they're trying to minimize her words as coming from someone who is more of a child than a teenager, also they are authoritarians and if they can physically batter someone who says or does something they don't like then they will advocate for that. this is one of the reasons folks still hold firm on spanking, because it's one of the few times you're allowed to hit someone repeatedly and not everyone thinks you're a monster for it

People who support corporal punishment in schools are monsters.

This right here is why Trump is only part of the problem. The entire GOP needs to be shunned from public life.

I particularly enjoyed how after his first tweet blabbing on about how he was correct in using the "hyphen", he completely misses the correct usage of a hyphen in his very next tweet:

"Obama loving Peter Baker" has a very different literal meaning than "Obama-loving Peter Baker".

Not really, they're both racist as gently caress. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to echo "n* loving" into "Obama loving".

This seems like a lovely opinion or am I missing online sarcasm? How is it a 'perversion of journalistic ethics' to protect a whistleblower?

the individual defying the subpoena - even at the order of State - is taking a personal risk. they can be persuaded to do that by, basically, herd immunity - if everyone's flouting them, one individual isn't likely to be made an example of. but once people start cooperating, being the person who gives congress the finger is risking being made an example of a whole lot more, and that can be personally expensive.

Professionally expensive, too. One way or the other, the Trump Administration isn't going to be around the rest of most people's careers, and elephants aren't the only things with long memories.

On the next PPP poll or whatever, I want to see them ask people if they know what "quid pro quo" means. Conservatives have been told that there wasn't this thing that they don't understand, so all Trump flacks have to do is keep saying "no quid pro quo" over and over and their base won't even understand they're lying.

It would have been any Republican. This is the result of McConnell stonewalling any Obama appointments for years. If Hillary had been elected there would have been an even bigger backlog until either a Republican won the Presidency or Democrats took over the Senate.

why would joe need to testify? He has no real part in the quid pro quo scam other than being the victim of trump's desire to hurt him politically.

Because he might be Trump's political opponent in 2020 and it would hurt Biden politically to be forced to testify in a proceeding contemplating wrongdoing. None of the details matter one little bit. "It would hurt my opponent so it must be done" is as far as his thought process has gone.
