This seems to represent a pretty dramatic shift from their usual spin. Guess the Republicans aren't feeling so confident about this one.

This makes sense if you don't consider that time is a linear phenomenon. In that case, it may actually be possible to have all the information before the investigation.

Ed Case is a craven rich corporatist and Tulsi is a Republican, but you literally cannot win with an R next to your name in Hawaii. Both of them are going to have a tough primary fight and are relying on the olds who are really very conservative. Also no one in Hawaii really seems to give a poo poo about Trump, so they probably don't want to rock the boat.

I emailed Case though since he is my Rep. I want to run against him because he sucks.

One possible complication is that Trump messing with military aid and military purchases by countries in ongoing conflicts makes other countries MUCH less likely to want to buy or accept American military aid in the future. That directly harms American influence abroad and the pocketbooks of major defense donors.

good point. i think its also a much more streamlined version of the russia shitshow, it shows a pattern of trumps type of corruption and the whole Chud edifice has been cracking apart since 2018. its also like herstory said, its an easy memorable crime. its the tv drama momement where everyone realizes the obvious shithead monster is a shithead monster and actually fuckes them over for it and they have an "i am hosed" moment.

Tulsi is still running for President. I would be dismissive of her but she just qualified for the debate today so she still thinks she’s in it.

Weird lean though since every other major candidate supports impeachment. Even Biden has almost said it, and that is more than you would expect since is damaging to him if he calls for impeachment.

Reshape his presidency gently with a chainsaw, if can we do it right.

Emphasis on the loving "WE".

Florida Cop Who Arrested 2 Elementary Kids Fired; Was Previously Charged With Child Abuse
"Orlando Police have fired Officer Dennis Turner for violating department policy when he arrested two six-year-old children last week. But while Turner’s termination came swiftly (and amid widespread backlash), new light is being cast on the officer’s record of misconduct, including a previous charge of child abuse."

Thousands protest against new criminal code in Indonesia
"At least 40 injured in student protests over plans that include outlawing extramarital sex"

'Thousands of students have taken to the streets in Indonesia to protest against a “disastrous” draft criminal code that would include outlawing extramarital sex and a controversial new law that could weaken the nation’s anti-corruption body.'

GOP lawmaker to introduce bill requiring arrested DC protesters pay for police overtime
"GOP Rep. Jim Banks (Ind.) on Monday said that in response to climate protests that took place in downtown Washington, D.C., he plans to introduce a bill that would force arrested protesters to pay for police overtime.

"“Under my bill, a person will be responsible for public safety response costs incurred by the District of Columbia’s response to a demonstration if, in connection with the demonstration, the person is convicted of a felony or misdemeanor offense,” Banks tweeted."

Lesson of the Day: ‘Protesting Climate Change, Young People Take to Streets in a Global Strike’

It’s not so much the impeachment itself that’s important, it’s dragging out the dirty laundry he’s been hiding. There is less than a zero chance the GOP senators would vote for his removal from office, this is just to make Trump voters regret voting for him and try to primary him / not vote at all come November 2020.

They don't have any documents to misrepresent or witnesses to impugn, they just have Trump and Ghouliani openly admitting to crimes on national television. So they just aggressively insist the second thing never happened and then there isn't anything and how can you impeach based on nothing??!?
