In fact, I don't think impeachment will ever happen for Trump, because it would require a series of stupid decisions. First, it requires a blue wave big enough to flip control of the House - possible but not certain. Okay, great- flipping the Senate is less likely. What happens if the house votes for Impeachment but McConnell doesn't want to take it up? I'm honestly not sure, but let's assume some Garland Nomination-esque trickery. So flip the Senate as well, in a Blue Wave of our hopes and dreams.

At that point, I think you'll have your 16 Republican senators willing to take an honest vote, assuming Mueller's report is a slam dunk. So you offer Trump a Nixonian way out - and Trump says no. There's stupid, and there's suicidal.

More likely Trump doesn't run in 2020, doesn't get the nomination in 2020, or doesn't win the election in 2020.

If impeachment proceedings pass the House, I don't believe the Senate actually can ignore that according to Senate rules. IIRC they have to bring it to the floor.

He will probably get away with it but once he’s out I’m hoping he really hosed up the Trump name and it starts to crush his super stupid empire.

No poo poo, it's like people forget that sex is a skill like any other and someone who does it professionally will have more experience than your average person and will likely be better at it.

Porn sex is made specifically to look good on camera, not to actually be enjoyable for the performers

The most important sex organ in the human body is the brain. If someone thinks something is hot it will be hot. Also do you think that just because these people who have sex for a living don't understand the mechanics enough or have enough experience to make it enjoyable when they do it off the clock?

Bicyclops posted:

Plenty of people are good at sex that are not porn stars.

Most people suck at sex, because most people think it's just something that you kind of naturally know how to do , so they just tend to fumble around until something fits and hump away until they nut, or women who just lay there hoping that he'll finish soon. To be really good at sex requires knowledge and skills that aren't instinctual. Of course there are people who are good at sex who aren't porn stars. There are people who are good at basketball who aren't NBA Stars but if you want to win a pick up a game and you have a choice between Lebron James and some street player who you gonna pick?

Sorry pet peeve.

That said I can't imagine that someone who fundamentally lacks empathy the way that Trump and his Chud followers do could ever actually be any good given that to really be a good lover you have to be able to empathize with your partner, you have to be willing to put someone else's pleasure and happiness ahead of your own.

Come to think about it that would explain why someone like Trump would want to have sex with a porn star given that being an actress they can at least act like he's not a pathetic lover.

That actually suggests pretty much what we already knew.

The non--college educated and elderly portion of the electorate was higher than previously thought and Trump overperformed among those demographics relative to previous Republican candidates. In addition, those demographics are overrepresented in Florida, the Midwest, and Appalachia, which are the areas that gave Trump his EC win.

The groups that Clinton did well with - under 30's and college educated - were a smaller portion of the electorate.

I think it's a pretty useless metric to find the median of. Like I'm sure voters react differently to a politician committing financial crimes as opposed to, say, molesting kids, or even closing bridges out of spite

They also don't have to act with the kind of speed people are assuming. Maddow's guest last night cited an impeachment of a federal judge several years back that the Senate let sit for over a year before they worked it in to their schedule.

Not in my case, i assure you. i've just been watching and listening to "that will never happen! Chill" for about 3 years now and it keeps happening and I am not chilling. Best case scenario and Trump does go down for something, 40% of the American populace will see it as nothing more than proof of a Deep State coup and, in their minds, will only serve to validate their paranoia and misguided opinions.

Anecdotal, sure, but I live in a pretty red area and hear some insane poo poo on a pretty regular basis. I don't have a lot of faith in the average american voter.

No, just that it doesn't mean much one way or the other. Most people have lots of sex. Pornography is a fantasy version and if someone expects a tryst with a star to be like the video they watched and blow their mind they have trouble distinguishing between fantasy and reality. It's probably going to be pretty good because it's sex with an attractive person pretending to be into you as part of their job, but it's a fantasy that it's some kind of pinnacle to aspire to and delivery a round of high fives.

It's not that high.
