Honestly, at this point he could have Biden assassinated and no Republican in Congress would say a thing. They would probably say that it was AOC's fault for pushing them this far.Toss it on the pile?
I think the Ukraine thing was too blatant.Public opinion hasn’t changed, so my question is, what did?
For rational people? Yes.D'ya think they have a case?

Well, the United States was fun while it lasted.

The idea that anyone who still likes trump can be convinced to stop supporting him for any reason still seems like fantastically wishful thinking.Fivethirtyeight makes the case that, if the messaging is clear, it could be different than Russia.
I don't try to convince trump voters they're wrong. I just hold out hope that his policies lead to them being destitute or dead.Doesn't stop you, though, does it?
The "fake news"outcry, combined with serious news outlets going for click-bait and regularly posting junk just for clicks/attention, along with social media giving practically anyone a pulpit, has really hurt democracy and general society enormously, and might be this generation's counterweight of crap to last generation's literal piles of waste.You know, I pride myself on being reasonable and NOT muting/unfriending people on Facebook because of their political posts. But this week there was the fake news thing going around about the Australian park that was covered in litter from the environmental protest. Turns out the picture was from a 420 celebration in Hyde Park in April. Debunked on several news sites, including local news in Australia, the Guardian, BBC, etc. I pointed this out to a friend who had shared the picture and his response was, "Were you there? How do you know mine is fake but yours is real?"
I responded that his source was a right-wing Twitter post while mine sources were reputable news organizations with actual proof and actual pictures of the actual event.
He responded again, "Were you there?!? Are you sure?"
He's now blocked. I can deal with ignorance, but this was just stupid. And yes, he's a HUGE Trumper.
Well, was HE there?He responded again, "Were you there?!? Are you sure?"
It was likely going to leak either way, but this way he can say it can't prove he's guilty, because he released it...That's....Why would you release that?
No, dude, no fucking way.The White House accidentally emailed a list of their talking points to Nancy Pelosi. Then tried to recall the email although it was too late.

Stupid Watergate, indeed.
The idea that the second amendment was made as an insurance of the people against the government is a myth anyway, and I honestly have no idea where is startedSurely this is the moment our well-regulated militia puts the fear of god into these tyrants, justifying all the horrors we put up with because of them otherwise. Right? Right??
Approximately 40% of the country does not care what he did, as long as it somehow means beating Democrats. And unfortunately that 40% is represented by 53% of the Senate. Those 53 Senators will make sure that nothing happens. In fact, they have already publicly pledged to block any impeachment proceedings.
It started in the 18th century... because that's exactly what it is.The idea that the second amendment was made as an insurance of the people against the government is a myth anyway, and I honestly have no idea where is started
