Why are Rudy and the rest of the Republicans too dumb to understand the difference between impeachment hearings and criminal trials?  You may have a right to confront your accuser in a criminal trial, but this is, uh, not one of those.  

We’re playing 5D chess.  45 is playing chutes and ladders with hungry-hungry hippo glued into the center of the board. 

“You can’t handle the truth as I’ve outlined it at this particular moment*!”

Can you imagine what it must be like to work on staff in the White House at dinner time?

“Not a lot of people know this” = “I didn’t know this, and just learned about it, but am too narcissistic to admit I didn’t know it.”

“You must believe this” or “You have to believe me” were Trump tells way back during the campaign.

Indeed, just like his “people tell me” means “the voices in my head.”

No buck.

You know how you can tell he’s lying?

Hot take. Millions of Americans are not smart...at all. Grifters and charlatans have been getting the better of the citizenry for centuries. Holy Rollers, religious zealots, alternative medicine, PT Barnum. Many, many Americans embrace snake oil salesmen of every stripe. They always have.

His tell that he’s lying is when he attempts to communicate.

I was about to note that "not a lot of people know this..." is a tell for one of his lies, but then realized that narrowing down his tells for a lie would be an impossible task.

I feel this is a weird way to kickstart Rick Perry’s 2020 Presidential Campaign.

The buck stops with literally anyone but me. Also, there is no buck, that’s a left wing media lie.

NO DAVE, I WAS HOPING *YOU* COULD EXPLAIN THE ASS QUOTATIONS. Christ in a bucket! That has been bugging me way more than it should. He puts ‘bullshit’ in all caps, but actually deploys double quotes for ‘ass’. Then again, he uses an apostrophe after a word and calls it a hyphen, so I expect that this is just one more…

I can smell the reek of his desperation from here.

It allows them to be openly racist, bigoted, xenophobic, and misogynistic. He’s the father that lets the kids do whatever they want and encourages them to make shit bad for their siblings because he hates his wife and is gaslighting her to put her in her place. Meanwhile he’s screwing his new secretary, and hiring…

“...their morals...”

It really says something when you’ve got more whistleblowers than achievements in your administration.

As President I have an obligation to end CORRUPTION, even if that means requesting the help of a foreign country or countries. It is done all the time. This has NOTHING to do with politics or a political campaign against the Bidens. This does have to do with their corruption!
