Washington Post

Wow, “conservative” columnist Jennifer Rubin. To think that she’s not undisputedly the worst columnist at the Washington Post is really saying something. It’s real and it’s beautiful.

Tying themselves in knots to convince you that Trump is disqualified.




The fear is palpable

So the 5th amendment shouldn’t apply to politicians?

What an idiot.

So exercising a literal called out constitutional right that is perfectly legal should be a disqualifier?

fricking wow.

I think all Trump people should answer every question. No taking the fifth. Just answer " I cannot recall at this time".

So using the rights described in the Bill of Rights should disqualify a US citizen from elected office? Absurd.

Rubin should just write that “being named Donald Trump should disqualify a person from elected office” and be done with that tactic.

I am convinced that the government has spiked the water in these Dem strongholds. How else to explain the rampant stupidity?

I immediately disregard anything from Wapo as commie propaganda.

If taking the 5th disqualifies you from office, lying in a court proceeding or as a witness to a Congressional investigation should also disqualify you from office or any Federal government position.

Let’s get it set up. I’m on board.

Let’s be clear. The Clintons do not plead the 5th. They just lie.

Her profile picture looks like a cross between an 1800s face and someone whose idea of fun is a Tuesday morning knitting club. Her opinions, well, everyone else has pretty much covered those already.

Just imagine the pretzel your mind has to be in for you to believe that an enumerated Constitutional right should disqualify one from holding a Constitutional office.

Trump broke Jennifer, bigly.

It's hilarious to watch corporate media parade around people like Rubin, Navarro, Scott, and Kristol as if they're going to convince average Americans that they're what "real conservatives" look like


The only people who buy that bullshite are people like tigerdoc and spleen

She also thinks not letting the military take up residence in your home should also disqualify you.

Seriously though, in this day and age, our 5th amendment right is one of the most valuable we have. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, do not talk to police or any other authorities. JUST DON'T DO IT. You have nothing to gain. I don't care what they tell you, you have nothing to gain. Every single person in the country, if they are a defendant and asked to testify should take the 5th. Every time without fail. I cannot fathom why anyone would ever testify or talk to police. They will try to scare you. Don't do it.
