the people elected Trump to hold the gavel...case closed, point muted!
Does anybody who labels themselves "conseravtive" have sympathy for "rules have to be obeyed"? (For you erudite types: pacta sund servanda)

@mott-the-hoople saidA point cannot be muted but a point can be moot.

Oh yeah just a reminder that only a minority of the people voted for Trump to hold the gavel.
Simple fact is that if Trump could have debated Biden then he surely would have. He opted instead for saying a whole lot of utter rubbish in a loud squeaky voice.

In any case, the POTUS is not an emperor; does not hold the gavel in every court and forum. This he has never accepted. But he will, eventually.

wrongdoing when our ideological political enemies stand accused. And the pols know it.
Talk about an group of entitled people... "politician privilege".
And moonbus, you dive in to protect Hilary as if she ad been elected to president.
That should not be the case, and especially so when her misdeeds happened when she was a citizen.

@earl-of-trumps saidI'm not defending Hilary. I simply pointed out that Mott was in error when he said that the people had elected Trump. They did not; the EC did.

@earl-of-trumps saidI believe Shav was referring to the most recent impeachment.
