US Politics January 2019: we are #ready to drop something much, much bigger

god, are things FINALLY coming to a head here?

anyone paying attention has known he was headed toward this outcome. it was obvious before he was even fucking inaugurated.

the fact that the white house won't issue a denial is damning.

i mean, it's obvious this happened regardless, but they don't have any plausible deniability here at all

to be fair they have no idea what they're doing and they're probably all watching tv right now

Trump's calling Hannity

god he's pathetic

"mooooooooooooom!?!"

yup yup yup

idk what "coming to a head" means, there is no removing him from office

"coming to a head" means at least one political party at least makes it clear that this joker deserves to be thrown out of office ASAP, even if the other party won't allow it to happen

yep

"there is no removing him from office"

sure there is

half the country is walking around in a daze because the thing that's exceedingly obvious to everyone, trump's multiple and ongoing crimes, are only acknowledged in an indirect way ("we will certainly be looking into his potential involvement, bla bla bla") by their political leaders. putting aside politics, it's an ongoing mindfuck for many people, like they're living in a parallel reality

there's a dog taking a shit all over thanksgiving dinner, everyone sees it, and half the politicians claim it's not happening and the other half say they're seriously investigating it

I got really angry and started punching my steering wheel while driving yesterday cos they closed an exit and I figure 75% of my rage was really at the news cycle of the last month.

don't worry, we're looking into whether or not that exit was actually closed

it certainly seems like it might have been closed

Fox News reports that the exit has always been open and that Benghazi Hillary libtears

When the smoking gun vid comes out Trump's just gonna say Pixar made it

Weird headline for one of the most dominant open-records journalists in all of journalism over the last five years. https://t.co/Qd4tnGnkbV

cnn with the important story

fuck CNN for this flagrant hit piece so much

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/18/media/buzzfeed-reporter-jason-leopold/index.html

you can say the arc of history bends towards justice maybe but one thing the arc of history definitely does not bend towards is evil people getting punished. maybe that will change but i doubt it. all the trump enablers are gonna die rich and happy surrounded by their rotten kids

if only leopold had the reporting chops of cilizza

In a tweet, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said his committee would "get to the bottom of it."

Karl otm

joke's on him, there is no bottom

oh beat me to it

If Twitter refuses to ban the guy, couldn't they like, just shut down for 2 years

we can only hope

was gonna make a bad joek related to the sizeable mass of Jerry Nadler

in the future i see an ex-president who can't be extradited

didn't he lose a ton of weight? he was almost unrecognizable.

Michael Sweeney OTM. Nothing will come of any of this.

I dunno, I could see the federal government grinding to a halt ohhhhhh wait

michael sweeney otm again

This sounds kinda right to me if only because I think people are sleeping on the potential of Trump dying or becoming incapacitated due to his health. He's a fat old dude who never excercises, eats fast food and has early dementia. https://t.co/L67gfScCkS

nothing may come of it. everything may come of it. nobody fucking knows but for some reason feel like they need to make definitive pronouncements.

as someone said here a while ago, he's 70, sleeps four hours a night, and only eats hamburgers

hamburger thing recently reinforced in stark fashion, actually

counterpoint: Jimmy Buffett seems to be doing fine

idk, i heard he was "in paradise"

Brando made it to 80

the thing is rich ppl tend to have really good health care

I do think the audible demyelination of his cerebral cortex might render him indisputably incapacitated sooner than heart disease

xpost What, is he getting weekly artery scrapings?

I'm staring at a graven image of Colonel Sanders right now

I don't believe for a second that Buffet eats his own Margaritaville cuisine

Buffet also has to stay in shape to play three concerts a week.

Despite his evolving diet he has the sense to realize that 'Beet Salad in Paradise' would go over like a lead balloon.

Jimmy offers vegetarian options at Margaritaville

I ate there once in Universal Studios, almost turned sociopathic on children

Trump neither smoking nor drinking does about 98% of the heavy lifting, so to speak, healthwise. Genes help, too. Fred lived to 93.

well shit

Plus if you pathologically believe yourself to be infallible, that's got to be a great stress reducer in and of itself.
