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

I was wondering!

thought that was Harry Potter's name in the Belgian French translation

Liddle' Marco getting ratio'd hard

I understand the anger of Kurds who face threats & attacks from Turkish forces.

But U.S. troops don’t deserve insults,they deserve gratitude & praise.

They didn’t make the decision to leave,they were ordered to.

And they risked their lives far away from their homes & families. https://t.co/24N3hDIKb1

So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!

They'll know a lynching when they see one

Hm guess thats not the way to post a tweet

Where Guns went all over the place and people got killed with the Guns is a great Vin Diesel flick

However, guns are also good and they save lives, nothing wrong with a guns in the right hands. I just want everyone to follow the law

he's talking about Fast and Furious, which was in fact a fucking awful botched program. It wouldn't have gotten Obama impeached though, clearly, because he wasn't impeached over it.

lol the guns going all over the place is part of the job

Sen. Lindsey Graham backs Trump on calling the House impeachment process a “lynching.” Graham says: “This is a lynching in every sense.”

guess the GOP found their 2020 message

GOP Sen. Cruz: “obviously a word with significant historical freight. The connotation the president is carrying forward is a political mob seeking an outcome regardless of facts. And that I think is an objectively true description of what is happening in the House right now” https://t.co/UolbZZ28pF

Go back to your penis pump, TED.

interesting times in Texas

really Huckleberry? *Every* sense?

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a staunch Trump ally who has also been critical of the Syria decision, backed Trump for calling impeachment a "lynching," telling reporters Tuesday: "This is a lynching in every sense.”

in "EVERY" sense, Lindsey?
"OBJECTIVELY," Ted?
"FUCK YOU," guys?

xp, clearly not alone in that take; i hope they both get sucked down in the quagmire and their kompromat comes out anyway

its particularly infuriating b/c the reality is the Dems waited pretty much as long as they could before impeaching, the Ukraine stuff was so blatantly illegal that it basically forced their hand

we could only wish in every sense was true

"Here's my hand. Now force it!"

Cannot see tiny hand

a good chunk of twitter seems to be using the moment to provide some historical perspective on lynching, so silver lining i suppose

should have stuck with witchhunt

a political mob seeking an outcome regardless of facts.

Incredible how un-selfaware all these ppl are

"I know you are but what am I" is basically the party motto now.

Incredible how un-selfaware all these ppl are

sadder galaxy brain: they are very aware

i'm sure Grifter or an ally will bring Clarence Thomas into this in a few hours

"the President isn't getting due process!"

"Hey provide us these people and documents so we can--"

"No"

XP Newt brought it up on The View (which he was guest co-hosting) this morning.

yes, should've put my chips on that vermin

Lotsa fun details emerging:

Pfft.

BREAKING: Anonymous author of NYT Trump ‘resistance’ op-ed to publish a tell-all bookhttps://t.co/wd4Z6728ha

"It is I, friend to Pierre Delecto!"

Taylor's full statement is here.

wow, john bolton the warmongering asshole...relatively ethical actor in this shitshow? wtf

That detail's been public for a bit but yeah.

John Bolton, welcome to the resistance

Taylor's statement pretty much confirms the exact thing the president is trying to deny

will it really matter is the question

Mr. Danyliuk: it seems you have stepped in a Pynchon novel, Mr. Taylor

I mean the crazy thing about this is that Ukraine is just one of dozens and dozens of countries receiving millions in U.S. assistance

Does anyone really *not* think Trump is running his protection racket on them, too?

depends what you mean by "matter" - will GOP congress start to desert him? no
