Is there anything Trump hasn't lied about?
You have to have some true statements here and there like "I'm a liar" otherwise you dip into paradox territory.
The only consistent thing about him is that he is always lying.
How hot he finds his daughter?
Thanks for reminding me!
I don't think he was lying about that.
Precisely
He got a letter from north Korea?
"This is your FINAL NOTICE that your vehicle's warranty is about to expire!"
Imagine that.
Rapist protects other rapists so the can rape some more
I wonder if this wouldn’t be grounds to reopen a more thorough investigation under a Democratic president.
Wouldn't matter. The only means of reversing this is impeachment of a SCOTUS judge, or him stepping down willingly. That's why things like passing laws for term limits matter, to at least eventually get these people off the bench.
It’s sad, but honestly my my hope with that would be further erosion of the public support and opinion of the conservative wing of SCoTUS and a growth in support for expansion.
A functional Congress would have him off any cases by the end of the day and an indictment trial scheduled to start by next week to get him off the bench. If you or I lied and changed the results of a background check our employers would be well within their prerogative to fire with cause.
Then why didn't the FBI hold a press conference and disclose this to the public? Make it known what the President was doing?
"Rapist Trump Lied About--" needs to start every headline for stories about that guy.
Wait… you mean rapist Donald Trump? We taking about that rapist? Or a different one?
I always assumed that the FBI couldn't be bothered looking into a rape accusation from decades ago with no evidence to go on. I believe Dr. Ford when she says he assaulted her, but there's only so much law enforcement can do this late in the game.
Law enforcement has little to do with anything here. Nobody is trying to arrest him or press charges. But a guy with a compelling rape allegation levied against him should under no circumstances be allowed to serve on the highest court. It's utterly baffling that he's there. But here we are.
