All this because Trump asked for AN INVESTIGATION.

Not a verdict, not a result, AN INVESTIGATION ... like the Mueller investigation.

Why are dems so afraid of someone looking into the Bidens in the Ukraine, just to make sure nothing untoward was going on? If everything was above board, what's the problem?

The insane never-Trumpers will be driven even more insane in the wash/rinse/spin/repeat/ cycle they mistake for reality.

That reads to me like it is illegal for American politicians to accept bribes. I can't imagine how you might look at something of non-monetary value. So I suppose that might include Hillary soliciting funds from Saudi Arabia, but not include Obama soliciting help in "investigating" Trump. And where does that place Burisma providing a nice cozy sinecure for the son the the VP?

Why can't you just accept that Dems are just as dirty as the GOP, and probably dirtier than Trump?

Not that the following story will change your mind, but I do have many decades of experience with many, many Trump voters and I have come to conclusions about them, conclusions they would feel are unfair if they knew. On with the story (where you substitute the word "GOP" for cult and "Trump" for UFO. You will get the idea as you read):

When you're evaluating persuasive arguments about something strange, there are two perspectives you can choose, the inside one or the outside one.

Say that some people show up at your front door one day wearing funny robes, asking you if you will join their movement. They believe that a UFO is going to visit Earth two years from now, and it is our task to prepare humanity for the Great Upbeaming.

The inside view requires you to engage with these arguments on their merits. You ask your visitors how they learned about the UFO, why they think it's coming to get us—all the normal questions a skeptic would ask in this situation.

Imagine you talk to them for an hour, and come away utterly persuaded. They make an ironclad case that the UFO is coming, that humanity needs to be prepared, and you have never believed something as hard in your life as you now believe in the importance of preparing humanity for this great event.

But the outside view tells you something different. These people are wearing funny robes and beads, they live in a remote compound, and they speak in unison in a really creepy way. Even though their arguments are irrefutable, everything in your experience tells you you're dealing with a cult.

Of course, they have a brilliant argument for why you should ignore those instincts, but that's the inside view talking.

The outside view doesn't care about content, it sees the form and the context, and it doesn't look good.

1. My 600 lb life. (TV show)
2. Donald Trump.
3. Texas Republicans.
4. Ruining people's lives because of their political beliefs.
5. Talking about how much money he has
6. Republicans in general

Summarized so people don't have to tediously read SECOND's trolling.

He knows "WAY" more?
Better not tell him he's gonna have the shittiest retirement on Earth, CC.
He knows "WAAAY" more, dude. With those credentials you might be in real trouble...




Don't you lose any sleep over me, Nilbog.

I'm going to be just fine. I could easily live off of the SS payments at 62 for the rest of my life when that time comes even if I didn't work another day in my life to add to it, not to mention my house will be paid for, I have zero debt to anybody, money in the bank and I don't have any kids to put through college.


And I don't spend my days buying a bunch of shit I don't need like everybody else either.

Yup. I'll be good. My niece is going to have quite a gift waiting for her when I'm gone too. Probably won't be early enough to pay for her college before she's ready, but maybe she'll be able to pay off the debts after the fact.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

LOL. You forgot to add that other people should quit calling names, yanno, because you never ever do, right??

You ever notice you guys get really especially mad when I suggest your stories don't add up or that you aren't who you say you are??

Like I said....WHAT REAL PERSON WOULD GIVE A SHIT???

Sometimes I think you really ARE a couple bots programmed by Haken just to keep this place arguing. Only a bot would argue that they aren't a bot.

Everyone else would just say "WHATEVER".

You both know "who you are" means NOTHING here, right?

Faux Virtue Signalling. This is what a pile of ego crap looks like.

You don't buy things because you ain't got the dough to spare, and kids or no, you most likely never will.

Maybe suck up to Kikibot, and she'll leave you some of her piles of gold??

Nope, Nilbog.

I didn't buy anything when I was making $60k a year either.

I reject your lifestyle of obesity and unbridled consumerism. You've already burned twice as much money as a relatively young adult on bullshit than I'll need to live for the rest of my life.

Enjoy being a wage slave for the rest of your life.

In the mean time, I've had a great summer.



P.S. You have no idea what virtue signalling is either.

You would have been warmer if you said I was bragging, but it's not bragging if it's true.

Later is here: A Trump loving employee was leaving work. I asked him to open the box in the back of his pickup. He responded, "My taxes are under audit. I can't open the box until the audit is complete." I ripped open the box and I hurt myself doing it because I am Not The Incredible Hulk. There were my power tools in the Trump lover's box.

Congress should rip open Trump's tax returns to see if there are any stolen power tools inside. Endlessly asking politely for Trump's income tax returns, which he promised many times to make public, will never get the returns. I would bet my life and company that there is evidence of millions of dollars of theft in the documents Trump promised to make public.
