    If you're ever curious about how fascism arose in Europe, you only have to see the rampant bootlicking that goes on in favour of the current crop of chancers in the US Executive, whose raison d'etre is lining their pockets at others expense, including the tax payers they're supposed to be representing, to the point where they're whooping and cheering at them pissing on the constitution and legal framework of the United States.

    It's incredibly obvious that what these people want isn't freedom, the rule of law or civil liberties, as they have a fondness of bleating about, but an authoritarian, single-party, unitary government, so long as it's "their guy" in charge.

    “Law”

    Of course they’d say that. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what they say.

    What matters is that Trump once again has taken the wind out of the a Democrats impeachment sail.

    That actually matters, but not in the way you would like to think.

    I think people have lost there absolute minds when it comes to Trump.

    He is fleeting, even if he wins the next election. Fleeting. But the damage he is being allowed do will last.

    The White House will swing to Democrats at some stage who may just like the new authoritarian smell, there will be nothing done about it, because it is the new norm, the bar hasn't been lowered, it's been fúcked out the window.

    So Trump fan boys, particularly American citizens need to put their glasses on and start paying attention.

    Obviously I have more chance of explaining that to a Raccoon then I have the majority of Trumps base, but the moderates in the GOP need to get a handle on it.

    I think the answer is he decided you are wrong to vote Red/Trump.
    His vision of a democratic free society is one where everyone has a free choice unless they disagree with the libtards

    "Gibberish" seems to be a common opinion among the law talking guys on Twitter.

    Yeah. Legally speaking it's nonsense but it's not intended for an educated audience.

    Oh… okay.

    No wonder Schiff won’t release the IG interview either.
    Doesn’t mean anything. Could mean the whistleblower interned for Bernie Sanders in 1983

    The Whistleblower could be Bernie Sanders.

    What people are failing to grasp is it doesn't matter.

    lol. What utter garbage.

    What we are seeing right now in the states is the democrats thinking they can use the impeachment process and whistleblower protections as political campaign tools. We have seen FBI directors thinking that leaking information about investigations is perfectly fine to meet a political end also and we have seen members of congress thinking reading a parody account of the president's words is acceptable. These are the real chancers and chancers who have collectively been behaving despicably for over three years now with a clear objective of ousting the president from office.

    Democrats and their leftist allies (enabled by the mainstream media) have pearl clutched all throughout this time about alleged collusion of a presidential candidate with a foreign power, but when it becomes apparent that the accusation was false, and in fact appears to have been based on knowingly unreliable intel created, and paid for, by corrupt individuals, these same people look the other way, revealing themselves to be nothing but sanctimonious politically motivated phonies who couldn't care less about that which they pretend to and are only too happy to turn a blind eye to election meddling and corruption when it's being done by those who they have aligned themselves with. If it wasn't for double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

    You could argue the above, if it wasn't for the President (not a parody) and Giuliani (who behaves like a parody) literally giving a play by play of everything they have done and drawing attention to things which weren't even in the public domain.

    lol. What utter garbage. The President colluded with foreign adversaries. It didn't meet the standard of prosecution but was deferred to Congress to determine whether it's chargeable. While investigating this, another attempt at collusion with a foreign power was dropped into Congress' lap by this same, compromised President. His defenders like yourself have nothing other than screeching about farcical conspiracies and the 'deep state' to defend this due process that Congress is following under the Constitution.

    And, for extra credit, here's a timeline of the President colluding with yet another foreign power, in this case Turkey. Do recall that the President's NSA chief went to jail as part of his corrupt lying about being a paid lobbyist for Turkey. This administration, with it's 80+ indictments, hordes of resignations from every level of government up to the Cabinet and convictions, is by far the most criminal in modern US history.

    They never thought for a second that Trump would win. They thought it would be business as usual with Hillary at the helm. They found themselves wrong footed after her lose.

    It’s no coincide that the top Dovie to the Clinton foundation was from Ukraine. Not if it s coincidence that after her lose donation to the foundation noise dived dramatically and they’re speaking engagements dried up considerably.

    I am curious as to what you consider the 'lasting damage' by Trump tol be?

    Spygate, the attempt by the DNC to illegally destroy a political candidate and then take down a duly elected president, is potentially the biggest political scandal in US history. The DNC hired foreign operatives, including Russians, to create a bogus Dossier that was then used by Obama political operatives in the FBI and DOJ to mislead a FISA court and allow them to spy on a presidential candidate. They then used the bogus Dossier as basis in their continued efforts to take Trump out once he was elected via the ridiculous Mueller investigation. And the DNC continues their appalling witch-hunt to take Trump out with a sham impeachment inquiry orchestrated by their kangaroo court. THIS IS THE REAL LASTING DAMAGE INFLICTED ON THE US AND THE CONSTITUTION.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Trump is working on that. But he has been thwarted at every step as the swamp resists. Obviously not a easy as Trump thought it would be to rid Washington, DC of the corruption.

    Trump is working on draining the swamp. Wow. I needed a laugh. Is draining the swamp taking poor people off Medicare or giving tax breaks to the rich. Ya he's sure working for the common man alright.

    Talk about gibberish! The US Constitution guarantees against a dictatorship with the separation of powers.

    I keep looking but have yet to see that the sky is falling.

    If Trump loses the election he will go home and we'll continue as we've always have.

    You have no clue what the swamp is, do you?

    Trump promised deep cuts in regulations and bureaucracy to spur economic growth... Check, and check. About 35,0000 government positions were eliminated within traditional paper-pushing, tax, and regulatory agencies… Education, Health & Human Services, EPA, IRS, Interior, and over a hundred others.

    But much of the administrative state has mastered the art of survival in the era of Trump. Trump will be judged by his ability to take on permanent Washington bureaucracy – the swamp. So far it’s been a mixed record.
