Ah, well. That explains AOC filing articles of impeachment now.
You don't accept bribes from internal to the U.S. but you DEFINITELY don't accept bribes from ENEMIES of the U.S.
Ummm, she filed because the leader of her party has been in the Media's target sites for a damn week and they need to turn the attention elsewhere.
This is all theatre.
Of course it's theatre. The GOP won't approve it. The show now is to prove how ALL of the GOP is both complicit in corruption AND traitors. This is what we call a link. Something people have to actively work around in their heads.
If they vote GOP, they now vote for people who are ok with children hospitals being bombed by the Russian military. If they vote GOP now, they are OK with the fact that the wealthy can make donations for or against ANYTHING they want - including dismantling their entire life because of something they didn't think about before. The rest of us always knew it, but they had done a better job of hiding it.
Now it's out there. Now there is a link. Now you have to say "I am ok with being a traitor for a party that doesn't have my best interests in mind."
So yeah it's theatre. It'd be pretty stupid to not make this big.
Are you still foolish enough to believe that GOP voters care about things like ethics and morals?
Oh you sweet summer child!.
I'm with this guy I think we should throw our hands up and never try to do anything difficult. Life is easier when you just give up, and it's more fun when you can demoralize those around you as well!
Look at these slacktivist losers complaining on the internet like they're actually accomplishing anything.
Yet you're going to go and vote for the exact same people you've all been voting for your entire pathetic lives.
I'd love to know who you recommend I vote for!
Without question you vote for the senile old fool. The other guy is a malignant narcissist who is clearly intent on undermining the Democratic ideas that Americans aspire to.
Ah, so still no real solution from you then. You can't name 1 candidate that you support? But you can attack other people for who they support? Typical troll.
Still waiting here - any advice? Who is your favorite American candidate?
What advice? Vote local vote small. Get involved. Most importantly, get away from your keyboard. The fact that you say you've been waiting here for a response just demonstrates how pathetic your approach to this entire situation is.
Some people have lives that don't revolve around social media. Those people are making a difference in this world.
What difference are you personally making in the world? And how does that stack up against mine, since you know so much about me?
You're completely oblivious if you believe that that's the only reason she's filed it. Our Supreme Court is corrupt and has been for decades.
So tell me what's going to happen to a guy with a lifetime appointment?
This is theatrics even if the base is gobbling it up.
Eta. You losers down voting are just bitter because you know that I'm right and there's nothing that's going to happen to this guy even though he's fucking each and every one of you over while laughing at you about it.
Maybe the lack of ethics is also the point.
Maybe the Supreme Court’s lack of ethics standards and lack of a way to enforce such standards will lead to them being created. Why are we arguing over whether it’s more important m that one candidate is old or the other is a fascist corrupt treasonous criminal who’s almost as old, when there are more important issues here.
Again what's going to be done about it? Nothing nothing at all because that's exactly what Americans have set their system up to allow to happen. Electing greedy and moral weak politicians is why you have this.
Yes, everything you don't like is theatre. Bless your precious little heart.
I like this. It's deserved. It's also useless pointless and nothing but theatrics.
If you can't acknowledge the stupidity when it's coming from your own side, then you need to step outside your Echo chamber once in a while.
Yep, but so is the GOP claiming to be the "party of law and order". Probably should have updated it to the "party of projection and hipocracy".
Remember when we had congressional hearings on a blowjob? Emails? Bengazi? Bengazi? Steroids in Baseball? Those are all quant compared to ignoring bribery and treason..... Yeah Biden might be a corpse, but at least he hasn't tried a self-coup. Yet.
Owe you sweet summer child. You actually think that their voters care about the things they said.
All news will now be replaced with "Biden old".
There will be no discussion of other political events. The aging man is old. This is all we care about.
