of the Al Green impeachment resolution.
A responsible media would also expose his lies re what was said by the four Democratic Congresswomen.
I have a theory that the Con rules by threat of blackmail.

(32,086 posts)The latter is what he's using on the media. He's threatening to cut off their access to him and the rest of his administration if they report anything negative about him. If he were blackmailing them, he'd be holding compromising information over their heads. Like he's doing to Lindsay Graham and others.

They should be rebelling against that right now.

(32,086 posts)Not that they'll ever get an answer. And, I agree. They should be rebelling. They are pathetic.

(111,106 posts)Most of them know there was an impeachment vote the other day. They heard it on FOX News. They know that "only" 95 Democrats voted for impeachment. Trump knows his people.
So Trump tells them there was nothing to impeach him for and even most Democrats voted not to impeach him.
Nobody discusses what the article of impeachment was for?

(269,118 posts)The key words were that the Con was not exonerated for obstruction of justice but M$Greedia played that down and went along with the Con's and Barr's lies.

(111,106 posts)..he is "unfit" for the office.
That's a pretty good start at getting rid of him, in my opinion.
and those numbers will climb big time this week

(56,828 posts)would have torn him to shreds when he came down the escalator in 2015 to announce that Mexico was sending drugs and rapists to the US and his campaign would have been over and we'd likely have had Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz vs Hillary
but the media is owned by his fellow billionaires

(8,419 posts)Andrea starter her show with the comments, she and her guests were spinning it into a positive for the motherfucker.
Read his tweet, played Miller clip, let some talking head ramble. It was five minutes in before any push back what so ever. And never a mention that he is flat out fucking lying about what the Squad had said.
Only comments that tRump has turned the issue into Dems being too far left.
