Impeach him - he is long passed his pull date and has violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Enough already.
Gotta say, Iāve been an impeachment dove, so to speak, ready to take the long view. But we canāt have a leader of the worldās only superpower liberal democracy whoās this amoral, this unable to comprehend why accepting oppo research from a hostile foreign power is wrong. Itās intolerable. Itās sickening. It canāt stand, canāt be accepted. I still think we have to acknowledge the political realities and proceed accordingly. But thisāthis wonāt do.
Me too, Iāve been a slow and steady let the facts come out promoter The pace is no longer sustainable. He just invited Russia, China, NoKo, Saudi Arabia and many more to interfere without any impunity.
Heās a fucking sociopath. No overarching moral system that he can comprehend. A person like that canāt be given the power of an American president. Itās insanity.
I really couldnāt hear anything he said after he put his fingers in his ears and started to sing āimpeach me now, i dare youā.
Short answer: this development needs to be seen/treated as a continuing story.
True and thereās nothing surprising about this. He is who he is. To me itās the inability to even pretend to be otherwise that argues ever more strongly for immediate action.
Though heās said this before, one of the things that irks me is this story being treated as a new story, while ignoring / forgetting that his lawyer (a former federal prosecutor) recently said that there was nothing wrong with foreign nationals interferring in an investigation.
Adding to, āson number threeā dismissed the interference as a couple of Facebook ads.
āI donāt think Iāve ever called the FBI.ā
of course not. goodfellas never do
To me its: what horrible thing will he do next?
Maybe Iām an impassioned idiot, but this is the thing that is setting me over the edge. Thereās no subtext at this point: for him there is no value for the structure and integrity of our government beyond personal benefit, and heās apparently shouting from the rooftops that he feels thereās nothing to stop him from doing as he pleases so long as it results in votes for him.
Heās the President.
We use āwhat if Obama did?ā as a bittersweet guide, but we tend to ignore / forget that most of ā44āsā troubles were either ginned up or unintentionally inflicted.
Simply, Obama respected the office.
The same canāt be said about Trump and his enablers.
No, youāve put your finger on the worst aspect out of many terrible ones. He literally does not understand why the leader of a liberal democracy should reject electoral help from a hostile foreign power. Heās that pathologically amoral. And he says so on national TV because heās not only amoral, heās stupid.
Reminder: the DPRK is a really, really good hacking nation.
China, Russia, Iran too.
I am with you. Itās time. Frankly, heās said enough crap recently, that it shouldnāt be hard to convince the 5% or so that flipped from Obama to Trump that donnie is a threat to the country. Thereās 25% or so that wonāt care, but we would never get them anyway.
Unless G-20 saves Trump from himself, Iām more so worried about Russia being his friend than China.
As for Iran, theyāre just āsmoke showingā him.
This wonāt happen.
