Now you’ve pissed off Pelosi. She’s going to write a really, really stern letter back and maybe insult members of the press who question the concept of self-impeachment. After that, she’ll write another letter threatening litigation if they don’t comply with the subpoena, but offer Trump, continuances, additional time…

Betsy Devos will see absolutely zero repercussions. The DOE will be fined, further reducing the amount of money available to students, which is what Devos wants anyway.

Exactly- we’re supposed to worship at that altar of wall street capitalism because it’s so rational and efficient. The reality is a few spoiled brat bros who aren’t “feeling it” can tip the market to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.

The problem is that it’s unprofessional to diagnose someone without meeting with them personally and having an appropriate consultation. Therefore, no good psychologist would do that, even if they all can call it from 100o miles away.

Yes, the more we “need” Russia, China, SA, UAE, etc. the harder it is to take a stand against their version of imperialism.

Agreed. I figured that Vietnam should have been the ultimate lesson.

a/k/a trolling. 

Exactly. My point is that we have to see out our existing obligations but stop pretending war is easy, and only get involved when we really, really need to (like WWII).

College is well into my rearview mirror, but I have to imagine my psych professors are excited to have such a textbook definition of a narcissist.

Which means we can hire private mercenaries to do more of it ourselves.  Profit! /s

I agree with you, but the key to doing that is to prospectively stop being the world police.

He’ll be out of office before it bites him and that’s all he cares about. The GOP will blame Obama because....reasons, and that will be that. It’s also setting up our next war, which the military industrial complex loves. It’s a win-win for the GOP and warmongers, and isn’t that what matters?

Trump and the GOP have no incentive to do anything about it. If they hack on Trump’s behalf and they win, they’ll act concerned, but talk about how there’s not sufficient evidence of actual vote changes (no amount of evidence will be enough), etc. can’t overturn an election, etc.

Yes. I think he (along with Clinton and the Blue Dog wing) is one of the catalysts of the Dem’s shifts to the right and the meet-them-halfway strategy, no matter where the Republicans position themselves.  It was temporarily effective to win an election, but then spectacularly backfired as Dems became viewed as weak.

And that’s fine. But don’t destroy public lands and archeological sites, expect everyone to steer clear of your photo shoot, get angry when we get in “your” shot, ask for free shit, extort people to get your way, etc.

I’d also add that he’s forgiving her BECAUSE she is going to jail.

You seem to assume that they have shame. They will be shocked and appalled when Democrats do it. The DOJ will investigate and indict them.

If we dedicated some of our military budget used for the ME and Persia to renewables, we wouldn’t have to worry about securing sources of oil so much.

Perhaps also, time out of commission, not earning.
