Well, duh. Of course.

The moment he “unequivocally denied” it, we knew it had happened…

He and his handlers/surrogates have been preparing us for this for the past 3 years by making this level of criminality seem normal. Not just the corrupt act itself, but all the criminal conspiracies (lying to congress etc) that went with it.

The involvement of OMB and State does constitute a Conspiracy, right?. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Can’t use the ignorance excuse again, just straight up abuse of power… smfh

Trump’s new book,“The Art of the Threat”, because he is to fucking stupid to deal.

THAT’S Trump’s method, strategy and, in fact, ESSENCE.

He ropes people in and then has folks “comfortable” with it not so much because it IS comfortable, but because of a mass self-delusion so as to get through the day, raise families, go to work, love a spouse, cherish loved ones.

Rachel Maddow and people like her will receive Nation-Saving accolades for keeping us sharp…

And water is wet.

What does need investigating is how many other members of the administration knew/were complicit in the illegality. From other reporting, it does sound like VP Pence is also a co-conspirator.

Bingo.

Pence and his church deacon schtick is no match for Trump’s World Class dissembling.

That is what I especially like about this particular scandal. At last we caught QTip with dirty fingers. I want this vile sycophant gone as much (and as quickly) as his nasty boss…

I know this is IMPOSSIBLE TO FATHOM here on this board, but Trump’s people love him.

Pence evokes much less of that.

He is a very vulnerable fucker.

Shirley is not surprised at this “revelation.” It’s like putting on the front the WP that the earth is round (or ovoid for you purists).

Simultaneous impeachment and removal of Trump and Pence leading to President Pelosi? One can only dream…

Immediate resignation or impeachment.

It’s really that simple.

That’s been my dream for quite some time now…especially once I realized that we had to get them both out. And now it looks like we just might.
