What you 'think' is totally irrelevant.

This guy is apparently allowed to do whatever comes into his mostly vacant mind with zero consequences.

(39,383 posts)The wailing and rebellion would have been symphonic and amplified to unbearable levels by a complicit MSM. This separate set of rules thing got old a long time ago.
Bettie
(16,129 posts)heck, I expect wailing and rebellion when a Democrat wins the popular vote and EC in 2020.
And the poor little distraught MAGATs will get endless press coverage, because that, is apparently how it works now.

(82,849 posts)What would it take for you to say, "Hey, this doesn't look right; maybe we should delve a little deeper here." Also, if impeachment isn't your preferred route for holding the administration accountable, what is? What have you and your Senate cohort done on this front in the last two years? Or does all this seem on the up-and-up, perfectly acceptable to you, and in no way a danger to the country?
