The September 2019 US Politics Thread is great Great GREAT GR8

Zelensky with two Ys in the shamscript invalidates the whole thing as evidence sorry.

they did this again in the talking points email!!!

"Drain the Swamp (and Fill It with Chuckleheads)"

the WH's next steps are to release a vlogger apology video.

"hey guys, "

Jake Paul for Secretary of Energy Drinks

Apparently Zelenskyy is the 'official' spelling and appears as such in his passport my bad.

the extra y is for yucks

Yay Yulia

Zelensky, Zelenskiy, Zelenskyi and Zelenskyy are all fine but he has decided to make the latter the official one. There is not any great logic behind it afaict.

i feel like i'm watching someone trying to write a 15-page paper in the middle of the night, having waited until the night before it was due to start

I'm reading a few of those as I type.

extra y for extra biglyy

I don't know why the WH is doing anything other than maxing and relaxing given the fact that the president cannot commit a crime. This is 'What, me worry?' time, bros!

Trump’s name transliterated into Ukrainian and back is Donald Tramp so the Zelenskyy confusion could be worse.

lololol @ "the real scandal here is..." in the talking points

for those seeking nightmare material, i recommend gis'ing "trump tramp stamp"

i forgot to listen to Rush Lumbago's opening witch-hunt rant today

yesterday it was about the UN speech being a savvy "low-key" act of genius

Yeah yeah, and that time my half-conscious uncle muttered incoherently about his high school glory days while out of his mind on oxy was a goddamn Steinbeck novel.

"Let's be clear" is raddest header style

real lol

Zelensky, Zelenskyy, potayto, potahto, let's blow the whole thing up

In Soviet Russia, thing blow you

so anyone unsure on whether or not Trump did anything improper with the Russia stuff has got to be convinced now, right?

"doing anything improper" is not the same as "confessing to and trumpeting your crimes"

I'm more concerned with the morons in my local newspaper's comments section who are all braying "This is all the Dems have? What a nothingburger!" xp

I asked Attorney General Barr in May: did the White House ever ask him to investigate anyone? He wouldn't answer.

Barr needs to come back to Congress and answer that question again. Under oath.

This time, he better have an answer. https://t.co/ybObJ1GC53

lol Morbs my dn was not meant to mimic yours!

Wrong, frogbs. I heard from Barr, Trump, and Hannity that it was a nothingburger, that the president had been totally exonerated. No collusion. It was a partisan witch hunt and a distraction.

So what if lots of panty-waist libtards think "the Russia stuff" is incriminating? They're just mindless sheeple who only believe what they're told by their biased fake media.

^ Posted only to point out that this is what you're up against when you try to argue from how supposedly self-evidently guilty T. is.

And loads of people hear two directly contradictory interpretations of the same information, so they shrug. "Eh. Who to believe?" Both sides do it etc.

One of the finer points that needs hammering home is the fact that he lacks the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong, legal from illegal. As indicated by his baffling belief that today's memo somehow exonerates him. If he acts within the law, it's entirely incidental, as he's amply demonstrated he will always place expedience before propriety and always insist that he was in the right because how could an action perfectly in line with his desires possibly be otherwise.

Zelenskyy met with Trump again last night on the low-key. No mention in Presidential official schedule but Zelenskyy was keen to post:

Вчора поспілкувалися з @RealDonaldTrump та @FLOTUS на Офіційному прийнятті від Президента США та Першої леді. Сьогодні продовжимо у робочому режимі! pic.twitter.com/8pnu5nHxgU

Bill Weld sees your impeachment and raises

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/23/politics/gop-primary-bill-weld-mark-sanford-joe-walsh-trump/index.html

Intends to kill a guy > kills a guy > gets caught on camera killing a guy > perceives that the world is increasingly abuzz with news that he killed a guy > adamantly insists that he didn't kill a guy > releases shaky Go-Pro video he shot of him killing a guy in order to clear his name > 'Witch hunt! Deep state! Sad!'

Grifter is having a press conference at 4 ET. Has he ever?

What, no double thumbs-up in the photo with Zelenskyyyyy?

He did that press conference with the stacks of blank paper once

That was fun

I'm curious if there's a room in the White House big enough to park a running helicopter in.

brief fantasy just now that both trump and pence get removed from office due this and then we have to run against....who? Weld? Sanford?

Wrong, frogbs. I heard from Barr, Trump, and Hannity that it was a nothingburger, that the president had been totally exonerated. No collusion. It was a partisan witch hunt and a distraction.

I'm not talking about *those* people, I'm talking more about the centrist/"don't watch the news" types who have heard so many conflicting reports about What Exactly The Russia Thing Was All About that they don't know what to think

Trump, asked a question on this, says yes, he thinks Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails could be in Ukraine. (???)

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) September 25, 2019

this guy is going to be sitting around in diapers muttering about those emails

the thing about centrist/"don't watch the news" types tho is that they're generally morons

well, many people are saying it. many voices. never not talking. never. all at once, always

do these idiots think 'emails' are a physical thing? like a fucking binder full of emails hidden in the Ukraine?

I know he mentioned a server in the transcript, but it seems like there's a non-negligible chance that Trump still believes email to be tangible, physical thing and that all of Hillary's emails are in like a big pile in some Ukrainian cave or something.
