Trump calling Adam Schiff 'sleazy' is the absolute end

Donald J. Trump? @realDonaldTrump
Sleazy Adam Schiff, the totally biased Congressman looking into "Russia," spends all of his time on television pushing the Dem loss excuse!


Schiff is one of the most decent legislators in Washington. Whatever is left of our democracy is resting in the hands of legislators like him who aren't afraid to speak truth to power, and who fight everyday to defend and uphold the rule of law.

Trump will soil the entire nation before we take him down.

1. Why aren't any of the Senators (Dem or GOP) speaking

out on this? Trump is immature and unfit and should be removed immediately.

[Gabi Hayes]

5. Not immature, or

[ehrnst]

30. Looks like Schiff is taking care of himself. And the tweet happened this morning.

I hear constantly that we need to focus on the issues, and not his random thought tweets.

I agree with letting Schiff handle the rebuttal.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Typical projection...

[SWBTATTReg]

13. Sad and pathetic

no president of mine trump...he is pathetic, a parasite, a fraud, and a sad excuse for a fellow human being. I'm embarrassed for our country, but thank god there are truly good people like Schiff (among many, many others) out there.

[iluvtennis]

67. I agree with all you said. Dumpty is not my president either. My heart weeps for the US.

3. Didn't Sen Goldwater tell Nixon he had to resign?

The GOP today have no "Goldwater" to tell Trump to get out.

[global1]

8. I Say John McCain Can Take Up That Role....

I don't see McCain running for re-election again. He is considered the elder Repug statesman. He has nothing to lose. It would add to his legacy. A Goldwater type action used on Trump may just save the Repug Party. Just my humble opinion.

[left-of-center2012]

16. Trump disrespected McCain

Said he has no respect for POWs.

[karynnj]

34. In fairness to McCain, I do not think that Trump respects anyone other than himself

.. and a few others because of their relationship to him. Look at the fact that he has absolutely humiliated Sessions, who had been the first Senator to back his campaign. There are stories that Tillerson is also unhappy with how Trump has treated him.

There have been other Presidents and leaders who have been said to "eat" the credibility and honor that people in their administartion or allied to them worked hard over long years to earn. NONE come close to Trump. There is also a sadistic side to it - one minor example - is the treatment of Sean Spicer. After he pushed Trump's insane lies starting with him having the biggest innaugeration crowd ever, when he accompanied him on his trip to Saudi Arabia, the Vatican and the G7 meeting, Trump purposely denied Spicer, a devote Catholic, the chance to be part of the contingent that went to the Vatican to meet Pope Francis. This was soemthing that would have meant a huge amount to Spicier and would have absolutely no cost of any kind to Trump.

I doubt that Trump would listen to any Congressperson or Senator and resign - even if they told him the votes to impeach AND throw out were there. I doubt even Ivanka could convince him to do that. In his case, either the 25th amendment or the entire impeachment process will be needed to remove him.

As to timing, unless Trump's Republican support falls drastically, I doubt he would be impeached. In far too many gerrymandered districts, a Congressperson's greater risk is in the primary -- and there may be districts where angry Trump supporters could remove any incumbent seen to be against him. I would imagine that if impeachmant happens, it has to happen soon or wait until early 2019 - if we control the House. (If we control the House, they will have seen that Trump hurts them and they might want him out as soon as possible then to give Pence an opportunity to help the Republicans keep the Presidency. For it to happen now, something even more drastic has to happen AND Republicans have to think they do better in 2018 with Pence as President and Trump impeached.

45. McCain is no Goldwater. nt

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

25. Goldwater told Nixon that he had most half a dozen votes against his impeachment

In the senate, "and mine isn't one of them".

That I had major disagreements with Goldwater on all sorts of things notwithstanding, not for an instant did I doubt Goldwater's honesty.

[TBA]

42. Goldwater et al, was able to do what they did

because Nixon had lost the support of Congress, including the GOP by in large. I think that would have to happen today before McCain or any other GOP Senator could step forward.

[Xolodno]

51. With all due respect to Sen Goldwater....

...Nixon made more enemies in his own party than the Democratic Party. Remember this is the guy that rammed the Clean Water Act through, created the EPA, opened relations with China, ended...albeit begrudgingly the Vietnam War, improved relations with the then Soviet Union, etc.

Long story short, everything conservatives were against, he did. And the Republican Party has been trying to undo his legacy ever since. Not saying Nixon was perfect or didn't commit any crimes..and certain members of his staff would be tried and imprisoned in other nations, but hell, I'll take Nixon over Trump or a Bush any day.

[Corvo Bianco]

64. Nixon betrayed mankind when he was a candidate, making calls to keep the war going.

That is treason at the expense of American lives. Character wise, the only leg up Nixon has is no foreign prostitute pee.

[ck4829]

4. Don't wait, politics is a fluid ever-constructing system. Let's crack that bully pulpit.

[boston bean]

6. And then we have democrats who basically agree, by making insinuations that Hillary doesn't accept

responsibility for the loss and it wasn't Russia.... etc.

can we please stop stabbing ourselves!!!!????

[Cosmocat]

27. PLEASE

We sit here today and the entire republican party has become a submissive, obedient, servant body to the biggest POS to every step into the Oval Office, BY FAR.

Meanwhile, the D senate leader legitimizes 45s primary negative frame of the Russia investigation.

[boston bean]

28. I know. I just tried calling his DC office... you can't even leave a voice message.. USELESS system

So I called Gillibrands office, telling them I hope that may he would take her call and pass along my message!

[ehrnst]

31. Yep. (nt)

[MoonRiver]

36. Hey BB, I'm Boston right now!

Freezing my ass of, relatively speaking, after leaving temps in the 100's in Midwest!

Sorry to hijack the thread, but couldn't resist.

[paleotn]

65. A...f'ing...men!

I can't agree more. Stop the GD circular firing squads!!

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Why is "Russia" in quotes??

Is he casting doubt on there being a country named "Russia."

[leftstreet]

9. LOL it's so stupid. From now on he's "President" Trump

He tweets like a whiny little internet troll

[BainsBane]

12. LOL

God only knows.

[lunasun]

26. Because he is a "Moran"

[smirkymonkey]

35. *snort*

[BainsBane]

10. I look forward to Schiff's defeating Trump in 2020

and taking his place in the Oval Office.

[PearliePoo2]

15. THIS!

I've got a MAJOR crush on Adam Schiff. He's 5-tool, he's got it all!

[FakeNoose]

18. 5-tool Adam Schiff - I love it

It's a very useful for term for this guy.

[PearliePoo2]

23. THAT is freakin' AWESOME! I've never seen this illustrated! Good job!!

[Gabi Hayes]

32. Five tools to fight the ultimate

Tool

[Maven]

21. I look forward to Trump not being in office in 2020. nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

11. The whole world is his diaper.

[oasis]

14. Trump fears Schiff is close to cracking the "Russiagate" case.

Orangeboy is giving himself away.

[bora13]

17. diaper boy

can't imagine how Melania deals with changing his diapey.
or is that Bannon's job?

[JHB]

37. Kif's...

[bora13]

40. zap Bannonagain

[Tom Rinaldo]

19. Sick as they almost universally were, I vaguely recognized the hook he used to affix other nicknames

"Crooked Hillary" was outrageously wrong and twisted and unfair in every way along with demeaning to our Democracy to be loosely tossed around by a leading Presidential candidate - but it originated while she was under an active FBI investigation and for that reason might have resonated with those who held similarly twisted world views as held by Trump.

But "Sleazy" Schiff? That simply flies in the face or human perceptions. There is neither a shred of any factual basis nor of any temperamental characteristics in Schiff that support a "Sleazy " inference. Trump might have gotten away with falsely calling the Congressman something like "Partisan" Schiff, but "Sleazy" corresponds with Schiff about as well as "Humble" does with Trump.

Let Trump use it, it only makes himself look more crazed to do so.

[Kentonio]

20. It's straight out of the GOP playbook

It doesn't matter that it's nonsense, they attack someone on their strengths not their weaknesses, and by endless repetition associate that person with the lie. The sad part is it generally works.

[leftstreet]

22. Bullies love to nickname people

Maybe they think it shows their 'ownership' of the lesser, objectified person

But yeah, 'sleazy' was a really stupid one for him to choose

[smirkymonkey]

39. Trump is in no position to call ANYONE sleazy.

He is the definition of the world.

[oxbow]

48. It's called PROJECTION

Indeed, he is the sleaziest and most crooked of them all...

[The Wielding Truth]

63. Tell all Republicans that it is time to step in and make Trump leave office. He is too foolish.

[DK504]

24. Won't hold my breath waiting for the Rethugs

calling out the PINO to stop shit like this. Since they consider Titter a valid medium for the WH to use for "communication" thigns may never be the same.

[Docreed2003]

29. Just think how amazing it will be one day...

When we can all pass through the Trump Presidential Library with its own interactive room dedicated to Trumps social media posts...an inspiration for generations...it will be just as inspiring as hearing the words of Kennedy at his Boston Library.

(not that that was needed)

[Duppers]

49. "Trump Presidential Library"

That thought is disconcerting.
Yes, twitter feeds, porn films, and wet mattresses?

[Docreed2003]

50. Hey not just any "wet mattress"...THE wet mattress....

I bet Putin has it hermitically sealed along with the original tape somewhere in the Kremlin archives!

[MiddleClass]

60. Didn't the bankruptcy judge repossess that?

[zentrum]

33. Wow. Just wow.

Schiff 2020.

[Gothmog]

38. This is stupid even for trump

[BSdetect]

41. After their fake crap about Benghazi and what they put HRC through UNDER OATH

[Doug the Dem]

43. Even Better than His Namesake!

[geretogo]

44. Trump needs to be committed to a mental hospital for the criminally insane .

[Leith]

46. Schiff's Response Was Perfect

PINO's ridiculous nattering IS beneath dignity, not only of the office, but of anyone over the age of 12.

I'd say this one crossed the line, but it's just the latest in a long line of nonsense.

[LakeArenal]

47. He who laughs last.....nt

[pansypoo53219]

52. another case of why we need to go PEEWEE. I KNOW YOU ARE, WHAT AM I?

[sprinkleeninow]

53. I was just two minutes ago compelled to put a call into

Rep. Schiff's office and tell his staff how very much he is appreciated by this non-Californian. I said for him not to suffer offenses by the occupant of We the Peoples' White House with his ad hominem slurs because 'he's got NOTHING!'.
I said praises be to the Representative for being in our corner and for speaking out so boldly!
He is one in infinitesimal! 🤗💖

[trof]

54. He should wear that as a Badge of Honor.

[BigmanPigman]

55. Name calling like a 6 year old...

same mentality as his base.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

56. Yep. Which is exactly why they voted for him.

Intelligent, mature adults make them look bad.

[Plucketeer]

57. Warm Jello

has more fortitude than our reps - Schiff is an obvious exception. How many spoke up on Schiff's behalf? (dub in crickets sounds)

[ecstatic]

58. Disgust, disappointment, sadness, and concern for where this country is headed.

As Don Lemon asks every now and then, "Is this really happening?"

[Boomerproud]

59. Answer to Don Lemon's question.

Yes, it is really happening.

[Turbineguy]

61. Being called "sleazy" by trump

is my idea of a compliment!

[ElementaryPenguin]

62. LOL!

[Quanta]

66. He was trying to reference the Alex Jones rant without actually saying it.

This is really what they all want to say...

[orleans]

68. schiff is sleazy

trump says as he regales the boy scouts with lewd stories about friends with big boats and "interesting" lives (wink wink nudge nudge know-what-i-mean)
