Impeachment has no criminal jeopardy attached. Bribery charges over ukraine.
Bolton said he briefed trump about the bounties in 2019. (my god, the examiner as a source) If he testifies, just need one more person to. Treason.
Cohen's sentencing docs mention that the person who directed the fraud scheme, "had won the presidency." Fraud and suborning perjury.
All of the obstruction charges related to mueller.
Taxes? The death penalty is on the table.
Uh...guys. Trump is literally calling out to the dead. This is a cry for help.
Archived link in case someone tells him and he tries deleting it.
Jesus christ this one reply had me rolling...

Formerly Howeller, lost my account.

Trump consumes intelligence verbally, says soothsayer McEnany.
I think she means orally.
Anyone looking for context, Tucker Carlson recently did a fake populist rant where he lambasts Republicans for focusing on scandals and symbolic victories rather than actually delivering good policy. To quote;
What y'all are witnessing here is the machinery of the right wing planning for the post-Trump era by getting down to brass tacks; good old fashioned white supremacy.Instead of improving the lives of their voters, the party feeds them a steady diet of mindless symbolic victories.. Who cares how many Benghazi hearings we have? How did Peter Strzok’s text messages become more important than saving American jobs from foreign nationals...
Apropos of nothing here's that time Rutger Bregman called him out on being the piece of shit grifter he is.

That is what is being implied in Carlson's dog whistle, yes.
As Bregman pointed out - it's all grift by rich people to deflect from their looting of the country and the planet by pointing at brown people.

Not in the sense that they're trying to jettison Trump's toxicity and gin up enough white solidarity to peel away "moderates" by doing...exactly what they did with universal healthcare in the 70s, and that is associating progressive social and economic policies with radical minorities.
Trump, and I suspect even McConnell aren't interested in the long term. People like Carlson and Cotton, however, are.

Yeah, if McConnell didn't see it as a realistic option, we'd instead be hearing "let's make it any 30 Republicans voting 'yes' means it's veto-proof."
2) North Carolina is now a tossup. In 2020 Trump won by 4.
3) The guy who organizes Trump's rallies has been reassigned to "covfefe boy that Trump never met".
4) The father of a Marine slain in Afghanistan is joining the increasing call for answers.
5) A Colorado Rep was just defeated in the Republican primary.
6) And Abbott's Texas just went past Italy for most new cases in a day, as in "Texas got more than Italy ever did in a single day". Texas has half the population of Italy.
There is no good news for the GOP today. And the lifeboats left a while ago.
This one's a non-issue. Trump knew that Roger was dead.
From just over a month ago:
- - - Updated - - -.@FoxNews is no longer the same. We miss the great Roger Ailes. You have more anti-Trump people, by far, than ever before. Looking for a new outlet!
To be fair, Italy was only doing half the amount of testing, which as you pointed out, means that they were only doing one quarter of the amount of testing per capita. Italy's positivity was 25%, Texas' is "only" 16%.
Absurdly not great for Texas, still, but not quite comparable to Italy's worst.

All wrong... intelligence is a suppository. It enters Trump’s body, the same way Trump thinks light does, to cure covid. I’m keeping an eye on zippers, next time I see Trump. This is not human anatomy... I was already suspicious that Trump plays hearthstone on youtube, without his human mask.
