This is what has always killed me. At the root of the whole “Actually, I hope Donald Trump stays in office, because Mike Pence would be so much worse” argument, there is the implication that he’s some master of the dark arts of politics. That he’s some chess master who knows how the machine works.

If this whistleblower testifies for the House Intel Committee without some kind of identity protection, raving lunatic Devin Nunes will out him/her to Trump immediately. I hope Schiff is taking into account that Nunes can’t be trusted.

Narrator: The GOP had no chance of winning back the House.

Man, normally this is the moment when I’d contribute to the Wohl jokes.
But, as always, shoulda known this particular schadenfreude high would have to come to a sudden screeching halt soon.

Yeah.  More than one thing is important.  Diversity is strength, and three is a magic number.  Ukraine, one financial thing/emoluments thing, and Story Daniels.  That’s very important because it was lawbreaking that he used to obtain the presidency in the first place.

The Emoluments Clause violations aren’t clear and present, and the huge corruption scandal that’s brewing in his Scottland Resort Air Force debacle isn’t important or easily provable?

I would prefer Senate Republicans to have to acquit on article after article and for there to be tons of them. I don’t want the scope narrowed. That said,

He can’t just “not leave”. If the individual states certify their election results then it’s over. Whoever won becomes President at noon on January 20. The swearing in and oath and such are ceremonial. More likely would be Trump and his allies rig things before the election (e.g. voter suppression) or hope for narrow…

All things about Trump can be explained by projection.

their core in is place for what they hope is a multi-year Super Bowl window

And to think, if this guy had $500 back in 1983 he probably could have afforded a lawyer who could negotiate a drastically reduced sentence.

This is very good advice. Don’t commit crimes people. I fail to see how it is relevant to the article though. Nothing in it is dicussing whether or not he should have robbed a bakery. With the same reasoning you’re using anyone can justify dealing the death penalty for smoking pot.

I’,m pretty active at my church.

Holy crap. Jeff Sharlet’s book on the Family is definitely worth a read.

If Hassan Rouhani is smart, he’ll seize on the opportunity by writing Trump a beautiful letter telling what a smart and handsome big boy he is and inviting him to join Iran in its crusade against the Zionist oppressors.

From the Onion:

Good. Now that you’re here, read the mueller report, or even a summary.

I just automatically roll my eyes and dismiss anyone who’s still talking about ‘russia hoax’ or ‘russia freakout’..... because it’s clear that they’re not operating from an informed enough platform to even bother attempting intelligent conversation with them. They ain’t worth your precious time or keystrokes. (I like…

the notion that Republicans and others are working with the Russian government to undermine our elections, keep Trump in power, etc. etc. when McConnell and his party have been undermining elections quite effectively without Trump for years!
