> “Certainly Mr. Manafort got caught breaking the law, but he wouldn’t have gotten caught if they weren’t after President Trump," Duncan said, referencing Mueller's probe, which she described as a "witch hunt to try to find Russian collusion." The president frequently derides Mueller's investigation as a "witch hunt."

“Something that went through my mind is, this should have been a tax audit,” she said.

there's a part of me that feels like the thought there was "because he was found doing illegal thinks thanks to the witch hunt he should be innocent"

Yeah listening to parents with 1950s values

@SaintWacko PRetty much this exactly, and his supporters won't care

At this point the only thing that'll stop Trump is if democrats get control during the midterms and then actually take steps towards impeaching him OR if he gets charged with crimes

Because even if he's charged with crimes and then pardons himself I'd like to think that would be too far even for the GOP

Memor-X

@Wipqozn could he actually do that?

like for him to pardon himself he would need to be convicted first

Wipqozn

@Ash I'd be curious to see how much of a difference this actually makes and in what kind of positions.

Nzall

@Memor-X It's a minefield. A president can also pardon people who aren't convicted yet

Memor-X

and if he was convicted wouldn't he loose his presidency and thus that pardoning power

Wipqozn

@Memor-X No, he could pardon himself without being convicted I believe. He'd just need to admit guilt essentially, I think?

It's weird, but supposedly the question of a self-pardon is one open to debate

Nzall

11:30 AM

Essentially, if he were to pardon himself, he would essentially say what Nixon did: if the president does it, it's legal

or something like that

Memor-X

sounds like Rich Uncle Pennybag's Get Out of Jail Free Card

Nzall

He's effectively say: I'm guilty, but I'm above the law

And that's probably a step too far even for Republicans

A self-pardon would be being your own judge, which is a flagrant mockery of the rule of law

@TimStone yeah but was just targeted at Reuters readers?

There'll be a huge bias if so because Reuters readers are probably more informed than say, everyone whose soul news source is fox news

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone milo is quite pissed about this

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn anecdotally it's a fairly easy sell once you break it down, "we want to make it so people can just go to the doctor and not worry about having to deal with insurance company bullshit, does that sound cool?" (also the poll just says adults so unclear)

@TimStone "Correction: This article previously named Cameron Esposito as a Parkland school-shooting survivor. She is a stand-up comic. We regret the error." That's certainly an error you made there.

And make it a big party

And then split the right vote

Just like the left vote gets split

user15026

@Wipqozn Goood, good

Wipqozn

The context here was he was too racist for the PC anymore

He made tweets claiming Canada has too much diversity

By which of course he meant we need less non-white Christians

Yuuki

> Canada: Our diversity knobs go up to 11.

Wipqozn

Canada was literally built on diversity

And our history has proven time and time again that our country shines brightest when we embrace diversity instead of reject it

Yuuki

5:32 PM

slaps roof of roof of America this baby can fit so much diversity in it

Wipqozn

Hopefully he takes all the racists with him too

And bigots

Then maybe we can have a right leaning party which isn't stuck in the dark ages

He's citing trump as inspiration right now

Yuuki

@Wipqozn Pretty sure it's less inspiration than blatant plagiarism.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki hue-eh

@TimStone what if they use campaign funds to post bail?

Yuuki

@TimStone By "living paycheck to paycheck", do they actually mean "living election to election"?

Unionhawk

is this the vaping congressman or is this another guy who spent campaign funds to buy steam games

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk steam game

also "gotta buy these shorts for me, a vet, therefore it was a charity to support the vets"

Tim Stone

5:50 PM

@Unionhawk It's the vaper yeah

Which makes this even more hilarious
