Those Of You On Social Media And Use It Religiously....

be very wary of what you read and believe between now and the Nov. election. There will be a lot of fake news you will have to deal with.

A Trump acquittal will open the floodgates for all kinds of deception because remember - if the president believes it is in the interest of the American People - it is legal.

So don't get caught in his/their trap. Keep an open mind when you hear and see all those evil stories about the Dems and remember what we set out to do when this all started.

Vote for the Dem nominee whomever it is. Our goal now is to beat the pants off of Trump and the Repugs and take back the WH and the Senate.

I’ve read more fake crap here than anywhere else.

I assume those who post such nonsense get it from social media or Fox.

Unless online forums are considered social media, then ok, I'm on three platforms. But the other two don't allow political discussions.

And excuse me for being blunt (not you personally), but what's this bullshit about "if the president believes it is in the interest of the American People - it is legal." I seem to remember it was Dershitwitz who said that. Presidents are SUPPOSED to believe what they do is in the interest of the American people, but they still have to follow the LAW. Maybe nobody told Dershitwitz this when he was in school, but the Executive Branch does not interpret the law - the Judicial Branch does that. Fucking asshole.

but his argument convinced just the right amount of Repug Senators to get the vote they did yesterday.

He earned his pay - unless he told them he would do this 'pro bono' and just for the publicity.

They probably already knew what they were going to do. I think his bloviating was for the general public, to cover the Senators' sorry asses.

Moscow Mitch knew who would vote how because HE told them how they would vote. Including Roberts.

They were just obedient little turd cultists.
