Freddy takes his gloves off? Would it be more effective to leave them on? I mean it has knives protruding out of the fingers of said glove. You could do more damage with them on .
Okay I'll see myself out now for being off topic.

 

This isn't actually required. It's been historically done because it indicates bipartisanship for the goal of an impeachment, but the constitution and law doesn't ever state it's needed. It's a formality that's been skipped this time.

The reason for this is twofold. First, the bipartisan way has been tried. The result? The Mueller investigation. It's often overlooked that Mueller is a registered Republican (you'd almost forget given how heavily he got smeared by the Republicans). The outcome: A response so doctored by the Republican party that a large portion of the general public thinks it is a lie.

Second, the Senate would never agree to start procedures, not enough Republicans have lost support in the orange shrimp yet (that is, if Moscow Mitch even agrees to hold a vote on it, instead of just holding it up by doing nothing.)

Oh boy.

Nice misrepresenting btw. "We're not holding a vote yet" is what Pelosi said. Not that she's saying there won't be a vote (which again, it's irrelevant, you can investigate without there being a vote for it, since the Congress already has a right to subpoena).

So no, the investigations are hardly canceled by the Democrats, they're continuing as harsh as they have been.

Also I'm not American (but I guess it's hard to see that flag below my name isn't it?), I'm just interested in US politics for a variety of reasons[1].

[1]: US politics tend to be trendsetters for the western world, like it or not. Basically if your country elects a president who can't properly disavow neonazis, it means parties that curtail to neonazis are gonna do better than they otherwise would. This essentially means that every European person has some sort of stake in American politics, even if they can't directly influence it by voting, and as a result means that staying up to date with the situation and stopping cranks, even if they're foreign, from peddling their shit is kinda like really important, since if one doesn't, one could end up with the distilled version of your more on-the-nose bigots.

 

I couldn't believe he just blurted this shit out. Several journalists gave him a chance for an out with their questions and he doubled and tripled down. I thought maybe this was a strategy he had discussed with Trump beforehand, an attempt to normalize this behavior, but nope, only a few hours later he tried to retract these statements. Makes it clear the degree to which the environment inside the White House must be a chaotic dumpster fire at all hours.

 

It's nice to wake up and see that the Trump hating threads are still going on at full force, but the anti-Liberal ones are all being closed. Just take a gander at the last 20 or so forum threads and compare how many posts that were anti-Liberal have been closed compared to how many posts that are anti-Trump that are still open. Good to know where the priorities of this forum lies.

 

1. I agree he wasn't good at his job. 2. Private sector is more profitable with less oversight, I guess his 'skills' can be used there. 3. The one you forgot is that his boss tried to implicate him in the mess that Ukraine scandal created and he is currently facing a subpoena from congress.

I know that last one kinda was hard to remember so I thought I'd chime in to help out!

"Not a lot of people know this but, I didn't even want to make the call. The only reason I made the call was because Rick asked me to. Something about an LNG [liquefied natural gas] plant,"

OFFTOPIC:
How about that Mick Mulvaney briefing from yesterday! Emoluments Clause mean much? I've been thinking about opening another thread on it altogether as man I'd love to see a conservative viewpoint that traditionally is very concerned with it. Maybe tonight I can get something put together. If anyone rents out condos or timeshares here then they will understand some points I'll have to bring up even when Mick kept repeating at-cost / no profit. Love that the four places on the shortlist of 12 they narrowed down to were Hawaii, Utah, Utah again, and Trump's Florida property. I won't overrun this thread with any more discussion about it though.

I must need to take a trip out to Utah, who knew there were so many wonderful places that out of the entire nation they have two of the top four!

 

They totally got mad triggered. Let's also get our expensive Chinese-made red hats and wear them to the local coffee shop like tools, that'll show 'em!
