I'm sure Republicans are going to be super pleased when, god willing, whenever we get a Democrat president back in office, they have no reason not to sleaze it up and manipulate foreign governments to help rig elections, since that's exactly what they're saying is okay here with Trump. Oh, wait. They'd say Dems rigged the election no matter what anyway. So who cares at this point.  I just can't believe these people can look at facts presented so clearly and just say that nothing is wrong-- under oath, no less. They're all a bunch of mongrels so desperately eager to slurp the fairway grass off Trump's shoes like the good little puppies they are, no matter how complicit it makes them in his crimes.

Republicans like Graham made it very clear that they weren't interested in any facts and weren't interested in a fair trial, and then went under oath saying they would give a fair trial. ... Is it considered lying under oath if the oath itself was a lie?

What's worse is that they don't even need to appeal to anyone anyway. Republicans already made their decision long before the trial so they're trying to get a fast acquittal so Donny gets to jerk off all over the microphone like the big big boy he is at the state of the union address and can cry over how unfair the Democrats have been and how America decided he was right and how he plans to maintain his obvious corruption for 4 more years-- maybe even more corrupt and more obvious because clearly, America decided that it approves.

it is also worth noting that republican voters don't particularly need anything witty or relevant or like, actually true to rally behind anyway-- we're talking about a group of people who are still butthurt about alt-righters being called deplorables and are still chanting "LOCK HER UP" in 2020 even though Hillary Clinton has not been relevant in any real perceivable significant way since 2016. all they need is a perceived slight to rally behind, no matter how small or made up, and will make an entire political stance upon it

They definitely aren't bringing in a younger audience, and since they're so reviled in pretty much every other demographic we may be lookin at Fox at its apex until the Trump Administration finally goes under. I was thinking about that recently, actually. What is Fox gonna do when the Boomers die off? Are they going to die out with a whimper or radicalize and try to appeal more to the last demographic they possibly could appeal to: alt-right chuds who live on Breitbart, InfoWars, and r/TheDonald? Basically I can only see them dying off or removing all pretense and going full fash.

If for example Bolton or Mulvaney comes right out and says Pence was in the room or he was directly told things he is extremely hosed. Speaking of lame ducks and the thought of Pence... If Pence gets removed somehow too, that means Pelosi becomes president, right? I know it's an impossibility but my god that would be the most hilarious pike up Trump's rear end.

Harton posted:What kinda “normal” is there to go back to? "Normal" as we knew it will never be again, I think. I don't feel like the constant tension between people and parties is doing to fade anytime soon either. It's always stressful when talking to random people and not knowing where they stand-- and there's no real way to talk politics with anyone with any civil tone because everyone is so passionate and heavily opposed to the other side. I feel like the only way there's ever going to be bipartisanship in government and among civilians is if compromises are made, but conceding anything is impossible for anyone when a small concession is directly opposed to their values (or lack thereof). And that surely won't come from any of the impeachment conflict either. If GOP gets their way they're only going to become more obnoxious, more smug, more hateful, and more convinced that treason is cool and good. If they don't, they'll only become more hateful and aggressive. Society kind of just makes me sick tbh

Harton posted:Yeah I’ve been slowly opting out of it myself. If nothing is real the why aren’t we all doing things we enjoy rather than working our lives away for corporations. I quit my job and just do odd jobs now like refinishing hardwood floors and poo poo. Way more satisfying but not nearly enough money. Truthfully speaking I've greatly distanced myself from the news because I'm just so sick of seeing what the US is letting the GOP get away with and I'm sick of seeing Trump's ugly smug face every goddamn day. I'm only keeping up with it now out of the faintest glimmer of hope that things will change. Once the obvious result happens I'm probably hermit myself away again and someone can wake me when the election comes up and I can spark that glimmer again for student loan forgiveness. I just kind of try to keep myself distracted with things I enjoy or at least keep my mind off everything else. I work for a nonprofit and I hate my underpaid af job, but it keeps me in my apartment. Nothing is real, indeed, and logic makes no sense. Better to take the soma and try to find what happiness I can until it starts making sense again. I know that's not the best perspective to have and that probably angers more radical spirits here but I'm just loving exhausted, man. I don't have the energy for this poo poo without being utterly self destructive. I just wanna feel happy again in what little ways I can, you know? Depression talk aside, today was the last day of the GOP's appeal to falsehood, right? I wonder how the questions will go. If nothing else I hope someone embarrasses the tortoise on live TV.

My mom just went on a huge hateful rant about how dangerous democrats are to government and how they're just filled with hate and it's the only reason they're doing what they're doing. My mom has a bachelor's in criminal justice and graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0, for what it's worth. Just to really hammer in how painful it is that she cannot see the forest for the trees here. How is she so loving stupid? I don't think I could be any more disappointed with her right now. Oh wait, I can be, because an acquittal without witnesses makes this a complete and utter insult and embarrassment to this entire nation and she's going to be so loving smug about it. It's such an obvious cover-up. How can they just straight up concede that Trump did it and it was indeed an abuse of power and just... be okay with that. How are people not loving terrified of that? God I cannot loving stand republicans.
