Kill Bristol posted:Yes. The dictator’s dilemma (gotta hold on to power or I’m hosed) is a well known thing in comparative politics. It’s distasteful but the best thing to do is probably to offer him some kind of tacit agreement that if he steps down he’ll be free from serious jail time. Absolutely not. We let W get off scot-free. I want my loving scalp. If there's to be any hope for this planet for this century, we must have severe consequences for everyone who got us to where we are.

It is explicitly legal for members of Congress to insider trade, and if you think a person with an investment banker spouse is too noble to take advantage of that, then you're exactly the type of gullible peon that reflexively defends people like Pelosi.

Hiro Protagonist posted:What I'm amazed by is the fact that every Republican counter thus far has been something that will be resolved in a week or less. "We don't know who this whistleblower is?" They're going to testify this week. "It's hearsay." We'll likely get the transcript this week. Like, I'm not surprised that the Republicans can't long-term plan for poo poo, but every talking point is going to be resolved the moment the actual investigation gets rolling. What will they have after that? They're trying to stall and hoping for something else to take over the news cycle just like has happened every single time with Trump for the past four (!) years and change.

No poo poo lol, that article is such a naked example of white supremacy. All the credit goes to the CIA and military officers who dragged their heels on impeachment and not to AOC or Maxine Waters or any of the people who were calling for impeachment immediately. Crowning the cowards who waited as long as possible to sign onto impeachment as "leaders" is Democrat as gently caress.

You seem to be operating from the position that CNN is working a giant brain genius operation to cynically farm clicks, instead of this just being exactly what it looks like on its surface: the mainstream media manufacturing pushback against and minimization of nonwhite politicians. And if there's anything the Trump era has taught me, it's that everything is exactly what it looks like.

I think there's a large (and easily discerned) difference between You Won't BELIEVE What This Congressional Politician Has To Say About Impeachment type articles purposed for maximum ad impressions, and that article we've been discussing which is a fawning puff piece and giant dog whistle for how these white women are more reasonable, more effective, and easier to work with than these darn loudmouths. Conflating the two is shallow cynicism employed to avoid serious engagement with the state of our national discourse.

Zotix posted:Anyone else feel like Moscow Mitch sees the writing on the table at this point and almost wants to get the impeachment over so that if need be they can get an actual strong Republican candidate on the ticket instead of those that are primarying Trump right now. With Mitch allowing schumers resolution to go through last week with no objection, and then today saying he'd allow an impeachment trial to commence without objection. It almost is as if he knows this info is pretty damning and he's all for getting Trump out, letting whomever takeover for 12 months(Pence or Pelosi) and then getting a real RNC backed candidate up front and center to rival the Dems starting at the beginning of the year. Probably not.

skylined! posted:Coming out and saying that he's definitely guilty and a big criminal before the actual investigation is concluded delegitimizes the process, and the entire dem caucus has been pretty weary of delegitimizing any government process because their counterparts are doing exactly that. For someone complaining about people not being objective, you aren't being objective. Your default position for the past year has been "Nancy Pelosi good, wise genius", and that's the starting point at which you evaluate everything involving her. It's impossible to take you seriously.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Nancy Pelosi. Her politicking is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of political theory most of her maneuvers will go right above a typical peon's head. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

The true Pelosi fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these maneuvers, to realise that they're not just funny - they say something deep about American governance. As a consequence people who dislike Nancy Pelosi truly ARE idiots. And yes, by the way, I DO have a Nancy Pelosi tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only - and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
