    “The president never views a near-miss as an opportunity for reflection and reformation,” warned Michael Gerson.

    Michael Gerson, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, on Thursday warned of the “further danger” to come if the GOP-controlled Senate votes to acquit President Donald Trump over his Ukraine misconduct.

    “The president never views a near-miss as an opportunity for reflection and reformation. He sees it as permission to indulge his every urge,” Gerson wrote in a new column for The Washington Post.

    “And his most consistent urge has been to seek unfair advantage in the upcoming presidential election,” he continued. “The months between Senate acquittal and the November vote will be fertile ground for further cheating.” (You can count on that!)

    Too funny. Republican Senators: "There's no reason to convict, nothing new presented in this trial, so we will vote to make sure no new evidence is presented."

    The vote will be on the merits of the case presented by the Democrats (note that there are no Republicans presenting the case which is telling). It appears to be a totally partisan effort to remove a sitting president that the American people elected (which Nervous Nancy said should never happen). If the vote is for acquittal (exoneration) the significance is that the Democrats did not present a compelling case. If the vote is guilty, it means that the case was compelling.

    See how easy that was?

    We have been waiting on that for a while now. The many failures of Adam Schiff yet Nancy keeps putting him out there. Remember when he was punked by radio talk show guys about having "russian kompromat"? That was good stuff

    TDS is a real thing. Instead of self reflection JPP leftists put their cognitive dissonance into overdrive. Only they know that Trump cheated in 2016 and only they know that he is cheating in 2020.

    We already know that if Trump wins re-election in 2020 EVERY single JPP leftist will claim that it was Ukrainian cheating.

    It cracks me up. When Hillary Clinton hires a law firm to hire a foreign national to go to Russia to dig up dirt on a political opponent, it isn't a threat to national security, it is opposition research

    But, Trump doing his job making sure that Ukraine cleans up its act and look into legitimate concerns about Biden's corruption, it is an existential threat to our Republic. The left are truly threats to this country. Plain and simple. They are more of a threat than Al Queda and ISIS

    Earl is spamming the forums with multiple copies of the same post. I wonder if he wrote the original himself, or was it sent to him by his handlers.

    Yes, but it hadn't become entrenched in the minds of the rest of the party to the point that they wanted to destroy the govt like they do today.

    In Reagan's day there were still old line Republicans who understood that compromise was the way things got done in Washington. Sure, nothing happened overnight, but they knew that's the way the world worked.

    And they still had integrity and respect for the institutions and its rules and the decorum and protocols, etc.

    Nowadays they're a bunch of shameless, spineless cretins who are willing to allow a grifter, con artist carnival barker palooka with a cult following to shit and piss all over it all just to save their own skins.

    Worse yet, some of them actually admire what Trump is.

    These are frightening, worrisome times for anyone with an ounce of reverence and respect for the traditions that made this country great.

    That's why that whole "MAGA" thing is so galling and filled with irony.

    Great is the exact opposite of what Trump and his spineless, sycophantic minions are making America.
