So, I’m a registered independent and would have voted Bernie had he won the nomination last time out. I bristled when I began reading about the “Bernie bros” concept, mostly because I’d never actually met one before and it seemed...almost like a fabricated phenomenon. In any event, in the interim I have met may Bernie…

Acutely insightful post, particularly this part: “They have given no indication they are going to stop attacking US interests in the region, if only by proxy, which was the whole reason for the assassination in the first place...”

He’s literally on camera admitting to the murders.

I think the intellectuals among the GOP are embarrassed by his antics, but simultaneously those antics provide cover and draw attention away from what’s really going on (McConnell et al. destroying this country). So they take it in stride. Ideally, I suppose they’d like an articulate, sane, smart person in office, but…

He’s utterly remade (read: destroyed) the federal judiciary. I think more than a quarter of all appellate court judges are Trump appointees. He’s put a shit-ton of lifetime appointees on the bench. Two Supreme Court justices, and possibly a third (ugh). For republicans, it’s a matter of him pushing through their…

I think about stuff like this. I think about in, like, 40 years when all of his taxes and financial disclosures and private conversations and all the other stuff is out and official and on the record...I think about how my grandkids will look at me, bug-eyed, with wonder and disbelief...that this was at one point the…

This all presumes she’s not being intellectually dishonest.

Definitely an asset (wittingly or otherwise).

Without even looking it up, this clip cinches it: she’s Italian. That’s some Italian mom shit right there.

Baffling now a member of Congress can not know/understand that this vote was not to “remove” Trump, it was to impeach him. The Senate decides whether to remove or not based on an ensuing trial.

Yep. First thing I thought when I saw this. Most Hollywood “transforming for my next movie!” actors are into PEDs of some sort.

Hear, hear.

“Being Jewish” is an odd thing. I have always broken it down into three categories: (1) religious facet (i.e., those who practice and espouse religious beliefs consistent with Judaism), (2) cultural facet (traditions, foods, dress, etc.), and (3) ethnic facet (i.e., your blood).

Haha, okay, got it. Thanks again. I’ll check this out when I get home. Appreciate it.

As a middle-aged Luddite, the entire first paragraph of your response was like reading another language for me, lol. Thank you, though.

Salient point—I hear you.

He’s not likely to be removed via Senate vote, so this is really about damaging Trump publicly and politically. The longer you keep his illicit dealings on the front page, and dig to reveal other criminal acts, the better chance you have of bringing down his approval ratings and getting him voted out of office.

Fair point, but I’m more concerned with damaging Trump’s stock to ensure he loses than I am with ensuring someone in the democratic field beats out Biden.

She’s funny as shit. Will definitely give it a watch.

Not sure why they appear to be rushing this impeachment. Dems can use the GOP’s witness, Turley’s own words against them by taking his advice not to do this quickly. Instead, drag it out as long as possible, and uncover more and more wrongdoing on Trump and his administration’s behalf.
