Impeachment may have blown up in Newts face in the short term, but an aggressive party strategy has worked very well for Republicans in the last two decades. 

The man is raising money off health insurance/health management companies for crying out loud. Does anyone truly think he’s interested in meaningful healthcare reform?

Precisely, you excise tumors as quickly as possible, not allow it to metastasize.

Because you’re going to whine about whatever Splinter writes.

“As someone who frequently argues that the Democrats should pursue a bold, left-wing agenda and try to win elections by meeting people at their material needs, like healthcare and wages and civil rights, I think this is a bullshit reason for avoiding this fight.”

I misspoke, they should impeached him the moment they took the house. Literally the first thing. 

Precisely, lets say Maduro folds in Vzla and gives Trump everything he wants. That would be a HUGE victory for Trump that he will yell about all GE.

Dont make deals to fast track Trump judicial appts in exchange for Republicans good will. Impeach Trump the moment they took the house on the myriad bullshit cons and crimes hes committed already. Dont spend two years embracing Russia hysteria and wait on a Republican, Robert Mueller, to save your ass. Embrace that…

“ If you understand the political strategy here is to make Trump look as bad as possible”

Lol, Nancy will protect the RULE OF LAW with her sarcastic-but-not-really claps. 

Basically they are betting on the Democrats on being wimps. Typically a safe bet, Cotton, lets see if it pays off for them.

“ especially now that most of the things people LIKE about Bernie policy-wise have basically become part of every other candidate’s platform. “

Whats needed is a change in marketing. Lets appeal to that most innate trait all americans share, an unearned sense of exceptionalism. Something along the lines of “If we tried Socialism, we’d be the best at it”. Its crazy enough to work. 

That Navy SEAL is a fucking psychopath

He’s DEFINITELY going to pardon that psycho SEAL that murdered a kid among other crazy things. His base loves that shit. 

China is objectively a better country than the United States. The US has roughly a third of China’s population but has MORE people incarcerated than China. The US has spent the last twenty years destabilizing Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and are about to do it to Iran and Venezuela while China hasn’t really bothered…

Splinter is your number one source for Union bureaucracy drama. Im going to guess the strip club was E11even.

Shut up, libertarian. 

That hasn’t been true for a while, given that no one went to jail for the mid decade financial fiascos or our jaunt into Iraq. Elites never, ever pay for their crimes, indeed they write in get out of jail free cards into our laws. 

Well, no shit. Mueller’s report translating into consequences for Trump always relied on a Congress that would be willing to act in good faith and in the best interests of this country. So don’t hold your breath.
