    Having a judge up there and pretending it was one was nothing but a sham and a disgrace. Add it to the pile of disgraces.
    There were witnesses. The Democrats claimed 17 of them. Also, witnesses are not required for a trial.

    Well, this 'moron' is pretty good at controlling the story. No matter what the story is, his version is always different, which then is taken up by the whole cult, and the actual story rejected.

    How about this quote? Is this an uncanny description of Potus or what?

    "The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion. Tired at length of anarchy, or want of government, they may take shelter in the arms of monarchy for repose and security."
    Inversion fallacy.

When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.”"

    - Alexander Hamilton.

    That's the best description of what DT does with the media.
    The media did it to themselves. Trump did nothing.

    Goalpost fallacy. We pay taxes for both the President and for the men that protect him. Trump pays the men that protect him.
