Ugh, I read through those comments and just became morbidly depressed about any real hope for this country’s soul. These people will follow Trump into another world war and not even blink.

Your logic is very questionable here. Nobody gives a flying fuck how failson Hunter Biden got his overpaid sinecure insofar as it relates to Trump. The fact that our political elite is steeped in corrupt nepotistic practices is irrelevant to the fact that Trump attempted to extort a foreign country into helping him…

“Greta Not Entirely Climate Neutral”

Also: saying this about a prosecutor who was unequivocally known internationally as one of the most corrupt motherfuckers around and one of the main barriers to Ukraine’s government achieving democratic rule. But sure, Donald, he was “very good”.

Yep, this. German law distinguishes forms of treason as High Treason, crimes against the state, vs National Treason, crimes against the nation, which is interesting distinction, although I’m no legal scholar and don’t know much about the details.

Right?! I actually laughsnorted and scared my cat.

The Flint River certainly comes to mind.

Trump may be stupid about a lot of things, but he does know how deals grift works.

I hope it’s not a woman for purely sympathetic reasons as a fellow woman. Whoever it is will face threats to their life on a far greater scale than Dr. Ford-Blasey.

Very true, although you underestimate the ability of the rightwing machine to churn out dirt proving even that guy is a radical abortion-supporting libtard who actually voted for Shrillary.

Get them to bend to national objectives, yes. Not to get them to help a single sitting politician’s upcoming election campaign by providing dirt on his opponent.

I’m sure that would be fun and I recommend we get to it, just as soon as we’re finished investigating the clear and obvious corruption in the sitting President and current administration. If you’re not 12 years old, surely you understand priorities of importance.

Someone online made me snort out loud recently by describing Matt Gaetz as “a frat paddle in human form”.

Important if you want to try Trump in criminal court, maybe. Not at all important for the impeachment process we are discussing here.

In fact I think Biden should probably be investigated, he’s a semi-corrupt old weasel as many of these career pols are. But an impeachment process for the full-on corruption currently making itself at home in the Executive takes precedence.

LOL oh christ on a popsicle stick, are these folks lost and desperate souls.

Karen Pence did just float her brand-new Twitter account a few days back. If you’re up for wasting a few precious minutes, the responses to her fledgling Tweets have been gold and will boost your faith in the American people just a bit.

What’s really sad is that this isn’t from Trump and it’s not a verbatim transcript, it’s the official summary memo written by his staff who were listening to it as it happened. You can bet that the call was much, much less comprehensible and his incoherent use of English much worse.

I keep telling the trolls et al that the real beauty of this is that you can very well detest Joe Biden (I do too) and it makes no difference whatsoever to the crime Trump committed. Sure, go ahead, investigate Biden by all means — but that doesn’t in the least exonerate the treasonweasel we have installed as president…

My favorite thing right now is the scuttlebutt on the DC insider sites that the whistleblower is actually ... John Bolton. I’d be very surprised, but how utterly delightful would that little tidbit be, eh?
