Sure, like holding a gun to somebody head and politely asking for their wallet. Not like that would be robbery. He was never going to actually use the gun, and he asked for a favour, very warm and polite and appropriate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Trump didn't realize it and that's what makes this whole thing so dumb. He believed the incorrect narrative that Biden stopped an investigation to protect Hunter Biden. Edit: Adding for emphasis. This whole thing is happening because our President believes Fox News conspiracy bullshit.

We'll just show he's a moron. "Madam Speaker, we've read the articles of impeachment and we find no areas of disagreement. In fact, and this is important lest we need to meet here again, there a quite a number of things left out, why is anyones guess. But none of it gets to the important point, Madam Speaker, which is that the President, as Secretary Tillerson has so ably testified, is a moron. Madam Speaker, we're talking about a man who has both laces and velcro on his golf shoes. We're talking about a man who has paid well into 6 figures for a single night with a hooker. Madam Speaker, hookers are 500 bucks a night. Who but a moron would over pay a hooker by hundreds of thousands of dollars? It only makes sense to conclude he is innocent by reason of stupidity. We have nothing more to add." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He must tell the American people that he was too dumb to know what he was doing or that he is a criminal. And, out of Congressional fairness and to avoid any potential miscarriage of justice, the committees will be issuing subpoenas for his college transcripts. Seriously. That would fire him up, for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also believe he's a traitor. Maybe he knows it, maybe not. Either way I think he needs to go. For sure he is his own worst enemy; rattle him and he'll make mistakes. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure we'll fuck this up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is irrelevant whether the official is unfit due to being a fool or a criminal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also not sure how you would tie any of it back to not accepting the 2016 loss. Trump is a criminal moron regardless of his election win. The two have nothing to do with each other. And lest you forget, he's also the guy who couldn't get over either of Obama's wins to the point where he spent years pushing a fake news agenda that Obama was constitutionally ineligible for office... and he still won in 2016. For anyone with as little care for the integrity of the process as Trump the message from the 2016 election is to attack your opponents with both barrels and never let up, truth or accuracy be damned. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #123 September 30, 2019 And on a lighter note: There was a song released in 1973, by the funk group The Honeydrippers (not the Robert Plant 'crooner' album from the 80s). It has experienced a huge resurgence in the past week. Absolutely hyooge. The title? Impeach the President. https://www.okayplayer.com/music/streams-of-the-honey-drippers-iconic-impeach-the-president-soar-following-announcement-of-trumps-impeachment-inquiry.html Gotta love the closing line of the article: "Hold tight for a tweet from The Orange One condemning a new group of witch-hunting musicians."
