Democrats gear up to investigate Trump

*Andrew NDB* · 12-28-2018, 01:54 PM

Just what we need, another investigation into Trump (running simultaneous to the other one, I'm assuming?) with, same as the other one, no cap on how much they're allowed to spend on it.

This is gonna be the real end of Trump! Any time now!

*Candy Kappa* · 12-28-2018, 03:49 PM

At this point, can't we just merge all the Donald threads into one.

Call the merged thread "Stupid Watergate" and we're golden, golden as a certain shower.

Trump only has one year left before the election, why not just encourage people to vote democrat in 2020?

because they don't have anyone to run against him in 2020. in fact, it looks like they've forgotten all about it.

the big bad boogey man has them so scared and angry, that they've devoted all their attention to him and become worse than him in the process.

Democrats are allowed to spend as much money as they want with these bogus investigations but as soon as Trump wants to spend money to build a wall, they're up in arms over using the money for that over healthcare, schools and other things they havent cared about up until this point.

"bogus investigations" huh .I bet you were ok with the tons of "bogus investigations" into Benghazi the republicans did about Hillary and all the money they wasted

Trump's Wall is mythical Why should we have to pay for that wall. he clearly said Mexico was gonna pay for it.

*IndigoErth* · 12-29-2018, 01:06 PM

Yeah, I want him to make good on his promise that they'd foot the bill, not our citizens.

Campaigning normally didn't used to even start this soon, so I'm not sure why anyone is surprised that there is little happening yet or few people to even suggest they might run. Personally I'm tired of 2 year campaigns and I doubt I'm alone. If they hold off for a while still (maybe until summer at least?) I'm totally okay with that. (But I bet once we hit the New Year it'll start up...)

I'm not exactly seeing any competitors for third parties yet either, nor any Republicans. While I guess it's rare for anyone to run against a sitting president of their own party it honestly wouldn't surprise me if one or two chose to do so.

edit: Wow, since he's leaving, what if Mattis ran or was in as VP alongside a strong contender...? I won't even assume a side since he supposedly doesn't affiliate himself with any specific party.

Oh you mean the investigations that had actual proof from her time as SoS. Gotcha.

*Andrew NDB* · 12-29-2018, 03:44 PM

Trump: "Let's build a wall."
Republicans: "Yes, let's build it!"
Democrats: "We're for border security, but NOT that!"
Republicans: "Then what?"
Democrats: "I dunno! Just not that!"
Republicans: "No, really... what's your counter proposal?"
Democrats: "I DUNNO! Just no wall, please!"

*Autbot_Benz* · 12-29-2018, 03:58 PM

Trump we are gonna build a wall and Mexico is gonna pay for that wall.

Also Trump. I need money for my wall which I said Mexico was gonna pay for but instead I am gonna shutdown the government over.

*IndigoErth* · 12-29-2018, 04:39 PM

If he wants it so bad, let him pay for it.

That's an interesting question. It's probably been asked before, but I wasn't paying attention.

How much of the wall COULD Trump finance personally, if he so chose? What's the hairpiece's net worth?

*Andrew NDB* · 12-29-2018, 07:43 PM

He's worth about 3 billion according to Google.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 12-29-2018, 07:45 PM

So, about half, then. Bet he doesn't want it THAT badly....

I see the same thing. And he's last said that the wall could be as little as $15 billion.

I'd give him credit if he liquidated some stuff and paid for, say, $1 billion himself. Show us he actually means it.

Newton Gimmick · 12-29-2018, 11:22 PM

I like the people complaining about the money being used on investigations, when you know, it's actually cost nothing, if not made a profit at this point. Mueller has been arresting Trump's cronies at a surprisingly fast rate and much of their Russian fueled money is going right back into our treasury to pay for the investigation.

http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/...-manafort.html

And even if you discredit that Mueller has actually earned more than he's spent, the Trump investigations have spent less than investigations into Reagan, Watergate or Bill Clinton, not even accounting for INFLATION!

*Andrew NDB* · 12-30-2018, 03:42 AM

On a base level, though, I kind of have a problem in general with investigations that are begun to look for one thing... and just end up finding completely separate things.

No matter how they spin it, nothing that has arisen has anything to do with Russia and Trump. Which was the whole point.

*Voltron* · 12-30-2018, 04:09 AM

If Hillary is being investigated, so should Trump.

It's a pity some people don't like to play by the rules, but if there's evidence that a crime was committed, let the authorities investigate.
