    The GOP just HATES the law. They must despise having a Constitution which establishes a country of laws since they allow this kind of autocratic dictator shit to keep going on under their seal of approval.

    It seems that a surefire way for the doj to open an investigation is to be a whistle blower of any sort, and the surefire way for the doj to NOT open an investigation is to be the target of whistle blowers of any sort.

    Accuser makes it sound like he was not found guilty of rape. If Trump is not impeached the US will be rightly viewed as an autocratic banana republic.

      I feel like we blew past banana republic a while back and are onto deciding whether we’re a nation of laws at all anymore. The idea that the US is a democracy is laughable.

      He wasn’t. It was a civil lawsuit. He was found liable.

    Remember all the assholes in the Tone Police from the “liberal media”, as well as all the reactionary centrists, as well as a few self-styled online leftist revolutionary types were all spending lots of time and energy wagging their fucking fingers at Biden pardoning his family?

    Seems he knew full well what a goddamned monster Pumpkinhead and his crime wave really are. If I were to criticize this action, it’s that he didn’t spread the net much wider.

      Just because Trump is a shit doesn’t mean Biden should be allowed to be. This is the problem with the democrats, they figure as long as they are a hair better than fascists they should be respected. Hunter is a peice of shit crackhead who made a career lobbying for foriegn interests based on his connection to his daddy. 2 in 10 Americans supported Bidens decision to unconditionally pardon his idiot of a son. The problem here is that the pardon exists at all. There should be checks and balances against it being abused.

            Sure. I’ve voted D for last two national elections.

            But… they’re still absolutely shit. Two different turds, one is less runny. Good job.

            Over 70% of voters want universal healthcare, Ds can’t be bothered. Our “labor party” can’t even manage to keep our wages and benefits above those of POLAND. Un-fucking-believable, we’ve been surpassed by eastern europe.

            Biden couldn’t even manage ONE stand alone minimum wage bill. Didn’t even bother. You should be ashamed to defend him, that was his platform. What he did there was an evil thing.

            He didn’t need 60 votes. They can use the “nuclear option” whenever they’d like, for example, passing judges just requires 50 votes. (which 8 Ds just crossed the aisle to vote for an individual who refuses to say that Biden won the 2020 election). Excellent work again, Ds.

            Trent Lott the Republican came up with the “nuclear option” term, and bOtH pArTiEs adopted it immediately, because it scares the shit out of dummies. Before 2000s, that simple majority vote was known as the “constitutional option”. They can do this whenever they’d like. They had minimum wage in the fucking bag for first two years. Are you blind?

            I vote every election, and voted for Harris and Biden before that.

            Ds are a minority now for a reason… less than a third of voters, just like Rs. It’s because you’re both absolute shit parties.

            Over 70% of voters want universal healthcare and higher minimum federal wage for example… voters have wanted this for years.

            Independents are now 40%+ of voters. You require our votes to win any national election.

            Please stop treating those who help you like garbage, and at least pretend to be a reasonable person. You’re only fucking yourself and your own party over. Good job, professor.

            p.s. Oh, and knowing my voting is against your wishes makes it all the sweeter, thanks! I would feel awful if someone like you agreed with me.

              Ive seen the entire country go red, a few times in fact, Ive never seen it go all blue. Maybe lets try that once just to see what happens. Maybe the reason dems suck is because they never been given the power to do anything.

              Because dumbfucks like you continue to equate them with Republicans.

              Over 70% of voters want universal healthcare and higher minimum federal wage for example… voters have wanted this for years.

              I guess that’s why so many Americans considered even Obamacare to be “death panels”. You’re full of shit, you goddamn fucking dumbass.
