So if they move for impeachment in the House, the Trump admin just stonewalls them on all subpoenas, the Supreme Court rules 5-4 that actually the House power to impeach does not give them special investigative powers and that power belongs to the Senate for the trial, Mitch stages a show trial with no real evidence at all, and at the end Trump plays victim and says look how unfair they were to me and I'm still in office therefore I'm innocent which corporate media parrots for weeks. Is that what's probably going to happen?

He's mocking a child on the spectrum who wants a better future but he's loving loving destroying the planet right now, despite having a child on the spectrum himself. One of his most disgusting tweets yet. He isn't sincere. Don't even think that for a second.

He’s being sarcastic because he is a hateful soulless piece of poo poo just like his supporters and and the entire Republican party. If today’s protests gave me anything, it’s hope that between the climate crises, guns, lack of access to healthcare, and ever increasing debt the youth of our nation, of the world have had enough. They are not laughing, they are pissed. A loving reckoning is coming, and it will be lead by our vengeful youth.

eke out posted:no. But what do you think is gonna happen when Trump ignores the house's subpoenas and it goes before the Supreme Court? Do you think, regardless of any and all precedent or even what is written in the Constitution, that they're going to rule against Trump on this? If you do, you are much more optimistic than I am at this point.

Otteration posted:So it's better that it is promising taxpayer money? Legally, yes, it is better that it's promising taxpayer money. Because that's basically the purpose of foreign aid - to use taxpayer money as leverage to influence other countries to cave to the current government's policy objectives. There's no law saying that can't be done, Because it looks really loving dumb to do poo poo like insist that standard foreign-policy behaviors are suddenly "unprecedented". There's plenty of legit stuff to get pissed at Trump about, but liberals always focus on the dumbest and most minor poo poo.

Wow, someone actually drew an equivalence between pressuring someone to fire a corrupt prosecutor and pressuring then to investigate their political enemies. (The former of which, BTW, has direct relation to efficacy of aid).

MP is right in that focusing on whether Trump violated any specific laws or statures is vastly missing the greater picture, in that Trump has grossly abused the powers of his office for personal gain. Politico of all places had a good article on this:quote:Reports that President Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has prompted a flurry of speculation Trump, by withholding military aid, has committed bribery or extortion.
