Butt-Hurt Trump Takes to Twitter Again (Part 1)

With luck this could lure in somebody to debate the merits of Esperanto and to lament that it hasn’t taken over the world. Those guys are fun and the truest of true believers.

“I called him Mark Esperanto because he hopes so good. Many people have told me, ‘Sir, Mark is the best hoper ever in a cabinet’. How can you be against someone like that? Nobody except your Favorite President, ME, hopes more than Esperanto does. And I call him Esperanto because”

"that means hope in Esprant. It’s a language. One of the best languages ever. There are only 16 grammar rules. It’s not like English with all those fake spelling rules. Think of it! Only 16! That’s the same number of states our Beautiful Country started with!!! The FAKE democratic

“party says I don’t know who is on my Cabinet, but I do. Nasty Nancy Pistola hates America! And by AMERICA I mean ME. She hates me because I’m the best at presidenting. Nobody has ever done such a good job of presidenting like me. Of course I know who Mark is. My wife MELODY will”

“be happy to tell you. She wants to MAGA because it’s her native country too!”

In pari delicto is a legal term used to indicate that two persons or entities are equally at fault.

In pari delicto - Wikipedia

So, a nice pun in French…

@Drama-Llama-in-Chief

So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!

To which Bill Clinton replies: Um, yeah…pretty much.

[iiandyiiii]

The Constitution explicitly states that any Congress, even with the barest majority, can impeach any president, just by a majority vote. There’s no “process” other than what Congress decides.

Lindsey Graham wiped the orange semen from his face long enough to mug for the cameras and agree that yes this is a lynching.

It would’ve already happened, Donald, if you hadn’t screwed things up by getting elected.

I don’t know. My wife (native Korean speaker) learned to curse very well in English while serving her mission in Korea. The American sister missionaries taught her that.

Well, sure, cursing. But the name could be interpreted as Romney bragging about his own body part, which is different.

Anyway, it’s funny. Odd that these guys (Weiner’s ‘Carlos Danger’ and Comey’s ‘Reinhold Niebuhr,’ the theologian who died in 1971) never seem to think of using a more generic-sounding name.

(Well, to be fair, I guess Trump did, with “John Miller.”)

And I still can’t find confirmation that he didn’t call Italian President Sergio Mattarella “Mozzarella”.

Finally found on scopes that he did not call him the incorrect name. So… yay? That brings the score to Decorum 1 to Lunacy… well, I can’t count that high

Weren’t his exact words “this is a lynching in every sense of the word”? It seems to me that one sense of the word requires a corpse at the end of a rope. The only political people I see hoping for that were the right when Obama was president.

True about all that. But, sadly, “in every sense of the word” has turned into another “literally”—a method of emphasis that conveys a meaning exactly opposite of what was said.

Of course, Graham had to offer his own definition of lynching:

“I think lynching is being seen as somebody taking the law in their own hands and out to get somebody for no good reason,” he said.

Graham also offered his version of the impeachment inquiries:

“I’ve never seen a situation in my lifetime as a lawyer where somebody is accused of a major misconduct who cannot confront the accuser, call witnesses on their behalf and have the discussion in the light of day so the public can judge,” he said.

IANAL, but it seems to me that this is exactly what happens during a criminal investigation. If and when the case comes to trial, the accused can then confront the accuser and call witnesses.

Oh, and the public doesn’t do the judging, Senator. You’re one of the select 100 who will be charged with that task.

Or even another “fake” where the word means “discredits me” or “I don’t like”, nothing at all about lack of veracity.

When Lindsey was the impeachment manager in the Clinton instance, did Clinton get to do much during the House proceedings? I’m not sure how to even check that (although I’m 99% certain what the answer is).

[smithsb]

Jeeez Lindsey. Confronting the accuser, witnesses, discussion in light of day. Where were you when this whole Patriot Act was considered?

Besides, the house is just using your standard of withholding information from Congress as an impeachable offense.

It’s almost like Republicans don’t realize there is recorded evidence of them speaking during the Clinton impeachment. To the same notion, it seems that Republicans have all but admitted that they were trying to overturn Bill Clintons’ election.

The Tweeter-in-Chief just called Republicans who are less than full-throated in his defense “human scum”.

Comparisons to cornered, snarling rats are appropriate.

I’m guessing there’ll be insults toward a certain chief of police in about 8 hours.

Jay Nordlinger, Senior editor, National Review:

If a Democratic president called his critics and opponents “human scum,” all of us conservatives would say that this was outrageous and ominous from a leader in a democracy. We would say that this was reminiscent of Communists, fascists, and other such types. What say we now?
