#ImpeachMittRomney

Post by _moksha »

Russian hackers had to move fast with the Impeach Mitt Romney thing after Trump tweeted it. Those Russian hackers did not disappoint our aberrant President. They share the common goal of inflicting damage on America and have absolutely no scruples about disseminating lies.

This will have a chilling effect on other Congressional Republicans. These Republicans do not want to be on the receiving end of Trump's Russian hackers.

It is unknown whether Trump and his staff would make a call to Kolob to get the goods on Mitt.

One of the many, many clues that Republican voters are dumb as a sack of doorknobs is that they don't seem to notice how everyone who speaks up against Trump is suddenly bad, when they weren't the day before.

Christ Republicans are stupid. It's truly incredible just how damned dumb these people are.

It has become quite clear that honesty is a black mark on your name if you belong to the GOP. The base doesn't like that. They want to be lied to and told how great they are as they're bent over getting raped up the ass.

It seems like reaction among those who support impeaching Trump is mixed to Romney's comments. On the one hand, Romney has a track record of giving scolding, ineffectual statements towards Trump while taking no concrete action available to him to oppose Trump. This is in the broader context of handful of Republicans offering statements of concern and nothing else when a particularly bad Trump scandal breaks, as it often does. People are frustrated with this and attack Romney for offering empty words while there are politicians who are actually moving the ball forward.

On the other hand, there are those who praise Romney for behaving unlike the vast majority of other elected Republicans and signaling he's open to impeachment while rejecting the talking points / disinformation being spouted by many of his colleagues. That takes a measure of courage and principle and deserves praise.

I lean towards the latter on this one. Good for Romney. Maybe Mormons will get their white horse prophecy after all. :p.

Lol. Apparently Trump called for Romney to be "impeached?"

Cool. I love how attacking his opponents with that which is applicable to him is one of like 3 moves he's got in defending himself. Add in juvenile name-calling and total denial and that's the Trump playbook. Every damn time.

Trump needs to go after Romney's weird religion. Start a nickname using his religion as pejorative, like "Mitt the Mormon" or "Mormon Mitt". Let's all offer this suggestion on his Twitter account.

It's commonly known as the "I'm rubber, you're glue" defense. It's his most complex move.

There is always the chance that Rick Perry told him to attack Mitt.

A few reports out there suggesting Romney is going to try to rally Republicans in the Senate to vote Trump out. If true. Good luck with that Mitt. I mean that both sincerely and sarcastically.

It'd be a hell of an accomplishment deserving of a statue somewhere if he did, though there's reason to be skeptical on several levels with that story.

He's done it to me too. I agree with a lot of Shades' decisions, but this one is asinine.
