Inconceivable!
They're claiming the family helped create false testimony, in a documentary title "The Trayvon Martin Hoax." Led by attorney Larry Klayman who gives lawyers a bad name. :face:

Someone came up with a zinger that went over well at Thanksgiving dinner and has been holding it in all week.

It's funny to see people who normally jump at the chance to shake their fist at the world and cry 'tyranny' in a Second Amendment context being otherwise completely okay Cheeto McBribe doing his thing.

"Saying Trump is like a dictator or a monarch is dumb."

"Why are you okay with him bribing Ukraine?"

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday evening that Durham, whom Attorney General Bill Barr had appointed to investigate the origins of the FBI’s probe, told Horowitz his investigation did not turn up evidence that Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud was a secret intelligence operative who entrapped Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, as Trump’s allies have alleged.

Because of course, if the deconstruction of the government doesn’t take place in one day it obviously won’t happen.

Seth Mandel is a hard core Never Trumper who received death threats from Sebastian Gorka, but if one isn't all in on everything I guess you're just a closet Trumper... :lol:

Just because the person making the argument is against Trump doesn't make their point salient or sound by good and necessary consequence.

Was Trump trying to bribe the Ukrainians to come to the US and seize everyone's guns?

Not at all. It's just interesting observing where and how the lines get drawn for abuse of power.

And where is the proof of that?

Moreover, I don't believe in campaign limits anyway. I wouldn't give two craps if Putin himself personally ran ads on national US TV advocating for or against any candidate.

At a minimum, I would only start to get concerned when the abuse of power in question actually has any impact on any persons or their rights, and the Trump phone call (even if true) doesn't rise to that level in my view.

I think the “any persons” condition has been met.
