Maybe they don’t work well enough to replace $15/hr workers, but work just fine to replace $25/hr workers.

I really like this guy. He’s very intelligent and a student of history. I think his views are going to be at odds with the current administration, but he’ll bust his ass to make the U.S. military ready for any current or future conflict.

His bizarre performance today, and his brazenly inadequate response to the many very obvious conflicts of interest and opportunities for corrupt dealings that his administration will invite, give Republicans a perfectly acceptable rationale to do so.

Yeah, this article seems to conveniently overlook the requirements for impeachment, which is kind of odd for an article about, you know, impeachment ... It’s conveniently unspecific.
