Not unlike how great āIvan The Great.ā they both were/are essentially cowards who were huge self-promoters.
Truly a legend in his own mind. He is such an obvious and bloated gasbag. How is it that he has managed to avoid encountering a pin or a lighted match for all this time?
And along that same vein, I hope you have the greatest impeachment trial ever!
If thatās not in the cards, may you have the largest re-election landslide loss ever.
āIām guilty of everything since I became President.ā
Trumptalk gets easier to translate as his term matures.
He still claims Obamaās economy as his own.
Does the media have to publish every laughable statement that comes out of this idiotās mouth?
ā¦and every time the media reports on nonsense like this is another small victory for Trump.
I;m not criticizing TPM for the post ā the problem is the lack of a Democratic counter-narrative. Right now, the Dem narrative is āchaos and indecisionā ā chaos because so many committees are issuing demands for information and Trump is defying all of them, indecision because the Dems wonāt start the impeachment proceedings that are demanded by the Mueller report, and which are inevitable given Trumpās blanket defiance of Congressā demand for information.
Democrats need a counter-narrative. And that counter narrative should be āDonald Trump committed an impeachable offense by obstruction a counter intelliengence investigation into Russiaās attack on our democracy.ā [on edit] Thatās too wordyā¦ the counter narrative should be āTrump betrayed Americaā. Its pithy, and its true enough.
This does not require immediate impeachment ā merely a statement that there exists āprobable causeā (the standard for an indictment) to impeach Trump, but that because Senate rules require an immediate trial once articles of mpeachment are sent to the Senate, the House has an obligation to continue to investigate until it can provide āproof beyond a reasonable doubtā for the trial.
BOOM! You;ve made it about Trump helping the Russians AND justified continued investigations.
Trumpās really selling himself short here. The main thing heās guilty of is a lack of imagination. Iām sure there are many many things he can come up with that heās guilty of if he only applies himself.
The delusion is strong with this one it is.
Heās now channeling his girlfriend Ivankaā¦
āIf complicit is being a beautiful and brilliant purveyor of goodness to the whole world, then yesā¦ Iām complicitā¦ā. (Slightly paraphrasedā¦)
Itās interesting today, though, because heās pretty clearly responding to Bidenās dead on straightforward attack. Defending Charlottesville comments too. Pretty transparent. I guess Biden hit home.
That petard heās hoisting makes Jackās beanstalk look short.
āIf Iām guilty of anything, itās being the president most out of touch with reality. Including that guy, whatās his name, oh, yeah, Buchanan.ā
Followed by more indictments that you can shake a stick at.
āAnd Democrats donāt like it, which is a shame,ā he added.
all just trolling
I like the āhere, Iāll hose you with the shit funnel for eternity, itās a shame you donāt like itā cognitive dissonance, itās total tRUmp
Well said.
Although I think it is the Houseās duty under the constitution to start down the road to impeachment. That mayāindeed, it shouldāinclude investigation, but it should be clear that, like a grand jury considering indictment, the body is considering whether to impeach.
Not only is he always objective, he once again proves that, most of all, heās always humble.
Heāll say that right until heās thrown in jail
absolutely. although I think the language should be stronger than āconsideringā, for reasons having to do with court challenges.
I think the House has to pass a resolution with language conveying that it intends to impeach, and that there is sufficient evidence already to impeach. And use legal phrases like āevidence of probable causeā, āprepoderance of evidenceā and āclear and convincing evidenceā to reinforce the sense that impeachment is a judicial process.
The key here would justifying continued investigation despite all the evidence. And (as I implied above) the way to do that is cite the Senate rules that require the immediate commencement of a trial once it recieves articles of impeachment from the House. Those rules compel the House to have sufficient evidence to convict prior to sending articles to the Senateā¦
and THAT is argument/strategy that should make it all but impossible for Trump to successfully use delaying tactics in order to deny the House the evidence it needs to get a conviction.
āIf Iām guilty of anything, itās that Iāve been a great Presidentā
Present perfect, so I guess itās all downhill from here.
