You can only plead the fifth in a civil trial if it would incriminate you (or you think it might).  I suppose Trump could plead the fifth in his impeachment trial...but that wouldn’t exactly endear him to the senators.  Yes, McConnell could set the trial date for 2021...and that would be interesting, but he has to set…

How is that going to stop him if he’s already able to pop the locks without a key?

McConnell cannot refuse to hold a trial.  If the House votes to impeach, McConnell and the senate must hold the trial.

He can’t.  Impeachment is a constitutional right of the House and Senate.  He can refuse to answer, but he cannot invoke the fifth amendment nor executive priviledge.  There is no priviledge in impeachment.

McConnell can’t refuse to hold a trial. If the House voted to impeach, the senate has to hold the trial. Beyond that, technically speaking there is no “pleading the fifth” in an impeachment trial; it’s not a criminal trial, it is a proceeding to decide to remove an individual from office. Trump can refuse to answer…

Here’s what nobody else seems to be paying attention to: the impeachment process is not quick and it’s not a simple vote for yes or no. Nixon’s impeachment process took 7 months officially, really more of a year and half unofficially. What happens (in broad strokes) is this:

The impeachment process doesn’t mean you just, say “we impeach!” and then hand it off to the senate though. The impeachment process (and it is a process) of Richard Nixon, before his resignation, for example took 7 months. The House would declare the impeachment process begun and would then have the power to subpoena…

I know, I mean he’s paying her well!

I mean...that’s kinda the not so secret secret of horse racing in America isn’t it? For the rich people it’s about funny hats and dressing up in pastel suits like it’s the 70's, but the real money is made on the local hicks who will lay down their last $100 on a horse they know nothing about while they’re blackout…

A Deadspin post about MLS in which they aren’t shitting all over MLS?  Did I step through a portal into another dimension?

Interesting thing to note: Florida has a much higher standard for culpability for serving a drunk than most states.  Basically you need to know that they’re an alcoholic when you serve them; that’s why the lawyer’s statement is so heavy on emphasizing that they knew he was an alcoholic.  Honestly though, it’s a really…

It would help if Lil Rel was actually funny.

It’s just a toddler man, one punch and he’s knocked out cold.  What’s the big deal?

I mean, he’s not wrong about the ticket price hikes being a problem.  But he’s also misdiagnosing the problem (ownership greed) and he’s a self-serving little shit so fuck him.

BECAUSE HE SHOWED HIS DICK TO A TEENAGER!  Now, generally in a relationship I would not speculate or comment on the relationship...but when you showed your dick to dozens of female fans, including underage fans, your motivations become pretty clear.  

It’s a wrestling character he made up, as a joke, called “Sterdust” after WWE pulled some bullshit copyright stuff on a clip he used in a video.  He’s actually become an actual wrestling guy in the south, now just wrestles as himself.

Could have gone with this one too:

I felt this one was more...sexual, but cornflake homunculus is good stuff too.

I mean, union reps are usually people that work in the same workplace...
