Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | This is my last attempt to explain this to Trump supporters: It's not the investigation that gets you impeached, it's the crimes committed in the course of the cover-up. Reagan committed actual "high crimes." Giving aid and comfort to an enemy state (Iran), flouting his own policies (we don't negotiate with terrorists), usurping Congress' Constitutional prerogatives (using government funds to aid the Contras). Do you honestly believe he was completely unaware of all these things? But, aside from pro-forma denials that would never hold up, he didn't attempt a cover-up. Golden Boy may not have done anything illegal or even unseemly (but who knows), and perhaps neither did anyone in his campaign or transition team (then again, who knows). But they all began a cover-up right away. Funny how many people under Trump "forgot" to disclose contacts with Russian agents, including the Attorney General overseeing the investigation into Russia. come on, this is all public record and recent, up to firing Comey under false pretenses, and admissions that it was due to the Russia probe. Surely there's no need to go over it again. I said I posted good advice because your guy won't ever use it. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Next time you are flying, when you get up to the baggage search, tell them you have a grenade. Find out all about free speech. Big difference between a rock concert, and an effigy of the POTUS's head removed for all the world to see, including his eleven year old kid. Some of Cooper's music is ok. I"m not supporting Trump here, just decency. More killings everyday in the news, multiple murders, all manner of sickness. It's illegal to threaten the POTUS The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

He didn't even have a disgusting graphic picture taken. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

A good point, and one I would likely have made, with legal proof and all. But petro, while it is indeed a law as plain as day, do you support this creation of a higher class that is somehow above his fellow citizen? Trump can say he can shoot someone and it'd be fine, and that's just a crass joke. Griffin makes a crass joke, and suddenly it's a crime? I still break on this. Many of my friends are 5-0, and I have little initial reaction to the fact they and their EMT brethren have special protections on the job. Then I start thinking, and I wonder what makes some judge or counsilman above some petro or terapined. This, IMO, is art, which should suffer no legal interference. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Trump's statement during the campaign that "second amendment people" would have to deal with Clinton or her Supreme Court appointees, was more of a threat. Also, it's not a threat to wish someone were dead, or even to wish someone were killed. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

It's not a crime, it's that do you want to associate yourself with brain dead waste's of space who think this kind of stuff is OK. CNN doesn't, I don't. Never liked Griffin, never thought her or Sarah Silverman or any of their ilk were funny. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
