% at fivetheirtyeight.com as of today. Itāll never get higher. Heād have to be at at least 50% to be competitive.
Is it possible he was saying ābig leagueā, which of course is the league he and he alone is in?
Of course. He is very alone in his league of big. He is starting to remind me of Robert Smith of The Cure, so sad and lonely, just wanting so desperately for someone to call him.
Impeachi-os!
Whatās for desert?
The Government and our wonderful Department of Justice is a wonderful instrument for personal vendetta and has great tools to settle old scores against people who have annoyed you in any manner.
Mostly? Any statement involving his ignorance of any topic involving governance should receive a new rating equal to the exact opposite of Pants on Fire.
remove all hostile media outlets.
This is the point and the theme of the story: a media outlet this time Fox being made an arm of the admin.
@mattshuham You buried the lede.
āā¦otherwise rational peopleā¦ā who have a great need to demean themselves, I guess. He is an ugly man in appearance and manner. I donāt think I could stand to be in his vicinity for more than a few minutes, much less do his bidding.
Right next to the ancient Roman-style vomitorium.
To extrapolate a bit further, the pattern appears to be Trumpās many examples to direct people to do illegal or unethical things on his behalf (abuses of power), and as a separate track, the alliance between media and Trump to hide and cover up for illegal activities.
Weāre going to see much more concrete evidence of Trump directing people to lie and obstruct justice because 60% of the public is convinced he did so. This will be a key basis for impeachment that will have wide public support and acquiescence from the GOP (meaning no strong counter rebuttal).
Weāre also going to see media orgs end up in court and even prosecuted b/c they are a part of Trumpās obstruction schemes (AMI + Fox).
Oh, donāt forget congressional republicans.
An opinion? Really?
Itāll never get higher unless thereās an October Surprise, like another 9/11 where he can wrap himself in the flag instead of just groping it. Even this moron would probably benefit from the rally-round-the-Prez effect, like George W Bush did.
Letās hope the Intelligence agencies are aware of that possibility and keeping an eye out for any plans by, oh I dunnoā¦ could it beā¦ the RUSSIANS? (dun dun dunhh!). Or maybe he can get his new best friend Kim to lob a few ātestā missiles at the West Coast.
I do try not to be paranoid about these things, but sometimes it isnāt easy.
Nothing to see here folks, just the average dictator using the government to punish real or perceived political enemies.
If we are attacked, he will be blamed for it. He will not see his popularity rise. Good grief, he is not W.
I hope youāre right, but people respond in emotional ways when something like that happens. He only needs 10 points of temporary āpatrioticā boost in his numbers to get re-elected.
