Bubbles knowing that something is fucky is honestly the best reaction right now and I can't get enough.  Triple post whatever, leave them up.  Far into the future when history books attempt to explain this entire era it should just be a picture of a suspicious and confused Bubbles.

Where are our resident Trumpkins this fine day??

 

Basking in the glow that they didn't vote for the corrupt Hillary Clinton regime.

Of course, that glow is probably their Depends overflowing.

none of this will stick and Trump will get away with all of it

So what we’ve learned today is the president is exactly who we thought he was in 2016.

Should we crown his ass?

He’s like Constanta trying to leave on a high note. Drops some bullshit then cuts the presser off.

Maybe he watched that scene in The Favourite where an obviously addled, compromised Queen Anne fired Godolphin.

obviously this has been going on for a while.

who'd have thought the idea that the entire democratic party getting hijacked by a 29 year old freshman congresswoman would be not only completely believable, but also such red meat for the right.

so odd.

Not just any 29 year old.

One with brown skin and a ethnic last name.

I’m sorry, but even the redacted memorandum of the call that the White House almost assuredly put out as disinformation basically corroborates that he tried to extort Ukraine into knee capping Biden.  Amazing.

The Republicans are going to come up with the most retarded “whatabout” shit ever to defend this.  I wait with half sadness, and half eager anticipation at the absurdist comedy that will ensue.  

the word on cable news is that the republicans thought releasing this (in its current form) would get the dems off their back and prove their case.  obviously they are going with the whole "but there's no quid pro quo" defense, which obviously isn't completely true, and we haven't seen all the other calls, or the whistleblower complaint.  it has in turn done the opposite.

this and the whole 'forwarding our talking points to democratic house members then asking for them back' should remind us all that there were once some smart people who worked for the trump administration, but they've all quit or gotten fired.

That is the problem with the Republican argument of "there is no quid pro quo" defense, once the cloth gets pulled back a bit and it shows there was, they will have backed themselves into a corner. 

[Bateshorn 9955]

Well, as somebody pointed out on twitter, now the Dems can start subpoening all the staff documents associated with this call.  I mean, talk about a foot in the door.

[kevwun 15943]

The quid pro quo does not matter one bit and the Democrats need to screaming that from every hill.  Simply asking for their help by investigating Biden broke the law.  Nothing needed to be promised in return for it.  Don't let them move the goalposts because they will never stop doing it.

Well, they've told us all along that you can't take Trump literally but you have to take him seriously. He didn't literally propose a quid pro quo. He just implied one so he's guilty. Thanks Fox News!

[4th&Five 41701]

This is one way to drain the swamp.

Yes, both sides probably, so let's just move along.

Wait did I miss a press conference? He was with Zelensky about an hour ago. That the one you talking about or is there another one? Because I can't tell the difference between all his ridiculous press conferences.

[kevwun 15943]

Well then lets talk about Ivanka and Jared and China while we're at it.

There was supposed to be one at the top of the hour. Obviously honoring huckabeef sander's legacy by starting incredibly late.

But, he was just joking!  You just don't get Trump's refined sense of humor.

Oh, and also, Trump meant to say "don't look into Joe Biden" on the call!   Simple mistake!

I think it matters.  I wrote yesterday on this.  I don't think it is a defense you'd see too much until time to vote in the Senate, but I don't think campaign finance violations like this is a slam dunk high crime or misdemeanor.  You can have crimes that aren't also impeachable.  This might be one.  

[Captainant 27972]

Wew lad this presser is starting out shaky, trump is already going off script left and right lol. Glad I don't have any meetings scheduled

[Mojo Hand 4580]

Trump can't remember the word "first-hand" 

[Chad Fuck 17843]

first...something

 

[Pasken 1309]

Did he just suggest China should also investigate Biden?

[sachick 1189]

"So called whistleblower."

[Captainant 27972]

holy shit, trump really doesn't understand the difference between using political pressure for personal vs national interests. Or, he views his personal reelection as a national interest.

Yup.

Trump thinks he's a King and that his own best interests are by default also good for the country.

The “Quid” is a Crime: No Need to Prove “Pro Quo”

Quote

Federal law prohibits a foreign national from directly or indirectly making a “contribution or donation of money or other thing of value” in connection with a U.S. election, and prohibits a person from soliciting, accepting or receiving such a contribution or donation from a foreign national. Federal law defines “contribution” to include “any gift … of money or anything of value made by any person for the purpose of influencing any election for Federal office.” And the FEC by regulation defines “solicit” to mean “to ask, request, or recommend, explicitly or implicitly, that another person make a contribution, donation, transfer of funds, or otherwise provide anything of value.”

Well duh, God put him in the presidency to save the USA so anything that benefits him staying President benefits the USA. It's all part of the divine plan. How hard is that to understand libtard.

in explaining the whole thing to the wife last night, i was like, "and i'm not sure about the timing, but he held back foreign aid money that we were sending to ukraine."

she was like, "but wait, he can't do that, right?  i mean, it's not his money."

the wife just broke through to a conclusion trump hasn't yet discovered.

I love how he cited pressure on Ukraine from Dems and said "Sound familiar?", which acknowledges that he was putting pressure on Ukraine too.

[jimmyjazz 46476]

You can always tell when he is straight up lying, because his pitch climbs and he starts speaking in a sing-song voice.  No doubt he considers himself a great orator and that everyone listening totally buys it all.
