The issue isn't really that Donnie is "drawing on the walls with his own poo poo" lunatic. It's that millions of American voters are so twisted around that they refuse to acknowledge there's a problem no matter what he does.

Edit: Media Matters is going to be dropping some more Tucker tapes. These ones will be racist poo poo he's said. I expect less of an impact since his show right now is mostly racism that he barely makes an effort to conceal, if he bothers to at all.

Fox either won't report on the things that are embarrassing to him or will turn it into "look at the straws the democrats are grasping at" and the only people who are exposed to his twitter idiocy are people like us that are dumb enough to read it.

I think Pelosi is exactly right about this, sadly.

Really solid interview, for what it's worth. Basically, Nixon didn't have shameless Republicans and a Fox News propaganda outfit, so impeachment isn't really going to do poo poo anyways. The caveat is right too - as soon as Senate Republicans fall, impeach the motherfucker, but until then there isn't much of a point.

My initial gut reaction on this is, gently caress that and gently caress them. The country should be divided. Donnie is a poo poo-flinging dementia patient wrapped in a narcissistic shell of open white supremacy and blatant daily constitutional violations selling out the country for his personal profit. Pull the goddam impeachment trigger and stop letting poo poo slide. No Republicans won't vote for it and yes it will fail in the Senate. That's on them.

While I get the calculus behind this, it still sounds like "eh, gently caress it. Too hard! What can we do?"

It's reminiscent of when Clinton was asked about universal healthcare in the 2016 primaries and she kept saying "ACA is as good as it gets guys, trying for UHC/MFA would be way too hard and not worth the effort!"

It's almost like telling people that things are too hard to pull off makes them not want to bother with you or something.

To some extent, it's giving everyone involved election cover.

Moderates (idiots) are scared that impeachment proceedings will gently caress up their re-election path, a la Clinton impeachment.

Liberals want Trump out right now, but know impeachment is toast in the Senate. So, they get to yell about the lack of progress being Pelosi's fault. If they get asked why they're not introducing impeachment resolutions like they did last Congress, they just blame Pelosi some more.

Pelosi gets to shelve the issue and it's not like she cares about being a huge villain. She also dances the line between Moderates (idiots) and Liberals so the Democratic kitten herd is mostly kept held together. She also has a gigantic caveat in her statement if the Mueller Investigation changes anything.

Democratic Presidential Candidates win because they say anything they want about the subject, knowing that it's non-binding either way. They can take any of the above approaches and still have a solid "WE NEED TO BEAT THIS MOTHERFUCKER IN 2020, THAT'S THE SOLUTION" rallying cry.

Another one of those cases where the only fix was to not elect the idiot in the first place.

Yeah I was just about to mention this. I see that as being a way to give her cover that if things do turn up where if even Lindsey "DC's most eligible bachelor" Graham gets the vapors, she can go right ahead and initiate impeachment proceedings.


Like I said, I totally get it and I think the calculus is certainly there that it benefits the Dems in the long run, but it's still kind of poo poo.

Mueller could provide tapes of Donnie raping a white baby and it wouldn't change things for the vast majority of them.

this is pretty much how watergate was until the supreme court ruled the tapes had to be turned over


the gop did the same poo poo for nixon they're doing for trump, and they'll do it up to the final second its still an option

honestly its going to come down to letting him walk if he resigns in agreement for not prosecuting the family
