George Zimmerman is now suing the family of Trayvon Martin, their attorney, and the prosecutors that tried his case, claiming he was defamed. Unbelievable that the person who kills someone — whether found guilty or not — finds himself to be the victim, and wants to be compensated for it. Get a job, like everyone else!!
A lot of us thought that eventually the evidence against Donald Trump would be so obvious and so conclusive that not even his most loyal congressional devotees would be able to ignore it. A sense of duty and love of country would finally prevail. Boy, were we naive. We woefully underestimated Republicans’ capacity for brazen disregard of their constitutional responsibilities, and their willingness to cravenly sacrifice national security to the interests of the Republican party. It makes their “Country First” motto sickeningly ironic.
Rudy Giuliani is in Europe this week interviewing several former Ukrainian prosecutors trying to undermine the House impeachment inquiry. Does Giuliani know how much trouble he is in? Maybe Rudy is working hard to get to prison. Did he really once prosecute cases? He seriously is a full-time hand grenade now.
The real problem is not Trump. It’s the Republicans that are letting him ruin this country with his actions.
If we are all illiterate, how would we know you wrote in Quickly? Maybe you don’t know the meaning of the word. Do you also have a third grade mentality?
I’d like to thank Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler and the rest of the Democratic Congressional clown car for cementing the re-election of President Trump. I can’t wait to see the Senate Republicans make them testify under oath.
Trump was fined millions for running a fake university. He also defrauded his veterans charity and neither him or his family can be involved in charities for 20 years. Did you really expect him not to be impeached? Did you think New Yorkers knew him as Don the Con for no reason?
At the NATO conference, Trump looked and acted more like a mafia crime boss than president of the United States. But then he doesn’t deny that he finds it sooo boring to be presidential. Much more fun (and far more natural) to strut and glower and scowl like the head of a crime syndicate.
Only Trump can criticize people for the same things that he routinely does, and think that they are wrong, while he is perfectly fine for doing.
Fox News is all over the place trying to defend Rep. Devin Nunes and the recently released evidence of calls with Lev Parnas. They are now saying that maybe someone else used his personal cell phone, or that he has a right to talk to anybody. Sure thing, wait until Parnas has a chance to testify.
Paying customers are not your best friends. They are not coming into a place of business to be your sounding board about your personal problems. If you are so overwhelmed with issues, go and see a therapist, do not talk to customers about it, that is so unprofessional.
Jonathan Turley, the GOP legal witness at Wednesday’s hearing, was absolutely certain back in 1998 that Bill Clinton deserved to be impeached and removed from office for sexual misconduct, but he doesn’t think Trump deserves the same treatment for conduct that violates the constitution and has endangered national security. Oh, and Clinton didn’t order his staff to refuse to cooperate with congressional investigators the way Trump has done. Very strange.
Trump has been a despicable president. Evidence shows he is worthy of impeachment. If you think he is terrible now, just wait and see what he will do when complacent Senate Republicans don’t convict him. Your democracy will no longer exist.
Do you want people to judge America because of the way Trump acts? The man has dragged us down to becoming the laughing stock of the world.
The GOP is in desperate mode. A bunch of old rich white guys trying to hold on to power at the expense of our Constitution. They keep the uninformed sheep focused on minorities and fear and hate, as a ruse while they destroy our nation, out of greed and lust for power.
