As usual dems roll over to Rs for absolutely nothing. Vote for witnesses and the skip the entire thing? Sure, great deal made, I’m sure the Rs will play nice from now on. I also thought that while they needed 2/3 for convicting a simple majority vote would allow trump to be disqualified? Heard that somewhere…

All three officers’ widows. One was killed, and two died by suicide.

Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial was way longer.  For lying about a blow job.

The Democrats wanted to call one witness, so the GOP threatened to bring in hundreds. That witness, however, is very much wanting to speak up so I expect her to be in the media in the coming week explaining exactly what went down to a wider audience.

CALL THE FUCKING WITNESSES YOU COWARDS!!! Having testimony from Officer Goodman, Sicknick’s widow, etc, McCarthy, ETC.

Unreal how they caved after getting a fucking gift. Then this defeat lap afterwards where Raskin chickens out and then Pelosi makes an appearance...the Democrats are going to get shellacked next year…

So much for Biden’s “No assholes” policy... unless getting suspended suddenly became synonymous with being fired...?

The difference between Joss Whedon and Louis CK is that Whedon actually made things that I enjoyed, while Louis CK I never thought was funny. I always thought he was an asshole. 20 years ago I had no idea Whedon was the dick he’s now coming out to be and I was enjoying the TV shows and movies he made.

So your main takeaway from her post is that she writes funny, not that there was some (at the least) creepy shit going on that they had to make a rule like that in the first place? She was like 14 years old.

She said “He’s not allowed in a room alone with Michelle again” which sounds like it was after a specific event, not based on an existing rule.

Welp, I was looking for some kind of explanation, and that seems pretty damn plausible. Mystery solved, haha.

Double tap space bar for period and she didn't reread/bother to edit is my guess

To be fair, Republicans have always wanted to scrutinize young girls genitals. Now they just want a legal reason to do it.

WTF? I mean, I know the cruelty is the point with these people but when you’re trying to legalize scrutinizing a child’s genitals, you need to sort out your life and never be in a position of power. Ever. 

What are the statistics for high school trans students and how many of them actually want to play sports? I see people getting worked up over trans students being able to play as they identify and it seems like a non issue to me. I don’t know if I’m saying it like I’d like to but it seems like they are freaking out…

former Vice President Mike Pence spoke at his memorial service

A devotee of a sky wizard was a prick you say? A liar and a hypocrite? A predator willing to do or say what he needed to in order to fulfill his desires?

And they’re very desirable tools for controlling a voting block. The GOP knew back with the Tea Party bullshit what these choads wanted--white supremacy and plenty of it--but Dump was the perfect conduit to channel that shit without getting it on their own shoes, until now.

I agree with a lot of this; I remember reading an interview with a survivor, and she said Jonestown was the first place in her entire life where she could walk down the street “without little old white ladies calling me n****r.”

I assume the main goal at this point is to prove boldly and irrefutably that the GOP is either in Dump’s pocket or under his thumb when they acquit, and thus are violating their oaths of office, abetting insurrection after the fact, and anything else that could lead to future charges or at least being primaried in…

That seems to be the typical anti-vaxxer line.
