According to a poll conducted by two academic authors and published by The Washington Post, 52 percent of Republicans said they would back a postponement of the next election if Trump called for it.

If Trump and congressional Republicans proposed postponing the election to ensure only eligible citizens could vote, support from Republicans rises to 56 percent.

Pollsters found 47 percent of Republicans think Trump won the popular vote.

    It is not a crime to lie under oath when the bastards who are trying to bring you down are trying to force you to lie under oath. Basic principle of the fifth Amendment to the Constitution of of the not Republican contards who seem to not understand what America is, what it stands for, and why it could have been an example to the world. But, you had to go and elect Berlusconi, didn't you? Trump cannot lie under oath, because he is incapable of knowing what an oath is. He cannot lie under oath, or any where else, because he has no idea what truth is. Trump is so dumb, that if the leader of North Korea trolled him, Trump would fall for it, and has fallen for it. So take your "Clinton" stuff and stuff it up your ass, because the sheer weight of the fake newsiness of it might just protect you from a nuclear blast. Although, I doubt it.

    Fuck, is that just some of the most stupid logic I've ever seen in my entire life. Just fucking shut up, you incredible idiot. You don't deserve to speak considering how dumb your opinions are.

      Now, now, now - don't try to censor the poor unfortunate learning impaired bobble head. Let him talk. Maybe we can lure him down the road to the hog farm, and he can sweet talk the old sows with his free speech. Hell, we can promise him tons of bacon, if he'll just jump into the back of the pickup. I don't suppose he'll ever find his way home. Besides, why would he leave? All those conversational partners, all on his level!

      How could you possibly know this? Evidently sarcasm and satire fly right by you undetected. Any call me stupid? And if this really is the "most stupid logic" you've ever seen, you must be rather young, and stupid. And I am in South Carolina, there is a law now that says you cannot tell me to shut up. So you shut up, you polymorphously perverse endocrinite!

    No, perjury remains a felony. There is no legal exemption for people who have enemies.

      Unless you consider being found not-guilty an exemption...

        I do not. Just because Clinton's allies in Congress were sufficiently numerous to prevent Clinton's conviction of the crime by Congress doesn't mean that he didn't commit the crime. As it turns, he had to pay a $90,000 fine and lost his Arkansas law license for five years for committing perjury in court (but agreeing to a lesser civil penalty).

          So you'll 100% support Trump's impeachment whether he's found guilty or not? I mean he's got all his allies in Congress ready to keep this crazy train rolling.

          What's good for the goose amirite?

              High Crimes and Misdemeanors? That is what the Constitution says. Why do you hate the Constitution, khallow?
