Clearly Democrats hate Thanksgiving, as nobody is going to want to visit their older relatives when this goes down. So unpatriotic.

drat that's some twisted logic. Like, very clearly they are NOT trying to impeach him for incompetence. If that were the case, they wouldn't have gone after him if he succeeded at getting Ukraine to aid his campaign. I cannot believe the dogshit that the "intellectual" right-wing publish regularly.

Maybe I read it wrong, but Ambassador Taylor's opening statements made it sound like President Zelenskyy was like 2 days from going on CNN and announcing the investigation into the Biden's before the news about the Ukraine aid dropped and shined a light on the whole thing.

This makes perfect sense. After all, if I were to pull out a gun in front of multiple witnesses and video cameras and try to kill someone, but my poor aim causes me to miss, then I've committed no crime. I'd be totally innocent, the cops can't touch me. It's not like "attempted" murder is a crime, right?

There were similar arguments after the Mueller Report came out, regarding Trump ordering his lawyer to fire Mueller. I can't tell you the number of people I saw who argued that because the lawyer ignored Trump's order, it was not obstruction.

I mean, if the workweek were shortened, you don't think it would be better? 3 day weekends every week is a lot more life to live and I would love the hell out of it.

If you follow through the link to the daily caller article, these aren't seven hard nos. Most of the statements are worded to give a huge amount of latitude to change their mind, and are, basically, saying they do not support the impeachment inquiry. Not one of the statements the Daily Caller cites are outright saying "i will not vote to remove." Hell, just look at the trapdoor in this statement:

quote:

Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe’s office also said that Inhofe had ruled out voting for Trump’s removal from office “at this time.” The Caller also reached out following Taylor’s testimony Tuesday, but did not receive a response by press time.

France mandating a 35 hour work week was a HUGE talking point among the right in the early 2000s. Sign of laziness, decadence, hell in a handbasket, there but for the grace of God go we.

This says they're going to "take it public" in mid-november: i.e. they'll be finished with depositions and start getting people to testify publicly. Not that they'll hold a vote to impeach immediately.

Yeah I can see that line of argument coming up but what greedy capitalist wants to admit that they're paying people for hours where they aren't productive? It's proven that people are more productive when they're happier and extending time to them to live their lives would go a long way towards that.
