The longer he's in office and the more crimes he racks up, the worse it looks for the Republicans and the less power he has to do anything (while still keeping Pence from actually doing anything). The second he's out of office is the second Pence gets to actually act and no-one wants that.
I guess that makes sense if other Republicans in power are not also in his cult of personality.

Zanetti can't spell "spinach" and also thinks sexual harassment is a necessary component of being a human male (and that trans, agender and non-binary humans existing at all lessens maleness as a concept). I consider these two facts linked.

It's more the actual, concrete evidence. Like even though it was obvious it's what was happening, there's a difference between something being definitely true and having the evidence that it's true.

It's the equivalent of watching a murder happen in public, nobody reacts to it and then he goes free because he disposed of the murder weapon, which there is video of.

so is the evening standard opposed to corbyn or

The current editor of the Evening Standard is the previous Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer (the.. guy in charge of the budget? I don't know what the US equivalent is exactly), who really, really dislikes Theresa May for both political and petty personal reasons and seems to have taken an editorial position in a London newspaper at least in part to dunk on her. So not pro-Corbyn but very much anti-May.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

BiggerJ posted:

I'd like to formally suggest two new rules for Gay Abortion Award nomiations:

1. There is no longer a limit to how many cartoons each poster may nominate for each award; we're nominating by the seat of our pants now and it would suck to use up one's chance to nominate something worse that comes along and have to beg others to nominate it.
2. All nominations across all categories except Best Edit/Parody are now automatically considered for Overall Worst Political Cartoon. Cartoons that do not quite fit into any of the other categories well enough may still be nominated specifically for Overall Worst.

I'd like to endorse these changes. What do others think? We didn't have much discussion before.

I'm fine with 1, but 2 seems like it would make the category way too large, so I'd say manually nominate the overall worst too, but allow multiple entries as per 1 so you don't hold back because something worse may (read: will) come along.

Hot take: the first two panels of this are good, but he took a hard turn into angry-old-man poo poo with the third and fourth

Beto O'Rourke's star is starting to fall, but he was probably the best recent example of the vague platitude type stuff you see out of a lot of Dem politicians (Cory Booker is another frequent offender)

Of course Rall is still Rall so he couldn't resist making it about "IDPOL :bahgawd:" halfway through for no particular reason

It is a lose lose situation. Trump is a hostile foreign agent doing everything he can to destroy western democracy for his own gains while Pence is an old school bigot that wants to do all he can to directly destroy the lives of those he sees as a stain on humanity. Either man being in charge is a nightmare scenario. The only positive outcome would be if Muller found evidence Pence was in on the collusion and did something illegal or shameful enough that he'd resign immediately.

Honestly since we've now powered through into the halfway point of this term the best-case outcome might be to hold off until it's close enough before the next election that Trump's removal does serious harm to the GOP's campaign efforts (they have to suddenly find a replacement for him etc) and Pence doesn't have time to get any of his Handmaid's Tale poo poo into place in the chaos

I feel if Trump is guilty then his whole apparatus should be tossed out. The crooked president should not have his VP take over. If Pence didn’t know about it then he’s just as incompetent and unfit for office.

What did Spiro Agnew do? What did he know? There's no reason for Pence to follow "protocol" but I think he's more likely to do so.
