I’m sorry but the deficit hawks are the absolute worst. Where did all our money go? Did it vanish into thin air? Who has it now? Why can’t we just take it back?
/troll but not really
The United States defaulting on its debt or not being able to pay future obligations is literally the last thing anyone should worry about.

Well, that's up for debate. And there's evidence showing that the framers designed the exception to "suspend" the president's pardon power while he is being tried during an impeachment case:
Cool. Thanks for that.

Hillary led Obama amongst black voters by nearly 20 points in October 2007. Once they saw him win Iowa, they flipped. If Liz or Kamala win Iowa/NH or take him to a draw, they will absolutely flip.
His numbers decreased after Kamala tore him a new one in the first debate. Inevitability slowly erodes.
I hope so. They have to switch or he's the nominee.

I disagree. Even without removal, impeachment would have significant consequences. First, while the Dems impeaching Trump wouldn't convince everyone that he is guilty, the failure to impeach sends the message that even Dems didn't think his conduct was bad enough to impeach over. That moves public opinion, and is a big reason why Trump is hitting all-time polling highs since the Dems didn't respond to the damming allegations in the Mueller report.
Second, "impeachment hearings in the matter of Donald J. Trump" would have brought massive ratings and attention to his crimes.
Third, Trump loses his pardon power in cases of impeachment. The failure to impeach allows him to continue to obstruct justice by dangling pardons, and maybe even pardon himself.
Fourth, Trump's defense in various lawsuits seeking documents is in part, "they can't get this unless it's pursuant to impeachment hearings." Even if that defense fails, it's helping him run out the clock.
Wat?

It's all about the context and expectations. The Dem leadership killed impeachment as a matter of strategy. That was the big win for Trump, and it happened largely from the malpractice of Nancy Pelosi. The only way that strategy could have been thwarted is by really powerful testimony from Mueller that goes beyond the words of the report. And he has not provided that. He's essentially done no more than confirm quotes from the report, and in very dry, old-man fashion.
It might end up being the correct political strategy.

So, I haven’t been able to watch or keep up with this today except to view headlines, but the media consensus seems to be ... well, they don’t really have an opinion on any of the substance, but they all, right and left, note that Mueller looks and sounds old instead of like Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. So, therefore it’s a big win for Trump and impeachment is off the table.
Is he really that bad, or are we (and our media) just being typically superficial and continuing the slide into a world where nothing matters?
Impeachment will never be off the table.

Well, my Trumpkin sister and brother-in-law have four kids ready to join the fight, two of whom are already old enough to vote, so I don't share your optimism.
If history is any indication, there is an incredibly high possibility that the next president will be a Democrat. Sadly, history also indicates that it probably won't be until 2025.

The Robert Mueller Investigation

I'm gonna post this here as well as the DOTARD thread. The second clip is great. Somebody is irritable.
