Trump's new plan is to try to normalize treason by committing more of it. So, he openly asked China to investigate Joe Biden for "corruption" if they want trade to maybe get easier. Normalizing the unthinkable by saying/doing it openly, over and over, is Trump's mode of operation, and he's doing it again... except the thing he's doing this time is worse than anything he's done before, so it's not working nearly as well. His poll numbers are down, support for impeachment and removal is up, a few Republican Senators are giving slightly wishy-washy statements, etc... sure, removal is extremely unlikely, but things are bad for Trump, and I hope they continue getting even worse. ... And that people do not allow him to normalize borderline treasonous stuff like he is doing, of course!
Now, Trump's numbers with Republicans ARE getting worse for him... but the vast majority still believe in him. I've never had any idea why.
Quote: And one last thing, it doesn't matter who the whistleblower is, or if they are credible, or even if you could 100% establish that they were lying and made it all up. It doesn't matter because Trump released the transcript. The whistleblower just blew a whistle, they are NOT Trump's accuser. Could they have been? Sure, but we're well past that now. Discrediting the whistleblower is pointless, and on our side, defending the whistleblower is pointless. Don't even engage with that. The whistleblower's roll in all this is over, dead, kaput. The only thing that matters now is the transcript, and that's all they need.Yeah, it is kind of amazing how Trump and his administration have managed to make things significantly worse for themselves by pretty much admitting all of the worst charges... but he knows his base doesn't care or believe it -- a poll showed that only 40% of Republicans think that Trump talked about Biden on the Ukraine call, or something along those lines, despite that transcript factually proving that he did. They don't care, our system has broken down and people do not believe the media anymore. The only hope we've got is that that fortunately-a-minority group of people can be rendered electorally irrelevant, but they sure aren't now...
