Graham must've slept through that lecture, too.

Republicans are certainly showing the rest of the country that they're a bunch of thickheads.

Belief is all that's necessary to establish innocence.
It's the "perfect" defense.

Lindsey has been a narcissistic, fully committed flooded car salesman forever. I don't think the logical conclusion of his argument is conscious or intentional on his part.

Lindsay just told us DJT has mental illness.
Innocent by reason of insanity defense.

When the Senate fails to remove then Lindsay's words are evidence for 25th'ing him out.


Bahaha.

With friends like Lindsay who needs enemies?

for the movie "The Statement" actor Michael Caine describes the evil nature of the character he plays in the film, a Nazi war criminal hiding in France for generations.

"No man is a villain to himself."

So yeah, your own mind is not exactly a refutation of guilt.

The FACT that tRUMP is so incoherent to know right from wrong while breaking the law to not having a fucking clue what is wrong even when it is explained to him. And his cabinet has FAILED to do anything about the danger. The Democratic Party should be beating republicans and tRUMPanzees over the head with the fact that they have a stupid lunatic in the White House. Don't give any of the bastards an inch and immediately browbeat them into answering what they are going to do about their problem child, without letting them say anything else. Start mocking and laughing at the republican party's pathetic excuses and explanations. It is a mistake to treat any of them with honor as long as they are sticking up for him and they should be laughed at and ridiculed for being goofy fools propping up their king donnie.

Again Democratic Party, stop treating republicans with respect and mock the hell out of them for defending the imbecile. The rest of the country will quickly jump on board with it and tRUMP's bluster will only make him look worse. Those 'friends' on the other side of the aisle have no problem mocking you and stabbing you in the back every chance they get, so stop giving them the angle to play. The American People won't jump on the ridicule wagon if you are showering them with so much respect.

Trump has got something so damaging that Lindsey is willing to destroy his reputation to make Trump happen. What did Trump show you Lindsey at the golf course? Whatever it is, you could start to recover if you leave the darkside.

the REASON Trump thinks he "did nothing wrong" is HE HAS NEVER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE, EVER - fuck the BOTH of these two vile creatures

But he has perpetuated the biggest scam in American history.

He has known all his life he was a worthless POS, and he STILL KNOWS he is a worthless POS.

He has gotten away with it, thanks to big, bad New York State business/finance/tax officials. They allowed all of this to happen, now he feels damned entitled to it. But we are expected to believe that they will ride in and save the day now?

I don't think so. Nothing will ever come of all the NYS bluster. It will die a quiet death and the entire turd family will get off scot free, even though they have PROOF of Jarvanka's real estate frauds.

Sorry, still in my pessimism portion of the pendulum swing...
