  1. THEN ACT LIKE YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS Pelosi’s job is to get trump out office as quickly as possible. Impeachment would not get him out of office. Her job is not to get a constitutional medal. Impeachment only matters if the senate will remove or if it will help trump lose an election. If you get your impeachment... what happens? How does that affect trump’s reelection? Where do we put these constitutional medals?
  2. You and other folks here are under the impression that Pelosi is responsible for trump remaining in office.
  3. FYI for folks: removal of potus requires 2/3 of the senate. This isn’t anything new. This means that the House can’t remove a sitting president no matter what. This means that several GOP senators would have to support removal.
  4. Why do you have a painting of a poisoned dog in a blue dress hanging in your house? Is that evidence of something?
  5. There are two rules related to targeting that result in ejection. Only one of them is about a defenseless player. The other is rule 9-1-3 targeting and making forcible contact with the crown of the helmet
  6. FYI: the daily mail isn’t a reliable publication. it is just as likely to be a made up story to inject into right wing discussions the Clinton-Epstein link.
  7. A lot of people want Comey to be a bad actor because it fits their narrative. Either to support their deep state fantasy, their questions on the birth or the Russia investigation, to blame him for trump winning, to protect trump from the obstruction accusation, or just to ignore his message - they don’t like the idea that someone would introduce the idea of moral duty into our justice system. Some folks want to label him a grifter just wanting to sell books. Other folks want to label him a guy “wanting to elevate his career” whatever that means.
  8. If the Alfa/trump tower connection was “debunked,” why is most of the section of 302 redacted? What sensitive information could there be if something is “debunked?”
  9. A way to look at mass shootings/murder is by frequency and magnitude. Death per minute is a metric to understand magnitude. Rate of fire, caliber, capacity, etc. all have an influence on the magnitude of these mass shootings.
  10. Is there a similarity between “muh guns” and “muh tendies?” A person on a couch in a basement might feel that they have a right to tendies for dinner. Anything that threatens that right triggers an outcry of emotion, fear, and threat to their identity.
  11. We need to: - elect progressives - reform campaign finance, get the gun lobby out of DC - expand the fairness doctrine to cable news, neuter Fox - implement a licensing system: only those that have a demonstrated need for semi-automatics can possess one - implement a registration and buy back system: track or remove semi-autos from the population
  12. Guys. Everyone knows it was the fault of all the mean lefties saying mean things to all the gop victims
  13. No one is saying that dipshit. Fallacy of extremes and a strawman. Logical fallacies are a sign of weak position. If your position is weak, change it
  14. Episode 5 of conspiracyland focuses on fox’s amplification of the Seth Rich conspiracy. https://podtail.com/podcast/conspiracyland/
  15. CULTURE WAR!!!!!! don’t worry about about corporate and high earner tax cuts, booming deficits, citizen’s United, net neutrality, unaffordable healthcare and childcare, open corruption by the admin, and unsecure elections
  16. This. There is huge voter block in the US that is incapable of holding GOP politicians accountable. That voter block has been captured by right wing propaganda and the “culture war” to support politicians that act counter to their interests. The classic Fox News, talk radio propaganda has become amplified further into crazy and conspiracy as the online, Facebook, psyops, Cambridge Analytica stuff has taken off.
  17. Facebook is one of the many reasons we need campaign finance reform. There is no appropriate reason that the fucks are still unregulated
  18. Fresh Air episode with Jan Mayer where she breaks down what happened to Franken https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/2019/07/25/745252157/fresh-air-for-july-25-2019-journalist-jane-mayer-on-the-accusations-against-sen?showDate=2019-07-25
  19. No one should be laughing and this isn't some big offensive step. They are simply doing what they need to in order to get information from the administration and DOJ
  20. I agree immigration currently is not a winning issue for Dems. This is sad but very true. Immigration is red meat to Trump/Bannon's version of identity politics. The emotional fear and tribalism triggered by immigration is a powerful issue. Look at what is has done across Europe. I don't know yet if impeachment is a winning or losing issue for the Dems. I'm hoping more crimes pop-up, hopefully from trump's finances, and impeachment can become a winning issue.
  21. No dude. She just gave you her number. You haven’t called it yet and don’t even know if it’s a real number.
  22. This appears to be so the courts will provide the house judiciary committee the grand jury materials associated with the redacted mueller report
  23. To add to this, what is the audience for all of this? Who is the focus of this politik calculus? Does it have to do with a small slice of voters in a few swing states? The slice labeled “undecided”? Cambridge Analytica would label the “persuadables” for those that have seen The Great Hack
  24. You are asking the right questions. How does impeachment in the house influence the 2020 election? How does impeachment timing affect it? What about impeachment that includes financial crimes? Where, in the calculus of all of those variables, can me maximize the potential to win the game and remove potus?
  25. I also was not using ‘friend’ ironically. And at the same time I am dismissing the notion that we need to act now, that we have to have impeachment now, that we need to satisfy the feelings of angst toward our current situation, that we need to succumb to desperation. I understand you want impeachment because of the uncertainty. Ideally, calls for impeachment would be based on it increasing the chances trump loses in 2020. Those calls should be based political calculus. I don’t know the answer to that calculus however trump wanting impeachment while Nancy holding steady carries a lot of weight in my mind. If you need something to focus on, look to the status of subpoenas in the courts and the status of receiving trump’s financials. No impeachment will occur until financials are obtained. Why would anyone feel that trump losing 2020 is a sure thing? Why would anyone think standing pat is what would do it?
