Three years of handwringing over constant news of complete corruption and numerous fucking scandals, self-dealing, and favoritism to our fucking enemy. Yeah.

Shoot the bear and kill it or don't shoot. Democrats look like losers.
Trump looked like a loser with the birther thing. Which is why he walked it back. Obama was a winner. He wore it. He owned it. He had The Smile. Hillary was not.
Obama could kill Trump. He knows how to kill Trump. Biden may know how to kill Trump.
The media is filled with whiny losers. The same way the whiny losers at Fox could not undo Obama. Like it or not, Trump and Obama share that "fuck the opponent" swagger. Should we elect presidents on this basis? Probably not. But we're dumb animals acting more on instinct than we know. This is the playing field.

Why do we not have impeachment? Because Republicans have destroyed the entire system so that they can reshape government in the image they want.
|
You don't have impeachment because you haven't been able to make a compelling enough case for it politically and in the media. If the GOP can reshape the system (which progressives also seek to do), you have to play by the rules enforced on you. When you win, you get to change the rules.
Is this a good way to run things? Fuck no. But as long as we have adversarial systems in control, this is the wrestling match we endure.

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.

If you've money enough to matter, you're ahead of the tariff silliness. If it's hurting you, as it hurts me, you're a nobody. I'm a nobody. But I'm not missing any meals.

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.

It is all related. And Hank and I have been telling you, why allow the media to be a proxy/whipping boy for Democrats? It's just fucking dumb. Drop this Russia shit and start focusing on how the Trump tax cuts favor well heeled r/e investors.

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.*

Chinese water torture works drip by drip. A wall is built with thousands of bricks. Trust me when I tell you, Trump is creating an impression in the Blue Wall that his detractors are insane malcontents. I voted for John Kerry in 2004 and was sure, among all my friends in Philly, that we would right the injustice of the Iraq War. I went to bed drunk and happy and sure the nation would know W was a reckless fool, based on what the media had done for the prior 4 years, and what it had done during the campaign.
I woke up pissed.
If you buy Ty's view, you may wake up seriously pissed in November of next year.

I'm not voting for Trump. I can't.
