    Well, no, because he needs to go.

    He's made an absolute balls up of everything he's touched and anyone, absolutely anyone, of any political persuasion should see the necessity of Trump no longer being in power, no matter which party they support.

    Two business associates of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani have been arrested and are in custody
    By Washington Post Staff
    Oct. 10, 2019 at 9:52 a.m. EDT
    The two men, who helped Giuliani investigate former vice president Joe Biden, were charged with campaign finance violations, according to a person familiar with the charges.
    Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman have been under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan.
    This is a developing story. It will be updated.

    That's the other thing the Trumpites can't seem to wrap their head around.

    When a lot of the people you hang around with have been indicted, arrested or convicted... what does that say about your character and your judgment?

    That is probably really bad for giuliani considering trump cannot pardon them for convictions of state law. They are going to need an entire prison just for people who worked with trump.

    Dude - people are pushing for impeachment because to not do so would continue the weakening of the cornerstones of our government. The political calculus may be poor, but the right thing should be driven by the fact that it is the RIGHT THING TO DO.

    Not that Republicans know anything about doing the right thing.

    How fast can a rat swim away from a sinking ship? Coupla days ago you were predicting a Trump landslide. Yanno, constantly flipflopping doesn't make you credible.

    I took that as @oldfella1962's passive-aggressive way of saying he thinks Trump is a great president who can't lose in 2020 and the Dems agree.

    Exactly. He's the WF champion of Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc. Then he's surprised when he's wrong and blames it on libruls and teh Media.

    Fun to watch, though. :evilpop:

    Apparently the indictments weren't supposed to be unsealed right now, but law enforcement had to because the pair attempted to flee the US. Wonder who tipped them off?

    I’ve mentioned before how it’s a thing on the right to not talk to pollsters or to lie to them.
    This poll looks terrible until you realize that Fox oversampled Democrats by 14+ in the poll. It also severely undercounted independents.
    No wonder 51% popped up.

    you misinterpreted what I said. Trump will win, but that's not the point. I'm saying the Dems are going to fuck up the impeachment, and it will end up in epic fail implicating some of the people pushing for impeachment once the dust settles.

    Still time for all leftists and never-Trump rightwing to get their vote in and change views on Trump impeachment. 50,000 people voted online on twit.- 1 vote per person - and over 95% refute the claims of the "Fox poll" (which is notoriously crappy even among "professional" polls that practically all shit to begin with).

    No pollster said that.

    They said that there was a 90% chance of Hillary winning. Which means that there was a 10% chance of her losing. The Trump campaign was able to thread the needle so that they got in within that 10%

    The chance of you winning the Powerball is roughly 1 in 300 million. If you are the winner, do say that the odds were wrong because you won?
