Three years of hand wringing and media about scandals sure to result in indictment or impeachment and what have we got? Tumbleweeds.
Democrats can beat this guy in the election, or they can continue to look like people crying for fouls in a game of street ball. They might even be able to do both. But engaging in the latter makes the former a lot harder.

This is so fucking exhausting. Really.
Three years of handwringing over constant news of complete corruption and numerous fucking scandals, self-dealing, and favoritism to our fucking enemy. Yeah.
Why do we not have impeachment? Because Republicans have destroyed the entire system so that they can reshape government in the image they want.
If you don't think these things are affecting Trump's standing, you are fucking koo koo for Cocoa Puffs. Yes, his base won't budge. But everyone knows he's an idiotic lunatic looking to enrich himself through corruption. And many people who voted for him may not be paying close attention to the intricacies of the Mueller Report, but they know that there's a ton of fucking smoke. They also know he's fucking everything up with this absolutely brain-dead tariff war. I'm not going to mention kids in cages and all the other racist shit.
So stop acting like people need to just focus on beating him at the ballot box (whatever that means). This shit is all related. All of it. Everything he's done is fair fucking game and it's all going to hit him come election time.
Lawrence O'Donnell's little correction is a blip. It will not affect anything. It will not get
anyone to think, "Well,
now we know
all this stuff is made up." Ty is right that the only people repeating that bullshit are you, Hank, and the most idiotic of Trump supporters. And Hank is already voting against him, so everyone else on that list can be fucking ignored.*
