Young Freud posted:Boris should've resigned the moment he heard ruling. You know the first order of business is going to be a no-confidence vote. Actually, they can't no confidence first or he'd already be out. They have to do a couple of things to make sure that they don't Brexit out before a new election can be held. One of those things may include throwing Johnson into a dungeon.

And all it took was Trump going after one of their own for some lovely nepotism. Truly the Rubicon had been crossed at that moment. Paradoxish posted:She's stuck at this point. A majority of the caucus is in favor of impeachment, so there's no way this isn't going forward. This has been true since last year. It really is the fact that Trump is going after the presumed candidate that has made her move.

Rick Perry is a shithead who couldn't pass Meats, but I doubt this is part of Trump Ukraine scheme. Perry hasn't been one of Trump's crimebuddies and cabinet members going to a foreign leader's inauguration when diplomacy matters is a normal thing. Which doesn't mean don't ask. Just that I doubt they'll find anything here.

theflyingorc posted:Trump PROBABLY won't be removed by the Senate Trump being removed is going to require some amazing self-destruction that directly threatens the senate republicans. We're talking things like actually having Adam Schiff arrested or announcing that he'll institute mandatory abortions in exchange for democrats stopping impeachment. Trump's working on it; I think by Thanksgiving we'll have a much better idea if he'll manage to shoot himself in the foot enough to get republican senators on board.

Dr. Red Ranger posted:Trump making a dumbassed claim about making new nuclear weapons means he's either making poo poo up again, or someone accidentally told him a state secret and forgot that he leaks like sieve. At this point I'm going to go with the former but the latter isn't out of play. He may have even told Putin before he told anyone else. If he means manufacturing more of them, it's not a state secret. I briefly spoke to a recruiter a year or so ago about a job that turned out to be manufacturing parts for new bombs (I thought it was for nuclear power plants). If he means whole new weapon designs, then that would be different.

There's no way that Trump doesn't use this time to demand criminal justice reform to protect presidents. I know he's going to back out, but it's going to be so good if he actually does it. eviltastic posted:...the Lanham Act? In his capacity as President and political campaign, and not on behalf of his businesses? It would never get to that point. This is a summary judgment in the first motion followed by sanctions against the attorneys who were stupid enough to file it situation.

I like those odds! I also have been figuring it closer to 10% at the moment. And falling as Trump gets enough time past the stuff that's driving the wedges between Trump and those senators that it falls out of their goldfish brains. Herstory Begins Now posted:I have a harder time seeing a realistic path to Trump not get removed from office than the other way around, tbh We're talking about people who are explicitly saying things that amount to "a republican president cannot do anything wrong and you are going against God to suggest otherwise". The senate votes really are not there. If they impeached right now and sent it over for a trial I think that they might get five republican senators to vote for removal. That said, Trump has been doing some very stupid things lately and it's possible he'll do something that forces a lot more republican senators into revolt. Remember that it took Trump actually threatening the democrat party directly by setting up crooked investigations to finally get them willing to start advancing on impeachment; it's going to take something on that scale to move any amount of republicans.

PerniciousKnid posted:Are Texas and Montana similar states to Kansas? They haven't been completely obliterated by republicans going full republican which is what's making Kansas shift (I'm not sold on that being a permanent change, either). Texas, however, has demographics that should be making republicans very nervous and has been looking like they're on the verge of a big political shift for a while. I don't know about Montana since why would someone pay attention to Montana.

There are times for cordial politeness to assholes. The ball park is never one of them and at this point I'm not sure any such time exists for Donald Trump. I'd say maybe in court as he's on trial for his crimes, but frankly I think he deserves heckling even then.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Would Trump's Senate trial be public? We've got exactly two precedents to look back on and only one since broadcast journalism existed. So first, there's nothing stopping the senate from doing this in a closed session if they really, really want to. They'll have to change a few rules, but that's trivial when they'll have to establish the rules for their trial anyway. It's a safe bet that it'll be on television. It's too significant of event for republicans not to want to use it for grandstanding. It's just if they wanted to keep people out, they could.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:We give Nate a lot of poo poo for his bad punditry but the fact remains that he was closer to "right" last time than almost anyone else, laying out the exact path Trump would need to win. He did say it was unlikely, but he never said it was impossible, so I'm more inclined to trust him when it comes to numbers. Listen to Nate on numbers and polling, remember that he's talking about probabilities so a 70% chance of a win means a 30% chance of a loss, and tell him to shut the gently caress up whenever he gets into punditry.

A GIANT PARSNIP posted:Also Trump doesn’t believe he’s had any consequences from shutting down the government so he will absolutely do it to try and stop the impeachment. Not only will I not be shocked if this happens, I have been fully expecting it to happen since they started the proper inquiry. Trump couldn't engage with Congress in a meaningful way when they were covering up his crimes. There's zero chance he doesn't try to use a shutdown as leverage and almost no chance that he doesn't go through with it. And it's iffy on whether he'll back down when the country is about to start burning like what happened last time.

canepazzo posted:"Did that lawyer ever work for me, which would be a conflict?" Trump has hired over 87% of lawyers in the country. This is because as soon as he hires one he refuses to pay them. And obviously using a lawyer that previously worked for someone and no longer has any ties to them would be a conflict of interest.
