As impeachment managers churn on through the second day of opening arguments in President Trump’s impeachment trial, one thing hasn’t stopped: the conduct that got Trump impeached in the first place
The MSM will be complicit in spreading it to the masses, and is slavering at the prospect of some good’ol juicy LIES they can run with (because they consider Impeachment SO BORING.)
This is all consistent with the Trump M.O.: take something that may look bad, blow it up with hot air to the size of the baby Trump balloon, and speak and tweet constantly about it until his supporters think it’s the worst thing in the world. He did this with Hillary’s private server (although that was bad to a certain extent); he did it with Warren’s belief she had native American heritage; he’s been doing it with Schiff’s paraphrase of the 7/25 call; and he and Rudy will continue to do it with Hunter Biden’s ill-advised tenure on the board of Burisma. Anyone who expected impeachment to put an end to this just hasn’t been paying attention.
And all these diversions trumpet key words that make it harder to research google about what actually happened. Things get buried. Bots move at light speed. Trump’s admissions are all about this process.
If it isn’t clear, Barr’s Department of “Justice Delayed, Justice Denied” is letting this continue every day that the SDNY doesn’t indict Giuliani. SDNY is going to need a thorough IG root canal if it doesn’t indict soon.
"Sen. Graham: Trump told me yesterday the Bidens and Ukraine needs to be investigated"
The GOP is going to acquit Trump and he is going to immediately pivot back to demanding Ukraine give him his announcement of an investigation…and this time, he’s going to make them manufacture false evidence to support it.
Of course it continues. The heart of Trump’s defense is that it’s all perfectly legitimate. Or “perfect”-ly legitimate. Just wait until after the Senate votes to acquit, and publicly affirms the legitimacy of Trump’s corruption. It will be Katy-bar-the-door.
One could postulate that Ghoulie is a foreign combatant posing an imminent threat to the United States, requiring immediate action without notifying Congress?
I don’t think it has occured yet to Rudy that he’s expendable. Expect the White House to shortly disavow any knowledge of anything he was up to and for Bob Barr to announce an investigation into Rudy’s hijinks.
All about exciting the base, which hates SS and Medicare and sees them as nothing but giving away white peoples’ money to lazy brown mooches. You corner any angry older white Teatroll Trump KKKultists and ask them whether they deserve more benefits under both and they’ll say yes…and if you follow up with, “well why aren’t you getting that then?”, they’ll tell you it’s because lazy brown mooches and illegals are stealing from the pot and reducing the money available for people who “deserve” it.
He ran on promising never to touch such things, but only a troglodyte would believe that was anything other than a promise that he’d wait until the 2nd term when re-election wouldn’t matter.
Oh, they won’t “make them manufacture false evidence to support it.”
They have contracted with ousted mobsters and crooks in Ukraine to do it in exchange for helping them get back into power in Ukraine. All of these people are Putin-cronies and he wants them back in power in Ukraine, and this is just the vehicle for doing it.
They get back into power to implement Putin’s wishes in Ukraine, Firtash gets his charges quietly dropped by Bill Barr, NosferRudytu and his Motley Crew get to Grift millions of $$$ out of it, and probably get that juicy NG contract with Ukraine as a reward.
AND the Republicans can use it as Grist for the Mill to set up attacks upon Biden et. al. and in the event Trump loses to him in the 2020 election, they can demand IMPEACHMENT based upon these fairy tales.
Trump gets to masturbate about his “EXONERATION!!!” as a bonus.
