If he wouldn't have thrown in great and unmatched wisdom I would totally agree with you.
This is some DARPA level bait.
This is Q clearance bait

Can a member of Congress be impeached? I don't think there has ever been a definitive answer to that through any court proceeding.
However, even though they have some immunity while in session against arrest, the House is in recess till Oct. 15th, aren't they?
Hmmmmm.

1. A Congress member is exempted from arrest while attending a session of the body to which the member belongs, excluding an arrest for treason, breach of the peace, or a felony, or;
2.A Congress member is exempted from arrest or interrogation for any speech or debate entered into during a legislative session.

It seems to me that congressional immunity really isn't very strong at all. It only appears to protect them against arrests for misdemeanors.

AFM, this one is pretty clear in intent. The idea, which pertains to the POTUS as well, is to prevent folks from being "detained" or "arrested' to prevent them from doing their job - voting on legislation primarily.
It is to prevent a Coup based on "orange man bad" syndrome via arrest him to get him out. Of course this leaves assassination as the means... (as the world turns)
The idea that anyone could be looking at this any other way is obscene. The intent was honorable, the adherence to the intent is the only honorable thing.
The Talib statement is beyond ignorant, hateful, and treasonous frankly. Then again there are an awful lot of reports of folks "swatting" "false allegations" "faked police reports" concerning those who just hate another and want the Government to deal with it for them.
Built in 537 by the Byzantine emperor Justinian, Hagia Sophia—which means “divine wisdom” in Greek—was at the heart of religious life in the Byzantine Empire until the conquest of Istanbul by Ottoman Turks in 1453
Of course, there are Orthodox who strongly dislike President Erdogan, not because they are Turkish, but because they hate his threat that the Church of the Holy Wisdom in Istanbul, for long a tourist site, may yet again become a mosque.

For those playing at home Rick Perry leaving in November means his job is done. His position gave him Q clearance and complete and total unfettered access to literally almost anything. And then he was the designated Survivor at the last State of the Union Address giving him even further clearance to get briefings that he wouldn't have access to otherwise.
He would have access to all of the u-1 all of the energy Shenanigans being played all over the world by corrupt Crooks. All the slush funds and shell games and Bs.
And then Trump drops the fact that he's the one who told them to make the Ukraine phone call.
Why do they make Isis?
Billion dollar deals.
Gas/oil Pipelines
No name.

Hopefully they won't try to start Armageddon to save their asses

Reports of the Turkish already bombing the Kurdish border.
