    I think the reason Pelosi didn’t want impeachment is because of the senate trial that will take dems out of the race.

    Actually, it helps the Dem candidates who are in the Senate, because it gives them a free, nation-wide platform from which to go after Trump. That is the kind of airtime and publicity that none of them can buy on their own.

    He will be impeached with zero Republicans voting for impeachment and McConnell will refuse to hold a trial because we are too close to a election and we should let the American People decide his fate from this Witch Hunt.  He will then lose the popular vote but sadly this country is dumb enough to elect him again.  

    Mitch doesn't have a massive enough majority to roll that dice - that would probably put more than a few R Senate seats into play if people take that to heart.

    Trump still has to win a combination of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and now Arizona.  Possibly Florida, and hell, lots of folks are riled up in NC and Georgia.

    He will then milk his post-presidency period for as much money as he can make of it.  He will sell tickets for rubes to come to rallies, sell merch, sell meet and greets, continue to tweet and rant against other Americans to get attention, do reality TV and generally try to stay in the public eye by attacking others and promoting whatever theory will make him a buck.

    And all of those rallies will be held at or near Mar-a-Lago, and he will make a shit-ton of money off of the rubes who travel there to hear his great words.

    Bad but not crime. Didn't go through with it. He didn't have corrupt intent. Republicans will run with those three lines...ramp up the propaganda machine and he's acquitted. Democracy does indeed die in darkness. And these are dark times. 

    Democracy is not dying - the House winning in 2018 and the Dem pickups this year shoulda told ya that.

    If it was dying, this thread would not exist.

  5. IV, V, VI.

    After ROTJ, it gets dicey - Rogue One is a judgement call on whether your kid can handle it.

    After that, watch Episode I, and then maybe hold off a few years, because II and III are dark as shit.

    Yet, they'll both get reelected by huge margins.

    dude.

    i wish i had your naive optimism.  nunes and jordan are going to be fine.

    Oh Nunes and Gym will get re-elected, but they've tossed their reputations in the shitter for Trump (arguably to win favors with Trumpkins in their districts), but they will live knowing that their families will never stop seeing that stuff about them.

    They are just way too thin-skinned not to let that shit eat at them.

    We are a country chock full of stupid.  Trump will get impeached, acquitted by the senate and re-elected.  Welcome to our future. 

    Where is he going to make up Arizona and Wisconsin?  Michigan?  Probably Pennsylvania as well?

    I love that #GymJordanIsAnIdiot is trending on Twitter right now. 

    Right now, arguably two men are regretting being elected - Trump and Devin Nunes.  Trump for obvious reasons.  Prior to yesterday, Nunes couldn't go on the internet without being mocked - he's going to live the rest of his life knowing that his kids, grandkids, etc. get on the internet and look him up, they are going to find countless people mocking his intelligence.  And now, this Lev Parnas stuff has completely tainted him.

    But Gym Jordan, when all is said and done, may join that little club.  The stench of the athlete/molestation stuff is probably going to affect his run next year.

    Still others have toyed with a more drawn-out trial that has the potential to scramble the schedules of a half-dozen Democratic senators who are running for president but would be jurors in an impeachment trial.

    That would be fucking stupid - you can bet that those Democratic Senators would love the free air-time and to be heard by everybody.

    And it would be fucking stupid to drag Hunter Biden into the Senate, because that plays right into the narrative that Trump was trying to hurt Joe Biden.  But Trump and Co. are too fucking stupid to see that, because they see everything through their own lens, and not that of a normal person.
