There's a risk that McConnell could slow-walk the trial, forcing the Senators that are also candidates to be yanked around the country torn between campaigning and being present for Senate votes. Its mostly making the best of a really bad situation for them

It was only inevitable that the GOP would eventually perfect their strategy of electing someone so unbelievably terrible that any adequate response to him sounds like exaggeration.

I am not OK with misogynistic attacks on Mrs Trump. It just makes misogynistic attacks on any woman on social media more likely. She’s an utterly vacant person who cares nothing for anyone outside her circle of family and friends. As most conservatives are. Calling her a prostitute and spamming her with nudes doesn’t highlight this at all.

Pollyanna posted:So basically there is no path whatsoever to Trump getting actually removed from office, and the Senate trial is basically going to be a party-line vote intended to try and show voters that the GOP is a bunch of ghouls? There's a non-zero chance that Trump gets more deranged during the course of the trial and the Senate decides to remove, but it's really unlikely. It's all about making the Republicans look like lovely monsters voting party over country first

Yeah, it's not really clear what alternative course of action that guy would prefer here. Would he rather have a show trial later in the primary? During the general election? Never?

honestly, the only "lose" scenario for Dems is if they don't vote to impeach. Every other permutation is some variation of a political win, each with advantages and drawbacks. We often criticize democrats for being giant wusses too afraid to upset the apple cart. Suggesting that aggressively moving forward with impeachment while it still has the public interest is in any way bad is stupid as hell

Munkeymon posted:Making them vote ~a month before the election after months of extra embarrassing behavior by the toddler in chief has more value IMO You're misreading me, get close enough to the election and McConnell will simply drag the vote past election day, meaning we don't get the benefit of putting Senators on the record. Getting too close to November would be bad. That doesn't mean that I think January is the right time, or May. But I think anyone who is completely certain when the right time is - that person is talking out of their rear end. There's benefits and drawbacks to doing it at any given point.

Multiple expert legal testimonies agreeing that the law was broken, with breakdowns of which laws were specifically broken and by what actions, and I'm supposed to be shocked that this made the people investigating this more willing to impeach rather than less willing. Yes, that makes sense. That's how logic works.
