Which is worse? Trump / Ukraine or Watergate?

Let me know if there is a better way I could describe each of these in simple terms. Is there any clear evidence of obstruction of justice this round or just lying about what happened?

Republican source to Erickson: whistleblower report is "credible" and significantly worse than the

Republican source to Erickson: whistleblower report is “credible” and significantly worse than the transcript released today

peaking on background to a Republican congressional source who has direct knowledge of the whistleblower report, he says it is really bad. He says the GOP can attack it as partisan because, in his words, “this is written by someone who does not like the President” but also that “regardless, the whistleblower is credible.”

According to the source, the report “paints a clear path to impeachment” with enough information that Democrats will be able to make appropriate document requests and subpoena witnesses for a focused effort.

“I wasn’t happy with the transcript, but it was Trump. What do you expect? Now we are dealing with something that looks like it could be outside the bounds of acceptable conduct.”

The source said he would not be definite, but it fully opens up a path for a thorough and focused impeachment process.

Does it seem like escaping Mueller made Trump think he could get away with anything?


I wonder if more law breaking is going to pop up between now and the election?

Out of curiosity who did you support in 16 Dem Primaries and who are you now supporting?


I supported Sander but then went wholeheartedly to Hillary against Trump voting for her a month early. Now supporting Warren.


Just want to see who the Sanders and Hillary folks moved to this year. Obviously many Sanders voters will still support him.

I have a fun idea how to make Trump's wall a laughing stock before the election

I was just watching a clip from Colbert where he jokes about Trump saying you can't climb the wall because of some anti climbing something or other but then Colbert jokes that Mexico has 30 foot ladders. https://www.facebook.com/colbertlateshow/videos/388438271845708/

The DNC or whoever could do a competition with teams seeing which teams can get over the walls / fences the fastest. They could have a variety of things at their disposal like ladders, ropes, shovels etc. It could be done with a lot of humor and they could flash price tags of how much was spent on the wall / fence from time to time. The final could have the two fastest teams up against one another.

I don't think the teams should have great athletes but regular folks.

Thoughts?

What is causing global warming?


The deniers have shifted from saying there is no global warming to saying it's just natural cycles. So fucking tired of the anti-science crap that is killing millions of people every year.

Liberty University Criticized After Unveiling Stained Glass Window Depicting Donald Trump

I believe a drone needs to accidently fly through this on a day that no one is there.




Remind anyone of this:




LYNCHBURG, VA—Liberty University has come under withering criticism after unveiling a Donald Trump stained glass window in the school's newly renovated Worley Prayer Chapel.

The window is featured prominently in the chapel, allowing students and faculty to pray to their lord and savior Donald Trump as they escape the pressures and worries of campus life for a few minutes.

"We wanted the renovated prayer chapel to really help students think about what's important: President Trump and His anointed agenda to make America great again," said school president Jerry Falwell, Jr. "It's important to remain focused and anchored. Now our students can take some time to reorient their hearts and spirits around Trump whenever they want."

Falwell encouraged those attending Liberty University to turn their eyes upon Trump, "and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glorious policies."
