you ever live through a timeframe and think "my god, this is like a goddamn movie. this is GOING to be a movie. I'm living through a crazy moment in time, and it's going to be weird as funk to watch the movie about it later on". This seems to be the lead up to the climax! cant wait to see what happens

This is a HBO political satire/comedy series. lol

Bruh people thought Chernobyl was some shit? Wait till they get a load of this in 20 years. People will be watching this 5 season tranwreck and actually questioning how much of this shit is real....all of it buddy. Pornstars, Pee tapes, pussy grabbings, and breaking the law literally the day after you dodge a bullet in an ongoing investigation. No need to romanticize anything.

EDIT: Also this isnt in anyway trying to downplay the tragedy and loss of life at Chernobyl. I'm speaking strictly in terms of how absurd the dramatization of these events will seem.

Yes, Laura Ingraham looked to be quite upset by Giuliani protecting himself and implicating Pompeo and the State Department instead of sticking to the White House talking points...

Not as upset as others on Fox News at the mere mention of the White House talking points, though:


Can someone explain this to me? What are these talking points and why does the fox news guy flip the fuck out?

The white house tweeted out talking points, then attempted to recall them since it made their position even worse. If Fox News sticks to the predetermined talking points it makes it obvious they're just shilling for Trump and the illusion of them being unbiased is destroyed.

Yeah . . . the talking points are meant for the talking-head representatives that go onto those shows. Of course, Fox basically is one big talking head for Trump--but like BassForever says, Fox wants to hide this fact.

Earlier today the white house accidentally sent talking points on how to spin the Ukraine situation to Republicans... AND democrats, then tried to ask for them back. The panelists in the video seem to be upset because the guy maybe accuses them of using the same talking points.

Hahahahahahahaha

And I LOVE how the life is sucked out of Laura's eye sockets when Rudy pulls that stunt.
Beautiful.

I don't get why the press is so obsessed that this is fine as long as it wasn't a quid-pro-quo. It seems like the president using the power of the office to have anyone investigate political opponents is a scandal. Am I nuts or something?

In the unlikely scenario that Senate republicans actually convict Trump, Pence would be going down with him regardless. He doesn't need to rope Pence in. If Trump goes, they necessarily all go.

Why would Republican senators remove Pence? They can do whatever the hell they want, and there's no way they'll roll with a President Pelosi scenario of they decide to remove Trump.

It's nice to see them snapping at each other, but they'll soon calm down, find out what talking points work on their base, get in lockstep with Fox News, and fall back in line.

I would LOVE to be wrong, though. It would be amazing to see this thing spiral out of control and start producing criminal charges all over Trump's orbit, and have those charged lining up to spill the dirt.

Agreed. As much as I'd like to be optimistic about the outcome of this latest scandal, the last three years have really beaten any optimism out of me. This feels like at least the 10th occurrence of "This is it! It's over!" My only feeling is exhaustion at this point.

His wife hit's him every morning for looking too longingly at Aunt Jemima.

Pence reminds me of my ex's grandfather. Nutjob evangelical type who disguises his awfulness behind the veneer of 'enlightenment' and his wife made them get rid of cable and radio because she was concerned he enjoyed pop stars too much. The wife is a nice woman who was going through some mental health issues, though. Just funny to me at the time. Unfortunately for the granddad you can't pills-and-therapy being an asshole.

We had someone who was busted for running an international pedophile ring that might be link to at least one President of the United States die just before thing go on trial. Now 6 weeks later, barely anyone talks about it. I remember how HUGE this was supposed to be.

Please don't get your hopes up about a senate conviction. It's not going to happen. He could eat a baby live on camera and the republicans would start attacking the credibility and character of the baby. Republicans still in office now are not normal human beings, they lack the standard parts that most of us have.

Feel free to get your hopes up about winning in 2020, because I think there's a chance of it, but he's here until then at minimum.

Trump, I wanna hear the deaths knell on your presidency. Let's hope GOP say fuck it, Pence blames the president also and says everything was done at the 45th's behest.

By the way, great OP. Loved all the resources in the first page.

30 Republican Senators voting to convict Trump? I don't believe that. It reminds me of the 2016 electoral college where some people believed that Republicans would purposefully vote for a candidate other than Trump.
