    What's so funny
    They're two separate cities.

    You don't always have to pretend like you know more than everyone else ;)

    The Next Trump Crisis Is Already Here
    Ukraine is by no means the only dirty secret being covered up.

    The Next Trump Crisis Is Already Here

    excerpt:

    "The multiple subpoenas raise different legal issues, especially because the Financial Services and Intelligence subpoenas were served not on Trump or his organization, but on his accounting firm and two of his banks.

    If the Supreme Court rules in favor of some or all of the subpoenas, damaging financial information will tumble into the public domain right as the election season begins in earnest. Worse, the New York State case could conceivably lead to an indictment of Trump. The current practice is that a serving president cannot be prosecuted for a federal crime. What about a state crime? Vice President Aaron Burr was (unsuccessfully) prosecuted for the killing of Alexander Hamilton in 1804. Beyond that, there are not many relevant precedents. Whatever the ultimate constitutional answer to the question, it’s not a good look for a serving president to end a campaign arguing that he should be immune to state as well as federal criminal law. It raises questions like “Maybe we should have a president who has not committed so many crimes?”

    Trump can of course hope that he wins on every point in the Supreme Court. Yet such a victory will not protect him unless it is overwhelming. If Trump wins 5–4, with the newest justice, Brett Kavanaugh, casting a vote for secrecy, this outcome will not command much legitimacy among Trump’s political opponents. Instead, they will charge that a justice whose guilty secret was protected by the president is now protecting the president’s own guilty secrets: yet another quid pro quo in an administration notorious for them."

    It's not exactly correct, what Trump said, but it's not exactly incorrect either is it

    It's not like there is a clearly defined area the Chiefs represent. Not like the Chiefs themselves would say oh no no, we don't represent that part of the (to use lodes wording) metro area that now overhangs into kansas. Especially since Kansas has no other NFL team

    A couple guys saw the original tweet, took a screenshot, shot off their mouth, it went viral, didn't think about

    ...but hang on a minute, the Chiefs don't represent that eastern part of Kansas...meh, says who exactly?

    Well, the balance in the 401-k bank account is way up since The Donald took office. This is of more consequence to me than where Kansas City is, or if a hurricaine will hit Alabama. I have also heard somewhere that the ocean will rise up to the level of the Blue Ridge Mountains, so we should be used to these blunders.

    You should honestly be a politician.
    You would probably even be able to explain your way out of using taxpayer funded aid as leverage to ask a foreign entity to investigate your political rival ;)

    Trump's defenders, some of whom like Sen. Alexander admit that he committed a wrongful act, say that his guilt or innocence about his use of U.S. taxpayer money to manipulate an election for his personal gain should be left up to the election that he manipulates.

    It's the same type of self-contradictory remark that Murkowski made when she claimed it was justified to preclude witnesses from the trial (which made the trial unfair) because she thinks the trial is unfair.

    Impeachment Trial Live Updates: ‘Leave It to the Voters,’ Trump’s Defense Says

    excerpt:

    "Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and one of the impeachment managers, sought to counter a growing argument among Republicans in the Senate: acknowledging that President Trump’s decision to withhold critical military aid as part of an effort to pressure Ukraine into investigating a political rival was not appropriate, but not to the level of removing him from office.

    “As many of you in this chamber have publicly acknowledged in the past few days, the facts are not seriously in dispute,” Mr. Jeffries said during closing arguments. “We have proved that the president committed grave offenses against the Constitution. The question that remains is whether that conduct warrants conviction and removal from office.”

    “Absent conviction and removal, how can we be assured that this president will not do it again?” he added. “If we are to rely on the next election to judge the president’s efforts to cheat in that election, how can we know that the election will be free and fair?"

    All of the courts in the U.S. might as well allow the judges to manipulate the jurors and leave it up to the manipulated jurors to decide if the judges are corrupt.

    He's more like a lawyer (of Satan :D). Which imo is exactly the kind of politician of which there should be less.

    I think the most consequential and long lasting effect of trump is the supreme court. You youngíns will be under their jurisdiction for decades to come.

    I heard that El Chapo wants a new trial. He doesn't want any evidence, or witnesses.

    I just saw a report about Trump's little private Super Bowel party for some of his private club members. It cost the tax payers $3,500,000.00

    There probably weren't too many down and out coal miners invited to Trump's U.S. taxpayer financed $3.5 million party.
