I find it strange that the media has been able to brand EVERY political scandal since Watergate with a "Gate" monicker, but they have yet to brand this one.
Maybe they are still in the shit covering business for Donnie Short Fingers.
I thought we could help.
I have a few suggestions...
Ukraine-Gate - too obvious
Rudy-Gate
Shakedown-Gate
Traitor-Gate
MAGA-Gate
Any DUers have suggestions?

In 5 or 10 years trump will be known as the worst ever and will have its own
word, we just have to come up with it.
Enough of "gate"s

(17,197 posts)The -gate suffix. It was a device that served its purpose for four decades but has been well and truly surpassed.
Wait until the investigations and hearings are over and the articles of impeachment drafted. A new and more powerful tag will emerge.

Simple and rolls off the tongue.
No more gates. This has long eclipsed Watergate.

The Orange Revolution (Ukrainian: Помаранчева революція, Pomarancheva revolyutsiya) was a series of protests and political events that took place in Ukraine from late November 2004 to January 2005, in the immediate aftermath of the run-off vote of the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, which was claimed to be marred by massive corruption, voter intimidation and electoral fraud.
