Right? The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now.

Which is of course why fundraising for contested districts and angling for a majority, no matter how narrow, both things that Nancy Pelosi is really fucking good at, is so crucial.

I mean, the people she’s talking to don’t need to be convinced. They know climate change is real they just don’t care about the effects of it as much as they care about other things. Of course they can’t say this out loud so they pretend climate change isn’t real.

Oh.

On a long enough timeline is a there a single character in any fiction franchise that doesn’t become a pansexual sex fiend in a relationship with every other character regardless of their plot and/or familial connections?

Cory Lewandowski would have won Boar on the Floor running away.

50 years is fine I guess but I mean, come on. When most people talk about term limits they talk about 10-20 years if not shorter.

Turns out, Nunes is referring to a prank phone call by two Russian comedians, which Schiff didn’t engage with other than to tell them to send their material to the FBI and the House Intelligence Committee. Not really a gotcha there.

Yeah the point is though that Nixon went for something far more useful than Trump went for here.

I mean, we’re still a long ass way from getting any Senate Republicans to openly support impeachment and I’d still say actual impeachment is a long shot.

I mean, Trump might be able to win his election.

Honestly it doesn’t sound like him.

If this does happen to be something that causes the administration trouble, either legally or politically, think about what it will all have been for. A half assed attempt to get dirt on a potential political rival’s son. The kicker is that at the present pace Uncle Joe might get overtaken by Elizabeth Warren and then…

Or it’s almost like there could be risks of acute health reactions that only manifest under highly particular and unusual circumstances that we don’t know about yet. You know how that FDA approved drug that advertises on television has to list all sorts of side effects that inevitably include dying in some horrible…

His face does have a very Bleuthian expression of defeat on it.

“As far as I am concerned, she’s no longer Speaker of the House.”

LMFAO

I tend to agree about space movies becoming more morose, though I’d argue that Interstellar was a fundamentally optimistic movie compared to those others in recent years.

From Trump’s end, what money laundering? If, as the story goes, DB Estonia was loaning him laundered money, then from the perspective of Trump’s financial statements, all the activity looks like a totally legal loan from DB.
