Trump: I'm King of All I Can Corrupt, not Just GOP

First Trump extorts an investigation. Then he'll demand that it leads to "conviction"... that any nation on the globe MUST lie for him, just like Fox News, Hannity and Republicans do. He thinks he is King if the world, and that he can corrupt the entire globe to serve him.

so I went to your link, it's a Max Boot op-ed so on the right I get a menu of the top 5 stories in "Opinion" and it's not on there, but this one with a very similar message, analysis by Aaron Blake, is #2 most popular:

‘Where is the line?’: A Joni Ernst town hall questioner sums up the GOP’s Trump dilemma

I hope the woman doesn't vote for Joni again after that boilerplate bs response.

There is obviously no line for Republicans when it comes to truth, the law or Trump. Trump has showed those not in the Fox News cult and who are paying even just a little attention, the GOP is a corrupt Party of lying hypocrites from top to bottom.

Impeachment trial may be partly political, but Senators not supposed to partake in that?

OIC; Painter may have been inspired here by the big cheese: McConnell vows to block Trump impeachment in fundraising pitch

By Jordain Carney @ TheHill.com, 10/04/19 10:57 AM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) reelection campaign is seizing on the fight over impeachment, pledging in Facebook ads that he will lead Republican efforts to stop President Trump from being removed from office.

"Nancy Pelosi's in the clutches of a left wing mob. They finally convinced her to impeach the president. All of you know your Constitution, the way that impeachment stops is a Senate majority with me as majority leader," McConnell says in an ad that began running on Thursday. "But I need your help. Please contribute before the deadline," McConnell continues in the ad [....]
