Holy shit. After all that has been uncovered and revealed you are going to seriously equate the GOP working with the Russians as a conspiracy theory?
Relating to lying about the blowjob.
Yes. Stone and Manafort getting roped in is hardly equivalent to Mitch McConnell somehow being into Russian money laundering. There's like a million other more important things to investigate, like these hush money payments, Kushner's clearance, Trump's interference in the AT&T merger, child separations...
List goes on.
Of course, that's our friend across the aisle you're talking about. Fucking spineless Dems.
Yup, this is what they do every single time. Try to excuse the inexcusable, try to normalize the abnormal, try to paint as innocuous what would be, should be absolutely damning.When ABC News' George Stephanopoulos asked why Trump lied as part of the scandal, McCarthy said he'd have to ask the president, though the California Republican added, "You've seen politicians do this exact same thing in the past."
Yes, of course, it's a story has old as time. Politician has extra-marital affair with porn star; politician makes hush-money payment; politician breaks federal law while conspiring with his fixer; politician lies; politician gets caught. If I had a nickel for every time I've seen a politician do "this exact same thing," I'd have ... exactly one nickel.
It amazes me that every single pissant member of the Republican Party is putting their legacies on the line to go to bat for Trump. There's not a single member of that party with a spine or principles. Every last one of them just rolls over for him.
Lying about said blowjob. Which is why they're trying to avoid putting Trump through that process.

It doesn't help that the Dems constantly hurt themselves in a move to placate the Republicans.One of the two major political parties in America is fucking compromised and not even trying to hide it anymore and we just kinda have to sit by and go about our daily lives hoping everything will work out
Short answer: half of your country stopped caring about corruption.
And that will inevitably result in the economic and social collapse of America.
Hasn't Trump denied that the payments happened? And that he had an affair? So perjury?
The country was fundamentally broken BEFORE Trump. Trump just helped to pull the shroud of secrecy off of the whole farce. Getting rid of Trump doesn't fix this. The only thing that fixes this is upheaval of the entire political system and gutting it of its financial benefactors.

Listening to the Slow Burn podcast about Watergate, and the Republicans acted the same way then. Ronald Reagan actually said the Watergate burglars were just misguided and really meant well in the end, so why bother pursuing the truth? Why would anyone think they've grown a spine as a party since then?
this is not politics. This is something else...none of the shit going on in DC involving GOP or Trump is political right now.
You mean convict? Impeachment power lies with the House. The Senate then convicts.He's not getting impeached, that's been a given
A Republican senate will never impeach him
The big talking point is going to be "It happened before he was president", as if that makes it fucking ok.
House GOP leader: all the fucking crimes in the books aren't impeachable
I wonder what Era would think about a dem president that went hard left and gave no fucks...the opposite of Trump. Would people still be against or give a pass?
For me, reps have destroyed any "rules" and verbal "gentleman agreement" from the past. I honestly don't care if a left president goes all in while having majority. Also plastering every shit Trump and reps did while in power to remind everyone this wouldn't be some "new" thing to bitch about.
The hush money was illegal because since it was done to help the election, it's considered an in-kind contribution to the campaign, and both payouts exceed the donation limits. They were also not included in finance reports, which is another violation. Then there's the fact he lied while in Office to cover up these illegal activities he was well aware of and very involved in.I thought the issue was him not declaring the payment, not the fact it was hush money.
