The Media KNEW that Trump was a corrupt piece of shit, that's WHY they propped him up!!!

There's nothing that props ratings up more than the taking down of a president.

The media WANTED THIS SHIT!

It means more advertising dollars and Hillary proved during the campaign that any scandals around her were nothingburgers.

Pelosi pledges to force a vote if GOP won't move forward on independent Trump-Russia commission

Pelosi is a legislative genius. This forces the issue for every last damned Republican in the House. She's making them shit or get off the pot!

Pelosi pledges to force a vote if GOP won't move forward on independent Trump-Russia commission

Nancy Pelosi put Paul Ryan on notice Wednesday. She didn’t just call on him to support a bill to create an independent commission to investigate Trump-Russia connections, she made a very specific threat if Ryan does not allow a vote on the bill:

Speaker Ryan must call up this legislation immediately upon our return next week. If Republicans continue to work to hide the truth from the American people, it will be necessary for Democrats to file a discharge petition to force a vote on the Swalwell-Cummings measure.


If successful, a discharge petition would get a vote on the independent commission legislation without Ryan’s cooperation. And if not successful, it would pinpoint individual Republicans who refused to consider the issue, without the option of hiding behind Ryan’s refusal to allow a vote.

Pelosi says that “if Republicans continue to work to hide the truth from the American people, it will be necessary.” There needs to be a tight deadline on that—like immediately. If Ryan doesn’t take action on the House’s first day back, Democrats should start the discharge petition process. We can’t afford for them to wait around giving Republicans any more chances to do the right thing.

Given a COMPLETELY Sycophantic Republican Congress, there is no only ONE THING saving us...

The ONLY thing saving us from complete and utter despotism and a loss of democracy is the total idiocy and incompetency of the would be despot and those with whom he has surrounded himself.

History is replete with examples and it is a known fact, we cannot depend upon idiocy and incompetency to saveus for very long as most despots in history were also idiotic incompetents.

We MUST call it Treason!

Trump as good as admitted he colluded with the Russians by firing Comey under the circumstances.

Think about that, the man who would go on to win an electoral college victory COLLUDED with a hostile foreign government, aiding and abetting their cyber warfare against the United States of America. Cyber warfare is WARFARE! We are in a cyber war with the Russians. It is undeniable!

That's treason by the constitutional definition!

I think the irony is almost delicious.

Trump came into office because of Comey.

And now, he is likely to end up leaving office because of Comey.

Sergey Lavrov just LAUGHED about the Comey firing!

Right now, these TRAITORS are selling out the country in the White House!!!!!

Trump straight up ADMITTED GUILT!!!!! HE IS A FUCKING TRAITOR AND ADMITTED IT!!!!!!

There has NEVER been an FBI director fired by ANY president while under investigtion by the FBI!!!!

Firing Comey is an admission of guilt!

Trump has now straight up admitted he is guilty of FUCKING TREASON!!!!!!

The motherfucking asshole STRAIGHT UP COLLUDED WITH A HOSTILE FOREIGN GOVERNMENT TO STEAL AN ELECTION!!!!!!!

Any Republican that stops investigations and impeachment from moving forward at this point becomes AN ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT!!!!!

This is the most treasonous activity in AMERICAN HISTORY!!!

This piece of shit makes Benedict Arnold look like a fucking patriot by comparison!!!!!!

His name is James Comey.

THE FACE OF EVIL!!!!

Antipodes

Long read, but Jim Wright says it all in this short quote:

...

Let this be a lesson, an opportunity, for those who would be president.

It’s not the edges that matter.

It’s the middle.
