Expel all students involved and have them experience actual consequences for their actions for the first time in their lives.
They'll just end up at another Ivy League school, and will still get the same jobs when they graduate.

And we're still the only team in the nation that can't run that play.
Do you know how difficult it is to get first downs when you're getting 1 and 2 yards at a time? Do you see any other team doing this?

He was calling decent plays before that?

It was much worse during the 60s. We'll be OK.
This. We don't have tens and hundreds of thousands of folks in the streets burning draft cards (automatic felony) or fleeing to another country, we don't have millions marching against being drafted and sent off to war, we don't have people marching up to soldiers who have their bayonets fixed.
We don't even have a single troop of Rascal scooters rolling along at 3mph towards the Pentagon to show support for Eddie Gallagher.

The optics of overruling Roberts though.....does it even matter anymore?
The optics of overruling a conservative/Republican Chief Justice is pretty damned severe, and reeks of desperation, paranoia, and guilt.
No Republican running next year wants that on their record.
With that said, I don't see them overruling Roberts - by letting Roberts do his thing, the blame for such things is off the shoulder of Senate Republicans (until they vote).
Senate Republicans would be more than happy if the public were pissed at Roberts.

What risk? They could get landslided in the House, but real power is in the Senate. 90% of their Senate seats are safe no matter what they do.
They don't act like their majority is safe at all. There is a reason why they are angry about the impeachment, and angry that they will have to publicly defend Trump. It's not like Gym Jordan and the other Reps who have districts designed to help them win, where his 65% in 2018 could drop almost 15 points and he would still win in 2020.
All the Dems have to flip is what, 4?
- Martha McSally in Arizona couldn't win last year, and had to be appointed.
- Cory Gardner won in Colorado by 1.9% in 2014
- Johnny Isakson is retiring in Georgia this year, and it's a special election next year
- David Perdue in Georgia won by 7.2% in 2014
- Joni Ernst - won in Iowa by 8.3%
- Pat Roberts in Kansas is not running (won by around 10%)
- Cindy Hyde-Smith won MS by 7.4% in the special election last year (6 points less than her predecessor)
- Thom Thillis won by 1.5% in North Carolina in 2014.
- Dan Sullivan won Alaska by 2.2% in 2014
- Bill Cassidy won Louisiana by 11 points in 2014
- Mike Rounds got 50.4% in South Dakota in 2014 against a divided field.
- Lamar Alexander - Tennessee, not running
Now I know that some of those races/states are marked as safe for Republicans next year (and I left out R candidates that won by 15 points or more), but as a whole, Donnie, Turtle, and Linda do not act like the Rs controlling the Senate next year is a sure thing. Turtle tries to project an air of confidence, but when you drill down, there's plenty of paranoia, plenty of anger.
I think the anger is from having to defend Trump. I think the paranoia is from the majority margin being too slim for his liking, and from too many tight races (even just a few tight races are too many for Mitch), and the possibility that we will see more Devin Nunes-types of surprises in the Senate, or at the very least, Senate Republicans running next year will be carrying Trump on their backs.
An alpha male who is confident of his position does not act like the Republican leadership of 2019.

Ideally, Devin will be hounded by reporters every where he goes, asking about his Ukrainian associates, and UT will demolish Baylor.

Speaking of committees, once the HIC is finished, the inquiry ‘stuff’ passes over to the Judiciary Committee. Guess which member on that committee just replaced Doug Collins (R-GA) as the Ranking Member?
Gym Jordan, come on down!
Swalwell is also on that committee as is Ted Lieu.
Oh, and Texas’ best RATcliffe and Gohmert.
Ted Lieu and Swalwell, with Ratcliffe, Gohmert, and Gym Jordan??

Keep going. It's the only way any of us can go forward with a clean conscience. EVERYONE knows this fuck and a fuckton of his cohorts are guilty. Why they choose to shelter him remains to be seen. The only logical reason would be they're all dirty too. If we relent and cave to a weak enemy in a strong, but weakening position, then we truly have lost the republic.
Nunes on the HIC out front shoulda told you why they are sheltering him.

America is so fawked
Dems and Republicans live in completely different realities now in the social media age. Trump the criminal has like 90% support among GOP voters which is insane. Pretty much forces most politicians to go with party over country.
Does he actually have 90% among GOP voters? Because he and the rest of the GOP do not act like next year is a sure bet for them. They are not campaigning from what looks like a position of strength - they are not telling people why they should vote for the GOP, they are trying to gin up reasons not to vote for the Dems, and they look cowardly in doing it.

going through with impeachment is somewhat a fools errand. The senate isn’t going to convict trump. The evidence isn’t there for them to act because the people with the strongest evidence are never going to talk. Or not until the trump admin is done.
Impeachment forces Republicans to publicly defend Trump. Censure does as well, but I don't know that most Americans would understand it.

Trump’s takeover of the RNC has forced the incumbents to make choices. Amash jumping ship has placed him in an odd position but the rest are tethered to Trump. I have heard that Parscales the data guy and the leadership do not release certain useful polling #s to the members which makes it hard to see how things are trending for them. They either have to pay for the numbers, fly blind, or pucker up and act like Lindsey, Gym, and Devin to avoid being brought to heel in public. That doesn’t include the dollars from sketchy sources or if there are photos or other compromising information. They are clinging to that power with every grasping finger.
Mitt was in that meeting this week but he’s gone pretty quiet after the big row this summer/fall.
Bunch of traitors.
Before a few days ago, many people just thought Nunes was an idiot/asshole, and many politicians are just fine with being labeled as such.
Now that Nunes' dirty laundry is being exposed, there's a whole lot of Republicans who are going to have some serious second thoughts, because they have their own dirty laundry that they sure as hell don't want exposed. This is not how they want their careers ending.
I know some of the pessimists here still scoff at the notion, but the stuff with Nunes coming out and being put on blast is a game changer. For as much time as Republicans held the House and Senate, and currently the White House, somehow they were never able to find this kind of stuff with the Democrats in recen tyears. While I'm sure plenty of the Dems are corrupt as fuck, for some reason they aren't nearly as incompetent and blatant in their corruption.
It's a game changer, because Republicans who are up next year are not merely going to be running on a platform of "Democrats suck and/or are socialists", but they are going to be running, knowing that if they go in front of the media or are in a debate, they could be asked about this stuff (either their own dirty laundry, or that of their party's).
We've already had plenty of Republicans bailing on re-election, I won't be surprised to see more tossing in the towel. And I'm beginning to suspect that those who have bailed on running next year had a good idea in advance of the current stuff that is happening.

Man, lots of not-so-nice-to-Nunes stuff is all over twitter. Chalupa doing some nice trolling.
#DevinNunesGotCaught

Spent a huge part of this week listening to Rush's spins while auto travelling. This is all being sold as a hunt for corruption in Ukraine by distinguished Repubs.
Maybe they should look into Saudi Arabia and how much we dump there.

Wouldn't a lawsuit open him up to discovery? Seems like a bad idea.
Probably just saber rattling on his part
Not just that, but he's drawing attention to the articles. Streisand Effect and all.
But then again, it sounds like he's in deep enough that he's treading water and getting tired. People who are on the verge of drowning are panicky as fuck.
