    Airplanes crashing into buildings no longer veil the fact that he’s a slimebag piece of shit and always has been. Giving that shitheel the power he has over the years is one of the worst things New York City has done since the draft riots.

    Watching him burn might achieve a higher state of orgasm known.

    Well, it's the same crime, just for a slightly different reason than Biden, but yeah, he looks pretty guilty now.

    I don't know why you guys keep talking about goalposts. It's been the same standard applied to everyone. Believe it when there's evidence... or when they just tell you in this case.

    That's taking what Mulvaney said out of context and projecting quite a bit. Holding up the money until the corruption around the hacking of the democratic server is straightened out is not "investigating democrats" that's holding the country's feet to the fire to get their shit in order. You know kind of like what Biden said they were going to hold up aid money for. This is a completely different matter than the call where investigating Bidens son came up. The implications of that are worse obviously as that seems like personal gain on the presidents part. Investigating, what many called the worst threat to our elections in history, seems like a legitimate reason to hold up free money hand outs for the executive branch. I realize absolutely no body that dislikes Trump is going to buy this.

    Maybe Im ignorant of the law, I know the money must be spent once congress authorizes it, but it seems like a pretty good way to exert political pressure on countries to keep them in line. We are just supposed to hand out free money no matter what? What if congress authorized it but then the comedian in charge of that country started shooting dissidents in the streets? Welp money has to flow its the law? Quid pro quo in this instance is used as a very loaded phrase to paint this as nefarious. Like the term they used with Stormy Daniels NDA, it was HUSH MONEY! Huuuuuusssssh Money! It was a simple NDA she agreed to. I had to sign one to receive my severance when I was laid off at my last job. The nda stipulated I couldnt negatively comment on the company electronically, ironic since the firm that bought us out owned the website Glassdoor. It wasn't huuuussh money it was an NDA. As a catch all phrase quid pro quo can be applied to many sorts of legitimate avenues of political influence. It is a loaded phrase the reporter wanted to color the comment with. Let's see where the investigation into the phone call goes. Seems more legit than this situation....

    It's a different situation and while I still think it's questionable, yeah, it's not what it's going to be made out to be. It's pointless anyway. By now Trump has ejaculated into people's brains so much they can't tell up from down anymore. When the Mueller report came out and the people who had been raving like lunatics for years were shown to be wrong (again) and then started blabbing about moving the goalposts (again) it was clear just how far gone people are now. I've never seen people act this retarded en masse and I hope to fucking Christ I never will again. This shit has just gotten painful to watch.

    No one above the age of four should buy this. The Trump administration, for the first and only time in its history, cares about corruption, and the corruption in question just so happens to be a conspiracy theory that would disprove every US intelligence agency's assessment that the Russians were responsible for aggressive hacking in the 2016 election, thereby aiding the Trump campaign? You'd have to be a moron to believe it was a genuine anti-corruption effort. Trump's own White House doesn't believe it.

    It kind of is. The band that once made a song about media hysteria and paranoia pumped out to "idiot America" would go on to make this:

    So Hillary Clinton is out there claiming Gabbard and Jill Stein are Russian assets? 0_o

    Her throwing grenades like this makes me think SHE is the Russian asset. At least Trump made sense with all his business dealing with them. If they wanted a third party candidate they’d go after Bernie. He’s a wanna be communist that honey mooned in Moscow.

    Remember she's also a homophobe. Vox said so.

    Seriously, I can't think of an argument for how dumb the democrat party is now better than the fact that Biden is polling in the 30s and she's polling at like 1.5%. Really, America?

    BTW, Hillary campaign employees have also claimed Bernie is a Russian asset. Milk that sour titty until the last drop.

    Why is that cow still making noise? Society needs to be done with that fucking family already, but it isn’t beneath her to mudslinging her own party. That’s all she did while Obama ate her lunch in ‘08.

    The Democratic Party is at it again. Calling anyone who calls them out a Russian and acting like Trump is the problem, when he's only the result of a much bigger problem. They're still trying to push the centrism = electability philosophy, even though it has failed them time and time again. It's time for this party to die so a party that actually gives a shit about the middle class can take its place.

    I agree, but it's not going to happen. Talk to most voters and it's all hate mongering giberrish of the evil 'other' party. Both parties depend for the life of them on their fear mongering bullshit. The fact is most voters DO think Bernie is an arsonist for pointing out corruption and Gabbard is a Russian asset for being against stupid never-go-anywhere wars. Ask the people who want to vote for Biden, current poll 'leader' what the fuck he is even running on and they don't even know. Such is the state of America. It is what it is.

    Biden is running on "guns = evil" and "also I'm not trump."

    One of those things makes me want to vote for him. The other makes me want to vote for anyone BUT him.

    Also, Andrew Yang did an IamA today.

    I don’t see a gun-focused campaign from the left having any actual follow through once they get to office, if they get there. That said, a candidate running on gun bans or anything like it will lose the race handily. There will be endless tv ads. It wont even be close. They just can’t get out of their own way when it comes to stupid hills to die on.

    Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if the GOP is trying to find an exit strategy for Trump at this point. It seems Romney is trying to drum up support for impeachment and McConnell writing that OP-Ed in wapo isn’t going to make Trump happy. If they found a reasonable replacement, coughromneycough, they could do well enough to beat the Dems.

    Personally, I've just wandered off onto the side lines and started eating popcorn. The idiocy and hyperbole from both sides is incredibly entertaining. And sad.

    A house divided against itself cannot stand.

    Right now it appears that people on both sides would rather watch the world burn then compromise, or even act civil. And that's where we're at as a country. It's not going to end well.

    I would agree with you to a point. I think it’s only crazy on the internet and at Trump rallies.
    People are far too big of pussies to truly do anything crazy en masse. One one one, most people are still kind to each other. It’s not anonymous in the real world.

    We have plenty of food. The traffic lights work. We are fatter than ever. No reason to think our lives will turn desperate enough to go all Venezuela up in this bitch.

    Do you remember last election when people were attacked and bloodied simply for going to listen to someone speak? Do you think things have improved since then? It's just my personal observation, but I think the division in the country has gotten much worse since then.

    It is what it is and at this point I don't give a damn, just leave me the fuck out of it and let me live out my life.
