1. Sorry, but I don't believe that.

I think it started out as a way to discredit Biden in the minds of the moron tfg followers and then it snowballed to the point where they had to keep going, especially since Fox kept pushing the story.

Like, I've gone this far, I can't back down now.

If nothing else, I think they all got scammed by Fox.

Serves them right. Buncha pricks.

16. I think the Tangerine Felony Machine thinks everyone crimes and that's how you get ahead.

So he thought it would be easy to get crimes on his enemies.

Your rationale might be why the rest of the MAGAts went along with it, but that absolutely does not explain why Felonious Fuckface sent Lev Parnas and Ghouliani to Ukraine and propped up Russian spies as witnesses.

for impeaching their messiah, twice. Even though there was ample evidence to impeach Orange Jesus, republicans refused to impeach him because of their loyalty (or fear).

Much of the Biden impeachment scam was about retribution for spotlighting Trump, and you can bet it was under the aegis of the Big Orange Pig 🐖.

That’s what gangsters do. Well they certainly came off as not ready for prime time gangstering. what idiots. My question for myself is why do I let these idiots scare me? I guess because they’ve come very close to destroying our democracy and our nation.

And say "its up to the voters in November"

AKA... they don't want to go through with an impeachment that probably doesn't have GOP support.

Republicans remind me of the Bourbons (learned nothing, forgotten nothing)

I'm from Illinois and I don't over- (or under-) estimate politicians - recently former governors from both parties were in separate prisons together. Everybody in a position of power needs a thoro going over. But this was such BS, in fact such ignominious nonsense that the party spurring this collection of investigations should be severely punished for such dangerous stupidity.

When it came out he was deporting the Polish demolition workers putting in 12-hour shifts with inadequate safety equipment at subpar wages that their contractor paid sporadically, if at all.
For 36 years, Trump has denied knowingly using undocumented workers to demolish the building that would be replaced with Trump Tower in 1980. Trump threatened, through his own lawyer, to call the Immigration and Naturalization Service and have the workers deported.

I've had my eye on him ever since.

Anyone with a brain who wasn’t mobbed-up or in cahoots thought Trump was a clown. A caricature of a wealthy person of Manhattan—some of the richest people on the planet.

Trump tried too hard, but failed financially and never got the respect he thought he earned from the upper crust of Manhattan and world-class rich people.

Like you since the ‘90s, they knew.

Nothing good would result from this loser getting more and more influence and lending him money meant you’d never see a dime of it again. Trump, among other failings, is a deadbeat.

expense of other people. He stiffed contractors right and left, and cheated on his taxes and bank negotiations at every turn. If he's a clown, he's an incredibly destructive and vindictive clown.

place their country ahead of their own personal interests. They really can't understand how anyone could truly care about the poor, immigrants, and minorities who suffer discrimination. And they really do believe "both sides do it," meaning they believe Democrats are just as corrupt, greedy, and unprincipled as they are.

15. Yeah, it's not like Dumpy the Clown has had a more than 40+ year history of doing his BS.

I mean, since the 1970s, he's been doing this crap.

But, hey, I guess that old "white" man can change suddenly eh?

Right? Just take 40 years of doing things one way, showing everyone who he is, and then quickly do the opposite?

Mmmm-hmm. Kay. Sure.

Their lies are more important to them than their country, by far.
