See FuckerCarlson’s comment and my response in this thread, HelloAmerica’s response elsewhere in the comments to this article, and cgist’s reporting of Al Green’s comments on C-SPAN just now. I think those are important to consider alongside what you’re saying. Your stance seems heavily based on public opinion, but…

The 2/3 number you cite there I suspect is swayed by how Democrats don’t have an expectation that the Senate will act - that is, I reckon they’re all saying it’s not worth trying if it won’t succeed in removal. I doubt historical precedent is being taken into consideration there and I wonder if it would change minds…

That’s fine with me, but there are plenty of grounds for impeachment beyond this week’s foofaraw.

I think it’s really important that the House impeaches, even if it’s a pyrrhic victory and even if there’s no expectation that the Senate will convict. There’s more going on here than just present day politics - there’s historical precedent to consider. If we don’t impeach 45, we’re saying that politics can prevent…

That really puts paid (if anyone needed it) to the notion that trump's racism is just off the cuff musing and not completely planned.

Correction: the wood chipper scene is ABSOLUTELY based on a real murder in Newtown, CT that happened when I was a very tiny person living there. Mid 1980s.

Reminder that Bush kicked that trend off.

The only thing - the ONLY thing - working for us here is his age. That really doesn't comfort me much, but it's something.

Ahhh, ok. I knew he had UK connections but I didn't realize it was earlier in his life than I assumed. I thought he was just pretending to be SAS, which is its own special version of unironic beta male lol.

(D) he is Harold

Too bad we can’t look to nature to take its course responsibly. They have greater predicted lifespans!

God he looks so elderly in this photo. I love it.

Wait, wasn’t he Hungarian and just went to university in the UK? (I’m not defending UK people here, I live here and we have plenty of shitheads who think Trump is just peachy and plenty of shitheads who agree with everything Trump stands for but saw a comedy show once about how he was bad and haven’t thought it…

So accurate for undead lurching around, but also, see re Joe Biden on the other side... why the hell can’t this generation RETIRE? They’re the ones with all the benefits to retire with!

I need to tell you that I laughed so hard at this comment irl I had to tell my husband about it.
