I hope President Warren turns the tables on Republicans and unleashes her full fury on those traitors using the very powers Trump has been given today.
Ha. Every day is a day the GOP betrays the United States.
Todayâs acts of GOP treachery will just be more blatant than usual.

The difference with a Soviet show trial is GOP members pathetically trying to explain why there will be no justice and how itâs not their fault instead of bluntly admitting the Leader and the Party are always right. Itâs not an improvement. https://t.co/7FV6sLbSej

Since the group that are the current representatives of the Republican Party arenât budging an inch from supporting Trump, even after his lieutenantsâ bragging about their breaking multiple laws and Trump himself all but declaring himself dictator, the only bridge that they havenât crossed yet is the purge of opposition via arrest (or worse). Even that is already in various stages of being begun already.
Every last GOPer was in the loop and knew Trump was engaging in criminal wrongdoing. His own lawyers knew, and theyâre the ones out there lying on behalf of Trump.
State bar officials should take notice of every last GOPer who is going for this nonsense that they should consider disbarring every last GOP lawyer over failing as officers of the court and upholding their oaths and obligations.
This includes in no particular order: Dershowitz, Cippilone, and Bondi. And the GOP Senators who are backing this crap.
Whatâs happening here isnât really a âcoverup.â
Itâs all happening right out in the open. Weâre long past the point where Trump or the GOP think they need to cover up anything. Theyâre just going for it, and they donât care if the public sees them.â Charles Johnson (@Green_Footballs) January 31, 2020

The entire defense argument was so what he did it, get over it. Heâs above the law.
The GOP response has been a meh and yeah, weâll allow it when itâs a GOPer.

No witnesses and Republicans behaving like absolute shitbirds in the impeachment trial was always exactly what to expect, down to the exact votes McConnell lets stray, who gets their moments of pretended moderation in the press, and the disgusting protection of the GOPâs main judicial fixer, CJ Roberts.
But IMO the House managers have done an outstanding job of making things clear in the only way that civilized people really can fight back â as fodder for this years election.
So I donât see any reason for doom and gloom today. Republicans are shit, and they will just confirm that once again today.
What I do hope for is that Senate Democrats will have full discipline on the critical votes â witnesses and removal from office. Even one Democrat breaking ranks there would be a real problem.

There are no heroes or patriots in the Republican Party. None. Putting country first is a thing of the past. This is nothing but white America doing whatever they have to to keep power. If Trump gets away with this it will change the country forever. Who ever has the White House and on chamber will do whatever they want. No more rule of law. I never thought I would see this in America, thatâs what made us different , Our government is no better than a banana republic. If by chance the Dems win the White House I hope whoever it is has a long memory and prosecutes everyone involved. This is nothing short of treason.

Itâs between that and the sincere possibility that the GOP will even further compromise the 2020 elections to the cheering of the press and there may not be a damn thing we can do about it because, as itâs been so aptly proven, #IOKIYAR is de facto law in this country.

Nah, it would never be used against Republicans. If Dems even dared try, the press would savage them and never let go, the GOP would pounce on any little misstep and get the courts to lay every single hammer down they could and destroy Dem standing as immediately as possible.

Last year when I was planning to move they ended up offering a lease keeping my rent at the previous rate, with the first month of the 12-month lease rent free.
Or, they call my bluffâŚlol

to be honest, SCJ Roberts isnât exactly deserving of much respect⌠if he was taking the proceedings seriously, Senators would have been seated and they would have at least been made to spend time paying attention to the testimony.

re: #147 #thegreatpoolpondconversion (dangerman)
agreed, they canât even do a sham properly. Part of the trouble is, there was absolutely zero to exonerate Trump with and treating the whole affair with the seriousness that it deserved involved morals and ethics and an understanding of the law, well the GOP certainly couldnât have that.
Theyâve made their political calculation and now, as Americans, weâll hopefully be able to execute our franchise of the ballot and see where that goes.
Myself, if Trump wanted heads on pikes, he may just may get that wish if I read the undernotes of seething that is taking place, not a proponent of mob rule, but when the people who have made the laws and abide by them find that their leaders are declaring themselves no longer subject to them⌠well bad things tend to happen as a result of that.

Itâs not going to be the fact that Trump was âacquittedâ or the precedents set that will be so much salt in the wound, but rather the insistence that Manchin and/or Jones putting their âbipartisanâ stamp on it means that it must be legit because âIf Democrats voted against it, then it must mean the House failed to make their case!â
This is why my biggest hope in this whole process has always been that Manchin, Jones et al. do the right thing and vote with the rest of the Democrats.
Thereâs a huge difference between a message of âCorrupt POTUS skates on all charges on a party-line voteâ and a message of âBipartisan Senate exonerates Trump.â

It makes little sense, but itâs literally the only way to prevent a resumption of The Troubles. As far as I can tell, itâs placing a bet that de facto Irish reunification will get fewer Orangist terrorists in Belfast and Dublin than re-arming the marchlands will get in Liverpool and London.

Voters should be forewarned that neither the legislative branch nor executive branch can be entrusted to this crowd.
⢠Americans who actually adhere to conservative beliefs should give up the fantasy that the GOP can be rescued. In not only electing and defending Trump but also shredding long-held constitutional principles, it poses a threat to the rule of law, equal justice under the law and the American creed (âAll men âŚâ). Their energies are best spent in the short run trying to nominate and help elect a centrist Democrat and then creating a principled center-right party from the ground up.
⢠The country needs to have a robust discussion about the electoral college, the Senate filibuster, the defects in the impeachment process, firewalls between the White House and the Justice Department, the power to indict sitting presidents, the War Powers Act, statutory emergency powers (which Trump has abused) and voting rights. (When Republicans hear that presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has a long list of executive orders ready to go, perhaps they will reflect on the path to tyranny they have paved.)

re: #340 LeftyRambles2413 (HappyWarrior)
10th grade for me was 2002-3 so I want to say we ended perhaps with Apartheid or the Gulf War but we really rushed things a little after WWII ended. I donât blame my teacher, who was a capable guy but it was rushed. And I know a lot of what I know because I always try to learn more about the subjects that I learn about. WWI in 7th grade made me want to read All Quiet on the Western Front for example.
12th grade for me was 1977-8 (I missed mandatory history class in 11th grade because I was out of the country that year). We got as far as the end of WW2.

12th grade for me was 2001-2002. We covered the Gulf War and the fall of the Soviet Union⌠then we lived history in the fall. Mine was the Class of 9/11.

At this point, do we even know which side of the border Trump plans to put the land mines on? Heâs alienated so much else of the rural vote, can his vote totals afford to emplace booby traps half a mile onto American soil instead of Mexican?
(Yes, I know thatâs an act of war. The Confederacy may have no way to maintain air superiority thanks to the F-35 being the worst warplane built in 70 years, but they also have more tanks than Mexico has men and women under arms, so I think theyâre not worried about that just yet and may actively want to drive Obrador to war).

I think thereâs gotta be a way to focus more on that time period. The problem is of course that may leave less time for the early history which is also important. Now in 6/7 grade, we divided history. It was US history until Reconstruction and then from Reconstruction on. 8th was Civics. 9/10 World history to the Renascence and then the Present. 11th was just US and definitely rushed. 12th was Government. I dunno. THereâs gotta be a better way of how we teach our history.

I was never high on the F-35 to begin with. The F/A-18 was the closest thing to a truly universal aircraft. Otherwise, the various air roles are too different in flight and munitions profiles to truly reconcile in a single one-size-fits-all plane. And in trying to engineer the perfect interceptor/air superiority/ground support aircraft, they got a steaming pile of outlandishly expensive garbage.

Ever since Reconstruction ended, conservatives have been willing to sacrifice a few votes through suppression as long as the sacrificed more from âthoseâ people.

Joe Vandever Sr. died of health complications Friday in Haystack, New Mexico, according to his family. He was 96.
Tribal leaders called Vandever a âgreat warriorâ and a âcompassionate family manâ and asked Navajos to keep his spirit and his family in their prayers.

This. The only present restraint on further Trump/Republican steps toward a full dictatorship is the belief by the powers that be that this would be bad for business.
But what would make it bad for business is only the resulting political unrest. No unrest = no problems for the powers that be. Capitalism can do just fine with an arbitrarily repressive political system, as long as itâs basically right-wing.

True. Itâs also true that in a real clash between democracy and conservatism, the only acceptable outcome is a lot fewer conservative after their futile rebellion is thoroughly stamped out.

Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is statistically tied with Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison, with the staunch pro-Trump incumbent seeing his favorability ratings plummet among independent voters.
Graham, who was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002, is clinging to a 2-percentage point lead over Harrison, 47 to 45 percent, with nearly 10 percent of voters surveyed still remaining undecided about their 2020 vote.
