I've said it before, and I still think that the reason this scandal is sticking is because the chuds now have to choose between believing Trump and believing Trump. The Ukraine scandal is a hoax, but also he asked Ukraine to meddle in our elections, but also it was a perfect call where he didn't ask that, but also asking for Ukraine's assistance was totally cool and good because Biden is corrupt.

Fox News et al could get this story into line if they didn't have to contradict Trump, but it's reached a point where it's literally impossible not to do so.

This is true. Also, the White House dug its own grave by releasing the record/transcript that confirms the entire story and they don't have a defined target for their ire and mudslinging. Before, they could project all kinds of weakness and "bias" onto Mueller and his supposedly "conflicted" investigators. Now all they have is an unknown but credible whistleblower, which is probably one big reason why they're so intent on finding out who it is.

Also I saw some Warren hits going around on social media claiming that she was profiting off of the private prison industry. Apparently she has a target retirement fund, that holds a stock market index fund. Scandal!

The question is does Trump have an actual strategy in all this? Did he wake up this morning and say, "I'll got out there and normalize my crimes so nobody cares?" Or does he truly not see what the problem is?

The best hope now is Trump, under pressure, commits an offense so blatant that public opinion swings to the point where the Senate can no longer support him. Trump committing crimes on live TV today is a good step forward in achieving this end.

This is literally all Trump has ever done. Bully his way through things, bluster, and just have a "so what" attitude about breaking the law, because he has NEVER had to face real repercussions for anything.

Can someone tell me why this is so funny? I feel dumb :(

It's funny because Warren just out and admitted that she had an affair with a hunky beefy 24 year old marine. Oh and a busty 24 years old woman too.

(She's old. A cougar is a older woman who go out with a much younger man. Think of someone like Stifler's Mom from American Pie)

CNN reporting that the whistleblower is a Registered Democrat. Not sure how they know that or why it matters because the whistleblower is still anonymous and all the claims are true.

Donald Trump extorted Ukraine into investigating his political rival. He asked China to do the same.

Graham can't be following the news, it doesn't make sense to complain about the whistleblower's methods when Trump is loudly asking other nations on television to investigate his political rivals, one of the main complaints made by the whistleblower.

We can't use the President's words against him!


Statements like these make me wonder what Ken could have done for the little people. And what he has done to the little people.

Edit: He was a major source of financing for the founders of the Home Depot and fundraiser for the Republican Party, so that explains that!

Are they reporting that they know that, or that someone in Trump's camp is telling them that.

Also the only reason it matters is because of TEAM SPORTS mentality, a Republican would never blow the whistle on Dear Leader.

Most previous first spouses have used their position to help causes but Melania only pops up somewhere with the #bebest campaign crock when there's another crisis going on at the white house. going to jackson, wyoming is quite possibly the safest event imaginable from a political standpoint: you aren't going anywhere where there's things that are facing the nation's school children such as safety, deteriorating school buildings, or lack of study materials. it's a heavily white, heavily republican district where there's no chance of a parent popping up and saying something that might get airplay. its utter cowardice and shows that trump chose his spouse well

It's insane and depressing that this is what it takes, though.

EVERYTHING has to go 100% right, up to and including the President bragging about crimes on national TV, to even push the scales into the possibility of his having to answer for it.

We know for a drat fact that he gave nuclear secrets to the Saudis, and there's quite a bit of reason to believe that he / his minions blew some of our intelligence assets in Russia, at least - too many dudes in too wide an array of positions got murdered / disappeared / arrested between Trump's first natsec briefings and ~2018 for it to JUST be coincidental / Putin cleaning up after an operation.

there's also, like, that Mossad asset in ISIS who got more or less revealed because Donald had to run his fat dumb mouth
