I really hope we get to some mattering now. Who cares if the Turtlefuck will block it, that’s the whole point: make him show his (extremely obvious) hand, so not even the pundits can miss it.

I feel like every new crazy rear end reveal brings us one step closer to a distraction war with Iran.

“You can’t impeach a CiC during wartime!” is definitely a potential talking point.

Another huge factor is that he 100% doesn't understand what the problem is and in Jr. like fashion is admitting to the crime on TV and publishing damning documents that he thinks clears him of wrong doing.

At least he kind of understood the charges of Russian collusion and thus could defend against them somewhat effectively. He clearly doesn't get what this impeachment is really about.

This is underlined by his descriptions of the conversation: “it was a perfect phone call”, what the gently caress does that even mean?

Graham is so far up his and Trump’s rear end that if Trump barged into a McDonalds, completely naked and raving about Obama Lizard Deep State President, Graham would just go “well the DEMICRATS DON’T TAKE THIS THREAT SERIOUSLY”

Nightmare scenario that just popped in my head:

Trump impeached and removed/resigns
Pence becomes President
Biden is Dem nominee
Pence cleans Biden's clock in the debates, exposing him as barely more sentient than Trump
Pence reelected handily

A few problems with this:

1: Trump was essentially a angry demented toddler during the debates and he still won the goddamn thing and

2: Pence is about as charming and crowd-pleasing as a fundamentalist horsefucker. He’d never be able to look good next to (technically not but comparably pleasant) Biden.

That explains a lot! Have you actually checked to see if the mummy is in the museum - or if it's "missing"?

Catch 22 is unjustifiably unread today.

I guess I better start reading it again.

I think about it quite often, despite not having reread it in the last few years.

I'd like to recommend another book by Heller called "God Knows (Go Figure)" which is a fantastic read. It's essentially the Biblical David who tells the reader his lifestory on his deathbed. It's a rare book to come by nowadays but it's absolutely fantastic, easily just as good and funny as Catch-22.

As I've said before, the longer this drags out, the bigger are the risks that Trump starts a new forever-war in the Middle East.

Any speculation on particular defense strategies from GOP has to take into consideration that this is just the beginning; we’ll have much more juicy stuff dripping out into the newsfeed for the foreseeable future, and beyond that, there’s Trump himself. In between these panic tweets of his he’s likely to try something unspeakably stupid.

Also could there be the chance he didn’t think it would be this bad? Like Trump told him the tape was totally okay, so he figured to release it to show it was nothin, when it really wasn’t.

“Well if he thinks it’s not too bad to release then I’m sure it’s nothing. I know he’s a barely functioning toddler-vegetable but surely he can’t be...THAT dumb?”

And he was.

The first time I ever saw Lindsay Graham was when he was guesting The Daily Show, playing pool and stressing the point what a crook Trump was and that he’d never vote for him.

The presidential debates is gonna be a massacre regardless of who he is challenged by. His staff will likely fight tooth and nail to prevent him from participating but that would make the big fat baby look weak so he’ll show up, sniff a whole bunch and incriminate himself on live television.

I’ve already brought up the prediction of him using a slur openly before the year is over. Here’s another one: he’ll threaten a presidential candidate with imprisonment on live television next year.
