    Are you prepared to be an expert witness at Trump's impeachment trial?

    NYT’s beloved “four people familiar with . . .” :roll:

    No, the people don’t have a “right to know” - because IF we KNOW, so do our enemies.

    He never called it a hoax. Don’t bother posting the vid because it just proves my point.

    I don't think he has the media pull(especially from MSNBC) to try to garner sympathy. I do however think, that it puts things in context. Trump *may* yes want to get back into political life but between what he did, the coronavirus and how overweight he is, I want everyone to put their logical thinking caps on: It's over.

    And this is why I've been saying to everyone: Trump doesn't matter. It's why I'm more concerned about the future health of the Senate. If political trials are the new norm, then we've lost touch with what made America exceptional. That's not going to go away even with a conviction.

    So, we should let bygones be bygones? What prevents current or future presidents from abusing their power if we turn a blind eye to what Trump has done to cause division and chaos within the country?

    It's not necessarily letting bygones be bygones, if we're sure he's committed a crime. If he's committed a crime then the justice system is more than up to the task of charging him, proving it and incarcerating him like damn near any other criminal.

    It's less about letting bygones be bygones, then it is about a private citizen being tried in the Senate(sure, McConnell could have complied and we'd have an impeachment of President Trump but that sadly didn't happen.). But the reality and the optics, is what we have now.

    The Senate as a form of political theater happened once before(Brett Kavanaugh) with minor fanfare. I firmly believe this event, will by historians be noted as the moment where the Senate as an institution degraded itself to being a mob-centric institution as well.

    I’m certain my post stands on its own regardless of who you are referring to.

    So, as usual, I am correct despite your incorrect insistence otherwise.

    NY Times anonymous source... lolerskates

    If it is true, that man is amazing. It kicked my ass for well over a week and my recovery took another week.

    And history will note that it was the repubs who failed to do their duty every step of the way. They let down their party, their country and their conscience.

    As expected from this administration. Everything has been lies, lies, lies, and more lies.

    Of course, the picture of Trump on supplemental oxygen wouldn't have fit with the narrative that covid is just like the flu. Therefore, it was not allowed to be publicized. Despicable...

    People have died from the flue and from peanut butter. Different people react differently to various diseases, bacteria, viruses , pathogens, carcinogenic, etc.

    It does not matter if it actually and explicitly used the term "hoax". It played down the virus, It said that the virus would go from 15 cases to 0, It said that the virus would go away by Easter Sunday last.

    The same disengenuos argument is being used to defend It during this impeachment process. It's defenders say that It did not explicitly say " go and commit homicide, go and render Officer Sicknick dead, go and hang Pence, render Nancy dead, gomand commit insurrection" that It is innocent. No It is not innocent but it matters not because It will not be voted guilty as It should be because there are too many Eunachs among those who so falsely claim to be Republicans and patriots serving in the Senate

    yep, he took an experimental drug that was developed with the use of embryonic stem cells that originated from an aborted fetus

    notice he did not use the drug he was telling everyone else to use

    I think most republicans would use this drug if their life, or a loved ones life was on the line - Trump proves this

    Trump was so scared of Covid, he took a drug cocktail of experimental drugs

    Trump knew the truth, and this more than anything proves it

    Trumps opposition. Trump had a rose colored view of Covid while Democrats took the opposite approach and imposed strict shutdowns and mandates. Now we have the benefit of hindsight, we can discuss results. I live in Los Angeles, so lets use my city for an example.

    So the Trump administration lied about something? What a surprise.

    Actually, anyone who had seen him gasping for air on the WH balcony right after being released from the hospital would have known that his form of covid wasn't mild.
