As a Cubs fan, it felt really good to finally win the World Series and I kind of hope the Indians somehow manage to get back to the WS and win it this year. Unless they are also playing the Cubs again. Also, thanks for Davis and Zobrist.

obama did some of that

frankly I'm surprised someone like sessions didn't bring up impeachment for how they handled marijuana

iirc he didn't enforce laws that he considered unconstitutional

that is completely different and also normal

I don't think he'll be impeached for stopping the payments, just that it is going to cause Comey levels of hell-raising

Does impeaching take 60 or 51? Because I'll lmbo if Trump's one weird trick to get rid of the fillibuster ends with 51 people sacking him.

Impeachment requires 1/2 of the house, iirc, conviction requires 2/3 of the senate.

Pretty sure it's 2/3rds majority so they'd need somewhere in the range of 65-66

For real though, I wonder how long it would take Trump to piss off like 15 Senate repubs if he really put his mind to it. Like, four days?

People I know who are close to poo poo in DC say he's planning to have a press conference or something Tuesday to announce he's going to "let Obamacare fail" by stopping payment on all subsidies.

I've been reading a few articles on how that could turbofuck him though and all the red states though.


Here's a thread that explains it:

also trump's major weakness, besides the fact that he's a mentally-challenged orange nazi, is that he has no loving clue what his authority is.

like we've seen that a lot of the government can straight-up ignore his decrees without consequence

Everyone please take note; this is the lesson our country has desperately needed to learn since at least Nixon and if you take one lesson away from this whole trump debacle it should be this exact sentence.

i mean trump would be extremely dangerous if he knew what he could accomplish and how he could accomplish it

instead he thinks the presidency works by divine decree and his word is law, and while he has godlike invincibility he has no other powers of note
