So many constitutional-law "experts" popping up today.

And so very much TDS.

I find it amusing to see this kid saying to all the world's leaders "I will never forgive you."

I don't recall anyone asking for her forgiveness.

Ah.. living in a world where Republicans claim that 16 year old girl is old enough to marry, or know that actions have consequences but then claim she's a just a child when she starts speaking about science...

Da fuq does she know about science?

What I know about science is that at her age the portion of the brain controlling emotion is nearing complete development but the portion which deals with logic and problem solving has another 6+ years to reach maturity. But I was a Psychology major and not a climatologist.

I don't care who you are or how old you are. Unless you have a PhD in environmental science, you are not qualified to speak on the subject of environmental science at a policymaker level.

And even with that, whoever is writing your paycheck may have a lot of influence over the opinions you vocalize.

On the plus side, the impeachment process will keep Congress busy, so they have less time to imperil our liberties.

In fact, every president should be impeached during their first term. Call it a reality-check, like how you have annual reviews at work.

“An impeachment of a President is an undoing of a National Election!"

"One of the reasons we feel so angry about what they are doing is because ... they're telling us our votes don't count!"



The Impeachment Who Cried Wolf has nothing to do with Trump's actions, just that Trump is Orange Man, and they want to undo his election that they couldn't even rig properly.

MSNBC cuts from Trump speech: 'We hate to do this, really, but the president isn't telling the truth'


MSNBC cut from President Trump’s press conference on Wednesday, claiming the president was repeating lies about his political rival Joe Biden as a “deflection” from the impeachment inquiry.

“We hate to do this, really, but the president isn’t telling the truth,” MSNBC host Nicole Wallace said as the network cut from Trump’s speech.

“These allegations against Joe Biden and Hunter Biden that he’s repeating have been investigated by the Ukrainians. ... The Wall Street Journal included in their report on Friday that the Ukrainians view this issue as having been investigated and adjudicated,” Wallace said.

...
It's almost like they don't want people knowing about their candidate's crimes...

It’s not the three MVP awards.


It’s not the three All-Pro selections.

And it’s definitely not the 14 Pro Bowl selections.

The real reason why Tom Brady is popular is because, you guessed it, white supremacy.
