somewhere in the shadows, Mike Pence straightens out his tie, cracking a rare full-teeth-smile
- ... The president in this document is asking his counterpart to deliver the goods on a possible electoral opponent. And he is doing it himself. There is no plausible deniability. If this is not collusion in precisely the sense that collusion’s absence was purportedly so exculpatory in the Russia context, it’s hard to imagine what collusion would look like. And unlike the conduct described in Volume I of the Mueller report, the president is no longer a private citizen. Now, he is actually corruptly wielding the powers of his office in order to achieve this abusive end. This represents a dramatic escalation in severity.
Guys, it's over. Stop doubting that it's over. There's so many fuckin' crimes going on here, we got all the crimes! 50 cents a crime, commit ya crime while ya still can, folks, 'cuz the crimin' is gettin' hot!!
Here's the problem: in some finite amount of time before he's removed from office, Trump will find out that he's going to be removed from office. Which is either going to be really really bad, or is the thing he wanted all along. I mean, how magnificently stupid do you need to be to have done this? Fantastically.
ghostoffuffle, you can get drunk tonight for entirely the opposite reason you did last week, buddy.
Dude, did you see the press conference last night? I'm not sure Pence is feeling all that chipper this morning. I couldn't help imagining the interactions between congressional Democrats and Trump yesterday- PELOSI: All right, boys, let's give him just enough rope to hang himse... TRUMP: Is this all the rope you got? I need more rope. This knot only has seven coils, I need to make thirteen. Only the most beautiful knot. Hey, that guy doesn't have rope. Get that guy some rope, too.
I do not relish the idea of a president Pelosi but I do relish the idea of 62 million red ball caps exploding off 62 million furious numbskulls in a balletic Bellagio fountain of bone shards and apoplexy
What if Trump is actually a savant and this was his way of removing himself from office without removing himself from office. (Taps forehead) Or he’s just completely unsuited for office. But we’re already seeing some, a few, Republicans saying they’re not more worried after “reading” the whistleblower complaint. Democrats better keep the pressure up in tandem with the news media and keep control of the narrative.
"He simply threatened to nuke the third largest Ukrainian city if no guilty verdicts were rendered against the Bidens, AS IS HIS RIGHT AS PRESIDENT." "We don't want to diminish the power of the executive no matter what until we try to completely abolish it after losing in 2020." "This is all a distraction from the border crisis where presumably a new Biden enters into our borders roughly every 28 minues, on average." Ah man, I could do this all day. These people are so done.
"I just pressed a gun to his temple and asked for a favor. After being assured of his compliance, I put down the gun. But did I ever threaten to shoot him for noncompliance? No! NO EXTORTION" "This whole Ukraine witch hunt is just distracting us from hunting the real witches in this election: George Soros and the Clintons, who are conspiring to advance the goals of a shadowy suspiciously Jewy cabal."
"Although I did tell him there was a bullet in a gun, there really wasn't, I don't think. Didn't check the chamber though. But here, we took this beautiful photograph of me with the safety off, gesturing with the gun as I talk. Surely since I've shown you this photo, we can agree that we're a very transparent White House, and no impeachment is necessary. TOTALLY ACQUITTED." Oh nvm, I think you misunderstood. I was just making things up, but you are repeating things that already happened. Seriously though, imagine unironically hosting that video on your site and thinking "yep, Rudy's got 'em!!"."This whole Ukraine witch hunt is just distracting us from hunting the real witches in this election: George Soros...

Wait wHAT I thought I was making things up too. Jesus fucking christ.Oh nvm, I think you misunderstood. I was just making things up, but you are repeating things that already happened. Seriously though, imagine unironically hosting that video on your site and thinking "yep, Rudy's got 'em!!".
I knew you didn't know, buddy :DI thought I was making things up too.
Yup. We are now living Poe's Law.Prior to his political career, he obtained a degree in law and created a production company, Kvartal 95, which produces films, cartoons and TV comedy shows. Kvartal 95 created a television series called Servant of the People, in which Zelensky played the role of President of Ukraine. The series aired from 2015 to 2019. A namesake political party bearing the same name as the television show was created in March 2018 by employees of Kvartal 95.
