Acquitted but still impeached ... Trump thread 99

[TheClaws]

I’ll tell you a funny story. I’m a member of a very right-wing US politics online discussion group for kicks. The moderator of the group controls - and gets involved in - every discussion. (I should say the membership of this group is over 50K and the number of posts a day is generally 30 or so.) She’s also a typical Trumpian in that she reels off the standard “lamestream mass media” etc lines” and she mutes anyone who disagrees with her.

Anyway, I took her on eventually. She said that the Democratic candidates wanted to get rid of the Constitution. To this, I replied Trump flouts the Constitution on a regular basis. “What? Provide examples!” she replies. “Emoluments clause,” I replied. “That’s just one.”

GUYS. SHE HAD NOT HEARD OF THE EMOLUMENTS CLAUSE.

She then just spat something about she doesn’t read mass media lies and that’s why she didn’t know and muted me.

AIBU?

So, 5 GOP Congressmen have been in contact with the person at CPAC who tested positive for covid-19.

And even better (cut and pasted from a looonngg string of live updates on the CNN website) is this:

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, who says he was told he came into contact with someone who is infected with coronavirus at the Conservative Political Action Conference, spent the weekend with President Trump at his resort in Mar-a-Lago, according to two sources familiar.

Gaetz also spent Saturday evening as the president's guest at an intimate dinner with Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro.

On Monday, Gaetz also rode in the presidential limousine in Orlando with Trump. The men were seen sitting just feet from each other chatting in the presidential vehicle.

They both exited the presidential vehicle and boarded Air Force One on Monday for the flight back to Andrews Air Force Base. It was aboard that flight that Gaetz "was informed today by CPAC while he was mid-flight on Air Force One that he had come in contact with the infected attendee,” according to his office. “Once he landed, he then was immediately tested” for the coronavirus.

Another White House official says once Gaetz was informed, he sat in a section of Air Force One by himself as a precaution.

Scrotus (a known germaphobe) must be freakin' and peakin'.

Atta boy Matt🤞🥰👍

Matt Gaetz who wore a gas mask on the House floor at the vote on the Covid 19 funding bill?

If Trump, Pence and Pelosi get it, she's more likely to survive it.

North Korea reminds everyone that they’re still here and still have missiles.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.

Trump really shouldn't be on Twitter with his attitude during this crisis.
He is no help what so ever.

Same old.

This will be appealed - yet again. But it's keeping up the pressure.

Democrats should get Mueller evidence, judges rule
It's a notable win for House Democrats seeking to obtain more information from the Russia probe.

Good and good.

'Joe Biden secured a key victory in the Democratic presidential nomination race on Tuesday by winning the vital state of Michigan and delivering a major blow to his rival, the Vermont senator Bernie Sanders.

The former vice-president also notched projected wins in the primaries in Mississippi, Missouri and Idaho, leaving Washington and North Dakota still to declare.'

At this point I really wish Sanders would withdraw and start to campaign for Biden; if he fights to the last and then loses, and if his supporters sulk about it as they did in 2016 and refuse to vote for anyone else, he may yet give the Presidency to Trump for a second term.

He is tenacious.

I see Jill Stein keeps popping up again.

Trump is nicknamed Nero in the Portuguese press regarding his attitude towards the coronavirus fire.

@lionheart Jill Stein doesn't have a chance and never has. She isn't even on the ballot for most states. Its going tol come down to Bilden and Trump and Biden won't win.

@TheClaws Qhy are you so worried about North Korea when earlier this week you guys had Russian fighters trying to get into your airspace and had to be chased away. 4 days later the US and Canadian fighter jets were chasing Russian fighters away from Alaska. But thats ok. They just decided to buzz the Shetland Islands. So whats the worry about North Korea

Now a pandemic...

Creating a 'perfect storm'.

And you know this for a fact how exactly?

And you know this for a fact how exactly?

Good ol' Fox news

I realise that, Leaannb. My point was that she has popped up to muddy the waters again.

I don't have your crystal ball with regard to Biden though.
