OK everybody repeat after me:
“The man is a Moron”
“We can’t control that he is a Moron”
“We can rope each and every single Republican that is not the Moron, and hang the Moron around their necks”
WE CAN DO THIS, WE MUST DO THIS!!!

Oh, yeah, of course he’ll cooperate and I’m running for POTUS next year! Please, just ignore this BS.

Unsurprising. Our folks have been fighting and bleeding beside the Kurds for years, to just be ordered to betray them and leave them behind goes against everything that they’ve trained for. Never leave a comrade behind.

Any talk of him defining rules is more treason.

Normally I avoid everything from Fox News, but thank you for this : - )

I’ve seen a few instances recently that suggest there may be actual journalists at Fox. I’m not sure how I feel about a Fox that actually is “fair and balanced”… lol… but it’s hopeful that enough Republicans realize “conservatism” doesn’t need “lying” as a tactic, regardless of the moral cause.

This report indicates to me that Donald is a real badass. Unfortunately, a stupid baddass that’s getting people unnecessarily killed.

Sincerely, thanks again.

He doesn’t understand the concept of bargaining or procedure

Kurdistan was not formed until 1970. That’s one more thing the moron doesn’t know.

“They didn’t help us in the Second World War, they didn’t help us with Normandy,” Trump said of the Kurds, who played a vital role in the US-led campaign against ISIS.

Trump doesn’t get to make the rules for impeachment. There is this thing called separation of powers that he will need to have explained to him.

I still think Trump’s original play was to gen up an audience by running for President, then starting his own network after losing the election and was as surprised as the rest of us when the Russians pulled it off. If that’s true, he could still make a play to lock in his base in a new “Freedom Network” . Wouldn’t Fox be surprised to find they’re fighting a new Right Wing channel funded by Vlad’s oligarchs?

Yup, ETTD so I don’t think I could muster even a “sad”, let alone a tear…

Yeah, he’ll cooperate. Just like he did in the Mueller investigation.

Are you suggesting that America isn’t now great again?

America is the greatest nation, that’s why this betrayal of loyal allies is so fucking horrific and shameful.

The Dems need to publish the rules as they stand now. People need to see that the rules are reasonable. He, of course, makes it seem like they have totally sidelined the minority party, and since people don’t know what they are, he gets traction. They might even publish them as the “new rules guaranteeing fairness” and see how long it takes the GOP to say “that’s what they were before”. Yes. They were fair before.
Of course, when he says “fair” he means that he must always give permission for any question or move that they make.

It’s heart-wrenching.

Yes, everything has to be fair to him and by “fair,” he simply means that you see nothing wrong with his behavior and therefore would never say anything remotely negative about him or anything he’s ever done. “Fairness” means no investigation or process at all.

Yes, it is. No other way to say it.

what traction? The numbers in favor of impeach and remove go up every single day.

His argument is basically that impeachment is bogus because it doesn’t follow the rules of criminal justice. And criminal justice can’t be applied to him because he’s a sitting president. That means from his standpoint he can never be held accountable but the constitution says otherwise.
