Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

[eny]

Pretty emphatic description of Trumps character and raison d'être in a Quora answer:

[Mantis]

Michael Cohen is testifying against Trump; various things including hush money payments from Trump regarding covering up his affair with a pornstar and also Trump's knowledge about his campaign meeting with Russian agents to obtain information on Clinton prior to the election.

I wonder whether he'll be able to wriggle his way out of this one. Watching bits of it live and it's kind of shocking how partisan the committee is.

[Strudel]

The Republican's on the committee are just insane. I don't see why they think backing Trump is such a good idea; they must know that he is toxic to the party in the medium term, so they're basically just increasing the chances of their own ousting at the next election.

[Achtung Englander]

none of this matters. I stopped caring. His base will never move. Bill Maher put it beautifully. America abandoned the rural states and as a consequence they don't fucking care. They know he is a cheat and a racist. They are bible bashers and they defend a serial adulterer. They don't give a shit about their hypocrisy.

They just want to see it burn

[Stormbringer]

Bill Maher put it beautifully.

I don't know if I'd describe patronising as beautiful.

[Raid]

I don't disagree with the main point, but yeah, he comes off as pretty condescending. It's also yet another example of an American explaining a problem as if the rest of the industrialised world hasn't had that exact same problem for a hundred years.

[The Jackal]

Even in doing Justice they manage to fuck it up. Shitshow.

"20 years is too much... four?"
"Four less, su-"
"No, four years."
What."

Also, what sort of prison diet gives you gout?

[Medicine Man]

It's all that lobster and red wine.

2 laws mate

one for the rich and connected

and one for the plebs

I am not even surprised or shocked.

When Prince Philip crashed into another car with a baby and faced zero consequence. Two laws. The quicker you accept that the easier you will sleep

[Alan]

He could get 10 years in the second case. The judge there seems a bit more grounded but you never know....

[Alan]

Mueller report is in. This will be interesting.

I don’t think much will point directly to Donny but we’ll see.

[The Jackal]

Come for the disclosures, stay for the atrociously-written article of typical BBC smash-it-out-and-correct-later-cos-NEWS style.

[Wrathbone]

What a bar he's set as president by personally not colluding with a foreign power to influence the result of an election. The tagline for his next campaign should be Trump: Never murdered a child (as far as we know).

[Animalmother]

At least we know he'll be gracious and subdued about it, won't make a complete tool of himself and move on gracefully. Yes...
