The President of the United States (Shirtbag) is asking for political opponent to be arrested for Treason (Schiff)

Yes, but social media companies are garbage who helped fuel the rise of the alt right worldwide, and they care more about money than our democracy crumbling into fascism.
Anyone have any idea what quote he's referring to by Schiff? Or is he just talking out of his ass like always?
He's talking about Schiff's opening statement from last week's Maguire testimony. You can read it here (the part where he summarizes the phone call starts at 00:22:11): https://www.rev.com/blog/joseph-maguire-testimony-transcript-intel-chief-testifies-before-congress
Schiff is pretty clear that he's not quoting the call directly, and his characterization is pretty accurate anyway.
When that happened at the start I thought "oh, this is what they'll attack" Schiff played it almost a little too straight, he should have gone a bit over the top.
But to attack it and say he was trying to direct quote the President is ridiculous. It's pretty clear what he was doing.
I do not understand why anyone would want Twitter to ban him. None of his behaviours would change, you just wouldn't be as privy to it and he wouldn't give as much ammo to his opponents and their lawyers. Don't forget, stuff like his Muslim Ban was thrown out at court partly because of his idiotic tweets. All of his advisors and people who want to keep him in power would be ecstatic. Not only would they have a very easy and obvious victim narrative (being able to completely change the narrative to him getting banned, making it all about that), they would have a way easier time actually hiding away their intentions and monitoring his nonsense.
Maybe Stalin would be the same if he was around today, it's depressing how the west has gone down the toilet the last 10 years or so.
That stunt Schiff pulled was such a catastrophic blunder, I almost swerved off the road listening to the opening statement live.
You're starting an impeachment inquiry over what Trump said on a call and literally don't quote A SINGLE THING from the call, just make up some silly mafia dialogue. He handed it to repubs on a silver platter. "See? The call was so entirely innocuous that the Shady Dems couldn't quote a single thing from it that was wrong and had to resort to an imaginary script".

To be fair, even the "transcript" is not a direct quotation of what was said on the call.
They're still riding with this next level gaslighting about the whistleblower rules when you can just look for yourself to see that it hasn't changed.
But Trump supporters aren't intellectually curious enough to ever check out stuff for themselves and the GOP counts on it.
75 Dimensional Chess theory: I'm beginning to wonder if it was done on purpose to give old thin skin dumpster fire something stupid to focus on.
I think it was just a bad call by Schiff. The kind of parallel you an make while talking to the media, but not at an official hearing. That said, it's great that it seems to be working out ok. Now Trump is throwing around treason and arrests because Schiff told a short story.
Didn't he rob a bank? Or was that Rip Torn (RIP). Or both?
Should have done the Brando voice
If he'd put on a puppet show Trump and the rest of his goons would've been screaming that Trump wasn't actually made of felt and googly eyes. They rely so hard on their base being utterly brainwashed and devoid of critical reasoning it should be hilarious how transparent their whining is.
it's kinda pathetic how the right are spinning all of this positively and think that he's being persecuted or something. and that the whole ukraine call was cause he was cleaning up corruption or draining the swamp. Like, how fucking dumb are his supporters?
The right wing in every country I've cared to follow specialise in being the victim because some people below them said "this shit sucks".
Even though they have all the levers of power.
Haha I didn't hear that, it I do remember something about him being in financial and legal trouble and maybe he fled to Mexico for some time? My brain is not fully functional this morning.
I thought Randy Quaid hated Trump for some conspiracy theory nonsense?
The whilstleblower, that we proved is telling the truth by releasing the "transcript", is FAKE!@#!@$R#$!@#!@!@#!@
He ran away to Canada because he was paranoid that a secret society was killing off B-Movie actors.
No. I'm not making it up.
As for Rip Torn, I'm pretty sure he got drunk, and broke into a bank because he thought it was his house. Then he fell asleep in there.
Why do people actually want him banned from Twitter? His unhinged tweets harm his approval rating in a big way. He'd be doing ridiculously better without them. And he'd be doing even better spewing shit against twitter for banning him.
As harmful as his tweets are they've been cited as evidence against him in several legal cases and I would be surprised if they're not directly referenced in his eventual articles of impeachment. Let him shitpost.
Here's Rip Torn literally attacking Norman Mailer with a hammer. They were supposed to brawl for a scene in a quasi biographical scene. But Rip took it too far and literally attacked him with a real hammer and everything that follows - including the screaming of Mailers wife and kids and the pulling apart from the crew - is real. Mailer bit through Torn's ear trying to get him off.
The crew had been told to keep rolling because both men had agreed to make it sell. But Rip is and has always been a loon. Lucky Mailer wasn't Brained in the first hits.
Caution : potentially distressing.
Trump must be shitting bricks. Good times. Not soley the Ukraine thing, he must know is completely screwed by all his other crimes and being President was his only protection.
And yet... all he had to do was NOT commit crimes... and he couldn't even do that.
I think it was not a good idea for the orange to start the week with threatening Civil War.
This gonna be another shitty week for that shirtbag.

And it's only Monday. Wonder how next week is going to be like tomorrow.
