The majority of the Trump presidency has been Trump committing crimes and evading accountability.  Seriously, like every day he’s very publicly working on a coverup, and that’s just the Trump we see.  Who knows what the more nefarious Trump is doing right now.

Then I remember Bolton's lawyer very publicly dangling candy from a windowless van in front of Democrats to invite his testimony for a high profile news spectacle.  Yeah, this looks legit.  Oh, and he just signed a book deal -- the hallmark business of Washington integrity.  But if the mustache rides are free ... .

If Bolton signed a book deal, testifying would sell a metric shit-ton of books.  And it would mean he could include a lot more stuff in said book.

Putting this in here because this thread gets the most traffic. Plus, it serves as a warning to what the country will likely face this time next year. You just know that Trump and his supporters will pull this shit - regardless of the outcome of the election - due to his and their history of already doing it.

Close Election in Kentucky Was Ripe for Twitter, and an Omen for 2020

A few hours after polls closed in Kentucky last Tuesday, a Twitter user writing under the handle @Overlordkraken1 posted a message to his 19 followers saying he had “just shredded a box of Republican mail-in ballots.”

It was clear that the Kentucky governor’s race was going to be excruciatingly close, and that the Republican incumbent, Matt Bevin, could be headed to defeat. But just in case anyone missed the significance of the destroyed-ballots claim, @Overlordkraken1 added a final touch to his tweet: “Bye-Bye Bevin,” he wrote.

For those eager to cry fraud as a reliably red state leaned blue, the fact that @Overlordkraken1 did not appear to be in Kentucky — Louisville was misspelled in the location tag on his tweet, for one thing — was not going to get in the way of a useful narrative. Nor was Twitter’s decision to suspend his account.

Within hours of @Overlordkraken1’s tweet, as it became apparent that Mr. Bevin was trailing in the vote tally, hyperpartisan conservatives and trolls were pushing out a screenshot of the message, boosted by what appeared to be a network of bots, and providing early grist for allegations of electoral theft in Kentucky. High-profile right-wing figures were soon tweeting out their own conspiracy theories about the election being stolen — messages that were in turn pushed by even more trolls and bots — and the Bevin campaign began talking about “irregularities” in the vote without offering any specifics or evidence.

Yep, 2020 is going to be a shit show unless it's a landslide against the dotard, and even then.  Nov-Jan could be very violent.

New GOP argument, yes, Trump committed a crime, but he does it all the time so it shouldn't be impeachable.  Pretty sound logic.

That’s been an element of their defense/strategy for a long time: “how could it be a crime? He does it out in the open, and nobody would do that if it was a crime!”
Nobody except Trump, of course. It’s perfect gaslighting.

Not a lawyer, but I have a tough time believing that would work as a defense.  

"Your honor, of course my client killed her, which I admit he shouldn't have, but he does it all the time...the family of the victims should just get over it.  The defense rests."

And the jury of accomplices to the murder ignores the law, talking on their phones through the entire trial, and acquits anyway.

Yes, but we live in a simulation where nothing matters.

pretty big breaking news from the President himself.  those transcripts of testimony Schiff has been rolling out the last week?  doctored.

 

excerpt from one of the authentic ones

Q.  Isn't it true, Ambassador Taylor, that the President would not release the funds unless Ukraine promised the announcement of an investigation?

A.  I'd like to confer with my counsel, Ms. Diamond.

Lol.  Glad he’s being relegated to the shithole south for the support he craves.  Can’t wait to kick his ass out of the WH and force him to pander to those dumbshits to sustain himself.  Enjoy, fucko!
