Think of who’s there in the Oval Office to stop him from calling for the nuclear football: toady Mick Mulvaney, lunatic toady Stephen Miller, and Trump’s idiot children.
I have to hope the FBI has the OO bugged, and will call for help if Trump decides to destroy the world.
Trump wants impeachment because it’s his best bet to save himself from legal jeopardy. He wants to stay in the realm of the political, but beyond that, he wants to use democracy to destroy democracy. I don’t know how much clearer this can be.
And why, unlike DJT, she’s a grown-up possessing self-control, and won’t take bait that is shamelessly thrown at her. I’m lookin’ at you, Kellyanne, you rank (in every sense) amateur.
Right, he got elected, got a stimulus and watered-down healthcare reform, and lost more and more control of congress. We got obstructionism, McConnell, a SCOTUS minority, and worst of all, Trump and a GOP congress. In spite of the fact that the GOP lied its ass off to get wars we couldn’t afford, tax cuts to make sure that the people who wanted the wars don’t pay for them and those who fight them do, tax cuts and bailouts to make sure that those who ruined our economy don’t pay for it but those who lost their jobs do. Bruh, that was a weak, limp-dick, unreal comeback and you know it. What I’m telling you is that it’s the idiots who’ve been voting for stupid shit who need their noses rubbed in it. An impeachment before the right time will just convince these idiots - and they are idiots - that they’ve been cheated by the libs. You need to let the mother fuckers swallow their own goddamn medicine.
It’s actually been 50 years since Dems were elected back to back so I’d say that this country prefers republicans for the last half century. 20 years is a weirdly short window.
Ah, but have the results of those elections been reflective of what the country wants/wanted? Gerrymandering, obstacles to voter registration AND voting, cutting back on the number of polling places in minority-heavy counties, absentee ballots thrown away and not counted-- and with all of these obstacles, Hillary won the popular vote in the last election. Even Mitch McConnell admitted that when voting is unobstructed and lots of people vote, it’s bad for Republicans.
Individual 1 retweeted a faked video of Nancy Pelosi allegedly stammering through a press conference. Mindy Fisher posted it on Facebook as an example of how horrible Individual 1 is, and Facebook took it down. But it’s still there on Individual 1’s Twitter page.
He totally understands the admission – he and other republicans defend by saying that unqualified and undeserving people shouldn’t vote. The question to ask is, who is “unqualified” and “undeserving”?
Well, in their minds, minorities, women, working class people. This isn’t even a secret. Republicans are aristocrats, oligarchs, plutocrats, kleptocrats, religious ideologues.
So Trump himself makes it official, he is declaring that he can’t chew gum and walk at the same time, Bill Clinton and many other presidents in the past still managed to govern while being investigated.
A one track mind and incompetent too.
[sub]Also, that he is telling everyone that the kitchen is too hot for him.[/sub]
Trump also just ordered the intelligence community to cooperate with Barr’s “investigate the investigators” investigation. So that investigation can be ramped up and Trump’ll almost certainly be directly be involved with that in the future. In fact, I’m sure Trump will be much more consumed with this than he is in doing his actual job.
One of the TV talking heads speculated that since Barr has been at this for a while, the intelligence community must have been saying “No” to whatever Barr wants and so Barr went running to Trump to tell them to give him what he wants.
It’s totally undemocratic, but I’m praying the powers that be in the military will choose to mishear or creatively ‘interpret’ any orders to launch nukes.
In my experience, general and flag officers are a bit more aware of current events than Joe Average. Also, the general and flag officers are well aware that it is an offense to follow an unlawful order. Part of their responsibility when receiving such an order is to determine its validity and legality. Sending weapons of mass destruction because you’re offended that the Speaker of the House called you out correctly for your misbehavior certainly should not pass that test.
