There are some famous quotes from Nixon just before he resigned where he's talking about how much he could gently caress over the country if he wanted to. Semi apocryphally, he said drunkely to advisers or staff, 'you know I could destroy the world if I wanted to'

CmdrRiker posted:If this latest offense turns out to not be enough to successfully impeach Trump, then will anything ever be? I am trying to re calibrate my expectations here. If this "latest" offense is the only thing that the House of Representatives focuses on then yep. Hopefully this is the can opener to pry open the rest of the worms. If your rep is not in on it just yet, feel free to yell at them LOUDER.

FizFashizzle posted:There's a reason the Joint Chiefs of Staff made a pact to ignore nuclear launch orders. Yeah there were a lot of other rumors around that, too, like JCS directing people to figure out where the nearest military unit that could be mobilized to washington dc was and to then have several other units on stand by in case nixon tried anything stupid. At the time these things were kind of whispered rumors, but in retrospect, knowing how vicious and how much of a drunk Nixon was towards the end, it's all pretty drat believable.

Nixon and the Chiefs "In the last days of 1971 President Richard Nixon and his closest aides met to discuss the astonishing discovery that the Joint Chiefs of Staff had been spying on the White House. Transcripts of Nixon's secret tapes of these meetings, published here for the first time, offer a case study in Nixon's paranoid style of governing—and his surprisingly successful efforts to salvage advantage from misfortune" The competency differential between then and now might be amusing. Maybe in 200 years? Not so much now.

Edmund Lava posted:Gabbard stated she’s not for it either. What the gently caress is going on in Hawaii? Trump likes Modi, Tulsi likes Modi. Tulsi is a bad Democrat. DJT Jr. is going to die alone and unloved and more importantly his dad is never going to show appreciation for all the treason he tried to commit, or any other sort of affection.

Stereotype posted: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. Case (finally) indicated his support for impeachment: https://www.staradvertiser.com/2019/09/24/breaking-news/ed-case-supports-trump-impeachment-inquiry/ But you're completely right about him. Also, I want to run against him too.

Ate My Balls Redux posted:I don't give a poo poo what Republican voters want. Her base absolutely wanted it done. Her base? California? What about all the other people who are representatives for all the other people in the country. In the house of..... representatives. Those folks just have to represent their constituency. Hey guess what happened in the last week? I'm going to need to know what county you moved the goalposts to so I can kick the next one. Also I know this is hard to follow so I'm going to put it in real simple words. the speaker of the House speaks for the majority of the house which we just got in the last few days. They are not the president. They represent the members of their district and the majority members of the House of Representatives. there's a lot more to be found on Wikipedia if you were too stoned during middle School.

Wark Say posted:Remember that Jr. is, perhaps unbelievably so, way loving dumber than his dad because his father has the excuse of being a senile, sundowning bundle of insecurities and narcissism on his mid 70's, while Junior is a man in his early 40's that's probably been in arrested development since dear old dad slapped him in front of his schoolmates... what, during his freshman year of college? Someone more knowledgeable than me in Trump-lore help me here. This is all true, but there is frankly no disadvantage to him in outright lying.

You still seem to be unclear on the concept that Speakers of the House can exert leadership, if they feel so compelled. The fact that Pelosi did not feel so compelled is the problem.

So I actually read the article and watched the video because I'm like 90% sure my dad did / will, and I wanna be able to rebut that poo poo. So. In the video, Biden brags about dickwaving the Ukranians into firing the prosecutor or else he'll get back on a plane and they won't get $1 billion in aid. So that's hosed up, and I don't think that's how the world should work - but as right wingers argue, that's how the world does work. (This will likely be a decent point to throw back at anyone making these arguments in your life, it staggers them a bit.) So gently caress that, it's dumb and dirty politics but it's not out of the norm. But this all then only fits into the right-wing narrative if you conveniently ignore the facts that the prosecutor A: had shelved the investigation like 6 months earlier (right?), and B: was deemed to be crooked by our intelligence community and needed to be replaced (i guess? Haven't done a ton more reading so if someone can tell me exactly how we came to the "he needs to be replaced" determination I'd much appreciate it),

About B, it wasn't just the US that wanted him gone, the EU wanted him out because he was stonewalling judicial reforms that Ukraine had agreed to implement (because it would have reduced the amount of power he had). Basically he was pissing off a lot of people both inside and outside of the country.

You don't have to defend any of this, man. They're both awful people and both will be dragged through the mud due to this impeachment inquiry. Even if the investigation was already shelved, he still said what he said.
