He is a professional brand-maker. He has been selling his image his whole adult life. He knows how to work crowds. Much of his net worth is the value of his brand (his name). |

It goes way back. I guess they believe it all. Incredible. How naïve do you have to be, to believe that level of BS from this man? _ _ _ You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

The level BS from this man? Gee, it as if we have not seen an escalating level of BS from politicians over the years. He may be an example to the extreme side of it, but you won't be rid of BS if you get rid of him. We have a whole clown show in Congress that exudes BS at every turn. We have judges that decide cases not based on the Constitution but based on their beliefs (which is why many decisions get overturned). Politics is a clown show and maybe it has been for a long time. Getting rid of Bad Orange Man will just bring us another clown with a different makeup artist. Nancy Pelosi told us that impeachment was a solemn and serious thing. Then she goes on the Bill Mahrer show and laughs about it. She's second in line to be President behind Pence. I wish all politicians, including the President, had more regard for the truth and facts. The people have the ability to decide in November whether they want four more years of a guy who is a lot of bluster, has truth issues, and has also led the country to a lot of successes or if they want to give someone else a spin. The Democrats are so convinced that they will have trouble beating him that they took a shortcut to impeachment to see if they could get him that way. If they really had a good, solid case, they could use all their efforts to keep the House, win the Senate, and take the Presidency. Instead they have a guy who has done little in the Senate, a bad mayor, a fake Indian, another guy who has a Ukraine problem and a son who just keeps getting great jobs with no qualifications, a Billionaire who I am sure is perfect, and some other folks running for President. After typing that, I see why they felt the need to impeach. |

Yep, even though Alan Dershowitz is a Dem, he's one of the few Dems who has honor & integrity. (I am another registered Dem who has honor & integrity. Me and Dershowitz are few and far between)
The libbies don't even know how ridiculous they sound lol. On the one hand, Trump is dumber than dirt and can barely tie his shoelaces. But on the other hand, he's so so so smart and uses his brilliant mind to concoct ingenious schemes! Ah, those libbies.... 🤣🤣🤣 |

No it's not, none of it is. This has always been a thorn in Trump's side. When Forbe's says his net worth is say, $5 billion, Trump will say it's double that because Forbes's never includes the value of his brand. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | McConnell has inserted a kill switch rule into the trial. Any time Trump's legal team feels they are being played by the Dems, they can demand a vote to end the trial right there. 51 votes and it's over. If the Dems try and pull any of that crap they pulled in the House, the trial is done. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

So... why not just hit the kill switch now? Because they don’t have the 51 votes. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18632 | Ken Starr and Dershowitz are both contradicting what they said during the Clinton trial. Dershowitz said you don't need a crime, and Starr said you can't have a trial without witnesses. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

If this is true, they are certainly not the first in the line of people involved in the Clinton impeachment changing their tune. People do evolve over time in their beliefs and the way they interpret things; the hardest part is determining which are real "conversions" and which are "political considerations." |
