Yes and no. It took evidence and a lot of investigation for the GOP to turn on Nixon during Watergate, but they eventually did.

It’s not even possible for the Democrats to actually block any nominations at this point. Every single open nomination in the government now is because 1) the Republicans can’t get the votes from their own party to confirm them or 2) the nominee has so many ethical entanglements that the Senate can’t or won’t bring…

His horrible health care bill isn’t dead because of his “friends across the aisle”, it’s dead because at least 10 republican senators are opposed to it. They have the majority to do whatever the fuck they want and can’t manage to get it done. They were in obstruction mode so long, that they have no idea how to…

Assange is nothing more than a Russian agent at this point.

I was going to post a similar sentiment. I mean, gee Mitch, you guys own Congress and you’ve gotten rid of rules YOU, YOURSELF, HAVE USED IN THE PAST 8 GODDAMN YEARS TO OBSTRUCT EVERYTHING, (sorry, Mitch infuriates me) and you still can’t pass patently awful bills? Maybe the problem lies somewhere other than across…

It’s pretty fucking rich for McConnell to complain about a lack of cooperation from the opposite party, given his epic obstruction of Obama nominations.

The electoral college thought that a man who failed at every business he ran but had a ton of inherited money, would be able to bring the USA to economic prosperity. In other words, the electoral college is filled with morons who think that just because someone has a lot of money, it means they’re super successful and…

I’m patiently anticipating the day when the Equador embassy finally gives him an eviction notice. I hope he’s only given 12-24 hours notice and that they notify the media and authorities at the same time they tell him.

They were willing to tell various demographics around the country that everything wrong was the other guy’s fault, and they were going to make it rain for everyone. Pretty standard cult building, really.

“My son is a high quality person and I applaud his transparency.”

Unbelievable. How did this family become President? It’s like each day they are more stupid than the last.

I’ve been on vacation since Saturday. I heard some vague rumblings about Trump, Jr. and Russia, but didn’t care enough to look into it because a Trump campaign official meeting with the Russians is like a baby shitting their diapers. You’re not surprised when it happens, and when it does it’s best to look into it…

If the NY Times had this then Mueller has way more information at hand and considering his team, he put together whoo boy.

Everyone can be touched. Don Jr is gonna get torched.

The depths of delusion are so fucking depressing.

Since the NY Times was going to release them anyhow, releasing them now gives him the chance to pretend he cares about transparency and has nothing to hide (even though he’d never have released or admitted to any of this if not for the Times’s reporting).

The power of sunk cost trap is deep on the right. Anybody who’s been in a shitty relationship can maybe understand the tendency to double, triple and quadruple down: “Oh this bruise is nothing! It wasn’t his fault! Something made him angry! He’s really, really great, the best, once you get to know him! He’s just not…

No I think they are just stupid as fuck and think they are untouchable. Unfortunately they are not in the private sector anymore.

I’m hoping, hoping, mind you, that Mueller is going to have everything tied up with a neat little bow, and they will ALL be delivered to justice. I suspect that’s why we haven’t been hearing much; Mueller wants to close loopholes, and gather evidence on everyone who’s involved (lookin’ at you Reince Priebus, Mike…

Like everyone else, I completely agree. Cheeto himself admitted to obstruction of justice on national TV. He’s violated the Constitution from day 1 with the Emoluments Clause. He’s made a 1000 ethics violations. He hired his family members to take over from career diplomats......and nothing. Nothing has touched him.…
