šŸ–• šŸŠ šŸ¤” A Continuing Round-Up of Trumpian Events šŸ–• šŸŠ šŸ¤”

I would tune in for that.

Thereā€™s no way his people would allow him to without medication or a half dozen lawyers physically surrounding him.

Slick Willie, had I been old enough to watch politics I would have watched testify as well. I probably would have given him halfway good odds at coming out unscathed.

Clintonā€™s testimony in the investigation of himself is where that famous line came from, where he said something like, ā€œIt depends on what the definition of ā€˜isā€™ is.ā€

So, kinda the opposite problem from Trump

Exactly. They had at Bill until they had him totally painted into a corner, and the ā€œā€˜isā€™ isā€ quote was the best he could come up with. This was a career lawyer who could think on his feet, and it took hours to get to this fumble. And, strictly speaking, I get what he was sayingā€“that strictly speaking, the tense of ā€œto beā€ > ā€œisā€ is ā€œpresent tenseā€ and that the truthful opposing statement would have been, ā€œthere had been something going on with Lewinskiā€. But everyone knew that was bullshit, and not just because he fumbled the delivery of his grammatical truth point.

Re: Trump. Strongly agree. I think Trump under oath would incriminate himself within about 500 words. Iā€™d measure in sentences, but he doesnā€™t seem to speak in those anymore.

Clinton was being impeached for telling one lie, on one day, in an investigation of something else

as opposed to, you know, the shit Trump does all day every day

Which basically, to me, makes Dems look again as wimpy as a guy asking me for a hamburger that heā€™ll pay me back for on Tuesday.

This impeachment is a weird game of Russian roulette, where probably the Senate will acquit him and voters wonā€™t really care about any of this by next November, but maybe, maybe, maybe, enough senators secretly hate him that heā€™ll be out next month

I canā€™t remember the last time I literally crossed my fingers, but maybe just maybe it would help if I did so now?

Super unlikely. The right wing values loyalty so much, that otherwise perfectly staunch conservatives who donā€™t support Trump are treated as Traitors. Youā€™d have to have a bunch of senators who hate Trump so much that theyā€™d be fine ending their terms next year. Really, Pence is just not popular enough that anyone would wager their reelection chances on the consolation price of Prez. Pence. I just donā€™t see it. Suuuuuper unlikely.

Awkward metaphor. Itā€™s more like Russian Roulette if the revolver has 1000 cylinders, and only 1 is missing a bullet.

Not just far right, but completely unqualified as well.

I was going to make a joke, something about her name and a former job, but after a bit of Googling, and thus a reminder of Rule 34, now Iā€™m just nauseous. :anguished: :scream: :face_vomiting:

I think being unqualified if kind of part of their qualifications. The more qualified and committed to the law a judge is the less their political leanings will sway their decisions.
