Also, narrowing the focus to subjective things like "dead people are 'better' than bribery" is sort of looking at one knot on a tree in the middle of a forest fire and debating whether it looks more like a profile of Alfred Hitchcock or an omelet.

It's not about one thing being better or worse on the same scale, it's about one being a legitimate use of the power of the office of the presidency and the other not being. We can - and did - debate the value of the former in the case of Iraq, and its wisdom as a policy course of action. The latter is the very definition of corruption. And I cannot imagine the depths of outrage and hate-tweet posting we would be subjected to ITT by Freddy and grunts if Obama stood accused of this sort of thing.
:thumb: :fist:

It boggles my mind. I am still a registered Republican. I do not approve of what Trump did. I just don't see how other Republicans are ok with it. I feel these "things" probably happen more than we'd all like to imagine... but the guy got caught red handed. We can't pretend like everything is ok because he's on "our" team. He needs to go.
Who the **** is saying they are ok with it itt? People say that I have reading comprehension problems ITT, yet we keep getting this type of response, ad nauseam.

It’s an updated version from the Air Force Space Command. Good lord you people are desperate to criticize or attempt to show how stupid they are on every tiny thing.

Grubthy is the guy in every movie bar-fight that has no idea what's happening, and just starts punching people.

I hope when the history of this thing is written, it will be clear that the senate chose to dismiss the charges because of some offhand irrelevant statements made during the trial.

That the messenger qualified as saying he didn’t know if they were true and hoped they weren’t, despite past behavior of the President lining up with the comment. See: John McCain, listing congressman voted out in 2018 “for not praising him enough,” etc.

It’s also not a surprise. It’s not like Obama was going to go stumping for Dems that criticized him. It’s just President Trump is unparalleled in modern politics for dragging opponents in as public a way possible.

Nixon had people to the end and what did we all learn about Nixon since then?

The CBS report is a singular anonymous source.

But I'm sure Lisa Murkowski is lying about it.

Lisa Murkowski won a write-in campaign for election to the Senate. I'm not sure she needs to worry about what Trump says/does.
