It's impeachment, nothing is going to distract from this story. We've only got the two other modern impeachment proceedings to go off of, but both Clinton and Nixon impeachments absolutely dominated the national discourse and media for months, and we're in like... week 2. "Bernie Sanders suspends campaign after cardiac incident" is getting only passing mention.

Apparently Perry thought the Department of Energy was in charge of that sweet oil graft and when he found out he was the chief nuke bomb guy for the USA he astonishingly realized he was totally out of his depth and occasionally listens to the professionals.

There’s another factor- differential non response bias. Following bad stories about a politician, their supporters are less inclined to respond to pollsters and are underrepresented. The opposite is true for the opponents. This issue can often be difficult or impossible for even the best pollsters to account for, even when weighting for demographics.

There’s real movement in those polls- and it seems like something finally matters- but the data are guaranteed to be very noisy for a while.

If a society decided that shoplifting is a jailworthy crime, and it can be determined that you will never stop shoplifting, then you stay in the jail.

If there's one thing the US desperately needs while having a corrupt government and a non-working constitution, it's a sharp increase in the prison population, because that's well-known to be too low in this country. Lock these irredeemable jaywalkers up for life!

Even then, if someone is persistently shoplifting, there's some deeper issue going on. Jail is never an answer to a problem. At best it's an intervention to help but time to find other solutions.

A transcript, for those who don't want to watch the video.
"Shorn of its rambling character and in not so many words, this is the essence of what the president communicates: ‘We've been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what? I don't see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you, though. And I'm going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it. On this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people, not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the attorney general of the United States, my attorney general Bill Barr. He’s got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him. And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy. You’re going to love him, trust me. You know what I’m asking and so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And by the way, don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked.’

One thing that's clear too is that Trump would never in a million years be able to cite or quote what Schiff said that was so bad, or how it mischaracterized anything Trump said. He just says it was "horrible" or whatever.

It's exactly the same as how he attacked the Squad: just kept saying Omar had said "horrible things about Israel" and so on. He has NO IDEA what his enemies have actually said. Just that people have told him they said bad stuff and he should be mad about it.

Yeah, I don't know actually. If all he heard from Omar was the "benjamins" comment and the "hypnotized" comment, I don't trust that he'd even have been able to make the leap to painting those things as antisemitic or anti-Israel. I feel like he had to have had it explained to him, probably by Fox News, and without any specifics, just breathless outrage that he's copying.

fun fact: wacky deli was explicitly written about the show it appeared in

guy could not loving stand the wacky horseshit of kids TV and the fuckers kept giving him money to do it and it was driving him insane

it was less kids tv and more that he got roped into running a tv show that kept renewed and he kept trying to get out of it. Wacky Delly was a late season 3 episode and it really shows his frustrations ot that point

Murray's wife had killed herself during the preproduction of Rocko about 2 months before the production actually started (after they beat Sniz & Fondue for a Nicktoons slot), and Murray never really got a chance to sort that out personally before the show started

he thought it wasn't going to get renewed after the 1st season and he would sort his issues out then, but it got renewed twice more before he put his foot down and said he was gone after season 4, and they could use his #2 Stephen Hillenbrand to run the show without him. (Murray basically made him showrunner in season 3 just for this reason)

Nickelodeon said no season 4, Murray left but would eventually go back to doing childrens tv after a while while Hillenbrand went onto make Spongebob Squarepants (which also beat out Sniz & Fondue for a Nicktoons slot)
