Saw this elsewhere. With Trumps counsel shouting about how there are no crimes, I feel like this would be a crime in a criminal trial.

Not a crime. Without more, making contributions to political candidates is not bribery.

How come no one is bringing up the fact that Dershowitz was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein, and was accused of rape by several women who were underage at the time?

How is this piece of poo poo garbage person getting away with that? Every news article and broadcast needs to say "Alleged child rapist Alan Dershowitz is representing Trump in the impeachment trial, because of loving course he is."

because this isnt actually a legal proceeding and the entire idea of oversight in our government relies on the honor system and is effectively toothless.

Because people on :airquote:both sides:airquote: in congress would also be implicated in that accusation, to say nothing of donors, the owners and higher-ups of news outlets, etc.

Of course, they couldn't even get that right, since the shot they decided to take will also sink Biden.

One of the major points of the good friday agreement was the removal of a hard border between the UK and the Republic Of Ireland along the Ulster border.

I went through a border crossing while traveling through South Armagh to Dublin back in 1993 and the border checkpoint was an order of magnitude better constructed and fortified than anything I've seen anywhere else.

I thought that aspect of the agreement was more about demilitarizing the border.

e: like the difference between the US/Canada border before 9/11 and the South Armagh to Dublin border in 1993 - both are borders, but one is a lot 'harder'

Johnson's Brexit puts N Ireland in a weird state, where there is no hard border between N Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, but there will be some (lots? Total? Who needs details, it's brexit baby) checks on goods going from N Ireland to the rest of the UK. This means that politically it's still the UK, but economically and maybe down the road, culturally more integrated with the RoI than the rest of the UK.

For the Republicans/nationalists (the mostly Catholic side) that's fine. But if you're an Ulster Unionist, your whole politics are about not becoming part of the RoI and staying in the UK. That will became a lot less so for most points of fact about what it means to live in a country - they'll face a harder border with their own country than they will the RoI.

Consequently, the Ulster Unionists are very unhappy. They lost their political leverage with the last election, which is why this deal is happening. Their key remaining leverage is implicit threats of violence (this should be familiar to watchers of conservative politics on this side of the Atlantic). Thus, saying the GFA is violated by this brexit agreement.*


*Is it actually a violation? I have no idea. But thinking it's a violation is very party line

Because the news executives are also alleged child rapists and total coincidence, the attorney general's dad hired Epstein to teach at a private high school
