US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

No one could ever have predicted a future this stupid.

Mike judge did

Rep. Francis Rooney (R-FL) said that he could not rule out impeachment while saying Mulvaney laid out a “clear” quid pro quo.

“Whatever might have been gray and unclear before is certainly clear right now,” Rooney told CNN’s Poppy Harlow on Friday morning. “That the actions were related to getting someone in the Ukraine to do these things. As you put on there, Senator Murkowski said it perfectly: We’re not to use political power and prestige for political gain.”

Harlow, meanwhile, wanted to know if Rooney felt this rose to the level of an impeachable offense.

“That’s something I can’t answer,” the Florida lawmaker replied. “I’ve been reading about this impeachment business. I’m not really—I went to law school but didn’t practice law. I did read something today. That impeachment is whatever the House members and majority say it is. I guess anything is.”

This prompted the CNN anchor to press Rooney on the issue of impeachment, noting that he had said it was “very clear” there was a quid pro quo as it relates to Ukraine.

“I don’t know. I want to study it more,” he responded. “I want to hear the next set of testimony next week from a couple more ambassadors. But it’s certainly very, very serious and troubling.”

Harlow continued to grill Rooney on why he was still unsure on the matter, causing the Republican congressman to say he still wants to see if this is “grave and serious” enough to impeach the president.

“I don’t think this is as much as Richard Nixon did,” Rooney continued. “But I’m very mindful of the fact that back during Watergate everybody said it’s a witch hunt to get Nixon. Turns out it wasn’t a witch hunt but it was absolutely correct.”

wow i think tulsi just locked up the morbs vote

Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a ...

*BLOODCURDLING SCREAM*

so rooney might be a vote for impeachment...if he bothers to learn how it works

'i'm just a simple caveman'

"fire bad"

oh wait lol wrong Phil Hartman character

"I didn't go to law school" is the gonna be the new "I'm not a scientist"

also dude it's not law it's civics

He did go to law school tho

where’s Schoolhouse Rock when we need it

The learning part of my life is over

Maybe it's time to let the old ways die

Like I have to deal with that shit all day every day in my place of work but I'll go ahead and say that it's 100% inexcusable for an elected official to not understand the workings of the body to which they've been elected.

Or, y'know, it used to be. Even just base-level sentience is optional these days.

he's just a man of the people, not some Fancy Schoolin' Boy

I'm not a scientist
I will not understand things
hastening calamities
and evils yet unknown

I'm not a lawyer
I'm not sure what the law is
seems like it is malleable
and no one else can cave like me

And I know what's right
but I can't indict
or I'll lose, the seat I just eked out
by a ruse
To just pretend I'm blind
Yeah, and just pretend I'm blind

:-/

100% inexcusable unless the very reason you were elected was not to understand

Diaper-spotting for Dan:

People are talking about Trump's protuberant diaper-driven frontbutt in this video, and deservedly so, but spare a minute for his steadfast refusal to let his wife anywhere near his giant golf umbrella. https://t.co/MtlEq4BjyL

Between Mulvaney saying the quiet parts out loud and McConnell's Washington Post op-ed, I predict a rage-tweetin' weekend.

mook, I don't even hate washed-up Auntie Hil as much as I do her 'husband' or Biden

maybe not even Bootyjudge

i know trump is vain but sometimes ppl have incontinence issues especially old ppl, it's not really much of an own to clown them for it

would agree w/r/t every other human being on the planet

i know trump is vain but sometimes ppl have incontinence issues especially old ppl, it's not really much of an own to clown them for it

I cite it here in the same context as a few months ago, not to make fun of the clown man for looking silly

"clowning" on ppl is often (usually?) done on topics the clownee is sensitve to, not the clowner

(I do agree that making fun of Trump's appearance has been fine for at least thirty years, in light of his extreme vanity and boasting)

no to mention his body/disability shaming

We can all agree that the umbrella stuff is still a dick move tho.

Pelosi and Impeachment - There have already been 3 Votes, and they’ve all failed miserably. Here’s why there may not be a fourth - 137 Democrats voted against on the last vote.” @JasonChaffetz @seanhannity Many of those voting in favor will be beaten in 2020!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 19, 2019

he linked to a parody account of chaffetz with 253 followers. twice in a row, actually

What the hell is he talking about

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/17/politics/democrats-voted-against-trump-impeachment-resolution/index.html

Tulsi gets David Duke’s endorsement the same day she goes on Tucker Carlson’s show to attack Hillary Clinton.

she's a nightmare, she should go away. I'm sure she's priming herself for a 3rd party run, but I don't see her pulling support away from the Dem nominee; her appeal seems to be almost 100% with the sorts of people who backed Ron Paul. Could be wrong though.

I kind of think Trump just has a large fupa.

my man is definitely diaped up.

my mom has bladder issues and started wearing one at a relatively young age, so i understand the inclination to not bring it up but...

i 1000% support bringing it up every moment of everyday until he just rage-fills it on live tv. i don't think any of the front runners should address it obv, but one of these no hope dead-enders should absolutely get on diaper duty now. every day he needs to be calling in to Fox & Friends and angrily denouncing these vicious and very unfair rumors until his heart stops.

On Fox, two-term GOP FL Rep Francis Rooney tells colleague Leland Vittert he will not seek re-election. Rooney spoke to a gaggle of reporters yesterday where he criticized the administration, Mulvaney & indicated he wasn’t sure if he would run again

h's not sure, but he guesses that if what he heard about impeachment is right, just in terms of the way it works, which is in the black box of "law" (see: Stalker, "the zone"), which cannot be fully comprehended, it could be bad for him, since everyone he knows is unsure as well

law is bad because sometimes stupid law people try to turn very good winning into bad losing
