Essay Question: Why?


Mike Pence isn't as big a challenge in an election for Democrats. Trump doesn't play by the rules of the swamp. He's much more feared than establishment Republicans. And look what we're talking about now? This helps to distract and obstruct the President/fly over state voters agenda. Impeachment will help Democrats with their hard left base. But I don't think it's going to help in the fly over states. I'm not sure it really changes anything ultimately. It's just going to come down to demographics and the electoral college map. But yeah, old blue collar white men aren't going to come down out of the woods for someone like Kasich the way they turned out for Trump in the areas where Republicans needed him the most. If you can't beat him, impeach him. Your base certainly won't mind and rural America and the rust belt already aren't going to vote for you anyway.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Please explain what you mean. What are the "rules of the swamp" Donald Trump isn't playing by? List them.

One example of a political correctness rule is that a white man cannot use the word lynching to describe a case where he is tried without due process. I don't even think many Americans understand that the term lynching didn't even begin with African Americans being hung without due process or a trial in the south. It actually started in the Revolutionary War with Charles Lynch and his extrajudicial imprisonment of Tories. When Trump used the word lynching, it sent the swam into a spin. Oh he can't use that term, that's against the rules. You can only use that word for white men hanging a negro without due process. Of course Biden used the word lynch to describe Clinton's impeachment, but I believed he apologized recently some 22 years later

You can't talk about American exceptionalism. You can't put American citizens interest first.

The president can't put out tweets.

These are just a couple rules of the swamp that Trump doesn't follow.

So, the President's electoral super-power is his willingness to say that he's being lynched. That is what makes him electable. Ok then.

Help me out here. Explain to me how impeachment due process works. Heck, explain to me how due process in general works in a way that clarifies how Trump's is being violated.

Wait. Don’t forget, he uses Twitter, too. Past Presidents haven’t been allowed to use Twitter as the Deep State prevented them from doing so. That, and Twitter was introduced in mid-2006, which leaves only Obama and Dubya’s last two years as being Twitter-enabled, but because Trump defies the since-2006 Twitter ban with adderall-enabled ALLCAPS twitfits at midnight every night, he totally should be re-elected. MAGA!!1!

We should put all Trump supporters on an island; let them have their own country. The antisocial assholes will all be dead in 10 years and good riddance.

It's a fine plan.

I’m sorry. We’ve been unable to locate an island covered in kitsch and faux-gold foil everywhere, and surrounded with a giant-arse ‘wall’ that can be cut through with common hand tools. This plan is on hold indefinitely.

When you heard the word lynching, did it make your heart go pitter-patter? :wink:

If the paramilitary groups like Oath Keepers start firing shots, will Trump order the troops to stand down?

They can go live on the Great Pacific garbage patch. It's where they belong, really. They already live in a world full of crap.

Using force to expel your political rivals... how tolerant and progressive and not at all fascist. Pic related.
