Ignorance is Bliss Edition

‘You can’t impeach!’ Trump angrily denies Mueller report turned up evidence of crimes
President Donald Trump continued to insist he committed no crimes, and therefore could not be impeached.
Trump tweeted Monday morning that Democrats had committed unspecified crimes, and vowed to turn the tables on his political enemies after special counsel Robert Mueller turned in his report, which the Department of Justice finally released last week


I would like to know, who exactly, the Dems are afraid of losing by opening impeachment proceedings.

So who? Who would be so offended by the idea of holding a President accountable. - Pam Keith

Trump's Bringing Back Asbestos From Russia!
Some of President Trump’s most cartoonishly evil policy initiatives have come at the expense of the environment. In the past few months alone, his administration has lifted a ban importing big-game hunting trophies, sought to repeal California emissions standards and released a plan to gut the Endangered Species Act. It’s all done in the name of unmitigated capitalism, to which the president clearly feels the environment is beholden. So too, apparently, is the health of Americans, as the Environmental Protection Agency is now allowing asbestos to be legally used in construction.
