To paraphrase Mr. Carlin: “Think about the average person you know, and how dumb they sound sometimes. Then realize that half of all people are dumber than that.”

Don’t tell that to these folks. Constitutions and Amendments will save us! Or somesuch absolute bullshit.

I am sure the Germans, Italians, Russians, etc. all said the same thing when they were presented with the nearly exact same scenario.

I admire your naivete. All of this, all of our social structure, is based on a mutual agreement of following the Social Contract. There is nothing to prevent anyone from invalidating the SC, even less so if you’re powerful. If Trump, and the Senate (by their own voting) said ‘we’re suspending Habeus Corpus (like we…

No, it’s spot on. He said, while still in office a few years later, something along the lines of “I still don’t know what I got the prize for.”

uhhh... I have news for you dude. There’s a lot in this current political climate that is just ‘supposed’ to happen because of parliamentary norms, unwritten rules, gentlemens’ agreements, etc.

Double layer of humor if you consider the history of Nobel himself and why the prize was made.

I don’t think he remembers that the choice to give Obama the Nobel was more or less mocked by everyone at the time, and was seen as a weird choice. That being said, I don’t think Trump understands bullying Iran into a war they don’t want isn’t the action of a peaceful leader helping the world heal.

Hey, if you care about the Emmy’s, you can do one of two things: sit through a slog of self-congratulations and circle-jerking about how the celebrities are so important and influential, whilst they spit platitudes about shit we already know is important (gay rights, trans rights, Trump is a fuckball, etc.). OR you…

But all of those acts aren’t direct measures, and have to be supported by the Senate. And as we’ve seen, Mitch isn’t too keen on hurting his bottom line. Mitch could, theoretically, refuse to act and sink the whole process.

Here’s the problem - there is legitimately nothing in the Constitution to remove a president from office aside from Impeachment.

N0 matter how one slices it, Oct 2020-Nov 2020 is going to be an ugly time period in American life. I don’t say that casually.

Trump and Team: “We’re going to use foreign influence to fuck with our elections again, and ensure that we have blackmail material on our opponent. You know, like we did last time - which arguably gave us the election.”

If there is one Right-Wing pundit asshole whose opinion is the most inane (which is saying something), I would firmly nominate Paul Watson.

Huh, the article I had read earlier today made it sound like he told Kislyak who the spy was, but now I’m reading it correctly. Thank you for the adjustment of accurate information.

I mean, user FuckerCarlson was trying to argue that exact same headline...

Well, yeah. Everyone has to get their stories straight about Iran, then decide how they want to divvy up the loot after they plunder the country for oil reserves and other resources.

If you have to attack women for wanting to not be attacked by random dudes online, you have the insight of a flea.

Considering that he recently straight up gave the Russians information about one of our undercover agents, and they had to be removed from the field, I’m going to give it a big “you’re damn right.”

I’d watch that, personally. For some reason I can see Whoopi straight up decking someone with a chair - then calmly placing on the ground sitting, and (without missing a beat): ‘We’ll be back after this break.’
