reminder that Pence's wife was furious at him for the entirety of the campaign and election for associating with trump. She's like 100x smarter than her husband

Hey y'all it's gonna be a long 12 hours or so until the hearings so in the meantime I thought you'd all appreciate this time machine back to May 9 when this story broke.

I did, but I’ll count it as important once he suffers consequences. Otherwise it’s more “hey crimes happened but whatever man” bullshit typical of modern politics. Why would I leap paying attention if no one ever gets their comeuppance?

In that case no, no one has been directly sent to prison yet. Might want to check out of the thread again for a year or so.

I wonder if, had I been in my 30s then instead of now, I would have found those proceedings as infuriating? I mean, seriously, the Democrats talk and I get angry because Trump is wrecking the country I love, and then the Republicans talk and I get angry because they're helping, and then there's parliamentary interruptions and I get angry, and... :sigh:

Protip: turn it off. It's 100% meaningless grandstanding and will be for a while. If you want to catch the actual vote it'll be on C-SPAN's YouTube channel.

Nah, close it up. The ones in power are cementing their power. I fully expect a bigger popular vote margin but we still get hosed by the EC, by design. It's over.

The EC is effectively the same as it was in 2008 and 2012. It may be tilted some towards the GOP but it has for some time and guess what a Democrat can still win. Chill.

Uhhh who is Geoff Koss because google shows some business dude, and I’m not sure how he’d have this info before anyone else.

I just got an alert from WaPo.

Guess the question for McConnell now is whether to vote to acquit today or let it drag on until the caucus to gently caress with Warren and Sanders.

i dont think so. like i said. he is doing this because 1. he hates trump for various reasons and probably does believe he is guilty. 2 he believes this will help him rebuild the GOP after trump falls.

Best of luck to him then.

btw I just learned a fun fact: murkowski's first stint in the senate was a result of her dad being elected to governor of alaska (where he was previously a senator) and then appointing her in his place. makes sense if they're some big alaska legacy why it's so hard for them to shake her stupid rear end out.

She then lost the 2010 primary in the early Tea Party surge and won as a write-in. Alaska is weird I guess.

I would *think* this one could be pretty harmless since no company is going to want to invest any significant resources in those areas just to have those permits revoked by the incoming administration. But I don't know the details on these things, maybe there's some guarantee of a certain duration of a permit that the government would have to honor even if it stopped granting new ones.

Beyond the drilling and mining are grazing permits for local farmers who relish in the thought of armed government standoffs.
