"He can basically do anything with no consequences." And that aged sickeningly well.
That can imply to basically this whole video
Hopefully they finally do something against it
Until today, that is!
So interesting the prescience of the late night hosts
@@sebastianloessl7982 I'm from the future, and I have bad news for you, buddy.
John’s comment about Trump refusing to leave the White House aged SO well.
fine wine would be so jealous it could not age as well as this joke
To be fair though (45) is nothing if not predictable...
I came just for this comment
You copied this comment for likes. Bless your insecure soul.
Omfg i love ur pfp
I want to remind everyone, in 2000 a staffer working for Al Gore's campaign received information that could give Gore the edge over Bush in the debates, and they immediately called the FBI, handed over all materials sent to them, and complied fully with the investigation into the matter.
Gore also made climate change his pet project. He's like the anti-Trump. I don't think he's ever gone bankrupt or assaulted any women or made any fake colleges or charities. I bet he has a real charity!
Wonder what the country could have been like under him??? I still dont think we would have had 911.... I think that was somehow a retaliation to the Bush's... considering the 1st time they were bombed was during his dads presidency.... I mean maybe not. Mayne it just took that many years to get it all worked out...we will never know what this country would have been like under Gore or without Trump.... or McConnell..... I even have wondered if Hamilton wouldnt have been killed and could gave become president them maybe the civil war wouldnt have happened.... or maybe it would happened sooner..... we will never know the impact these people could have had or how terrible of an impact others have had
@@namesurname9862 it's called an opinion.....
@@namesurname9862 conspiracy theories are when you put right say something is true....
I stated it was my opinion....
I never said that was how it was...
@@namesurname9862 there's a difference between conspiracy theories and historical speculation. do you know what conspiracy theory even means?
"Drag him out like an uncooperative toddler" that unfortunately, aged so well..
Yea... You know you fucked up when Mitt Romney tweets against you...
It's not that the joke's aged as much as the people involved don't.
Also idk how old you guys are but I've only been alive for 3 presidents; of the 5 elections those 3 presidents were in, the popular vote and electoral majority only matched up 60% of the time. I don't want to think this is normal, but I have no way of knowing this isn't what democracy does.
@@phthalo7401 I can say that that was the case for the last few elections. Before that, I heard it wasn't, like Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton etc. Wasn't old enough to vote until Bush Jr's first go around, which I missed. That makes me 37, I'm not sure about it boy up top tho.
Yikes. Yep.
I like how Trump said High Crimes AND Misdemeanors
He said it in a tone that suggested he commit a high crime but no misdemeanor
Well of course he doesn't do misdemeanors. I mean he doesn't do any crimes, but if he did he's only do the biggest crimes. We're talking real smart type big crimes. Kinda crimes they write books about, they put pictures of him committing the bigly crimes in the book on crimes, right on the cover. He'd never be seen doing the small, tiny crimes. Only weak people do them, the kind of people mexico sends over. All trump cares about are the big crimes, that's why he's done so many!
@@megadude967 He knows all the best crimes.
@@elyssay3157 his crimes? The biggest! People come up to him and they say "Donald, your crimes are the biggest!"
@@megadude967 I heard that some big, strong men who had never cried before in their entire lives, not even when they were babies, wept at the beauty of Trump crimes. I heard that from very reliable sources.
@@elyssay3157 You know, it's just.. You go on the internet and... You go and you see headlines and they say "Trump's crimes bring men to tears" and that's what it's all about in the end, you know?
Two reasons why we're here again:
1. It actually happened.
2. Some of us needed a reminder on what impeachment actually means.
Raccoon Foot Productions most people think impeachment means completely removed from office.
Tomas Gomez impeachment means that the president will go on trial.
Duncan Lockwood I don’t think you can say that liberals are the ones that don’t understand how our government works because I don’t think everyone of the people on either side know how impeachment works. Knowing how government works isn’t tied to political ideology ideology serves to make the government work in your way
Turbo Charged also he was impeached the house voted to do so
Trump had his daddy ( the GOP this time ) to bail him out
Wow, if I had a nickel for every time Trump was impeached, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

"The FBI Director is wrong" genuinely gave me fucking chills. It is terrifying how there is a person in power who genuinely thinks he can do what he want without consequences.
That's what all Saint politicians do
"Drag him out like an uncooperative toddler."
Oh John. If only you knew how right you would end up being.
In retrospect I honestly wondered at the time if we were going to actually see images just like that Photoshopped one of Trump being literally dragged out so the Bidens could move in. I'd honestly pay to see that
@@mikylak7983 i thought for sure he was going to chain himself to the desk in the Oval Office.
Anyone else here after impeachment number two?
You know it!
Here after the indictment.
By a grand jury.
For an entirely different thing than either the impeachments, after checking again.
Past You would never guess what it was.
This really hits different after the Capitol riot

That's all that's available to the people farm, consumers of media are non thinkers. Useless cud chewers. Laugh track respecters. Such a tiny sliver of the population believes what the television tells the viewers they believe until they hypnotize retards into believing their own beliefs are fringe. CNN... Catholic news network.
Every one of use is prone to that. Probably deception is even more common if you on the progressive side. Because progress ''can not be wrong''.
@@kamilziemian995 THAT IS WORD GAME. COMMUNIST TALK. BACKWARDS. Sounds hip, but it is back to feudal system & COMMUNISM. TALK ABOUT FOREIGN INTERFERENCE BY DEMON-RATS? Not TRUMP. ILLEGAL INVADERS BEING THE DEMON-RATS VOTING BASE. THAT IS WHAT stupid Oliver needs to talk about. Is he with BBC, M-15 SHILL?
this describes these so called dnc comedians.. hahahhaa
Deep, mane..
So the guy that claims he never colluded. Says on tv that if he were given the chance to collude, he would definitely collude.
Kevin Whitter
Yup! That's your genius of a prez!
Enjoy!
@PaladinJN01 Studios Except when the information provided is directly used to influence the country's elections by providing dirt on the other candidate.
@PaladinJN01 Studios You have a very strange interpretation of the Steele Dossier which clearly indicated collusion from Trump.
Exactly.
I can already hear the defense.
"Oh, I'm not saying I colluded. I said I WOULD collude, not I DID collude. I did not collude with Russia, but I will if they offered me, but no such thing happened. Nope. Definitely not."
I remember my mom in the hospital, telling her about the impeachment cheered her up immensely
I’m sorry for your loss
An uncooperative toddler, exactly. That's what is happening right now.

It frightens me to think how people know so little about the Mueller Report especially in the golden age of communication.
That's because most don't care about it
We are really in the golden age of misinformation
@Allison Americans are misinformed not uninformed. While the two words are similar, this is an important distinction to make when having this conversation.
Misinformation is where the money is. I'm kind of jealous honestly. You make bad info fueled with hate for both sides, the conflict makes people polarized, profit off the fear from both of your fake news pumps, and if its uncovered you get the added bonus of nobody trusting anything so you still make more money. It's so evil but its ingenuous.
@Allison I couldn't agree more. And the kind of tailored information available online only makes people reaffirm the beliefs instead of challenging said beliefs. It's like the average American lives in a bubble. Fox News dosent help either
Do you know what shocked me most in this video? That the term „conservative news“ is not only used by their opponents. This Lady openly admitted that the news she watched were biased. News should be as neutral as possible and that some people dont even try anymore to seem neutral is deeply worriesome
John Oliver, thank you so much for taking the pain out of our pathetic politics with your great sense of humor. I love it.
"I wouldn't have thought I needed to say this" tag line for this president.
Trump will win 2020 :)

Is that all you gotta say to get likes...we. are. fuked.
@carlos Rivas god damn, you're clever. You insulted someone without putting forth any argument whatsoever. I raise my hat to your superior argument skills.
@@MasterJoeKerr He'll win a criminal conviction in New York for him and his family.
Remember what John Oliver said at the end of 2016:
"THIS IS NOT NORMAL."
Drastic times require drastic measures. #impeach
He also said 'Fuck you, 2016'
and "please run Donald Trump, im begging you"
@curragh 42 Well assume you had to go through a very difficult process to get to another country and you finally made it, wouldn't you want to make money there?
@curragh 42 an outside view, might prove to make you see things from a different perspective. Oliver loves America by the way. If he didn't, he would not have stayed.
“Something getting talked about a lot these days: impeachment.”
That aged well.
Reminder that Pepsi called the FBI when someone tried to sell them Coca-Cola secrets.
Yes, Pepsi has greater integrity than at least one former president.
It's high crimes and misdemeanors, and since I wasn't high when I committed those crimes they can't convict.
:-D
I could never use that defense
😂
Love it!!
"Its high crimes AND misdemeanors I did only one of them so it does not count"
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke
Well, this kind of takes away any responsibility on the evil doing people's part and treats them as some kind of natural disaster. But I get what Burke meant when he said that. (Also, yes, I did have a déjà-vu while writing this. Thanks for asking.)
Marie Lastname not at all. It speaks to how bad people only exist when the good people allow them to.
Perfect example, 1 bad cop that continues doing bad things... as long as the good cops don’t stand up and stop that one bad cop, they’re allowing them to exist.
"Hell is full of good intentions" -Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

"He'd make us drag him out like a belligerent toddler" damn John you called it 😂
I sincerely thought he would physically mess up the living quarters by ripping, broking and even peeing and pooping
Who’s back after the news that he’s literally impeached?
Me
Me
He's not impeached theirs 3 branches of government not one. You ppl are mad for withholding military aid that will be used to kill innocent people.....think about that
@@MegaPOOHPOO He is impeached because he stole the money from Congress that they had given to Ukraine. And Trump held it hostage until Ukraine agreed to do a phoney baloney "investigation" of Joe Biden. There are suppose to be three branches of government, Trump is acting like he's the only one. And talk about innocent people being murdered, how about the Russians forcibly annexing Ukrainian territory like it's the 1940's and Germany is rolling into Poland?
@msw7qw11 Trump has been charged with dereliction of his presidential duties, attempted extortion, and interfering in a federal investigation, all high crimes, all punishable by impeachment.
I mean, I can't imagine criminals would ever want to call the FBI about their own crimes, which makes sense.
Should use a better analogy. Its more like YOU not calling the cops when you find out someone is going to rob a bank. Still dont think thats wrong?
But the question was asked if he or someone in relation to Trump would call the authorities if a crime was being committed. Again, a criminal calling the cops to discuss their crimes.
@@Jaebird88 A better analogy is if a guy offers you some drugs and you take them. If you don't call the police, you get in trouble for taking those drugs (if they find out of course). You're only a criminal if you take the drugs, not if someone offers them to you. Trump's crime is not that he was offered information, it was that he didn't contact the FBI saying that he got information from a foreign government. But, yeah, I agree. Expecting a normal person to report their own crimes is dumb, in this instance Trump knew he was committing a crime, that's why he didn't say anything up until now.
Trump's already a crook because look at his entire business history. He's a glorified snake oil salesmen who believes his life is a movie. Which is where he gets most of his "facts".
I appreciate how funny this line is, but it's not about calling the FBI "about their own crimes"... what's being asked for here is calling the FBI about _potential_ crimes, telling them "somebody wants me to commit a crime". Trump wouldn't be held accountable for that, nor should he, except if he fails to calls the FBI about it as he has signaled he will.
"If nothing else, impeachment steps should be taken so we can stand by the fundamental principle that no one is above the law."
Exactly, John, exactly.
Yes, this. Regardless of the consequences, which no one can predict, it should be done for this reason.
Hillary first or Trump will be President again.
@@lynnwilhoite6194 Completely agree. The fact that steps haven't been taken yet is just disgusting. Trump's nothing but a glorified mob boss, essentially, and if the rest of the government purposefully sits on its hands and does nothing, it will show they themselves mean nothing.
@carlos Rivas Go back under your bridge, troll.
@carlos Rivas I would want impeachment if a democrat president was doing the same things Trump is doing. I guess some people only care about justice when it's convenient.
Who wants to see him revisit the issue now that the process has actually begun?
I do I'm hoping nxt week episode is about wtf is going on now. I need 2 say I'm rewatching this episode
The fact that he's threatened a whistleblower seems worthy of its own episode.
Who else is here during the documents scandal? Commenting recently after they found 130 more at Mar a Lago. These past 8 years have felt like a fever dream.
With Trump you need to reverse questions. "If Joe Biden was offered dirt on you from Russia, should he take it?"
Trump: "No way, that would be illegal"
I was actually surprised that this possibility was not mentioned in the interview. I'd love to hear his answer.
I’m pretty sure that’s how they got Ted Bundy to confess. They asked him what kind of person would do these killings and he unknowingly explained everything in the third person.
@Marvin Cool OJ's book--"If I did It"
Hillary did take that offer from steel. Judicial watch has proof Hillary and the FBI paid Steel in addition to Fusion GPS.
@@marvincool3744 Are you comparing Trump to Ted Bundy? He's not a serial killer, he's a less-likable dickhead Reagan who doesn't even have the excuse of dementia for making no sense. I hope he doesn't get a second term mostly so I can watch him be an asshole in a safe, consequence-free environment. He's a TV celebrity. One with an atrocious ego unfit for office. But he technically didn't do anything illegal, he just admitted that he wouldn't have any qualms acting as president like one of his contestants on The Apprentice. Honestly, even if you think Trump would absolutely do something illegal to win office, the Russians are much more careful. To say they'd rely on him to be their man is an insult on the country with 70 years of KGB oppression practice. They know better. He was openly more pro-Russian than Hillary, so they destroyed her name. Not much different that the United States interfering in every government they could in the latter half of the 20th century to thwart communism. Actually, they managed to do it without any assassination, just prodding political divisions and strategically releasing the gross things politicians do to secure America's dominance on the world stage. A master-class effort in information warfare, really.
They upload these so late on purpose to deprive me of sleep.

Austin Gaius ,m,Hamm,,
Austin Gaius and
July 2020....
The Senate is wishing they would have went through with the impeachment......
And we all are saying how good 2019 is looking....
And then saying.....please please dont let us a year from now say we miss 2020. Because apparently it can always get worse.....
I, for one, am heartbroken that it didn't happen. Now the president isn't just mean and incompetent, he's mean, incompetent and rapidly going senile :(
I think they really do wish they had voted him out of office.
If we miss 2020 next year... I don't even know. I'm already wishing for a meteor to crash into the earth.
Knowing the Republicans, the likes of Hannity and Tucker and other idiots dedicating an entire TV channel to Trump and his supporters who make us wish there was a word stronger than moronic to describe them, that's probably what will happen. Despite knowing all that has happened, they still don't trust Biden or the Democrats to run the show. Frankly, I don't either but I really hope anything would be better than this.
October 2020 checking in. July 2020 is looking pretty good from here.
@@frogmanjeff Anyone up for a good cry? Socially distanced crying, of course. Covid spreads through tears.
"never heard anything negative about the Mueller Report." Good god.
Jordan Sullivan
Yeah, a lot of Americans are fuckin ignorant. Sad.
Does he actually try to be that dumb?
It's worse than you think. The county I live in went for Trump with 63% of the vote. That 63% haven't just heard nothing negative in the report, they think it _cleared_ him. They actually think that they are receiving more money now, due to the tax bill republicans passed. Even one of the guys I work with, who makes the same amount as me tells me he gets paid more now. He doesn't. I don't even know what mental gymnastics he has to go through to think that.
@@Thumbsupurbum absense of mental movement probably.
@@Thumbsupurbum All because he tweeted that aloud and he knew whatever he tweets, people will take that for granted. So he better tweet biaised bs in his favor
Why is it that as a Canadian I seem to know more about American politics than half of America?
Because Americans love to have their political news fed to them by biased media outlets while we Canadians are a neutral third party and can report on it from an outsiders perspective.
Maybe ask do you know correct details about Canadian politics?
Because we actually have an education system
@@SilortheBlade Interesting actually. I think there's way less bias, but then again that's easy to say, doesn't mean it's true
Because youre reading youtube comments?
"I mainly listen to conservative news"
It's always good to see someone diagnose their own problem.
Lmao true 😂

Well. No idea how you did it, but the uncooperative toddler part is quite literally coming to pass. He even said the secret service would have to drag him out.

I want to thank the National Library Service at the Library of Congress for making the audio version of the Mueller Report available in record time. I should also be thankful that the Asshat in Chief hasn’t stopped the funding so far. As a blind person I never would have had access if not for the NLS ❤️
just curious, how as a blind person do you browse youtube? also how do you read comments and type stuff? like how do you know where to click?
@@spaghettitoast756 yeah I doubt
Iphone voiceover, i can access everything, dictate comments and i can see the video well enough to see John is sitting at his desk but not enough to see his face or the graphics to the side.
Your fears are unfounded and completely without merit! Trump said multiple times, that he wanted the report to be made public. And since he SAID it and its o, even a blind person has access to that information!

that old lady talking about the report sums up america
Fox news used to be a global punchline, well it still kinda is, but now its becoming more and more popular, not sure if the world turns wrong, or Conservatives turn right, or we we are the bad guys, not them? What the hell is happening?
if by everyone, not just conservatives, is in their own echo chamber, yeah.
"I wouldn't know O.J. was a bad person because he repeatedly said he was a good person!" 🤦♀️
Reading is something America can't do well, Trump is barely literate.
A smart democratic candidate would have Mueller report excerpts read by Morgan Freeman with the final line "and Trump won't let you read the FULL report......think about that"
Be careful about thinking that only conservatives live in echo chambers. That's how you wind up in an echo chamber.

Who’s back after hearing about that the House had set in motion formal impeachment charges against Trump?
Keen for the show to cover it.
What’s crazy is I was actually watching this the day before the announcement.
I am. And I have to say, this is a refreshing contrast to the top comments normally being something along the lines of "the fact that this video is still just as applicable today as it was when it was made shows how little progress has been made on this issue and that bothers me."
I’m watching it as a refresher because all of the things covered in this video have recently been swept under the rug. I needed to remind myself that he has done some pretty bad things on top of all of the things happening now.
youtube suggested this to me (I'd imagine because of the impeachment charges) and I forgot it was an old episode.....so I suppose I fall into this category
watching this after his ACTUAL impeachment.

It used to be easy to watch three tv channels. Now, people dont know what to watch or who to trust. I sympathize with them. Education is needed
@@puddlemini With only three tv channels, though, we were in even more danger of being influenced because there weren't enough diverse viewpoints out there. Now, there's an overload of information, true... but there's also zero excuse not to take advantage of what's there. Don't get your news from a single source, or only from sources that confirm your own viewpoint. Get news from multiple sources and it becomes easier to see how each of them spins it -- and easier to glimpse the truth. Fact-check everything. Education is there, people just have to stop being lazy about it.

Who else is watching after his impeachment?
Señor Glubbers just want to see what will happen now!
@@EyedMite Republicans in the Senate will acquit him, I'm sad to say. They don't care about the law, or morality, or the will of the public, or reality.
@David Smith Yeah, there's nothing she can say or do to make them convict. The house alone was split down the party lines, except for like 6 people. One of which voted present.
@David Smith But what you and she are forgetting is that even with promises made, it will come down to a vote eventually. And since the R's in the house ignored the last 3 years of gathered evidence, including information gathered solely because he's the president, I still believe they won't care about any promises made either. They're a bunch of corrupt loonies, the classic caricature of politicians seems like an everyday person compared to these people! I dont want to be a Debbie downer, I wish it would get a fair vote and ignore party lines, but with the house vote being 99% partisan we only got him impeached because we had enough dems.
And here we are all over again after Jan 6. Nobody's surprised

andrew Infante no were not. In reality, nothings gonna happen and everyone just blindly follows what they hear on the news. Trump is going to stay in office and proceed to make minimal changes people wouldnt even notice if it wasnt for the news, and then whoever wins 2020 will repeat the cycle. Outliers like Obama and Trump who actually commit major acts get torn down by opposing parties who see false connotation or oppresion in acts that may not even impact their life in any way. Everybody loses if you look at it from such an ignorant perspective.

Who’s watching this during Trump’s impeachment inquiry?
ME!!!
HE'S BEEN IMPEACHED!!!
@@msann60154 And he's been exonerated...acquitted...found innocent...
@@jamesscott6917 did you watch the video? Yes, he was acquitted, but he was acquitted by a republican-controlled senate, led by Mitch McConnell who literally admitted on camera that he was going to acquit no matter what the evidence showed. Meanwhile, Trump asked his people to fire Mueller for investigating him, and the only reason he wasn't found guilty was because his people refused to do so. If you watch the video, Trump actually admits on camera that if someone from a foreign government called him with information on a political opponent, he'd listen to what they had to say. It's pretty hard to see him as innocent at this point.
@@justingiacchetto746 "but he was acquitted by a republican-controlled senate" and impeached by a democrat controlled House, what's your point? I would contend that the impeachment was without validity, ESPECIALLY based on the outrageous conduct of Schiff in blocking defense witnesses and cross examination. Mueller was NOT fired. That ends that discussion because it was always within Trump's authority to do so and he didn't. There was NO CRIME involved, even Mueller admitted that. The only reason he wasn't found guilty was because there WAS NO CRIME in the first place. Just a bunch of whining, moaning and bitching that Trump didn't do things the way they've always been done. Boo hoo. "Trump actually admits on camera that if someone from a foreign government called him with information on a political opponent, he'd listen to what they had to say." Clearly that didn't stop Hillary Clinton from listening to Russian sources as reported by a British source. What's your point? Hillary did it, too. So did Obama. Why is it wrong when Trump does it but not Hillary and Obama? He's as innocent as ANY other politician, INCLUDING ADAM SCHIFF who was spoofed into admitting that he would do the same thing.

A good example: Austria. One of the most popular political parties lost over 10% votes this election because it was discovered that our vice president pretty much sold our country to Russia. Most conservatives loved him and now voted for one of the most democratic parties, because they were against him and we now have the chance to change our country for the better.
Ps: our ex vice president is trying to get back into politics, which means the people that still support him will split the most conservative party in half and they probably won't get into parliament anymore. So we win (finally)
Was your VP at the time inspired by Trump? Serious question here.

(I once wrote this when there was 'no news' announced on John's Facebookpage. Back then, nobody read it or cared. So here it is again :) )
The story of Emma Jansen. *_Why John Oliver didn’t get accepted to Hogwarts._*
It was a cold, winter's evening and while the wind swept through the dark, narrow streets of Hogsmeade, a cloaked figure left footprints on the snow, as he strode along the empty shops.
No one knew him here, no one would recognize him here. He was safe. His pace grew quicker with each new gust of wind and it wasn't long before the Hogwarts castle stood in front of him.
When he turned to his left, he almost jumped with fright. A figure with a hooked nose and greasy, long hair, stared at him.
"Name?", the person asked.
"Oliver..", was the answer.
"Oliver Twist? Man, you orphans know where to find Hogwarts....listen, you're too old to join, I-"
"Jóhn...Oliver...", the stranger explained.
“Oh…right you had an appointment with Dumbledore?”
Without saying anything, the man with the hooked nose, then opened the gates and the cloaked stranger called John Oliver, stepped forward and shook the snow from his head.
He followed the man through a long set of hallways, up a lot of stairs and passing by a lot of confused students.
“Is that the new Defense of the Dark Arts teacher?”, a Ravenclaw asked.
“He won’t last a day…”, a Hufflepuff muttered.
At the end of a long set of stairs, there were two large statues.
The man with the large nose knocked on the door and the other man with the large nose, John Oliver, waited a moment and then carefully opened the door.
Inside the room, there were lots of shiny items, globes, sets of glowing potions and a large bird with glowing golden feathers. John walked with small steps, as not to knock anything over and sat down in front of the desk. Only then he realised the desk was empty.
“H-hello?”, he asked. There was no answer.
On the desk lay an arrangement of items, including a diary, a ring, a box of sherbet lemons and a small wristwatch. John leaned forward and noticed the large indicator was pointing at the 10, rather than the 12. It wasn’t time yet.
A bit more relaxed, he turned to his left and leaned back a bit, taking a good look at the large, redgolden bird next to the desk. It was very silently sitting there, like it was contemplating the existence of the universe. Or it’s preparing to attack me, John thought.
In an attempt to seem friendly and not at all intimidating, John grinned friendly at the bird, waving his hand with a barely raised arm and nodding respectfully. The bird sighed.
“Alright, well..sorry for disturbing your thoughts..”, John apologized and nervously shifted back and forth on the seat. The bird was still staring with this weird look on its face, while some feathers fell to the floor and it sighed again.
“Do you think he’d mind if I take a sherbet lemon?”, John thought to himself. He grabbed one (or three) and started sucking on them, while a rustling noise in the back of the room caught his attention.
Carefully walking through the rubbish and items, John moved to the back and heard the noise again, louder. It came from a window, very high up. If he could júst take another step back, he’d see the source of-
“BAM! BOOM! CLANG!” A large metal globe had fallen over and with a eardeafening ringing sound, was now making its way through the crowded room.
“AAAAH STOP STOP!!!”, John yelled and ran after it, but as soon as he’d reached the desk, the ball (that seemed to have a mind of his own) had started spinning in circles around it.
“Stop! STOP!” John jumped on the chair and wondered where the sudden source of heat was coming from. A short look to his left made clear that the bird had caught fire.
“JESUS CHRIST!” He leaped from the chair, but was immediately tackled by the ringing globe and from the floor, witnessed smouldering bits of bird falling down from the stick.
John gasped, his legs trembling as he stood up and moved towards the stick a second time.
(The story will continue in my next comment)

or when you did nothing wrong and the sore losers are looking for any excuse to explain why they lost a fixed election in their favor. Clinton was fed questions by CNN. Russia had no motive to get Trump in office except to expose an actual criminal and show how corrupt and hypocritical the U.S. is by allowing Clinton to get away with everything.
MrSinister718 I am not arguing with a single thing you say but here is a thought for you. Donald trump keep insisting that China is paying for his import tariff, which is WRONG. He is lying because I can tell you that I’m in a industry where this tariff hit us hard. China doesn’t pay a dime more because it doesn’t cost them anymore to make what is already being made. Guess who pays the import tariffs of Donald trump?
That’s right! It’s Americans who does. Why? Because the tariff is applied to products coming into the United States and the importers, American companies, are the one that is paying the higher cost. That in turn is passed onto the consumer. No China is not paying any more than necessary. They ma drop prices to get the sale or have sales loss, but they ain’t paying shit for your stupid tariffs.

@A Non - I think you slept through the plots of the two musicals while humming along with the melodies.
@A Non 1) I ALWAYS disliked how Grease ended with the girl dressing sexy to please the guy, always thought that since watching it for the first time in 2001 or so, that's not a recent opinion of mine at all. 2) Using context to analyze a piece of art should be encouraged, not discouraged. When looking at Shakespeare, of course we appreciate the time it was written in. "Holding Shakespeare to the standards of 2019" is something literally no one is doing here, you're just setting up an extreme example to make your argument look sane in comparison.

"I can't guarantee that impeachment will work out the way you want it to because it probably won't, _but_ that _doesn't_ mean that it's not worth doing. Because if nothing else, we'd be standing by the _basic,_ _fundamental principle_ that nobody is above the law."
And increasingly, things like this, which were once common knowledge, _now need to be said._ This is one of the reasons it's so important to teach things like American Government in high school.
"nobody is above the law."
i agree. but what law has trump broken exactly that hasnt been immediately debunked AND is significant enough to warrant impeachment?

Not opening an inquiry is more risky than opening one.
Oliver is right. Even if trump isn't removed from office, hearings would shed light on the Muller report and force republicans go on record and publicly choose whether or not they will remain loyal to the constitution and the oaths they took before taking office.
They don’t give a crap about the Constitution and whatever they said when they took office. It’s all about staying in power, no matter what. It’s why they became the Party of No when Obama became president. They knew they their own people would see them as sticking to their guns (literally in some cases), while Obama would look bad for not being able to get bipartisan bills. They didn’t care about their constituents or their duty. It was a way to get power, plain and simple.
And exposing them as frauds MAY help, but most likely their own people, like that lady, won’t hear of it.
