Trump will be acquitted BECAUSE he didn't do anything but try to uncover corruption. Nancy doesn't want the senate to call witnesses and present evidence.
Republicans don't want to actually try the case, and they have already said in advance Trump will be acquitted.
How unfair of democrats to want evidence that the White House blocked from being considered by the House hearings to actually be considered in the trial.

Cheaters would imply that they only broke some rules. The Democrats are criminals who broke laws.
Yeah, the democrats are such cheaters.

When evidence is flawed or lacking, throwing a case out is appropriate.
marcus says
You do know judges rule on disagreements like this right? Obama, Trump, and every president before has used executive privilege. Orange man bad though, I know.
marcus says
This jam job is an obvious fraud, which cant hold up in court or the senate or to any reasonable thought. Cheaters? Nah. They are allowed by the rules to waste everyone's time w this fraud. It's just bad decision making and the US voter has taken notice.
Trump slaughter in 2020 all but guaranteed at this point. Marcus, you want to make a bet on 2020 POTUS election? I bet Trump will win, barring any Arkancide events.

Because everyone was afraid of pending gun restrictions.

I wonder why gun and ammunition sales go through the roof when Obama was elected.

Don't want to quote the image Marcus, but seriously??? (Comment 7342)
"The media is dishonest"
"Muslims are all evil"
"Trump is Presidential"
1 - You believe the media? Seriously? It's all shit and you know it. They have to sell ads and they report on what their customers want. So yes, media is in fact dishonest.
2 - Who here or anywhere has said Muslims are ALL evil? It's the religion as a whole. Most Muslims are probably perfectly fine people that we'd all get along with it's just the religion itself wants to discriminate against non-believers. And the extreme ones will actually act on this and kill non-believers. This is mostly unique to Islam and Muslims. It's the exact same mindset that you're more likely to get randomly shot in South Shore versus Naperville. The trend is your friend.
3 - Again, who has said Trump is Presidential? No one here that I've seen.
I get these points from your meme, but they have to be based in reality for it to be funny. These are not right or left wings thoughts above. They're what the left "thinks" the right believes. The 0% reality part describes the entire meme though which is rather ironic. lol

Yes, I agree with you BUT!
We should be careful to distinguish between PRODUCTIVE WORK like caring for an apple tree, and NON-PRODUCTIVE RENT-SEEKING, like doing nothing for anyone and yet forcing the public to pay them via legally enforced scams of one kind or another. Like, for example, forcing everyone in America to pay private insurance companies unlimited amounts for health insurance, by law.

I have a feeling that many of these memes are planted exactly in order to obscure the difference.

I agree that the media is clearly dishonest, but I think it's not because that's what their customers want.
In fact, I think their customers want honesty but can't get it because media ownership is concentrated into the hands of very rich people whose scams are being disrupted by Trump's election. They don't really care about making money directly from the media. They care about keeping political power so that they can skim money off of all of us by making laws that allow them to do that.
Thus the 100% negative coverage of Trump in the mainstream media. Not even Hitler had press that bad, and Trump is no Hitler.

I agree with you on this @marcus
In fact, getting all that negative press in 2016 was what got him elected in the first place! It was billions in free publicity, and Trump milked it like a pro.
And why shouldn't he? It's the press which has horribly miscalculated, not Trump.
He's FAR rather see nagative articles about himself than no mention of him at all.
