@realDonaldTrump
Only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment. There were no crimes by me (No Collusion, No Obstruction), so you cant impeach. It was the Democrats that committed the crimes, not your Republican President! Tables are finally turning on the Witch Hunt!

(9,895 posts)1) Lie, cheat, steal - amoral acts also apply
2) Deny it ever happened
3) Loudly and Repeatedly say you were never guilty anyway
4) Distract, Rinse, Repeat
5) Make new outrage to take attention away from the latest outrage
He gets away with it because the media cannot stop themselves from whoring their entire attention grabbing apparatus to him to suck up 'ratings'. That is all this is...the entire Trump Presidency is an exercise in showing just how bad media dumbing down has become and just how susceptible the American public is to it.
We have become a nation of addicts - addicted to pain pills for some, but for most it is addiction to attention. Whether that is online (via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. - placing immense importance on the trival) or attention in what we consume with our attention (ever shrinking attention spans that is...) it all revolves around smaller and smaller but more frequent doses of attention. A woman driving at 80 mph on interstate 270 outside of St. Louis this morning nearly side-swiped me because she was texting and driving.
This is not just an old man, get-off-my-lawn moment...it is systemic and widespread and getting worse by the hour.
The things Trump has done IN PUBLIC VIEW should have been enough to start impeachment hearings and determine if there are in fact high crimes and misdemeanors in play here...sure LOOKS worse than a blow job cover up to me...

(1,588 posts)The few things they have been able to look at have shown you were guilty. Your sister chose to resign her judgeship rather than face scrutiny on tax evasion. You gave up your "charity" upon closer examination. Once investigators get inside, they'll make an honest evaluation and they'll let you know. It seems you "might" have been paying a lot of people off. This time it won't be so easy.
