Indeed.

Have we figured out where free markets exist yet?

It's not like there won't be consequences to being an impeached president running for re-election. Yes, the 40% will scream Deep State Coup as they listen to Rush.
The 40% Ds are already aware of his malfeasance. The middle 20% will have to decide if they want to re-elect someone who did all the things outlined in the impeachment hearings.
What are the consequences of an impeached president winning re-election?

The Government Housing Policy led to the crisis.

Basically, the fundamental cause of the crisis was you had banks that extended mortgages that shouldn't have been extended, the government's policies cited above pressed them to.
Nice try though bud.
The government made me do it excuse.

Right. How do you do it? Practically speaking.

Nobody is reading the Mueller report. Hopefully people tune in when he testifies. But I think deep down, most people won't pay close attention and will decide that if the Dems don't impeach, he must not have committed impeachment-worthy offenses.
Most people in this country also believe impeachment means removal.

"The center" they need to stay in to win is on guns and abortion, not on whether detained children should have access to soap and toothbrushes.
But they lost to the center on that particular issue. It sucks, but the game was over. Leadership made the political calculus that passing a bill with funding was better than passing no bill. People are free do disagree with that decision. But more people agreed with it. That's reflected in the vote. That's politics.

I think it's going to be very close. I also think he's going to keep upping the ante with his authoritarian actions. I don't think anyone is going to stop him.
I'd love to know how anyone can actually stop him from a practical standpoint. You can get injunctive relief in the courts, but how do you enforce it?

For the record, Trump is a full blown dictator until the impeachment process begins.
The law is not going to indict him and the courts can not remove him.
He can do whatever the fuck he wants.
Welcome to Authoritarianism.
What will impeachment proceedings do to stop any of that?

The RushFoxHannity brainwashing of the last 3 decades is paying big dividends to Cheeto.
And if he loses in 2020?

I’m still having a hard time that with all this stuff on him, accusations of sexual abuse and rape, and the way he treats people and overall incompetence, he still has at least a 42% approval. Mind boggling.
Cult of personality. That number is never going to change. That's why impeachment won't matter much from a political standpoint.
But they should do it anyway.

We could always tax wealth and redistribute it.
What a wacky idea. It hasn't worked anywhere. /s

I’m really disappointed in Pelosi. The Dems are probably going to lose the House and the Presidency. Who’s leading this ship? What’s the plan?
The House hasn't flipped in a presidential election since 1952.
So they're probably going to keep the House.

Who are these people? We need some purging.
They keep reporting registered voter numbers.
That's not a really good metric.
A ton of voters in 2020 aren't registered at the moment.
But hey, it's news.
Here's how he's really doing. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=rrpromo

by the way, how fucked is it that me, of all posters, is making the argument that the democrats need to move away from the chickenshit center?
i used to make the opposite argument.
I agree 100% that they need to move away from the center.
The political reality is, they do not have a majority in the House without members who won by being in the center.
It fucking sucks.

^ Re: Rs having no shame and bill DOA, you fight.
For what? The fight was over. Democrats bolted. The only other option was no funding for suffering children.

It's on.

They don't have the will, stomach, or desire (or all of the above) to fight.
The legislation you wanted them to fight for was DOA. It wasn't going to pass. Democrats killed it.
Then what?

thanks for making my point.
It's my point, too.
Nancy Pelosi is a badass MF and I want her to be Speaker

As it stands right now, Nancy Pelosi has more to fear from the middle of her caucus than the left. They control more votes.
