The world changed last week.
It changed when it was revealed that our president asked the president of another country (Ukraine) to initiate an investigation into his chief political opponent in the next election.
Full Stop.
There is no need for any quid pro quo. Nor is their need for any strong arming or pressure. There is simply our president, Captain Ouchie Foot, requesting a foreign country, to investigate Joe Biden, for the sole purpose of undermining his chances of winning the presidency.
This is a high crime.
This is a misdemeanor.
This is an abuse of power.
It doesn't get any clearer than that. And please spare me the "corruption" excuse -- that he was simply trying to root out corruption.
Precedent Shitgibbon has said on several occasions that another nation's internal doings were not our business. He never brings up the topic of corruption in Russia. Nor the abuse of civil rights in China or North Korea. Hell, he just sent American soldiers to fight for Saudi Arabia, where they hack journalists to pieces with a goddamned bone saw.
It turns out this regime-ending scandal doesn't stop there.
Crack undercover RoundSeventeen sources have been able to dig up other incriminating transcripts that document his willingness to use the power of the presidency to further his interests and not the nation's.
And there's this.
Of course none of this will matter to Trumpsters, who are willing to subvert our Constitution and everything that defines American exceptionalism, for the extra $4.38 they now find in their weekly paychecks.
We Yanks, it turns out, are very cheap dates.
