When a scandal threatens the PM, standard UK political policy is to find a scapegoat and pin everything on them even if it makes no sense to. Does that happen in America often too?

More than 370 former federal prosecutors have signed on to a letter stating that the evidence contained in the Mueller report would have led to multiple felony indictments if he were not the president and they say it's not even a close call - Trump easily meets the standard. These individuals stretch back from every administration since Eisenhower.

We need to be aware of the scope of the national emergency that faces us and why it is utterly necessary to begin impeachment proceedings even if they won't succeed. The current president is a multiple felon and those felonies deal explicitly with him abusing the powers of the presidency for personal gain. If that's not impeachment worthy then what is? Currently the Republicans in Congress and the Attorney General are actively working to undermine the system of justice that could bring him to account.
Yeah we are getting ready to vote to hold the US Attorney General in contempt of congress for ignoring subpoenas. We're definitely going....somewhere.

BOOK: Obama Took 2016 Election as ‘Personal Insult,’ Blamed Hillary’s ‘Soulless, Scripted Campaign’
Maybe the New York Times White House Correspondent Peter Baker is just a complete lying sack of crap or perhaps President Obama and others in his administration did really think that's part of the reason Clinton lost.
Shill all you want but Hillary could have made different choices. As far as VP goes President Obama chose someone who was seen as much more experienced in Government than he was which mollified people who mentioned his relative lack of experience. Hillary could have done the same thing by choosing someone who was a noticeably left of her positions rather than choose Tim Kaine who in some ways was to the right of her. WT actual F?!?!
If your reply is going to be base AF shill screed don't bother. Politics isn't like kids sports where everyone is a winner just for showing up.

Hillary could have easily have mitigated it. It's a given that people who voted for Trump were gullible as human feces.
yet even mentioning that Hillary made mistakes is just verboten to some.

What does Hillary's campaign have to do with illegal activity by the President and partisan failure to hold him to account for it? The election is long over. None of this has fuckall to do with Hillary.

This is a profoundly misguided argument. There is no question that Hillary could have and should have done things better.
However, there were a dozen other candidates in the republican primary, yet republicans voted for Trump in the primaries, and republicans voted for Trump in the general election. Republicans saying Hillary should have done more is like drunk driver saying his buddies should have done more to stop him from driving drunk and wrecking his car. No. He chose to drink that night, and he chose to drive while drunk. Yeah, maybe his buddies should have better friends and done more, but in the end, the responsibility lies with the individual who chose to drink and drive and no one else.

I'm beginning to have second thoughts on Impeaching Trump at this time. If the House votes to Impeach and the Senate does not, Trump is going to yet again declare himself Cleared of wrongdoing. Of course that would be ridiculous and only the ignorant or sycophants would fall for it, but people keep falling for it, so...
That said, keep tossing everyone else around him in Jail/Out of power who are involved in his shit and people are going to start putting 2 and 2 together. That will also make it increasingly difficult for Trump to insulate himself as fewer people are going to want to be associated with him.
If he wins in 2020 and the Dems win the Senate, nail his ass to the wall.

Not there yet. Trump's approval rating just ticked up to 46% per Gallup. Americans are fine people.

Not cherry picking, just pointing out that his rating was trending up despite all the obstruction and shenannigans he is pulling. Granted this poll was conducted the day before Mueller's letter was made public, so we'll have to see how that affects it and how the 400+ former prosecutors thing affects it, but still, for it to be trending up at all is just depressing.And his polling averages are still in the same range they are always in.
Not sure why people cherry pick polls. What’s the point?
We don't need guns. We could just quit buying shit we don't need and bring the economy and country to its knees. The government might not give a shit about us individuals but when businesses and investors start complaining the politicians will listen.
Trump was better at lying than all of those other Republican candidates... that doesn't make your characterization of my statements as "profoundly misguided" correct no matter how much you wish it to be so.
I wasn't aware that President Obama was a registered Republican either....
