True?

Gone are the days when someone like her would be offered a couple million bucks to pose topless in Playboy and she'd jump at the chance. At least there would be some redeeming value in that with apologies to the fine women that post here.

We have to hope that Wray is just staying in his lane (working to make things better going forward and not commenting on the investigations) and that Durham is pursuing actual prosecution of those involved in the coup/resistance. I'm beginning to share your doubt that any real action will be taken, but Barr seems like a serious guy and has made enough public statements on the matter to be hopeful.

Trump was acquitted with similar numbers to Clinton. Both were a waste of time because the alleged offenses didn't rise to treason, bribery or other high crimes. In Trump's case he didn't illegally obstruct anything and he did not receive an investigation in exchange for foreign aid AND the investigation discussed with Ukraine has merit.

I've all but given up on the purity test for politicians. I will support low taxation, fiscal responsibility (we aren't getting that), stopping illegal immigration, a reasonable environmental plan, reforms to reduce the costs of health insurance and health care, national security and the fair and equal application of the law. Trump's opposition doesn't match up well with my goals which are shared by a lot of people.

The only way to break the partisan tie is to actually apply the law. I'll take article II of this impeachment because it's low hanging fruit. The accusation is found starting on page 5 link below. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6572308/Articles-of-Impeachment.pdf It can be summarized as Trump telling a handful of individuals not to respond to House subpoenas invoking executive privilege. Some of those individuals sought the guidance of a court to determine their responsibility and were agreeable to testify if a court ruled so. The house managers withdrew their requests or failed to even issue a subpoena before being heard by a court and instead decided to make the charge of obstruction of Congress. Courts have clear jurisdiction regarding conflicts between the executive and legislative branches. On that basis alone the senate vote on article II if we are putting partisanship aside should have been 100-0 to acquit as the President was simply exercising his right of executive privilege and the house abandoned a court opinion. Had a court ruled that those witnesses had to testify and Trump still blocked them without an an ongoing appeal, then obstruction of justice an actual high crime could have been alleged and tried. The senate as part of the legislative branch does not have jurisdiction on the matter. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/01/trump-impeachment-obstruction-article-frivolous/ Really they failed on article II as impartial jurors. Article I is more complicated and a longer argument, but the vote on article II is clear evidence of partisanship or a dereliction of duty.

Well they left as they arrived 2 weeks ago, somber but carrying less paper which was obviously torn up just before this clip.

You know, the paper tear is going to be used endlessly now. Thank you Nancy for you do not know what thou hast done. Truly a gift.

Take another look at Kyrsten. I don't think she's that great. Hear what you're saying about retirement but in Mitt's case he would have so many options for things to do and things that would have a purpose.

Utah is the most red state in the country.

I don't understand why Mitt even became a senator. He's 72, wealthy and can do whatever he wants. Why would you choose at that age to be shackled to a Senate job and for 6 years and when your wife has had health scares? Like McCain he should have retired after not becoming President. Good virtues except that Trump has/had iron clad justification for asking for Biden to be investigated.

And to think I thought he'd be a great Pres back in 2012. I don't see how anyone can vote to convict on the obstruction article and on the abuse of power, there are a few reasons to toss that one and very little on which to convict.

I agree with anything Kay Adams says.

Bernie's likely to get an early lead after early states. The rest will have to catch him. IMO the longer Biden stays in, the longer it will take others to pass Bernie. Joe's not gonna do great but he'll have support that the others will badly need to overtake Bernie.

and very very old

Donald, how about we create less debt as well?

How is it that anyone watches her?

Court? Apparently this is more important than impeachment witnesses.

And I think you'd have as good a chance in the general as any of the other candidates. Best of luck.

Unfortunately impeachment proceedings have their own rules and are run by political parties. Apples and oranges comparison to a criminal trial. This is an example of why Congress has an approval rating less than half of that of the President.

I'm hearing the Russian's hacked the caucus app. Schiff will comment on it tomorrow but it may be Trump who is ultimately responsible.

Michigan will never go for Bernie. Never in the General.

Except that so many states now offer driver's licenses and State ID's to anyone citizen or not. Other than that, I'm with you.

Yes the root word for curry is cure. Seriously excellent news if what they're doing is effective.

I think it's game week. Iowa SOTU Acquittal Nancy and Adam to melt down Nancy and Adam announce next anti-Trump mission
