uhhh..... thats not subtle.

The Ukraine president is in a terrible bind because even if he concludes that Trump is 100% out in January 2021 (not a certainty), there's still plenty of time for Trump to hurt Ukraine either directly or indirectly. Sure, he can quietly ask Senators for help in influencing Trump, but now that its out in the open and he got his military aid anyway, he's got to smile, bow out, and not do anything to hurt Trump.

That's fair, I just wish Democratic leaders weren't already saying they want to be done by the end of the year. It seems to me that broadcasting that is not the right move.

You have 6 house committees digging up poo poo right now. 6. Why don't use use all of them to stretch the GOP's defenses, and then uncover a plan B, C, and D in case the Ukraine thing falls though like Russia did?

it doesn't take all that much effort to just keep writing letters that say "no, make me, neener neener" and appealing to the supreme court

i also don't understand the proposed plan to be drop all the other stuff, just keep investigating it but not wait on it to move the ukraine charges for a vote/trial

I do think this is bad enough that it will semi-permanently reduce his long term approval by another 1 or even 2%, even if late next year that particular cohort of voters cant quite remember why they decided they hate him now.

Right on schedule too, about every 4-6 months he does something else to drag his disapproval up higher, and we were due for another major event.

I'm also thinking the hand-picked replacement has, miraculously, seen the pattern with people who are in Trump's orbit and decided he wanted no part of being another Flynn, or Papadopalous, or Lewandowski, or Cohen, or Manafort, etc.

According to the Washington Post

quote:

Multiple Judiciary Committee members said that they expected probes of other matters to continue unabated and would potentially contribute to impeachment articles drafted later this year.

“There’s clearly enough evidence before the Judiciary Committee, in my view, to support articles of impeachment on a number of issues,” said Rep. David N. Cicilline (D-R.I.), a member of both the Judiciary panel and the House leadership team.

Place your bets
The problem that Trump is running into that I think makes it different this time is that he turns military funding into a domestic and international political issue. If a country doesn’t play ball, no money for jets which hurts the MIC. It also means that the source of funding becomes a more hotly charged political issue because Democrats aren’t going to be happy to provide funding that Trump will then use as a bludgeon against Democrats.

The MIC knows it’s got a good situation going and won’t do anything to rock the boat. We will see if this immediately translates to alarm bells going off in the MIC and applying pressure to team R not to gently caress up the $900 billion per year in funding.

There is going to be a coffee table book one day once this nightmare is, I don’t want to save “over”, it will never be over, but at least not as active as it was before, that’s just going to be pictures of people reacting to poo poo Trump has said or done in their immediate presence. Like Buzz Aldrin’s bug eyes at Trump’s Space Force ramble, Trudeau looking down disgusted at Trump’s handshake attempt, that dude from the Al Smith dinner.

I’m telling you, there’s a whole book out there.

I don't know if this is trying to read tea leaves or not, but that tweet from a few pages back, where Roberts randomly decided to blurt out that the SCOTUS isn't political, seems odd to me. Why now? Is it a subtle attempt to signal that the SCOTUS wouldn't protect Trump during impeachment proceedings?
