Magary is probably one of if not the best writer on GMG. Some of the folks on Jalopnik might come close, but if you made me pick who was overall best, it would be him.

Oh yeah, I forgot he did those! I really liked them too!

Good luck Nick. As I said on the other post by your colleagues, I might not have always agreed with what you wrote, but I appreciated the effort you put into it and the way in which you wrote it. You certainly informed me more about Native American issues than probably anything else in my life, and I thank you for…

I mean, according to your quote from the Daily Beast, the title is blatantly wrong. But it got me to click and read it, so I guess good on you.

It’s weird to say this, but I think Nick was actually one of the better writers here? 10,000 word diatribes aside, more often than not even if I disagreed with the premise he presented in whole or in part, I at least respected the way in which he took it and how he crafted it.

We aren’t that lucky.

Yeah, it never fails to amaze me how many people fail to see the long game.

I mean, given that she’s been on the court longer than any of us have, combined, maybe she’s right? But nahhhh, obviously all the progressive geniuses around here know much better and court packing will not in any way backfire horribly and turn the Supreme Court into an complete clown show.

The debt ceiling isn’t bad. Ignoring the debt ceiling and not doing anything to decrease spending,or actually paying down our debts, is bad. Everyone seems to think that the world economy will crash if we hit the debt ceiling, but what will happen if we take on more debt than our economy can possibly bear? The problem…

Sure, because that certainly won’t cause any other problems, like virtually guaranteeing that small businesses close up overnight, rampant inflation, and giant megacorps controlling everything on a scale that would make Jeff Bezos cream in his pants. It’s like you’re disappointed that it’s 2019 and we’re not already…

You mean the paradigm that creates a functioning economy? Yeah, no thanks. I’m not looking for bread lines any time soon.

Anyone want to lay odds that they’ll negotiate a higher salary but they’ll be expected to put in even more hours, staff will be cut, or the most likely answer, both?

Yeah, they want receipts, and can you really fault them for it? With Teflon Don in the White House who can literally say racist stuff on a daily basis and suffer little effect other than the left rage stroking over it, I don’t think you can settle for anything less.

I was speaking more to impeaching him solely on the basis of him being racist. Which, while reprehensible, isn’t a crime and it isn’t immediately clear to me that you’d get enough people to agree that him being racist qualifies as a “high crime or misdemeanor”, especially given the makeup of the House and Senate today.

These are the same people that don’t have a problem with milkshaking because “It’s just a milkshake bro!” even when it escalates into people being beaten. Getting them to apply any sort of consistency to political violence being bad is a fool’s errand.

Well, we can always hope that he rage strokes first. Though that does still leave us with the issue of what to do about Pence, who is a religious nutjob and knows better than to say the quiet parts loud.

The guy’s only schtick is being an uncreative troll, who, apparently thinks that voting to not vote on impeachment = wanting to impeach. Truly, the mind boggles at such massive intellect.

Yeah, I mean like I said I don’t want to knock Green for trying to do the right thing, but doing the right thing at the wrong time can make things worse. By forcing the issue now I don’t think he’s done Pelosi or anyone else who wants to see Trump gone any favors.

Fair. I just don’t see anything currently being proposed as touching Trump. I’d much rather wait and see how this Epstein thing plays out, presuming he doesn’t get suicided in jail.

While I’d like to believe that if a sitting president committed murder that he’d be impeached and then immediately tried in a criminal court, no matter which party was in control of the Senate, the pragmatic part of me says that you’re probably not wrong, unfortunately.
