"Give me a break."

BrooklynDad_Defiant!

Here's what KILLS me:

A Black man needs to overperform, with Harvard credentials, experience in gov't, speak PERFECTLY, and be scandal-free to be Presidential.


A rich, racist, traitorous White conman reads from a TelePromTer, and suddenly he's presidential.

Give me a break.

RIP irony

Hannity’s No Longer A Fan Of ‘Lock Her Up’ Now That Pelosi’s The One Chanting It

Sean Hannity on Fox tonight, without any hint of irony: "Based on no actual crimes, [Pelosi] wants a political opponent locked up in prison. Umm, that happens in banana republics. Beyond despicable behavior."

Speaking to Fox News from American cemetery at Normandy, the Draft Dodger calls America hero a fool

Speaking to Fox News from the American cemetery at Normandy, the President calls special counsel Robert Mueller a "fool" and the Speaker of the House a "disaster."

Speaking to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham just before a ceremony commemorating the storied invasion, Trump asserted that Mueller made “a fool out of himself” in his public comments last week on the Russia investigation and called Pelosi a “disaster” over her handling of a possible impeachment inquiry.

“Let me tell you, he made such a fool out of himself,” Trump said of Mueller, a former longtime FBI director and Marine Corps veteran who earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart in the Vietnam War. Trump, who did not serve in the war, called the conflict “terrible” the previous day.


The president criticized Mueller on Thursday for saying that he could not consider charging Trump with a crime because of long-standing Justice Department (DOJ) policy stating that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

“Because what people don’t report is the letter he had to do to straighten out his testimony because his testimony was wrong,” Trump said.

The New York Times has helpfully published proposed Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump

The Articles of Impeachment Against Donald J. Trump: A Draft
By Ian Prasad Philbrick
Mr. Philbrick is on the editorial staff of the Opinion section.
JUNE 5, 2019


ARTICLES 1, 2, 3


What might impeachment articles against Mr. Trump look like? To find out, we reviewed the articles of impeachment drawn up against Richard Nixon in 1974 and Bill Clinton in 1998. Then we edited them — by removing and adding passages — to match the president’s conduct as described in the Mueller report and elsewhere.
