Palin wasn't THAT long ago, although it feels that way lol.

Allows them to introduce new errors if they don't like the ones they have?

To be fair, it’s because they were stealing from even richer, more connected people. When a college is looking to sell a spot, they have an incentive to sell it to the highest bidder behind closed doors. Since colleges argue that one kid getting in doesn’t mean another kid doesn’t, the real victims when a coach is…

Oh, that's good.  I don't feel super strongly about Federal abortion funding, but actually opposing it isn't the side of that hill I want to be fighting on.

Also isn’t he pretty squishy on abortion, like opposing Federal funding for abortions and waffling on it being a sin?

Although it was the governor of PA who blocked more kids from benefitting. I don’t know enough about the issue, and I generally distrust Trump and the Pa legislature, but parents and kids having choices seems superficially good to me.

There is an interesting case for breaking up California, it is pretty big.

In fact

He was in contempt of the Senate, I don’t think that implies that the House lacks similar authority. I don’t believe that they are a subservient to the Senate in investigative authority.  And relying on Mitch McConnell should really be a last resort in my opinion.

Who there was executive?  The Senate Sargent is under Congress I think.  The courts do get a say, but they should get a say.  I'm not saying Congress has the right to indefinitely detain people without recourse to the courts.  I think that the precedent decided in MacCracken stands though.

That did indeed take me like a minute.

That sounds about right. I am from PA, and WaWa was there for me with a tasty sub when I had a hangover. It didn’t have Doritos on it,,, but I won’t knock it till I have tried it, other than on the health aspect, on which it is clearly trolling anyway.

Hm, that is very interesting if it's true.  Have a citation for that?

Congress is not in fact toothless under the law. They have their own police and can jail people for contempt of Congress, Chelsea Manning style. Congressional subpoena are no joke, unless the people serving them are. And if they don’t have the nerve for that, ya, throw it to the courts. It’s their duty not to ignore…

Maybe.  I mean, assuming AOC questioning Bolton and Trump and crew under oath would be boring and uncover nothing embarrassing, which seems like a big if to me.  But ya, if after a thorough investigation the house decides not to impeach they look like honest brokers, not partisan hacks.  I mean, I feel like Trump is…

I guess. I live in a district that may well go for Trump again, and I fail to see how tossing Mitch McConnell a softball he didn’t even have to swing at helped protect the majority. Symbolism, on the other hand, would help. I didn’t watch the State of the Union, but it sounds like it was MOSTLY symbolism. People liked…

Because of all the awful and criminal things Trump has done, she decided to restrict the impeachment to his trying to get a public investigation of Hunter and Joe Biden. Defending the rights of top Democratic leadership not to be investigated when foreign oligarchs give hundreds of thousands of dollars to their…

The ultimate failure of the impeachment isn’t her fault, but that she played it in such a way that it helped Trump and tanked Biden seems hard to praise.  And I was hoping someone would tank Biden.

I don’t know, exaggerating how violent and misogynistic you are feels like fair game for criticism to me. I would mock someone boasting about money they don't have also.

My read is that he was tossing you guys a softball on purpose.
