Yeah. They already look pretty defeated. I guess they thought they'd be able to sell this load of bullshit to the masses. It's an epic fail.

Yeah, it has me in a bit of a reflective mood in that I don't think they've ever faced this kind of push back, ever... I remember when I was a Republican how bitterly frustrated I was with Bush just taking it on the chin day after day. By contrast, Trump just cracks me up. He makes me laugh.

late, Steve_American, Drlee, jimjam, et. al. are the boomers on this board. They almost universally hate Trump. It's GenXers here that like Trump.

Yeah, and Pelosi had to cave hours later on USMCA as Trump was killing her with it on the campaign trail.

Separation of powers... you need the courts to adjudicate whether resisting a subpoena is allowed.

Well, it seems to be the Democrats who are ignoring it, since they aren't charging Trump with treason or extortion. Investigating Biden isn't an abuse of power. It's literally upholding his oath of office.

I'm not a Republican. I do think Putin knows how to play a weak hand better than most politicians out there. He has been impressive in that way. Russia and the United States have diplomatic relations. Legally speaking, we're not enemy states.
Politics_Observer wrote:Since when did the Republicans start admiring the bad guys like Putin?
I'm not sure they ever did. They just don't have quite the sudden belief in his omnipotence that the left seems to have developed following Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump. Obama used to dismiss Putin regularly, calling him the bored kid in the back of the class, acting tough, etc.
Politics_Observer wrote:Republicans seem to want to simply wipe away our republic in favor of installing Trump as the first corrupt dictator of the US.
Abraham Lincoln already won that prize, followed by Reconstruction Era Republicans, followed by Woodrow Wilson and FDR. The Republic has effectively been wiped away. We have an elected Senate that represents people rather than the several states, women have the right to vote, we have a fiat currency and we have a graduated income tax. This is definitely not what the founding fathers envisioned. Fuck! We have gay marriage for godsake!

Did you miss the Obama administration's mass abuse of the IRS, BATF, DEA, FBI, OSHA, etc.? Or getting overturned by unanimous decisions of SCOTUS more than any other president?

Uh... nearly 20% of the Mexican population lives here illegally. Remember, nobody is above the law! Nobody! (except Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, about 20M illegal aliens, and people who want to shoot up heroin while urinating and defecating in public)
