This gets more juicy almost by the day. IMO the dossier is 100% accurate, it was put together by a former MI6 agent and funded first by Trump's Republican opponents then by the Democrats later. Now we're just waiting for it to be verified bit by bit.

This comes hot on the heels of the release of Michael Wolff's book 'Fire and Fury,' which reveals this administration as almost entirely incompetent. The White House is not having a strong showing so far in 2018.

 

If it's all proven true then there are certainly solid grounds to impeach at that point. Not that I'm expecting the current congress/senate to move on that, but if just a few seats swing Democrat in the mid-term election, the likelihood of impeachment skyrockets. Mueller's investigation will probably complete this year and add fuel to the fire as well.

The loyalty and fervor around Trump remains bewildering to me. Those born in the 70s/80s mostly remember him as a failed infomercial salesman. On top of that, he's now clearly slipping into dementia. Older clips show Trump as much more coherent and focused than he is now.

 

Let's be honest: none of them even has the balls to try it, Trump or no. That's suicide by cop/military. Or just cops with military gear. All the alt-right has done is march in the dumbest outfit possible with tiki torches. The one that committed a murder is being made example of.

 

Reminds me of way back when that right-wing fringe group took over what was basically a nature center. Pissed me off so much, like those parks employees were part of "big government" or something. The one bright spot was that several people sent them boxes full of dildos after they requested food and other supplies, that made me laugh a lot even though they stayed there a long time and wrecked the place.

 

In my opinion, there's already enough evidence of Trump personally obstructing justice to impeach him, but that's not going to happen anytime soon without a Democratic congress since politics are apparently above justice.

With regard to the Mueller investigation, the standards of evidence are going to be unreasonably high with a Republican congress for Trump to get impeached for anything it turns up.

 

I really don't understand partisanship... Why choose one side when there is so much to gain from the other? Trump's presidency proves that partisanship is an archaic concept that only causes sectionalism.

 

Bit of an extreme take don't you think? The very vocal extremists don't define the entire party. That goes for the Democratic party as well.

 

I think you've misunderstood what I said. I'm not saying there are no loonies or crazy republicans. I'm simply saying the extremists (like in any group) are vocal and don't represent the entire party. Labeling everyone in that group a monster because of a few extremes seems pretty unfair. Especially when comparing them to a group like ISIS.
Also (mayhaps I've missed it) I don't see the correlation between your last article and republicans. Care to point it out?

 

Right, but is the superintendent of the republican party? (I'm genuinely curious)

Traditional family values can mean a lot of things, since they're not constant from family to family. I would figure at its worst it might imply old gender stereotyping. But that might also just be me looking too closely at it.

That's not true by any means. Several republicans don't wholeheartedly embrace everything their representatives stand for. In fact several are pretty split on abortion, gay marriage, and gun ownership rights. Just because you agree with general principles from a party does not mean you agree with all of them, and can freely choose to support another party because they better represent your beliefs.

You wouldn't help the murderer if he killed a guy, seeing as murder is against that religion's rules.

On this, we agree.

To be quite honest, I'm not sure. The worst I can think of might be the frequent presidential bashing (though a lot of it is very deserved).

EDIT: Also, I feel like we're clogging the thread at this point. If you'd like to continue feel free to shoot me a PM.

 

Evangelicals have become the extreme right-wing cult to watch out for in America. They attached to Trump as soon as they could and they haven't let go. Which naturally means their "morals" and "family values" are made out of wet paper, and they're willing to follow anyone who appeals to their sense of tribalism.

I was surprised the Mormons rejected Trump so fully, I usually equate their level of delusion to Scientologists. Good on 'em for seeing through the game.

This ignores the fact that BLM and Antifa aren't Democratic groups. BLM has protested Dems, and Antifa are closer to anarchists than Democrats. The alt-right are much more monolithic, and Trump is constantly egging them on. They've been adapted into the Republican party as mainstream by now. Rather, the alt-right might be all that remains of the Republican party after all this is over.
