The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: ORANGE Gettin' PEACHed, Nation Goes BANANAS

@NotBruceZ

I’d like to see Democrats asked at the next presidential debate if independence is the only way for the Kurds to be able to protect themselves.

Should of split up Iraq like Biden was arguing in 1996.

Impeachment is a political process. It’s impeachable if the United States House of Representatives says it’s impeachable. I think it is. I think it’s pretty easy to draft an Article of Impeachment that says he’s being impeached for betraying our own national security interests and risking the safety of our troops by allowing so many ISIS prisoners to predictably escape.

Then when the Senate fails to convict, you hang it around the GOP’s head that they voted in support of releasing ISIS prisoners. Let them try to make the argument about how it wasn’t impeachable even though they oppose it, then just hit them with it again, “I don’t know about all that, but it was pretty clear that you voted in support of Trump releasing ISIS prisoners.”

I think that impeachment ought to be limited to serious crimes and abuses of office. Otherwise you’ll get people crying impeachment every time a president makes an unpopular decision. A bad policy decision that the president is empowered to make shouldn’t be impeachable. The congress can pass a law trying to mitigate or overrule that decision or the people can vote the president out if they disagree with the decision strongly enough.

If it was just bad policy decision. I agree with you.

This is the president, making these decisions, based on what will happen to his bottom line of his hotels.

This is why the president needs to divest before taking office

So this decision, combined with emoluments, is impeachable.

Sure but Trump could have been impeached on emoluments in the first month of his administration. This changes nothing.

This. Plus, you have to have some evidence that this is related to his hotel in Turkey. It does underscore why divestiture needs to be mandatory (not that there aren’t a bajillion workarounds).

The stablest of geniuses.

Trump thought Turkey was bluffing and would never actually invade Syria,...

Trump is the idiot GM that other teams keep calling because they know eventually he will make an idiotic deal.

@NotBruceZ

I think he’s more stupid than treasonous on this particular bit. It’s not illegal to be a bad president, although I’d like to see Trump put in a room full of Kurds right now to see what happens.

Expletives and shoes would fly.

Now that Trump has this intelligence he will come down hard on the Saudis!

I don’t think this ends well for Trump. (From Aug. 29, 2019.)

I that’s giving Gaetz WAY WAY WAY too much credit. He’s a dingdong looking for headlines.

My fan theory is that he just doesn’t know what committees he’s on.

Non-zero chance he thinks Napoleon Bonaparte is still alive.

Also that sequence of tweets is batshit insane.

Let’s not pat them down first.

So now he’s fine with Russia fighting a Nato member. Cool. Cool.
