Not that any Trumpist will be put off by anti-Semitism (including those who really should know better).
Hope is the denial of reality
Two for the price of one: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/pol...235830792.html
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Can't see Trump turning on his base.

Shame makes people stupid, and this is what the combination of shame and stupidity looks like:

So fucking sad.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Can you imagine what would happen if a Democrat said they didn't trust the FBI and CIA?
Hope is the denial of reality
I mean when the #1 and #2 at the FBI get fired for their abject failures and lies (And since their sworn testimony was in direct contradiction at the very least one of them had to be lying) why would you trust the FBI? Listen to them of course and take a look at what they say but blind trust is a no go.
Listen to this and see why Schiff is the biggest embarrassment.

There's a ton of conspiracy theories flying around. God knows which they're referring to at any given time.
Hope is the denial of reality
It's a distraction. Any objection he may have to Comey & McCabe applies a thousand times more to Trump & co, about far more serious matters. He's trying to throw up chaff to obscure the reality that he doesn't care that POTUS is a dangerous crook who should be impeached, removed from office and put in jail. All of this whataboutism and conspiratorial boomer bullshit is just cover—albeit pathetically transparent.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
The president is a fuckwit:

So, to reiterate, the US has thrown its Kurdish allies under the bus and is now saying crazy shit about turkey. Anyone watching this and thinking that it's funny or smart or proper is an idiot.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
His great and unmatched wisdom? That's disturbing, but goes with his I alone can fix this and stable genius claims.
Making an impulsive and unilateral decision about the Syrian Kurds (that surprised his advisors, the pentagon, and even Republicans) is more proof that he's unbalanced. I don't understand how his enablers can ignore that, and keep making excuses because they like "some" of his policies.
Now that a good number of (R) have denounced this Syria move....maybe they can be convinced that *dissent* is better than being a cowardly loyalist? Cracking that wacky firewall King Trump built around the presidency could be an important first step. Then protecting whistleblowers, and believing our own intelligence agencies (over any foreign nation) will follow. FFS I hope so.
It's low-cost signaling on a low-stakes issue. Even if they "win" in a showdown, the damage will already have been done, and it will not be reversed by politicking in congress. Trump—and, by extension, the US—got rolled by Erdogan.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Well, the bombing of the Kurds has begun. Let's see how Trump is going to destroy and obliterate the Turkish economy, just like he did last time.
He's a fucking monster.
What's ironic is that earlier today liberals were blasting Trump for threatening our "NATO ally" as another example of Trump being unhinged. It doesn't matter what Trump does he's going to get flak for it.
That said - I think Trump has badly misplayed his hand here. Turkey not respecting our desires here should bring about heavy consequences for Erdogan who is a colossal piece of shit. I'd love to see Trump actually push hard for the expulsion of Turkey from NATO over this. They've already been in violation of the basic charter required of NATO countries for years.
Trump believes he has *absolute rights* as POTUS. The only check comes from congress, and since congress defines what "high crimes and misdemeanors" means...let's take the Impeachment process to the next level, please.
Correction: Trump was blasted for not including our allies in international strategy. Turkey is a NATO member, but not necessarily an ally of democracy.
But Trump doesn't believe in NATO. Or any other multi-lateral international coalition. That's "globalism" that makes the US chumps to the rest of the world. Fuck diplomacy --that's part of the administrative state that needs to be dismantled. And our intelligence agencies can go to hell -- they're part of The Deep State that's trying to undermine the duly elected president. Can't trust any US agency, so go to known corrupted foreign nations to prove US corruption?That said - I think Trump has badly misplayed his hand here.

WTF
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
Romney's reportedly starting to build a coalition of R's who'll vote to convict once the impeachment goes to the Senate. I think yesterday made it clear that we need to get this impeachment going ASAP.
Fingers crossed. But keep in mind, only 4/10 Republicans believe Trump mentioned the Biden name on his call with Ukraine's President, so we are not dealing with people who have their eyes open. Lewk is a case in point.
EDIT: When it became clear to Nixon that he'd be impeached and removed, he resigned. But I seriously doubt the Traitor will do that. What a circus that will be. Look for him to order Barr to have Pelosi et al arrested for Treason. Wonder what Barr will do? He's plainly been thoroughly corrupted.

That's in the general public. I think the Senators aren't so detached from reality, they're more cynical self-serving bastards than uneducated idiots. As the impeachment goes forward I expect the support for impeachment/conviction to climb in the public and it'll become more dangerous not to vote for it. Trump's impeachment already has more public support than Nixon's did, and history is pretty unequivocal about that being the right thing to do.
edit: The Syria debacle has already flipped some R's against him. I guess it just takes a bit of genocide...
I really don't know. He's too unpredictable at this point - he could resign to try to save face, or he could declare himself king for life and order a nuclear strike on Congress. He already fired Pelosi from her position as Speaker (he can't really), and is trying to start an impeachment for Romney (also not a real thing). I don't think he's fully in the same reality as the rest of us.EDIT: When it became clear to Nixon that he'd be impeached and removed, he resigned. But I seriously doubt the Traitor will do that.
