That SC firewall still stands for Biden.

 

transcript is chock full of “saying the quiet part out loud,” you absolutely love to see it

 

truly a garbage state, hate i ever lived there

 

Looks like Fox news and Washington Times are reporting that the the IG found that the whistleblower report has political bias, but I see no other news organizations reporting this.

 

AFAIK, one of the Fox pundits said he had sources telling him this last night....I think that's the only report of it so far

 

Also like...who cares? He says it right there on his very own summary. Like, what?? If a person saw someone punch another person in the face and they called the cops would the cops ask who did you vote for in the last election?

 

I was seeing "reports" that the whistleblower interned for Hillary and Schumer like 18 years ago, and as we all know if you have the opportunity to fabricate evidence to take down a sitting president on behalf of the person who gave you an internship two decades ago you do it.

EDIT: misremembered that, It was the council for the whistleblower which is even more ridiculous

 

I feel like you'd be just as likely to actively want to fuck over the person you interned for later in life for taking advantage of you when you were vulnerable as you would to want to help them out.

Maybe I'm just in a very cynical mood today though... Not crazy about the whole interning thing.

 

"So...we heard you were a boxer 18 years ago and got beat into retirement....that leads us to believe that maybe you're prejudiced against people getting punched."

 

So if he gets impeached and removed from office, would Pence become president? Also if that happens couldn't Pence exonerate Trump so Trump can avoid getting locked up?

 

Yes to all of the above.

 

To be clear, Pence couldn't pardon Trump for state crimes. Which he would almost certainly face were he to leave office.

 

Ford pardoned Nixon when he assumed office.

 

I have no idea why they don't have a solid plan in place....for fucks sake.

 

y’all, he isn’t going to be removed from office. getting him impeached is a big win in and of itself, even when he is eventually acquitted.

 

Kinda in unprecedented territory here. Not getting the whistleblower report is already just blowing past the legal realm we're used to.

 

Yep.

(It's also why I like Warren's pledge to not pardon Trump or anyone involved in crimes in the administration and why I think other candidates AND PENCE should make the pledge too.)

 

lollllll it's a living meme now

 

Has Mitt Romney been deeply disturbed yet?

 

You better believe it

 

God this dude sucks so fucking much.

 

Terrific
