A Republican Senate impeaching a Republican President? Oh, you.

This kid is so great he actually made me not mind watching a Jimmy Fallon clip.

He really does remind me of his dad. I still remember the day I got completely sold on the Crocodile Hunter. Up until then I had enjoyed his show but always taken it with a grain of salt, thought he was just doing a character, etc. Then one…

If we still lived in a democracy, everything that’s come out would be enough to start impeachment proceedings so Trump can have his fair trial in the Senate, but since we’re a Banana Republic now, I guess not.

Those kids were born wearing khaki.

Fine by me. As long as he doesn’t try to run for president -_- Aaalso:

Okay, this article fucking terrifies me. Some of the lines of reasoning citizens used in defense of their decisions? They defy all logic to me. Like, I literally can’t wrap my head around why they persist in their support, literally seconds after establishing that they’re getting the screws put to them.

I know. This is absolutely terrifying. The “moderate” republicans always - always - cave. This is going to get passed as quickly as possible, and people will die. Hell, Paul Ryan basically said yesterday that it was important to ram through as many bills as possible while people weren’t paying attention, implying that…

Shrug, or even suggest that sexual assault and rape are a part of the penalty. It’s deeply fucked up.

Sadly, we would have to reform State laws at state or city levels to get the criminals themselves to have to pay. Preventing that is both Republicanism and patronage and gerrymandering. It’s a long road.

What the hell does the Senate bill even look like? Is the whole thing still secret?

I know. Many don’t. It just drives me crazy that people who are already serving time, which is what we’ve said as a society is an acceptable punishment, are subject to what is basically torture and most people shrug.

It’s just despicable. And somehow I doubt there will be substantial electoral consequences...

I am surprised and pleased by comeys level of emotion. He seems very upset about trumps requests. Plus I LOVED his answer the the Idaho senator said “well he didn’t tell you what to do. He just hoped you would, right?.” And Comey said “well, when the president says he hopes you do something it’s a directive”

When the government routinely affords its own officials easy-off pleas (3 days jail/$200 fine for multiple rapes?) it will lose the confidence of the public.

It appears so. Right in time for Independence day. As in millions will be independent from healthcare coverage.

His only crime was that he loved too much? Yeah, I don’t think so. But I’ll bet a large proportion of Americans don’t care at all about what happens to inmates.

The Washington Post reports that under his plea deal, Thicklen served three days and paid a fine of $200. The County will likely appeal the jury’s verdict.

I am thoroughly disgusted.

I believe you mean “Conniving Communist eco-warrior skank temptress succeeds in convincing liberals to punish a Great American.”
