I know the science that's proven it:

Right-wing authoritarians are people who have a high degree of willingness to submit to authorities they perceive as established and legitimate, who adhere to societal conventions and norms, and who are hostile and punitive in their attitudes towards people who don't adhere to them. They value uniformity and are in favour of using group authority, including coercion, to achieve it.
Right-wing authoritarians want society and social interactions structured in ways that increase uniformity and minimize diversity. In order to achieve that, they tend to be in favour of social control, coercion, and the use of group authority to place constraints on the behaviours of people such as political dissidents and ethnic minorities. These constraints might include restrictions on immigration, limits on free speech and association and laws regulating moral behaviour. It is the willingness to support or take action that leads to increased social uniformity that makes right-wing authoritarianism more than just a personal distaste for difference. Right-wing authoritarianism is characterized by obedience to authority, moral absolutism, racial and ethnic prejudice, and intolerance and punitiveness towards dissidents and deviants.


You can catch up on more of the science here:

Caution: requires reading.

Meanwhile, my analogy between tRump and Blago?

Fits like a glove.

I'm quite certain Laura Ingrahan would say the same thing if Obama was accused of bribery.

Filthy, lying, hypocritical scum at Fox News.

Sweet merciful Lord, they are hanging their hat on "attempted". This administration is killing satire.

He's spent the past decade in a federal pen.

For attempted bribery.

He was caught attempting to "sell" Obama's senate seat after he was elected to the presidency.

Blago, as Illinois governor, was going to appoint a replacement to the senate to fill out Obama's term. For some reason, instead he decided it would be to his advantage to SELL that position to the highest bidder.

He got caught. The "sale" never went through.

He's now a convicted felon serving time for his crime.

What's all this got to do with tRump?

Well, he got caught trying to "sell" congressionally authorized aid to Ukraine in exchange for their president joining in a conspiracy theory and announcing it to the world.

Once he was caught, tRump went ahead and released that taxpayer funded aid.

Bribery is in the constitution as an impeachable offense.
He got the idea from Biden. Not that the hypocritical bots care. Just do as you're told mundane.

Trump has acted this way for his entire adult life. Attempting to divert attention away from this by invoking the Bidens changes nothing.

Prison? You mean where Hillary should be?

Thank you for proving my point Again - He got the idea from Biden. Not that the hypocritical bots care. Just do as you're told mundane.

Of course it does. It proves once again the left is full of mindless, hypocritical bots.
The whistle blower who isn't a whistle blower, an associate of Schiffs, who is a witness against Biden who publicly bragged about doing the same thing Trump is being accused of.

So yea, it matters to those who still have any integrity left. To those who care about the truth and want to see an end to "we can do it but you can't".

Liawatha was right about men, "if you can find one".

Why won't tRump "lock her up!" like he promised?

Why is he so afraid of her?

Just FYI: mundane is an adjective.

Carry on.

Now, back to the topic.

tRump is stuck in a wringer and the off button is out of reach.

The only one mentioning Biden is you.

Well, you and tRump.

Now, I admit Biden isn't exactly known for a strong embrace of the truth-even so, why would he lie and say he did so if he didn't?
Deflection fail.

Now, back to tRump and his impeachment peril.

Yesterday was quite the dumpster fire for tRump and his follwers.

Have you noticed how he attracts criminals into his inner orbit?
