Politics - I took the 5th because, well, I'm guilty (Quote) Conservatives, do you really but this BS?... (56 replies).

"I once asked, 'If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?' Now I know the answer to that question. When your family, your company, and all the people in your orbit have become the targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors, and the Fake News Media, you have no choice."
Trump, explaining why he took the 5th

Conservatives, do you really but this BS? What about the reason or aim for an investigation would influence whether someone chose to tell their truth and defend their innocent position? It's the kind of statement made often on shows like To Catch a Predator. The suspect tries to play off the whole encounter by saying he was just dropping over to help someone study, a ludacris explanation that sounds sane to him.

Your guy is guilty and he's going to answer for it. He'll either be convicted of crimes or he'll die a victim and unrealized in greatness, mired in very unflattering press and allegations. I'm not sure which one I hope for.

For trying to make a buck? Still far better than the other guy.

"What are those limits regarding Ukraine? Well, for starters, Zelensky rules much like his adversary, the universally denounced Putin, does. Zelensky shut down all opposition media in Ukraine, then banned opposition political parties. He declared that Russia would have to kill every single citizen of Kyiv to get to him, but also found time to pose for a melodramatic Annie Leibovitz portrait spread for American fashion magazine Vogue. Zelensky also fired the Ukrainian equivalent of the U.S. Attorney General and the head of the CIA, on the very same day, perhaps during breaks from his grandiose photo shoot."

Sounds like what the lefties here are doing too.

@checkoutanytime And I say this knowing there's ample opportunity for you to change the situation any time you're ready - you are an abject ijit.

@checkoutanytime Was that intended as a play on words? Because if so, well done.
