    This is basically the entire subreddit, 24/7. The "how dare you sir" libs are like the severed head of an animal reliving the last few seconds of the fight that killed it. Now I've got him! Now I've got him! The last four years of these these articles are just the repetitive, spasming nerve signals being sent to an absent body politic.

      The “how dare you sir” libs are like the severed head of an animal reliving the last few seconds of the fight that killed it.

      Some years ago, I witnessed a deer galloping by the road and mindlessly turn headfirst into traffic, getting struck by a car. Myself and another onlooker stopped by the side of the road and stood helplessly as it was in its death throes, and eventually, nothing. A cop stopped by, threw me some gloves, and asked if I would mind helping her move the carcass off the road. As soon as we touched it, the deer burst to life, air galloped on its side for a split-second, and finally croaked. It was a pretty scarring experience.

      In a morbid way, reading this made me laugh and feel better.

              Middle finger out the window as you burnout down the road.

            cops who have their hands full of dying animals aren't shooting children. I unironically endorse this.

    Maybe they should impeach him! That will show him and his base that our institutions aren’t worthless.

        I remembered they impeached him....but its a fucking testament to how fucking terrible the Democrats are I legit had to take a moment to remind myself "....what was that over again???"

        LOL....transparently corrupt and criminal to a comical degree and they can't even play it right to in fucking media.

      i actually get this weird, semi-physical stomach churning sickness when i read the same regurgitated replies and psuedo "puns". just thinking about it right now brings that feeling back. yet every now and then at work i sneak a peak almost like i'm doing it just to keep from being hungry all day.

      It was so bad in the run up to 2016. The day that Hillary lost, it was like fresh fucking air. The shock of Trump's win forcing libs to stay offline a couple days to deal with that and the end of whatever astroturfing campaign - from Clinton's camp and Trump's camp - made it usable for about 5 days.

      I've used RES to block any post with the word "Trump" or "Biden" in the title, it makes Reddit a lot better and r/politics easier to get actual news from.

    WaPo gives Trump 1 billion Pinocchios, how will he recover from that!?

      There's nothing in the rules that says a DANG CHEETO can't be in the White House! Did no one watch Air Bud 6: Air Force Bud?

    Imagine clinging to this shit four years into his term and after one failed impeachment (over some bullshit because the dems were pissed he went after their senile candidate’s kid).

    It’s still mueller time baby!!

    Let September 9, Year of Our Lord 2020, be heralded as the day that Donald John Trump, President of These United States, was shockingly exposed as a liar.

    “Remember the high crimes and misdemeanors debate?” Litman wrote. “This is clearly an impeachable offense, albeit not a crime. The POTUS lied to the American people for political purposes & easily tens of thousands deaths ensued. How more stark and harmful a dereliction of public duty can you get?”

    Yea, nothings going to come from this.

      It takes literally two seconds to learn that "high crimes" does not mean "crimes, but worse", but instead "abuse of station/dereliction of duty". There's no debate, this is just what words mean. Yet these galaxybrains always give the out "but it's not a crime (in the sense that you couldn't bring them to criminal court over it)". How can you be both a wonkbrained policy dork and a Trump-obsessed lib while failing to recognize that this is a meaningless distinction to draw?

        I think the people who would use the “not a crime” defense are not the people who want Trump impeached.

        It’s just what the Republicans and probably DOJ will cling to in order to excuse keeping Trump in office.
