But seriously. It's 2019. Trump is embroiled in an impeachment scandal. He's just left an ally behind to be attacked. I can get why you don't want to deal with current events, but...there are current events. You can't keep rubbing the Clinton lamp to get out of the shit this dude is in. It's over. He won. Now we have to deal with the numerous giant piles of shit he keeps leaving everywhere. Keep up.


You wanna talk 2019? Let's talk 2019.

He's embroiled in an impeachment scandal because the Democrats have been conjuring up bullshit 'Scandals' since day one. When he's actually impeached. It will be worth talking about, until then? It's political bullshit.

How many associates of his have been indicted so far? Is he just shitty at making friends?

He should have left well enough alone and not pulled our troops in No. Syria. Probably did it as part of some secret dealings (quid pro quo) to Putin/Erdogan. We know how he operates.

Can't wait to see his taxes from the last 10 years finally come out. That fake corruption he's been trying to find is not there in his taxes. That's the real deal. It's gonna finish him.

Huh, it's almost like politics is generally full of criminals. If you investigate literally anyone in politics I'd bet you'd find several associates who've committed crimes. That's not abnormal. That's not new.

We.... just moved 50-ish people out of Turkey's Warpath because Turkey was going in with or without our approval.

Piffle, Trump would certainly not lie about such things!

“We have no soldiers in the area, you know. We’re getting out of the endless wars. We have to do it,” Trump said Wednesday in the Oval Office. “We are out of there. We’ve been out of there for a while. No soldiers whatsoever.” He added on Thursday, “We have no soldiers in Syria.”

Like half that article is about that.
Congressional investigators are currently vetting the new accounts they’ve received for credibility. Accordingly, knowledgeable sources would not discuss where in the government these new would-be whistleblowers come from, nor what they purport to have to say.

It’s also unknown if their accounts are as significant as that of the intelligence whistleblower whose alarm over President Trump’s July 25 phone call sparked the impeachment probe. Investigators often encounter cranks as well as those with genuine knowledge of wrongdoing. Nor is it clear if these new ostensible whistleblowers have contacted any inspectors general, as the original two whistleblowers did.

“There are clearly numerous whistleblowers out there and many people who possess firsthand relevant information who could come forward, and I expect some will,” said attorney Mark Zaid

I kinda like how it’s not seen as a scandal that the President is very obviously lying constantly and is bereft of any credibility. Actively denied, even. But at least he’s not a woman, I guess.

It is a scandal, the operative question is rather such a scandal lowers Trump's fitness for presidency below that of his opponents.

Also, the woman thing is just nonsense at this point. Pretending people voted because of what is in Clinton's pantsuit and not because of what is in her head and on her agenda is foolish. Even you're better than that.

Well, let's compare.

Trump - Lies Constantly. Self Serving. Accused of taking and soliciting foreign aid.

Hillary Clinton - Lies Constantly. Self Serving. Proven to have taken and solicited foreign aid. Followed by a trail of murders of inconvenient political opponents. Covered up her husbands rapist tendencies.
