Trump… “they” (we the people) did it to YOU, not the Republicans. The party you claim to represent didn’t have an affair with Stormy Daniels and then try to cover it up with money earmarked for election financing.
“he wouldn’t give One Billion Dollars to Ukraine unless they ‘got rid of the Prosecutor’”
Jesus, this shit again. Yes, as VP, Biden strongarmed Ukraine into getting rid of a prosecutor…
A prosecutor who was intentionally slow walking corruption inquiries AND who both the IMF and our own ambassador to Ukraine wanted removed. Biden acted in good faith as the Vice President of the United States and openly admitted his role in the removal of the prosecutor.

“The Republicans in Congress, though well meaning, keep talking about an Impeachment ‘Inquiry’ on Crooked Joe Biden.
Look, the guy got bribed, he paid people off, and he wouldn’t give One Billion Dollars to Ukraine unless they ‘got rid of the Prosecutor,’” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
“Biden is a Stone Cold Crook — You don’t need a long INQUIRY to prove it, it’s already proven,” he continued.
House Republicans have floated opening an impeachment inquiry into Biden for months, and some members have signaled that they are ready to do so.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Fox Business recently the lower chamber could launch an impeachment inquiry when it reconvenes in September.
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) has been looking into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings.
Right and… then what? Biden isn’t guilty of anything. The Senate wouldn’t convict him. Even if the Senate did convict (which they won’t), Harris, who even Trump isn’t pretending has done anything wrong, would then become President. What’s the endgame, here? We all know there isn’t one. It’s just the politics of endless grievance and whinging.
Trump is an icon of "You’re Fired!’ angry businessmen. They want a state where business is entirely unregulated and controls all aspects of life, company towns and states, no environmental protection rules, dog eat dog education system and weapons everywhere. Public execution or brazen lynching of non-conforming sexual identity / racial out-groups to cheer on. Freedom to discriminate and threaten people they don’t like.
business is entirely unregulated and controls all aspects of life
On the bright side, a “corporate congress” would probably only allow like half of the other stuff. They would still need educated workers, and why give anyone any freedoms.
Based on how they treated the top of medical science during the pandemic, I don’t think they want educated workers. They can travel to smarter places. They want trade skills, technology skills, not people educated in humanities. They believe in 25% business growth every year and it’s a unsustainable fantasy that was largely build off over-exploiting the earth and creating population booms.
The endgame is overthrowing democracy. He’s absolutely right, you know? They have no way of staying politically relevant unless they turn the US into a dictatorship.
We have all heard the “never wrestle a pig” adage. This is the pig picking a fight. It is a deliberate attempt to muddy the waters and politicize the concept of justice. The proper response - both rhetorically and ethically, is to say “show me the evidence under penalty of perjury in a court of law and we will be the first to hold Biden, or anyone else, accountable.”
I think Trump knows that. The thing is, Trump thinks he’s not guilty of anything either, so in his warped worldview, all presidents can be impeached because someone disagrees with them, because that’s what he thinks happened to him.

As usual, every accusation is a confession. In other news, fire is still hot.

They’ve been telegraphing the end game since 2013. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/12/vladimir-putin-conservative-icon/282572/

Linked to the AI post, I think they would want the best educated workers in all areas… and the rest can file for unemployment while AIs replace them.
Dunno if that would lead to more unemployed people starting new competing businesses, or a total humanitarian disaster.
