US Politics, January 2020. Because we hate ourselves.

Can someone please hip me to what dimension of chess this represents, please

They are rigging the election again against Bernie Sanders, just like last time, only even more obviously. They are bringing him out of so important Iowa in order that, as a Senator, he sit through the Impeachment Hoax Trial. Crazy Nancy thereby gives the strong edge to Sleepy...

Ken Starr also on the team?

alan dershowitz and kenneth starr - so weird that he would end up picking famous lawyers who we've all seen on tv!!

pretty basic setting your enemies against each other, no?

Definitely why he picked them! Truly the most transparent of administrations xxp

GOP is more of a Matlock demographic tbf.

though if we want to do the usual armchair psychoanalyzing, it makes sense to me that Sanders would appeal to trump on an instinctual interpersonal level compared to Warren and Biden

He tried to draw parallels between himself and Bernie back in '16 too.

The Sanders campaign, while being in service of a much more competent human being in practically every way imaginable, is also working the cult of personality angle so the affinity is unsurprising to me.

We gotta get Andy Griffith

i heard it's not about bernie sanders, it's about us

also working the cult of personality angle

might also be said of the last elected Democratic president, and most of his predecessors with the obvious exceptions like Poppy Bush

good news everyone, we caught the trump team in an irreconcilable contradiction! we got him! we got him!!!!

Congress tried to impeach both Nixon and Clinton for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. It’s very hard for Dershowitz to argue that neither one is an impeachable offense. https://t.co/LX2g27LgBI

Team Grifter also thinks he'd have the easiest time beating Bern; be careful what you wish for xp

might also be said of the last elected Democratic president, and most of his predecessors with the obvious exceptions like Poppy Bush

yeah, and?

yeah and he turned out to be a personality for sure

thats all im giving

(all Frauds in Chief depend on at least having a perceived good-nuff personality; hence Dukakis and Kerry...)

ah the "it's just low crimes and demeanors" defense

my military vet friends on fb are not happy about what that article is reporting

I remain eternally mystified by the fact that no one has ever beaten this man into a coma.

supposedly he also didn't know what pearl harbor was

“You would totally go bankrupt if you had to run your own business.”

Trump appears to be aware of some of the history, tweeting in 2016: "Does President Obama ever discuss the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor while he's in Japan? Thousands of American lives lost."

Does Shinzō Abe ever discuss the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki while he's in the U.S.?

sorry, i just What Abouted a trump tweet from 2016

He literally cannot imagine anyone functioning any differently that he did in a given situation.

'You would totally shit your pants four times a day if you had to be president.'

Trump unleashed his disdain, calling Afghanistan a “loser war.”

You know...

Tillerson said... “That’s not why they put on a uniform and go out and die . . . They do it to protect our freedom.”

bullshit

most of them do it to get the fuck out of their hometown or bcz there are no jobs

In a Capitol Hill hallway yesterday, CNN’s Manu Raju asked appointed Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) if she’d consider examining fresh evidence as part of Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. As you’ve probably heard, the Arizona Republican did not handle the question well.

“You’re a liberal hack,” McSally told a respected congressional journalist. “I’m not talking to you. You’re a liberal hack.”

Republican politics being what it is in the Trump era, McSally’s office registered the domain name LiberalHack.com almost immediately after the incident. Soon after, the GOP senator asked donors to reward her outburst with campaign contributions. Last night, the Arizonan celebrated the incident on Fox News, as “You’re a liberal hack, buddy” t-shirts went on sale online.

NEWS from Hell: Roy Cohn disappointed he was left off impeachment defense team.

one explanation:

"Cohn's last visit (to Mar-a-Lago was) a few months before he died of AIDS. Trump recalled to his guests that after Cohn had left, 'I had to spend a fortune to fumigate all the dishes and silverware.'"
