Possibly as a "convince them the future is on your side" kind of thing. It's been a while since I saw that article though, it was maybe a year or two ago? [edit]Ok, I'm not the only one that remembers that.

It’s just perfect that an organization like that is mainly advertising to people who would have adult kids by that point

Which senators want to go on-record saying military aid should be tied to Biden investigations? Why not write that poo poo up as a treaty with Ukraine 🤔 ewiley fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Oct 23, 2019 |

We've really moved from "no quid pro quo" to "all quid pro quo are good"? Because at this point the goalposts have moved so far and so fast I think I see them out in the parking lot getting ready to drive away.

TulliusCicero posted:The fact that all he can do is replace incompetent henchman with more incompetent henchmen is amazing Nah that’s all Trump’s decision. He always surrounded himself with yes men who are even dumber than he is in business and doesn’t know how to do it any other way in government. Which worked “fine” for him before because being successful at business wasn’t actually what his game was. Now that he’s in a position where his decisions actually carry weight and are more publicly scrutinized he’s too stupid/stubborn to actually attempt competency because underhanded blatantly idiotic decision making is all he knows

Democrats should stop using “quid pro quo” and start saying extortion. The language is abstracting something that most people recognize as wrong.

I think were really close to that now. I want to say it reached high 50s before he resigned and were at about 55 now. Once it hits 60 in a week or two, you're going to see some real poo poo. Cant wait for the angry tweets after they tell him they cant protect him anymore and ask him to resign.

PIZZA.BAT posted:*sigh* Rule of thumb is if Trump tweets "success" it is a lie. As other goons mentioned 100s of known ISIS prisoners have escaped, possibly thousands. Putin/Erdogan agreed to a "safe zone" and "evacuation of the Kurds" without any input from the Kurds themselves. It's essentially state-sponsored ethnic cleansing and there will most likely be some sort of guerilla operations against the Turkish troops in the region, along with the general regional instability. In addition, as other goons have mentioned, US influence in the middle east is eroding, fast. I don't think the Israelis or Saudi's are too happy either. From a US foreign policy perspective, it is a disaster all-around for US interests in the region. Whoever takes over after Trump will only have Israel/SA as "Allies" in the middle east, and both have proven to be really lovely allies. The only silver lining I can find is that literally no one in US politics is happy with this other than Trump himself. Even his own party can't swallow this pill.

I'd have to see the crosstabs to see if they use "Registered Republican" or "Republican leaning," because if it's the former, that enthusiasm number breakdown by party doesn't mean much. RVs are only ~30% republican

Also lost in the Republican diarrheal Gish Gallop is that soliciting foreign assistance in the first ducking place is an impeachable offense—regardless of extortion or quid pro quo. You are assuming that Democrats even get heard. Most of the reason that "quid pro quo" is getting media play is Trump screaming there wasn't one as though saying "this is not a crime!" while committing a crime does anything, with Fox dutifully but a bit confusedly amplifying him. As for people wondering why they did this - don't forget Trump is a huge sucker for conspiracy theories. In addition the the Hunter Biden bullshit he was also pressing for them to investigate a Q-anon level theory that Democrats hacked a company in Ukraine (which didn't exist in Ukraine) and planted fake evidence that Russia was the one behind the DNC hacking.
