Reminder of what we missed.
Still no evidence Trump ever colluded much less sold out the country like clinton.
Dodged a bullet.

You Poor Sad Sad People.
Even Schiff has Shifted course and the new narrative is Trump's finances. The Russia hoax backfired. So now they desperately need a process crime against Trump before all your Commie Heroes go to pound me in the ass prison.

Last summer, somebody asked on Quora “Why do many British people not like Donald Trump“. They got back 43 answers. Here’s one of them:
A few things spring to mind.
Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.
For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.
Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.
And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.
Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.
He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.
He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.
That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a bully’s snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
1. Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
2. You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.
He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.
In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:
‘My God… what… have… I… created?
If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

How about selectively quote then give feedback of your own?
Noone wants to see these 4 page walls of text from some anonymous try-hard on the internet. Do you have something to say?

Do you think it is ok for politicians to make millions in office? I don't.
The bullshit about Clinton Foundation is just another distraction from REAL Republican shit and that's when it re-emerges from their rotten vaults.

A coworker earlier.
"Boy they are really going after Trump now!"
I said
"Don't you think it's ridiculous long about now? I mean first it was Russia collusion the 2 years of TDS resistance disillusion. I mean do you think this is righ?"
Him
"Well now it is getting silly, and enough already.... But Trump acts like he's untouchable."
Me again.
"Really Untouchable? Wouldn't you be acting the same way, if a bunch of butt munches kept trying to pin a bunch of shit on you that you didn't do.
How would you like to go home today and 5 of your neighbors are saying you broke into their house and robbed them? Not only that, but they continued to accuse you for two years, even after surveillance footage showed it wasn't you, it was a gang of Somalians. Would you be Defiant and laugh at them, or would be obsequious to them in their screed?"

Right.
This is why Putin has manipulated Trump to:
Support his client Assad in Syria (no, Trump actively supported the rebels)
Support his client Maduro in Venezuela (no, Trump is calling for Maduro to step down)
Go along with Merkel buying natural gas from Russia (no, Trump has really chastised Merkel for that)
And I am sure Putin wants NATO members to up their defense budgets

Yes, of course that's why people want Trump removed. It's because they're afraid that his record breaking approval levels are going to propel him to another 4 years.
It has nothing to do with him being the worst President ever.

How GOP Leaders Go From Being #NeverTrump To Trump Supporters
Many top Republican elected officials, including Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, went from criticizing Donald Trump during the 2016 election to becoming some of the president’s staunchest supporters. A step-by-step look at how many of Trump’s GOP detractors become his biggest cheerleaders.
STEP 1:
Cable news invented.
STEP 2:
Discover constituents prefer loud vocalization of hateful beliefs over their quietly acting on them.
STEP 3:
Democrats nominate a woman.
STEP 4:
Flattered when Trump almost gets their name right.
STEP 5:
“Lock Her Up” chant a total earworm.
STEP 6:
Trump embraces classic Republican Party values like tax cuts for billionaires and impunity for groping women.
STEP 7:
Realize there’s no backing down at this point.
STEP 8:
Stop worrying that approving Trump’s policies would ruin legacy after observing how that didn’t happen when John McCain died.
STEP 9:
Concede it was actually pretty funny that Trump gave out a critic’s phone number at a rally.
STEP 10:
Figure you’re quitting for a lobbying job in two years anyways, so fuck it.

Trump to host, judge and receive new ‘Greatest American’ annual award
‘The Greatest Americans’ (or Donalds) will be awarded at a glitzy ceremony to be held at Trump Tower in March and although not all the final details have been released, several of the award categories have been revealed.
Already on the list are:
Greatest American to own a chain of exclusive international golf resorts.
Greatest American to start out in business after being bankrolled 8 billion dollars by his Dad.
Greatest American reality TV star to make it as President of the USA.
Greatest American who made America and its economy truly great again.
Speaking at a press conference to announce the awards Mr Trump said: ‘The Greatest Americans will be a great ceremony, just the greatest ceremony. Yes it will.
It will become the most hotly anticipated award show of the season and it will make The Oscars and The Emmys… and by the way folks, just how sad are the Oscars and Emmys? They’re sad ceremonies, wow, just the saddest. They’re real bad too, oh yeah believe me. They stink!’
‘Anyway, The Greatest Americans won’t stink. They will make all those other sad award shows seem like a Junior High prize-giving day. FACT!’
