Here's the real problem.....I doubt that prison, and getting nailed up the ass, and sucking dick for cigs, are much deterrent for old Roger. Shit, this is a real life "please don't throw me in that briar patch" moment.

Racism is alive and well in 2019
Alive and well? It's literally one of our fucking core values, embedded in the goddamned White House.
That's like saying that that "being an aggy fan is alive and well" in the Rick Perry residence. It's his fucking brand.

What were you googling, recently deceased autistic meteorologists?
What’s really interesting is that meant he only had to change one word from his typical porn search. You figure out which word.-

Ask the Supremes to see if they want to intervene. If they choose not to, then that's it; the House gets his returns.
No, they don't.
He will just refuse to comply with the court's decision and orders. That's where we are.

KUT just ran a series of Austin man on the street bits and most didn’t want anything to do with talking to reporter. A couple seemed reluctant about impeachment. A couple were ready to go. If that’s the temperature gonna be a long row to hoe.
Oh, it's going to be a long row to hoe indeed. We're collectively too stupid to deserve this freaking birdsnest on the ground we have been given* -- huge country, incredible natural resources, protected from foreign wars by oceans on each side.
Franklin framed the issue correctly -- what we created was "a Republic, if you can keep it."
We've answered that rather resoundingly -- we can't. We're entering the end-stage. And we're doing it with the passionate glee that only ignorance and stupidity can support.
* given, taken from the original inhabitants, who we genocided the shit out of, why quibble?

I wish the Democrats knew how to go for the jugular.
The GOP strategy of continuing to collaborate with foreign powers and destroying the rule of law works really, really well....until it doesn't. Then, there won't be any "Democrats" - it will just be people. And they'll go for more than the jugular.
Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered. The GOP is not heeding the inherent warning of that adage. Their path ends in shit like the guillotine. It's stupid as hell. But they're hell-bent on pursuing it full-speed ahead.

Your comparison breaks down along one important point: Black people were correct in that "the other side" had been getting away with it for decades, even centuries.
But the GOP thing that Tom brings up, "the other side" haven't been getting away with anything. EDIT: because they havent' been doing anything they need to get away with.
Oh, I thought I clarified it by referring to the GOP's beliefs as insane. You are correct, that's a big difference. But the psychology at the end of that is the same -- whether you're actually getting a shitty deal, or you've deluded yourself into thinking you got a shitty deal, the conclusion is the same -- "getting away with it" yourself is sweet, sweet revenge.
We're run by a band of deranged nutbars.

I know Dems are going to take the L on impeachment and removal.
I just hope that L doesn't linger and result in another one next November. A re-elected Trump would be a nightmare.
We can only try.
If our country decides to self-immolate, we can't stop that.
If the GOP successfully follows the path of voter disenfranchisement, voter intimidation, and cooperation with foreign interference, then we will lose. That will also mean that we no longer live in a functioning republic under the rule of law. And if the rule of law no longer applies, it no longer applies. We the people will then have to decide what that means. Spoiler alert: it rarely means anything that doesn't end quite messily.
You know how I'm betting it goes.

I mean I completely agree with your analysis. 100%. But then what? Would you have them not make their case for impeachment? The President and his minions competed an impeachable act. You make the case in the House exactly like they are today. You have solid, credible witnesses tell their story for all of America to see. You make the case as best you can as clearly as you can. Simple. Then the vote is whatever the vote is.
The alternative is to let slide an impeachable offense due to political calculation. Maybe I'm too much of an idealist, but you take the L if that is the end result for the system and hope that the public vote of R's and Trump's second term vindicates that L historically.
I agree with this. We have to run the play, because goddamit, it's the right thing to do.
You remember To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus Finch tried one HELL of a case. He was right. Tom Robinson was innocent. He deserved acquittal, and justice.
But Atticus knew -- like we know now -- that the jury would never do justice. He knew the whole time. He knew from opening statement to closing argument. He knew that the facts and evidence didn't matter. The jury was going to do what it was going to do.
The reader knows that it's a great wrong. The reader wants Atticus to win, but knows all along that he surely won't.
Atticus offered some wisdom that fits the current circumstances:
QuoteThose are twelve reasonable men in everyday life, Tom’s jury, but you saw something come between them and reason. You saw the same thing that night in front of the jail. When that crew went away, they didn’t go as reasonable men, they went because we were there. There’s something in our world that makes men lose their heads—they couldn’t be fair if they tried.
QuoteI wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
We the People are going to take the L on this one.....because the party in power has something between them and reason (power, greed, venality). And they couldn't be fair if they tried. We aren't going to win. But we're going to write the book. Because maybe someday, there will be people who read it and are as disgusted by wrongdoing as they should be. And shit, write the book for no other reason than that it's more wrong than to just go along and allow an unjust result without even putting up a fight.

I have a developing theory that where there is a massive, poverty-stricken and uneducated (literally no education) underclass, as in much of South America and Russia, for example, autocrats appeal and "moar autocrat" makes lots of sense to that underclass.
A sound hypothesis. Which rings quite true across the board......

Did he bring his things in a Fjallraven backpack, too?
Know how I know you have a teen daughter?
Sigh. Mine carries it as her every day backpack. Her German and Norwegian friends were wearing them two years ago, so she jumped on that trend.-

So, now we will hear testimony that Bolton, Pence, and others urged withholding from Ukraine until they became convinced he was committed to fighting corruption.
Sure, Gym.
What I want to hear is someone make the very important distinction:
The withholding of aid was not on the condition that Ukraine actually investigate Biden.
It was on the condition that Ukraine PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE that it was investigating Biden.
The action required was not "investigate" but rather "announce." That pretty much sinks the bullshit ship of "Trump wanted to fight corruption." I mean, nevermind that 1) Congress already found that Ukraine qualified for the aid, and 2) the Pentagon itself determined that Ukraine had cleared all necessary anti-corruption hurdles. Bust these fuckers on their baldfaced lie. Do it.

What's your take on this as a whole? [mention=248]TwiceHorn[/mention]
Is Castor just running through a script loosely framed as questions?
Yes. -
Did not take it as one. I don't need the hassle or harm to my career from diming out a judge.
This.
Like it or not, that’s just a reality - a lawyer who picks a fight with a judge will be looked at askance by the bench for the rest of his career. -
But....but....Deans dips are the dean of dips!

Some private/alternative options:
Sulphur springs camp near Colorado bend. Private campsites, should allow a campfire.
Tejas camp on lake Georgetown. Army corps lake, setup campsites near the parking lot, built in fire rings. The river is really cool there.-

One of the least complicated dishes on here, but man...I want that sashimi. -
Is that why you run screaming in to every thread about military coups to howl about how bad the democratically elected presidents are? Seems inconsistent.I don't like authoritarian anti-democratic regimes.
What leftist regimes have killed millions in South America?Murder of millions by leftist regimes (of which history has a rather impressive scorecard) -- A-OK.(When did I ever say any of it was OK?)
Why are you downplaying right-wing violence when the worst dictators in South America's history are all right-wing military dictatorships supported by the US to fight Communism? Seems either historically ignorant or purposefully misleading on some Ben Shapiro shit.Right wing violence and murder (history fills some pages with this shit, too) -- not just wrong, but actually proof that being to the right of center is evil.Pinochet, Batista, Somoza? No? Anyone?
——————————-
(Quoted the above, Tapa is odd)
“Democratically elected” means jack shit when a leader controls the apparatus of the state. Which presidents for life do. Plenty of authoritarian leaders are “democratically elected.” A willingness to leave the office, and not monkey with the constitution repeatedly to favor your continued reign, are a good baseline.
Leftist regimes in Latin America are no fucking angels. Cuba has killed and imprisoned a shitload of dissidents. The Mexican revolution saw significant wholesale murder of “counter revolutionaries” (they tried to get my family, we made it to Del Rio). Seriously, my own fucking family fled leftist death squads in Latin America.
And of course, my criticism wasn’t limited to Latin America. If you aren’t willing to acknowledge the millions killed by China, the DPRK, the Soviet Union, Pol Pot, that’s your fucking problem.
I won’t downplay right wing violence - I particularly wont downplay our own shameful fucking involvement in it (cough, Operation Condor). But I will maintain my position that wing ideology has little to do with being murderous shitbags. Instead, authoritarian, anti-democratic rule is the greatest common denominator.
Sorry your idols are so disappointing.

lol that’s a lie
Hell...let’s pretend it isn’t.
29.5% of Americans have an arrest record (that percentage includes both convictions and felony arrests with no conviction).
Presuming his number of around 54,000 is correct...there are 700,000 DACA recipients.
So....7.7% have an arrest record. Thats about 1/4 the rate of Americans as a whole. DACA recipients are much more likely to be good citizens than a randomly selected American, including the Trump base.
Thanks for making the argument for us, DOTUS. I’d much rather have a DACA recipient living next to me than a Trump supporter. They’re MUCH less likely to be a criminal. And they’re almost certainly much MORE likely to be gainfully employed and contributing to society.
Statistics are a bitch, you fucking simpleton shitsmear.

I don't know if that makes up for all the negatives. Just wanted to make sure the ledger accurately reflected all entries, that's all.
