Impeaching Trump: Make America Sane Again

Originally posted by creekster View PostFunk is demonstrating what I think is the actual long term negative effect of the trump tenure as president. Trump engenders such disgust that people can no longer distinguish between reasoned disagreements and disgusting people. There can be no question that Pence will say and seek to do many things that will upset the left. But he is not a disgusting and vile person. Before Trump, Biden could say Pence is a decent guy and no one would bat an eye. But now everyone is so worked up over everything, so immersed in chaos as the new normal, that they are unable to make that distinction; anyone who disagrees should be shamed, shouted at, ridiculed and treated like, well, like Trump. The long slide of american public discourse from dignity to indecency is seemingly complete.
But Trump is an evil, disgusting person who is absurdly incompetent for his office on top of that. Forcibly separate young children from parents at the border for the "horrible" act of trying to enter the US in search of a better life? Reverse your previous statement and absolve the dictator of N. Korea of culpability for the horrible torture that led to a young American college student's life just because at the present it seems more politically convenient for you to stay in Kim's good graces because you need a personal foreign policy success? Sorry, that's evil.Last edited by BlueK; 03-01-2019, 12:57 PM.

Originally posted by MartyFunkhouser View PostI agree Trump is an evil person. He is a horrible president. With the things that Pence has supported, I think he is also an evil person. Conversion therapy, the HIV epidemic in Indiana that he was slow to act on, the Syrian ban in Indiana, signing laws and supporting employment discrimination against homosexuals, etc. If Pence just was saying homosexual it is a sin and opposing gay marriage, I wouldn't call him an evil person. I'd disagree with him of course. Pence's record on LGBTQ issues is inconsistent with him being a decent guy.

Do you feel that he has done anything that has been good for America?
He’s been a great organizer for Democrats, a great fundraiser for Democrats and a great mobilizer at the grass-roots level for Democrats. [Laughs.] And I think that’s good for America.

Look, I think we need to entertain the very real possibility that Pelosi is working for Putin now.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay

Originally posted by Walter Sobchak View PostI guess they could impeach him for lying to Congress about having sex with an intern, but pretty sure that's not the red meat that Maddow, frank, BlueK, et al are looking for.

I think Pelosi's strategy makes a lot of sense.
And it doesn't change the fact that Trump is garbage.Last edited by BlueK; 03-11-2019, 08:44 PM.
