| Whether or Not Trump Committed a Crime, Can't We All Agree That He is Guilty of It? |
| 2019-09-25 |
| h/t Instapundit [The Derringer] Here we are again. Another day, another scandal. Today, Trump is accused of withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on Biden. Tomorrow it will be something else. Whether or not he committed any crime, can’t we all agree that he is guilty of it? Let me lay out my reasoning. Trump, as we all know, is a criminally corrupt president, unfit and emotionally unstable. It is our job as reporters to discover the evidence that proves these facts. But here’s the rub ‐ finding evidence is difficult and expensive. Can’t we just jump to the end and say he’s guilty already? First of all, we know he’s guilty because we feel these facts deep within our bones. We feel the knowledge of his guilt well up inside us when he appears on the TV screen. We flush to its terrible revelation when he speaks. It’s insulting, frankly, that we should have to prove this guilt by "standards" of "law." Babylon Bee has competition? |

| #8 Satire, yes. But I'm afraid it's exactly what the donks have in mind. |

| #7 Let's try a little logic. If the President of the US can't have corruption by US citizens investigated, then neither can the shitheads in Congress. |

| #6 Thought Bee, too. The press in this country is no longer the press. They are a for-profit political movement. The customary freedoms accorded the press cannot be extended to them as before. They are not observers but participants in the political process: political actors. |

| #5 Rantburg should, I think, have a special category for these. Moved to Opinion. |

| #4 this is not from the Babylon Bee but from another satire news source (The Derringer). There are other such sites, e.g. Scrappleface, Genesius Times, with a conservative bent. Rantburg should, I think, have a special category for these. |

| #3 Trump is guilty of beating Hillary Clinton. Her coronation got derailed. The Dem money-making machine got shut down. No wrath like that of a scorned woman and her party. |
