  1. So the facts are all there. This is done. Now 53 republicans decide if we have a Constitution or not. Or I guess 20 really. And probably fewer than that because if a few key Senators stand up, others will follow.
  2. I think they're going to settle on "yeah it was a quid pro quo and yeah he wanted an investigation of Bidens specifically but he really believed they were corrrupt and the President should be able to use the tools of our state to compel corruption investigations. He did not have wrongful intent." This is what Kennedy and Cruz floated the other day.
  3. Presumably he got all the time he needed. Agree the rest is a waste of time, makes it looks more political. Leave the questioning to the pro. I didn't get to watch, briefly read about it, did the republicans get any admissions? Do they have anything?
  4. If a lawyer tried making some these arguments in court, they would be sanctioned.
  5. What the fuck does that mean? One was the fucking Ambassador to Ukraine. No firsthand knowledge? Of what? The fucking call that is one act of an elaborate scheme. The deceit by these motherfuckers is outrageous.
  6. I dont know why she would cozy up to Trump now. If you want to run in 2024, you see where the cards fall with Trump. Her doing this now suggests it's about 2020. Pence adds nothing for Trump.
  7. You get the structural changes that the first three priorities represent and the healthcare fight will be easier, though still hard.
  8. The below is appropriate for this discussion. Opportunity is what makes America, America, but it isn't and has never been equally available. We should strive,though, to make it available to all. Also, you can debate equality of opportunity versus outcome but the truth is there's not much difference. No one chooses to be poor.
  9. Another nice response to the Scott Walker tree buffoonery. Also, echoing the post above, who the fuck puts a tree up before Thanksgiving? On a separate subject, I like Jason Kander a lot and hope he's up for running again.
  10. Just finished perusing posts with the name of the supposed whistleblower. Does social media make us stupid or is it just bringing the stupid to light? Seriously, what's the answer for people that do not seem capable of critical thought. Also, could someone explain to me--maybe one of the resident Trumpkins-- how in the hell following statutory whistleblower with a complaint that is deemed credible and urgent, and then corroborated by multiple witness, is treason? What the fuck is wrong with these people? And the numbers. It's absolutely terrifying.
  11. The problem with Buttigieg is how naive he is that he can just go in with this kumbaya work together shit and expect republicans to go along with it. After they recover from the Trump Presidency, they'll refocus on undermining the democratic president. They would eat Pete alive. He's Obama's middle-way technocratic bullshit in a smaller gayer package. Without the same transcendent personal narrative that made Obama a transformative personality, if not a transformative President.
  12. Not sure about the credibility but he might be right on that second bullet there. Technology hasn't been a panacea or anywhere close in education.
  13. And what was released has omissions flagged by someone with first hand knowledge who was then told to keep quiet about it.

  15. The biggest problem with Biden is that he probably wins--though I don't think he's anymoy electable than others--and then the republican party does to him what they did to Obama. A Biden presidency touting this bring the country together/work with republicans bullshit is going to mean republicans retake the Whitehouse in 4 years, probably with someone scarier and more effective than Trump.
  16. Meh. I'd like that hear her thoughts on two Corinthians before passing judgement. And he's 100% fucking her. It's not a coincidence that he finds a faith advisor who looks like all the women he assaults. Again, note all the hypocrites and remember what the republican party did for the rest of your life. These are immoral, wreckless people.
  17. "Here lies Donald J. Trump. No collusion! No quid pro quo! Covfefe! Trump Steaks!"
  18. Yes, she'll go hard on corruption and pushing reforms. Which are gating items for everything she wants to get done. Number one item for any President after Trump should be reforms that ensure that corruption on the level of what Trump has perpetrated never happens again. Warren is uniquely positioned to deliver this message in a general election.
  19. It's one poll and taken in the abstract. Things will look different after a campaign. But yeah, he should be polling at 10% in every state. This is how dumb and/ or corrupt this country is.
  20. Such dishonesty. The call is one party of an elaborate scheme to force Ukraine to support Trump. You need witnesses to understand where the call--the oresi Repeatingthis. Defeating Trump is not enough. Republican party needs to be held responsible for enabling this.
  21. Dems should invite Green shirt guy in for every session.
  22. This been posted yet? Shifting from the "this court is out of order" phase to the "yeah, I did it, so?" phase. Kennedy argued that there are two views on Trump’s actions: that he pushed for an investigation of a political rival; or that he pushed for an investigation of corruption in a country that has a history of missteps — and the request just happened to include the Bidens. Kennedy, an ally of Trump’s, said he expects the president’s lawyers to argue the latter during a Senate trial. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/growing-number-of-gop-senators-consider-acknowledgingtrumps-quid-pro-quo-on-ukraine/2019/11/01/72084a3e-fcc4-11e9-9534-e0dbcc9f5683_story.html John Neely Kennedy Ted Dickface Cruz Remember these traitors' names for the history books. And they both claim to be constitutionalists. Everyone should be outraged.
  23. That's a great speech for Warren. God we need her. I wish Bernie would see the writing on the wall and support the person most likely to deliver what he wants. Hopefully after the early states. The progressive base plus Warren's populist anticorruption message is a winner.
  24. Ha. I emailed them today telling him to drop out and endorse Warren. Glad he listened to the first part.
  25. Well done. I'm concerned about republicans seemingly superior ability to push a narrative--even a false one. If they can do that then the facts may not matter. Near 50% support for removal is encouraging though.
