May 6

A 51-R/50-D senate would squash any impeachment ideas, stop any meaningful or in depth oversight, and help keep ShitsHisPants out of prison.

BlueSky Liberal In Texas May 6 #16

Thanks. Yes, I could use a search engine, but I believe posters should provide links when possible. TheRickles May 6 #17

I just assume all posted memes are fake, unless accompanied by a source. Saves a lot of time. :-) n/t thesquanderer May 6 #20

I don't assume they're *all* fake, but I assume a lot of them are, and it's getting hard to tell which ones are which. ShazzieB May 6 #65

Where in the rules around here is it a responsibility to provide a link? Liberal In Texas May 6 #21

Not a rule, more a matter of courtesy and consideration. TheRickles May 6 #24

So, it's not a "responsibility." Liberal In Texas May 6 #25

It's an unwritten rule Polybius May 6 #62

Personally, I always put a link on anything I post that is from an external source Liberal In Texas May 7 #77

No, it is unwritten, as seen in all of the negative responses Polybius May 7 #87

BUT it's not REQUIRED! Liberal In Texas May 7 #89

The ones who said it was required were clearly wrong Polybius May 7 #92

I dunno Cirsium May 6 #56

Thanks for this helpful info! ShazzieB May 6 #60

My pleasure Cirsium May 6 #61

So you're saying Hannity is lying about Rump's offer and just made up the bribe himself? Seriously? LymphocyteLover May 6 #67

Seriously Cirsium May 7 #72

Hannity is a well-known liar and propagandist., Nonetheless, this is not the type of thing I see him making up LymphocyteLover May 7 #78

obviously there's a lot going on but the POTUS offering a bribe to a Senator to switch parties seems significant LymphocyteLover May 6 #68

Sure Cirsium May 7 #70

"He's gonna run as a Republican, he's gonna have our full support, more money than he ever dreamed of" LymphocyteLover May 7 #79

OK Cirsium May 7 #83

it used to be basically the same, like quid pro quo. SCOTUS weakened the definition of bribery though. LymphocyteLover May 7 #90
