The dems believe they have Trump on this very important national security issue. They should plow forward full steam ahead with impeachment and let the Senate take it up as our nation's national security is in peril. If our National Security has been endangered to the level they have emphatically stated is has been, it would be reckless and a dereliction of duty to step away at this point given concerns about the security of our nation. If the country is divided it's certainly not their fault given their view of Trump's obvious high crimes against the state that impact the security of every American on a national level.

I have to admit I'm not big on change. After visiting the Jersey Shore last summer I came home and dumped 30000 boxes of plastic straws in my swimming pool. I might be part of the problem.

One could argue that attention to detail is one of the fundamental characteristics a team might look for in bringing on a coach. Inability to manage their own personal finances might be an indicator they lack attention to detail.

I've always wondered about this sort of political activism. How many people are significantly affected by protestors locked in arms and blocking streets? How many people die on the way to the hospital seeking treatment for heart attacks or other medical emergencies? How many victims of a stroke are disabled as a result of the additional time required to reach the hospital or the time it takes first responders to get to them? Choking victims, victims of assault, people who require oxygen and so on. Then wonder...if faced with some Heidi-looking mo'fos standing between me and the emergency room with a loved one in peril...what might I do? I agree that Trump should largely ignore this 11 year old anarchist, call out the civil unrest and anarchy-in-the-streets her ilk sells, and the impact on freedom loving people everywhere just trying to get to work and take care of her families. Compare them to the weather underground, perhaps share some stories on people impacted by these street blockades, and let people make up their own minds. I would think that many people could look at this young lady and decide she's unhinged all on their own. I think if left alone, it won't be all that long until she gets back to being the featured villain in a Stephen King movie.

If the only punishment for running a 3 year grift on a sitting President is "let's not point fingers and let's come together for an emotional cleanse", I vote for leaving things the way they are. No downside, no jail time, just an endless cycle of political malfeasance and bland statements afterward that we all should do better next time. I'll take my chances with our side.

Ah come on 3rd, I’m trying to be a grown up here. I deliberately avoided that topic.

Harris always makes me think of a politician who wanted to be president, dipped their toe in the water and quickly realized that they lack the tone, temperament, likability, political experience, ethical tenacity, charisma, charm, eccentricity, studious nature, commitment to excellence, ability to relate to others, pleasantness, or ability to compel others to take up the flag and march beside them. It has to drive her crazy that she’s her own kryptonite.

That's not his style. He's a classic contrarian who likes to lob grenades at people he disagrees with, though the grenades are usually benign and filled with baby powder. He's become a bore, and oddly I don't remember him always being that way.

Of course it will. It’s an ‘us v them” world. AG Barr laid it out pretty succinctly (credit to @Foxx for the link). As he suggests the greatest threat to our system is the weaponization of counterintelligence by one admin at the expense of another, as he lays out the case that the entire fiasco falls apart Jan 2016, as he cites fabricated warrants and documents used to continue the investigation and hamstring a president guilty of absolutely nothing....you sit and suggest that Trump is the one damaging “democracy”. us v them. I’d prefer it not be that way, but by extension, you’re comfortable with a tyrannical FBI acting suspiciously like the Gambino crime family shaking down local merchants, where is the middle ground? Personally, I’d prefer to go it alone then saddle up with folks comfortable with an out of control FBI.

Dumbest smart guy in America at the time.

This Is like watching a boxing match between Muhammad Ali (DR) and some fat kid from Depew (not DR) who won a contest to go 3 with the champ. I kinda respect the fat kid for the effort but at the same time I’m screaming “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE THROW IN THE TOWEL!”.

Wow. I never knew so much pressure went into being an OP. Transparency issues, fault accepted and reiterations and goals for the future. I can't speak for others but for me, when I read something, sometimes I type $#@! back. The end. You done good imo.

This post is horsecockery at its finest. You are responsible for you. I am responsible for me. If I was to meet DR for a coffee to discuss Trump-Russia collusion, and we choose to meet at a Starbucks because he used to be a bottle blond surfer west coast limousine liberal and he likes that swill, it's not on him if I don't understand the street signs and take a wrong turn or two before arriving. I find your comments shallow and pedantic.

AG Barr has a way of cutting through the bs and getting to the heart of the matter quickly. I could listen to him all day. On the issue at hand, there is not one reasonable person in the country who would listen to him, consider his position and think: "No, I would definitely support am administration utilizing the weight and power of the govt to impact an election.". I fear no heads will roll, but it will not be because Barr was on the job.

Transplant from Pennsylvania Amish country.

True story. I was in the stands for a Bills Pats game, Bills were playing well and some NE fans around me were commiserating about Brady, his struggles and maybe he was done. Then McKelvin opted for a return and put the ball on the carpet... Fans are not always not dumb.

Seriously, Comey is out banging on about being the King of the Dipshyts of the Keystone Cops. The guy was fired, last seen wandering about the forest pondering the many questions of life, oversaw an FBI that couldn't get it's thumb out of it's own a$$ when viewed in it's most positive light, and now has NBC news accusing it of being just another slap dick institution. The leadership was largely purged, and Comey's thrilled with the outcome. Honest to God the guy is delusional. He's the lead designer on the Edsel project and again, that is when considered in the most positive light possible.

Preaching to the irredeemables, this is some second level Jimmy Lee Swaggart evagelicizing Bobby! You must be from Southern Michigan.

What is so bad in your real world that you seem compelled to aspire to insufferable prick status here? You're perilously close to being renamed johnAdamSchiff.

He nailed Trump’s preferred pronoun, and we’ll always have that.

That’s not the way the game is played by either side. Any mention of any child in any capacity automatically triggers the “Children are off limits” clause. Righteous indignation follows. In the testimony provided today by Phyllis from The Office, she’s part of the resistance and invoking the boy’s name in the impeachment hearing was scripted, intentional, and designed to intimidate him and send a clear message to DJT—no one is off limits.

I think jrobs is lost in the shadow world of emotional crookery, whereby if a massive investigation (indisputable) of unprecedented scope (indisputable), with unlimited power to investigate and refer for prosecution everything from jaywalking to process crimes to personal income tax evasion (indisputable), which involves a disproportionate show of force relative to accusations (indisputable) and involves DOJ officials leaking to major media outlets time/place and scope of quasi-military operations for a man pushing 70 (indisputable) results in absolutely 0.00 counts of criminal activity for the subject of the investigation, well by gosh the victim in the scheme is obviously a crook because a jrobs finds him distasteful. As bad as all this abhorrent politicking has been, the only certainty that lies ahead is escalation. You simply can’t allow the opposition party to stab you repeatedly in the eye socket, allow the conditions to remain for exactly the same type of wrangling to happen next time without responding.

The bloody eye was good.

“No simulate Jackson, McDermott-San. Simulate guy who stop him.”

I would so do that. It drives the stats geeks crazy.
