i wonder if there was a bunch of dipshits on the left during the Watergate investigation that were like we shouldn't impeach Nixon and instead beat him at the ballot box

or if that's more of a singular thing of our era

I mean the investigation didn't really kick into gear until after he bulldozed his way to re-election.

I mean I'm sort of amused by how utterly petty and insecure Trump is to be making fun of someone else's neck (considering the horrifying condition of his own), but yeah.

Rudy is of course not in charge of anything, at all, but it would be extremely fun to see the entire House set up a folding card table on the floor next to the bathrooms in the distance for him to sit at while he gets probed about his crimes (!).

Is anyone else concerned that apart from the Trump stuff, that targeting Biden on Ukraine will boost his approval among the party. The more Trump leans into it being about investigating him the more attention he will grab and the media will run with it and when we finally get Trump nailed we end up with loving Joe Biden. This thread has moved something like 40 pages today so sorry if I missed if anyone else shared my concerns and it's too early to count the eggs.

Hunter Biden receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Ukrainian company while his dad was leading diplomatic negotiations with that country is very shady, and it's not whataboutism or defending Donald Trump to point that out.

In a vacuum, sure. But if you never brought it up before this scandal broke out it sure is. Context matters. There’s a reason Trump has been bleating about it nonstop for days now.

clearly Nixon carried 49 states because McGovern stuck too close to the center so we shouldn't go chasing these Watergate conspiracies and focus instead on the issues

Don Lemon played a clip of Hillary from today where she laid out a Republican talking point about impeachment grinding the house to a halt. How is she so bad on every single issue?

Booker was on the program at the same time and his face spoke volumes about what a lovely take it was.

The Republicans also successfully managed to paint Watergate as the Democrats attempting to smear the President on the eve of the election. IIRC it actually hurt them in the election, which is obviously insane in retrospect.

There was a whole lot less of a divide at the time, in both directions. "Left" and "Right were a bit more murky; lot's had to do with what reps could bring back to their constituencies. Representatives and Senators still had to go back to their voters and argue their positions about impeachment to an unsure electorate, at least at first. Then more information came out and it went bad for Nixon and the polls tanked on both "sides".

Short answer: dipsits and heroes, left and right.

Rudy legit has brain damage. He had a really bad fall and head injury while drunk a couple of years ago. He's always been a shitstain but he's become quite unhinged since then.

And nobody will do anything about it, just like nobody will acknowledge Trump's growing dementia.

Somebody will stick a pole up Rudy's rear end and invite him to be puppeteered on the TV, with his consent and insistence no less. Amazing that we are surprised.

Dying throes of the Deep State, most likely.

In a way, that assessment is right. Trump has been escalating bad behavior and cleaning house of everyone that speaks up or is uncomfortable. He’s trying to surround himself with true believers such that he becomes untouchable. The only problem is that you start to surround yourself with the people that have bad cognitive dissonance that can’t interpret any of the data that they’re getting. See Devin Nunes suing his own cow.

Also, I believe he meant perfect with regards to the call in that it perfectly conveyed an implicit quid pro quo therefore, in Trumps mind, “perfectly” legal.

But over half a dozen officials from as late as May-July were talking to the whistle blower. That means that people that have stuck with him for three years or people have recently joined despite being aware of how bad he was, still thought his behavior was beyond the pale. It seems like something as simple as packing his staff with true believers is beyond Trump.

Is it raining?
Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing
so the danger must be growing.
Are the fires of hell a glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes! The danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing.
And they're certainly not showing
any signs that they are slowing...
