TRUMP IMPEACHMENT

[MirahM]

I would need a toe ring, it's all the rage with supreme rulers today.

Can I paint your toe nails?

Holy crap why does that make me horny?

I know
Or
I don't know

Can I paint yours too?

[Maggot]

I really DO NOT want to be in ANY of BM's fantasy's and I'm wearing 3 pairs of socks now.

[BigMark]

I put the ornery in horny.

[Duchess]

It's fake

  You got me good.

[Maggot]

I don't bait very well. Sorry.

[Rootilda]

Strange, you look kind of like a beached grouper.

[Maggot]

I do have maggots crawling out of my eyes. it doesn't make me a bad person though.

[Rootilda]

And the ladies seem to like you.

[BigMark]

That's creepy.

[Duchess]

Another day of the fake trial, just puttin' in time while we wait for the fake acquittal. 

[Rootilda]

That's creepy.

You saved a photo of my armpit cyst, you have no moral high ground to stand on.

[Maggot]

Another day of the fake trial, just puttin' in time while we wait for the fake acquittal. 

I agree its a fake trial but its a real acquittal.

[BigMark]

No no no, it was a real zit.

[Duchess]

I agree its a fake trial but its a real acquittal.

  Nope. You don't get to have it both ways, republican man. 

[Duchess]

Maggot thinks a fake trial is going to produce a genuine acquittal. I can't get over that logic.

[BigMark]

You put the ake in fake.

[Duchess]

[Rootilda]

Shouldn't that be "ache"?

Did Alan Dershowitz really argue that a presidential quid pro quo aimed at helping one's reelection is not impeachable? Surely I misunderstood.

 
You did not misunderstand.  Dershowitz claimed that as long as the President believes his re-election to be good for the country, the President's abuse of power with regards to re-election is not impeachable.

It's bullshit, of course, in my opinion (and the opinions of all the real constitutional scholars).  Dershowitz's attempt to excuse such abuse of power based on the President's supposed intent is not consistent with the founding fathers' intent.  If it were, there would be no impeachment article in the Constitution and every abuse of power would be easily brushed aside with no remedy.

Anyway, I've seen/heard some pundits state that Dershowitz's claims are so ridiculous that none of the Republican senators will attempt to use them as justification/cover when voting to acquit.  I disagree with the latter -- I fully expect that several Republican senators will cite Dershowitz's claims as cover/justification when they vote to acquit Trump. 

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

[BigMark]

Fache news.
