lots of greasy sleight of hand in this article, not least the inferrence that ukraine and russia are somehow in cahoots to help trump even tho they’re, you know, literally at war with each other. but hey they’re all perfidious slavs so who cares right.

also buries a concession right at the end that at most this impeachment could be little more than a stern telling off.

The Democrats starting an impeachment investigation of Trump appears to have some ramification for the Republican nominations in the 2020 Presidential campaign.

Three candidates have come out of the woodwork:

  • Joe Walsh, the former Illinois congressman, who has been very outspoken about Trump’s behaviour
  • Bill Weld, the former Massachusetts governor, who called the president’s pressure on Ukraine “treason”
  • Mark Sanford, the former South Carolina governor, who has been a bit more restrained in his criticism.

Until last week, the Republican primary challengers added up to a curiosity. There was no electoral coalition that could defeat the sitting president in a party primary. Yet the Ukraine saga is the first in some time that’s rattled congressional Republicans. The vast majority of them are ready to defend Trump, but some cracks are starting to appear in their united front.

I think I’d prefer Trump to be president rather than a member of The Eagles

The book, by two New York Times journalists, says Mr Trump suggested extreme methods of deterring migrants from crossing the southern border.

They included building an electrified, spiked border wall and a snake or alligator-infested moat.

he really is getting his ideas from cartoon villains isn’t he
