Jesus so many hot takes about politics it's like I'm standing on the sun.

The correct singular and only method for voting is from the rooftops - and that #2 is supersized

What do you think impeachment does?

Well it's never been used to successfully remove a president so what exactly do you think it does?

Unless you can put the Senate in a position where it has to convict, nothing except waste time. Maybe get Trump to tweet angrily.

Impeachment is a weak goal.

Well since that's unlikely what do you think the value of the political theater of it all would be? Certainly Bill's impeachment affected Hilldawg's run down the line. It might have a ton of political value absent a conviction even.

The wall doesn’t have poo poo on the U.S. highway and interstate road systems in any measurable terms. Cost more, insanely larger, and more steel and concrete and asphalt than 3 border walls. Our highway networks are insane.

It could in the sense that it's being built over poo poo terrain instead of surveyed routes but yeah you might be right

Lots of those roads were built back when the technology to build them was awful in comparison to now. Especially in the mountains.

I wouldn't say any of that was easier.

For additional reference, Obama wanted to address the country on immigration and got denied time on the major networks in 2014. The networks generally cede time to the President for apolitical announcements, but generally don't do so for purely political statements.

She wasn't even a cop! She was a district attorney. Are we calling prosecutors class traitors now? Good grief.

I haven't even decided who I'm going to support - the primaries haven't happened yet! But man am I ever concerned that a vicious, contentious primary is just going to sow more division in the Democratic party and I hope whoever the eventual nominee is we all come together to support them and pull that voting lever, rather than relatively minor ideological disagreement let Trump win a second term.

E: This includes Warren whose policy I like but personally I think she's not the sharpest and Gabbard who I called a traitor in ~2015 for sucking up to Al-Assad, but tbh she can thank Trump for that no longer being disqualifying.

Cops are the focal point of social unrest because people are too chickenshit to tell their racist uncles/cousins/parents/partners to stop being racist pieces of poo poo. Cops are also powertripping shitheads who abuse their discretion and have little to no regard for societal norms when it comes to policing minorities or people they think they can harass with no consequence.

In summation gently caress cops and the people who call them

I was about to edit my above post, because there's another option: Trump shows up, goes on the House floor, and the lights turn off and the cameras don't broadcast.

https://twitter.com/gzornick/status/1088128136397631491?s=19

This came into play in the House sit-in over guns back in 2015/2016, I forget when. Democrats sat in the House to semi-shut it down, Paul Ryan cut the C-SPAN feed, and the members had to broadcast on Periscope and other live streaming sites.

Mmm yes the president of the United States inviting himself over to the chamber of a co-equal branch of our federal government. If I had any faith in the American electorate I'd think this was a bad move but Trump's prior WWF experience is a real advantage here.
