Rob's House

They'd never throw Hillary under the bus like that.

One time a buddy of mine was hitting on a light skinned black girl at a bar. She said something about being black and he, visibly surprised, told her she was the best looking black girl he'd ever seen. He followed that up by telling her, as though it were a great compliment, that he couldn't even tell she was black. The real kicker is, it worked. True story.

I'd probably give the Dems a pass on this whole thing if they'd included an article of impeachment for being literally Hitler. I mean, if you're going to go full ret@rd at least do it with style.

So if Trump had a buddy in India and he called him to ask if he knew anything about some Indian corruption ring that he'd heard Biden was wrapped up in, would you claim he'd violated the statute?

Everyone on the Steelers' roster.

It's more than a stretch to say providing information would be considered a "thing of value" within the meaning of the statute. It's an even bigger stretch to say it was in connection with an election. Just because that information may have an effect on public perception of a candidate, and thus have an indirect effect on an election, does not render that information given "in connection with an election." Both ends of that equation so attenuated that such an interpretation would render the statute unconstitutionally vague. Again, if there was a reasonable argument to be made on this the Dems would be all over it.

There is no rational argument to support the assertion that President Trump violated campaign finance laws. None. At all. It's not even close. If there was an argument that wouldn't get you laughed out of court the Dems would be coming with it full force. There's a reason why no one outside of fringe partisan Twitter trolls are even suggesting such a thing.

That was a smooth move by BB to call his bluff. There's no way Comey takes him up on that. He doesn't want to go anywhere he might be challenged.

Apparently Fox Is denying this outright. What a ****ing creep. To think this guy was the Director of the FBI.

We've called them commies, somewhat in jest, for years. Now that their backs are against the wall their true nature is coming out and it turns out we weren't too far off the mark. These are dangerous people who would do horrible things if given the opportunity. Their only gripe with Hitler is that he put the wrong people in the concentration camps. They're very understanding of the Soviet gulags. Not that I'm suggesting they'd do anything like that to Americans. You know, unless those Americans were traitors...or Nazis.

I rarely wish prison on anyone, but I'd pay good money to see that smug son of a b!tch get marched off in cuffs.

How the hell is Arcega pronounced Arthega? I know that's how he pronounces it, but did they ever consider the mother *****'s got a lisp?

Think the Giants are wondering if they wasted an opportunity to win the division with the Daniel Jones experiment?

Is catching ability something that typically improves significantly with time? It seems like it could, but I'm struggling to think of an example of someone with consistently bad hands who turned it around.

I still don't get it. If he'd just knocked off the Pats, or any other team for that matter, it would make a bit more sense. Bills fans on a Bills board getting hot for the QB that just beat us is weird to me.

That's what I was thinking. Yeah, the guy's having a good year, but I don't get why so many Bills fans are popping wood over the guy on the other team.

There are no moral victories but having the opportunity to tie inside their 20 at the end of the game is far preferable to getting stomped. I don't think it can reasonably be argued that the Bills aren't a solid team right now.

It's not what thoughts that you had, but why you had them. And we will decide, based on our objective and impartial powers of conjecture, what was running through your mind at that moment.

Democrats triumphantly raising the white flag.

Bernie would likely be more formidable than most of the pack, but he's got some heavy obstacles in his path to the nomination. The DNC doesn't want him anywhere near this. President Trump was able to overcome similar sentiment from the RNC, but it doesn't have as much control over the process as the DNC does. Also, the Clinton loyalists still resent him for, as they see it, costing Hillary the election. Were he to get it though the general election would be interesting. Bernie's far left policies would scare some moderates and Never Trumpers into voting Trump, but he'd pick up a lot of liberals who have gravitated to the right, despite policy differences, due to the wacky PC, social justice wing taking over the Democrat party. I don't think the feminist/Hillary crowd would sit out because anyone in that crowd that's still harboring resentment are so rabidly anti-Trump that they'll learn to get over it and show up in droves anyway. I think Tulsi Gabbard would be the most formidable. She has similar challenges and strengths to Bernie wrt what I described above, but she comes off as more sensible and she's a lot more pleasant to look at. Also, Trump would alpha Bernie in a big way. If he tried that on Tulsi he'd look like a bully. And she's pretty tough; the optics of a tough attractive woman standing up to Trump could cause problems for him. I still think President Trump wins regardless of who they run, but those two would have the best chance in the general IMO.

If this doesn't make you cringe you don't have a pulse.

The kicker is that they did prove intent. The level of intent required was negligence and there's no way in hell to deny she was, at the very least, negligent. I didn't have any desire to see her go to prison, but anyone else who did what she did would have.

This is a quick read from Dershowitz explaining the criteria for impeachment. It's as concise a summary as I've seen. https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/473035-what-are-not-criteria-for-impeachment

I love that version. It's liberating and empowering in the way it breaks from the patriarchal pattern of oppression. I was at the mall over the weekend and they played the original version and I was stunned. I felt like I was being forced to bear witness to a brutal gang rape. I was literally freaking out. I was like, this is not ok. Needless to say, I won't be going back there.
