His conscience?

I think the words you were looking for to describe your strategy here are "deliberately obtuse."

It's a good look. We all enjoy engaging with it.

The final vote will be almost exactly the same as the "Constitutional" vote.

As you could see with the first attorney in particular yesterday (for Trump) it literally doesn't matter what either...

Impeachment is always political (it's not a criminal trial after all), but per usual the politics trump (no pun intended) the facts.
...

There is almost no chance they get the votes. You're right about that. It'll probably be a slightly better final vote than the usual straight-party line of most historical impeachments, but not...

Ouch. What's that about?

Seriously, what have I lied about?

This seems unprovoked.

Of the sin, not the sinner.


As best as I can.

I'll admit. It feels weird to defend him. Even if in a back-handed compliment kind of way.

Still. Fair is fair.

I wouldn't say I hate President Trump. But I'm clearly not a fan of his...

Yeah, I get that and agree.

But you can't just use raw numbers for that case. What you'd have to compare is current (real) jobless rates to some sort of projected better outcome based on a...

He's been a remarkably poor leader throughout the COVID pandemic (to say the least). And well, just in general. Terrible president.

But even I wouldn't pin jobless rates on him compared to when he...

It'd be really hard to prove in a criminal court. Impeachment is a little different standard I think, but I really think it would be (will be?) counter-productive. It'd be tempting to try to send a...

2 things. Removal from office and barred from future (federal) office.

Past that it's just symbolic. I don't know that that's an argument for or against. Sometimes symbols are important, sometimes...

I think the Belknap case makes it at least an interesting legal debate. But probably just an intellectual one. I don't think it's all that clear either way, but even as someone who'd love him to be...

As opposed to the very private airing of complaints in daily press conferences, multiple "news" networks, and in court? Were they saving the good stuff for an impeachment trial? Didn't want to waste...

I'm not surprised, but I kind of wish they would.

There are some strong arguments for and against impeachment in this case. It doesn't strike me as surprising that the practical matters (if...

I think we don't.

Not from any consessions on the part of the parties.

It'd take a splintering over something else like Sasse and Romney refusing to be in a party with idiots like Cruz and...

There will certainly be some divisiveness among the Democrats. Didn't AOC just say recently that in most countries (or if we had more than 2 options or something like that) that she and Biden almost...

Yeah I don't know that we don't still get ideologues (maybe worse for that) and venal career opportunists. Multi-party isn't without problems.

Some of those countries have to reset the government...

I would love to see a coalition style multi-party system rather than the 2 party system we've backed into.

But you'd want more than just Democrats/Republicans/Trumpicans (or whatever).

You need...

If they had some brilliant undetectable scheme the first time around, why didn't they just flip the Senate then?

They're pretty underwhelming candidates on their own. Kind of Trump sycophants, which would be a knock from me, but will help with others (they're both betting on this obviously).

I'd probably...

I actually think this could be great for America, but only if the left split a couple of ways too. Otherwise you'd split too many votes and just hand everything to the Democrats as they exist.

But...

You don't know anyone who has been an LSU fan for over 50 years?

There is no cap on "being wrong."

They can't just be wrong?

Because that's what the President wanted?

Apparently the question shouldn't be the President's $2,000 vs the Congressional $600, it should be those two vs nothing?

I mean, that's an argument,...
