This is my take on it. That viewpoint effectively positions the Senate as a jury of his peers, which is not really how the criminal justice system works. A failed impeachment and the investigation(s) therein could be used as EVIDENCE in a proper trial, but I don't think they take the PLACE of one.

I’m not 100% sure that’s how it works, but I am no legal scholar by any means.

People have been, were and are expecting a silver bullet moment that results in a righting of all wrongs because they’re idiot children of the instant gratification generation who were taught by TV, movies and overly permissive parents that that’s how the world works.

Look, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that a congressional hearing end with some screaming profanity, someone getting stabbed with a letter opener and the DC police marching into the White House to arrest the president. Movies and TV told me that's how this works.

But that’s, like, hard and stuff. Why can’t I change the world with low effort blogging and watching prestige TV?

They did what people like you wanted them to do and it’s pretty rich to turn around because he didn’t indict Trump from the floor and say that it was a waste of time and it never should have happened.

Never forget:

Nope. This website is run by and largely staffed by children who believe that life works by Tinkerbell rules: if you simply clap your hands loud enough and wish hard enough, all things are possible.

Because they know the score. The report looks BAD for Trump and his enablers. Why would they want to talk about THAT?

Neither side wants to eradicate the debt ceiling because it’s an easy talking point to use to batter the Other Guys with during election years and it’s easy for idiot voters to understand (debt = bad!).

God, the Double Doink. I don't even care about the Bears and thinking about that still depresses me in a weird, hard to explain way.

Such as?

This isn’t even that unusual for the northeast or the Midwest. We had a heat wave like this in the northeast 4 years ago (and countless times before that).

God, FUCK THAT SUN FOREVER INTO HELL ITSELF.

Weird. So it’s almost like a bipartisan group that includes both republicans and democrats can back both republican and democrat candidates without requiring full membership signoff on the moves. Huh.

I still maintain that this site is a very well done Russian prop op.

It seems like it all stemmed from NJT having a bizarre and unfounded belief that the show would be ending at/around 10:30 PM that no one can figure out how they came up with, so yeah, I gotta hang this on whatever dingus misread or failed to read whatever memo.

This. Stop taking obvious bait and consider whether your latest tweet (or, ugh, thread) NEEDS to be put out there.

Yup. He’s a troll. Best to just ignore and dismiss where possible.
