I feel like we're entering the "so many crimes nobody can keep track of them all" phase of the Trump presidency.

I'm thinking of a scenario where the crimes are so blatant that there enough republicans in the Senate willing to join democrats in voting for Trump's removal, but Mitch McConnell refuses to bring it to a vote because "gently caress you I'm Mitch McConnell". But I don't know enough about Senate procedure to know if McConnell can do that.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
I have a real loathing for Trump and all his ilk, but I gotta say it's just not the same as the fervent, sharp hatred I have for Mitch

You must have had some gigantic balls if you can see them all the way out there with the naked eye.

On topic:
It's early on Sunday morning here in the UK. I checked the newspaper headlines while I was doing errands. Absolutely nothing about the trouble Trump is in but that is understandable because our government is falling apart too. I'll check again later, it's prabably buried in the world news sections or it could be front page news by tomorrow.

One theory about him and Flynn getting so huffy about Stormy Daniels, is that not only was "Tiny Hands" banging her, as well as Playboy models and the like.....

While there's no evidence of it, suppose he (through whatever demonic witchcraft and/or devil's pact made it possible) happened to father a child with one of them.

Now suppose the legaleze is specific enough, that Melania gets some TREMENDOUS amount of money payout if it was found that he happened to father a child out of wedlock?

I mean, sure. He doesn't give a gently caress about moral consequences in this case; Losing a poo poo-ton of money? (via alimony) I'm sure that bothers him YUUUUUUGELY, money is all he loving cares about.

Seems he probably wouldn't be happy about having to support any number of bastard kids who might not have been "Alt-Reich" compliant, let's just say.

And now, back to your previously scheduled :hmbol: programming.

he DID father a child they had it aborted and that rockfaced rich guy claimed it was his child that was aborted instead of trumps...but it was trumps. the fat guy who looks like they took a meat tenderizer to him as a infant.

I know I'm not the guy you asked but let me just put it like this: Our media is going through some strange phases. First confusion then grim acceptance. Next came the exasperation and now it is giving way to sarcasm and snarkiness. I'm guessing the next phase is going to be outrage and anger.

Channel 4 news is good because they are not scared to present counter-points to the things politicians say. I stopped watching TV news a while ago and only came back to it a recently. It turns out old-school traditional media is getting as fed up with being lied to as the public is.
