MODERATORS
I wonder if this will go so deep it connects back to the Epstein files?
This scandal is going to run deeper than anybody thinks. The democrats say they won’t impeach Trump, but I’m certain this will accumulate into something so damning that their hand will be forced.

You can't force the hands of the controlled opposition
Schumer and Jefferies exist to protect the Republicans, not to oppose them
You do realize that the problem with impeaching and convicting Trump is not whether or not he's done anything illegal, but getting Republicans to participate?
They don't give a shit how illegal anything is, as long they can stay in charge and continue to fleece everyday people.
I am optimistic that there could be enough salty republicans that will do anything to distance them from trump. The lack of loyalty is one of the traits of some of those people
That's the only reason, to save their own skin knowing there is 2 years left. Congress is halted on anything, at least it fucking better be, save investigations and multiple impeachments.
Republicans are scared, and the only reason they would do anything is their own self interest.
Ironic their selfishness could be the thing that saves us from this monster.
God I hope so
If Epstein doesnt fuck Trump, nothing will.
My theory is that the main reason they fight so much against releasing these files is that besides billionaires there likely also judges, politicians and other people in power there.
The fact that after the election Republicans didn't start to think that maybe they should start to distance from the 80y senile old man that people are clearly against and instead decided to double down tells me that there must be either blackmail or bribes. It makes no other sense.
Treason
Yeah, but he's been treasonous for a while. January 6th was treason.
Yup, anti-democrat ads saying "Marcy Kaptur owns stocks while voting on policy, she doesn't deserve to be in politics" meanwhile they're perfectly cool with a pedo making billions by being as corrupt as he claims the Biden family to be
I would say "that's a violation of the emoluments clause", but he's been violating that since his first term.
Pretty fucking obvious that America is For Sale right now. Not just that, there's an active sabotage operation going on. Absolutely no surprise that the "tough on China" shtick was always a total facade as well.
dude can't go to bed at night if didn't do some corruption/treason during the day
Same shit different day and no body will be brought to justice.
