"Ready to be president"
The bar is currently set well below the benchmarks of "criminal", "adulterer" and "racist"
Don't forget "rapist" and likely "pedophile".
Trump is horrific.

Played by Will Ferrell:When Cohen lists a couple of names and one of them is "Matthew Calamari" it all really just sounds like straight out of a movie/show.
Matthew Calamari.
Just....just damn.
Edit:
Holy shit he even looks the part
So you're saying Trump is no different than any other major politician/president in the US while ignoring the actions he's taken which are not consistent with this claim by suggesting everyone else also does the same thing but they just know how to keep it under wraps and therefore there's no evidence of their wrong doing? Okay then, enjoy laughing at the naive simpletons I guess.I don't think any of that matters. In fact, in many respects it's actually quite helpful - it lays bare the true nature of US power and how the ruling class in the USA really behaves. After Trump, anyone who tries to argue that the office of the president or the constitution are somehow imbued with any kind of inherent integrity or virtue should be laughed at for being naïve. It's such a simplistic view of politics and power held by people who watched The West Wing and somehow thought it was real.
Let's hope she doesnt get bought like Hillary. It's why I think cortez' age is actually an asset. She hasn't buckled to DC yet.Good lord. I know its been said a million times, and people are tired of hearing it. But the people salty about AOC remind me EXACTLY of Hillary's early career. Yall aint even remotely slick, we see you.

https://youtu.be/72gy-LZ4UN0Is there a link to Cummings closing remarks that's everyone talking about?
SO SHE ISN'T READY THEN....if we are waiting for her to make decisions and tough positions...How about we see her make some decisions and take some tough positions before we conclude someone is worthy of the presidency?
The fuck is wrong with you guys?
So you want the next president to be running with a low benchmark... okay then."Ready to be president"

Harris. Gillibrand for example.
Yeah, it was mostly them. The final segment was quite spectacularIs it just me or were the new batch or democrats the only ones who asked legitimate news making questions and not, how are you doing
They invaded and occupied federal lands so their cows could graze off public property for free. You don't think they are capable of even worse?Can people use their brains for once before they freak out about these fantasies?
Do you really think Trump supporters, which mainly consist of a bunch of rural white dudes, are going to grab all their guns, mobilize all the way to Washington, invade the White House to keep Trump in there should he lose in 2020?

It only takes a handful of people with weapons to create a horrible situation.The majority of people are too apathetic. Mostly bark. Also most people can't spare time or money to do such a thing.

Except I didn't say that at all? But whatever, you do you.So you're saying Trump is no different than any other major politician/president in the US while ignoring the actions he's taken which are not consistent with this claim by suggesting everyone else also does the same thing but they just know how to keep it under wraps and therefore there's no evidence of their wrong doing?

Well then what are you saying? Forgive me for jumping to wrong conclusions but everything you've posted so far indicates to me that you're saying Trump is not much worse than any other politician in his abuse of power and position but the difference is his attempts are known.
It was insane, as his speech went on you could feel the tension and the passion ramping up. Then comes the part talking about the children and the legacy we're building for them going to shit, Cohen tears up, Cumming chokes...this was so heavy.
The only part that felt wrong was 'A better Donald Trump.' because I don't believe Trump can ever be better. I can't conceive that no matter how hard I try with my brain lol.
I have to give props to Cohen, too. He felt genuine the whole time. I do think he wants to be a better man and if he lied, well I'll just assume that I fell for it and think that he should become an actor because he was a good one today. I truly hope that's what he'll be looking for after he does his time in jail.
No, Trump is demonstrably more racist, reactionary, and corrupt than most recent presidents. The thing I'm arguing against is the idea that a return to the 'normalcy' of the recent past is desirable. It's those conditions that gave rise to Trump, and in many cases they did things that were still horrific. So, the kind of platitudes that Cummings made in his closing speech about norms should be recognised for the dead end that they are. People certainly shouldn't regard them as inspirational or moving.Well then what are you saying? Forgive me for jumping to wrong conclusions but everything you've posted so far indicates to me that you're saying Trump is not much worse than any other politician in his abuse of power and position but the difference is his attempts are known.
Damn, watching this late, and Jim Jordan is starting off hot with literally trying his damnedest to throw the scent off as hard as he can to try and smear Cohen (who, at this point, has smeared himself plenty enough, so I'm not sure what this accomplishes).
I have a feeling this is gonna be a pattern.

Hours later and I'm still breathless.
Miss Rashida Tlaib did that shit.
Just caught up on what I missed. Holy shit. Cohen going straight for Jim Jordan, Meadows bringing out a black woman to pull a "I have a black employee" card, Tlaib then giving Meadows a kick in the balls, AOC asking actual Trump related questions, and then Cummings heartfelt closing remarks. That was a ride.
I can give you highlight of what all the republicans said...
