Why Trump Will Survive Even This
The Politico ^ | September 23, 2019 | Jack Shafer, senior media writer

Posted on 09/26/2019 9:17:44 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Nobody is going to hold Donald Trump accountable for his alleged Ukrainian shenanigans because—as we’ve seen in his career and the first 32 months of his presidency—he’s too good at deflecting investigators, irate Democrats and pesky reporters.

To begin with, Trump suffers no shame when confronted with the outrages of his personal, professional and political lives. A normal fellow would blush crimson if caught paying a porn actress hush money after purportedly having sex with her. He’d cringe if confronted with the lascivious things he’d repeatedly said about his eldest daughter. He’d wear a mask to avoid being recognized if 17 women had accused him of sexual misbehavior. He would leave politics if captured on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women.

But not Trump.

A normal businessman would cower in disgrace if he had been accused of housing discrimination, having Mafia ties, running a sham “university,” filing serial bankruptcies, stiffing contractors and suppliers, not to mention tax fraud or self-dealing through his personal foundation.

But not Trump.

By this, does the author mean the latest Derp State coup attempt?

The whistleblower complaint is nothing more than a manifesto or a bureaucrat that disagrees with an elected official. Yet, those who scream for Trump’s impeachment would have us give more weight to heresay than direct evidence that we can read for ourselves.

Adam Schiff and his staff were in on this from the get go. Bank on it.

I agree. The Clintons have no shame about transgressions in their personal and professional lives. The types of activities perpetrated by the Clintons would have caused others to shamefully exit public life.

The only way to stop the antiAmerica demon rats is vote them out of office, in massive numbers. Lying devils like Feinswine and Schumer, and Laehy, and Pelosi and Schiff, and Booker, etc must rejected by a majority of Americans who see the evil in the eharts of these lying enemies. Being manipulated by the demon rats to keep voting them into Congress can only be stopped by the people being manipulated with the lies and media lies. Sadly, there are literally millions of demon rat voters who don’t mind be lied to and manipulated and played fro fools by racecard foolishness.

Trump is in good company. Democrat congresscritters have called for the impeachment of every Republican President since Eisenhower. Hell, they may have called for the impeachment of Eisenhower too, but that was before my time.

Just like socialism, the far left wing liberals are convinced that THIS TIME it will work!

If, on the basis of the same hearsay, some CIA guy had made the same charges against Obama, he’d be dismissed as a partisan kook.

Uh, just a SWAG here. Because it’s BS? And because we want him to as well.

He means a normal pu$$y establishment Republican would have cowered. Trump is the fighter we have been waiting decades for. Republicans, take heed.

Confronted??? as in writing an opinionated nasty column about whatever?
Maybe he’s not ashamed about it because those doing the “confronting” have dogshit breath.

Also, most of that stuff happened a long time ago when he was a democrat billionaire playboy. He knows he’s not that person anymore and so do his millions of supporters.

The elitist parasite who composed this trash should do some research into why the media has about a 9% favorability rating with the public.

Mostly because “even this” is even less.

His accusers are liars trying to protect themselves by falsely accusing the President of what they have done. That might be a part of it.

Did it ever occur to the author that Trump did not sleep with the porn star, hence he had no reason to blush with shame? Did it ever occur to the author, that the porn star/prostitute might have lied to boost her floundering career? Are prostitutes particularly known for their veracity?

I for one do not think they were ever voted into office. I believe they are all fraudulent.

having Mafia ties...

Give me a ####ing break. I live on Staten Island and you can’t build a shack without using a company that’s either kicking up to or owned by the mafia.

That would mean EVERY developer and real estate businessman and actually every real estate broker has mafia ties.

Cause there isn’t a house out here that didn’t make the mafia some money

“Like the “trickster” figure in literature, Trump uses his far-ranging skills at guile, treachery and humor to undermine the established order to get what he wants. Each time he shatters the standard rules of behavior and persists, Trump resets what’s considered acceptable. This makes him a bigger villain to his foes. But he also makes him a bigger hero to his fans.”

This made me laugh.

Trumps gonna git you! Bwooooooah ha ha ha!

Another NPC with Trump derangement syndrome. Just because he believes his hate filled delusions does not mean anybody else needs to.
