    I was fine with replacing Keuchel with Miley. 

    But every single one of us thought that they should sign Morton. We weren't willing to pay as much as Tampa fucking Bay. 

    A JV/Cole/Morton/Miley/Peacock rotation would have been solid. 

    They got spooked when he broke down at the end of last season.

    That's why you need 2. Relying on failed starting pitchers like McHugh and Peacock was not a sound decision.

    Nope.

    It's a real shame Josh James hasn't learn how to pitch. He could be a star.

    A new starting pitcher wouldn’t be replacing Peacock 

    Our past offseason is starting to look really, really bad.*

    * Overreaction, but dammit we need pitching.

    That's weird. Every time someone asks Nancy, she says there's no impeachment happening. Can't have impeachment hearings without impeachment proceedings. Which again, she has been painstaking to tell us aren't happening

    And every time another member comes forward calling for impeachment, they do so with her blessing. She has never taken impeachment off the table. She is slowly building consensus in her caucus because right now, she does not have the votes.

    It's a joke about her not pursuing impeachment. I'm saying she sucks and even if she did have tools to help Trump's rape victims she wouldn't use them.

    They are pursuing impeachment. That's what these hearings and subpoenas are all about. That's what Mueller coming to the Hill is about. These are impeachment hearings.

    "The electorate" doesn't know shit. A majority of Americans don't know that Trump has been accused of sexual assault by 22 women.  ~90% of Americans don't know about this latest allegation at all.  The Dems could try acting like it's a big fucking deal and maybe some people would realize it is. The GOP made that work for using the wrong fucking email address for work shit. Pelosi should be able to make it work for literal rape.

    Yes, they do. It's been all over the news.

    Yes it does. It shifts the legal description of their activities from "oversight" to "judicial proceeding", which will aid significantly in securing documents and testimony from people who have been resisting congressional subpoenas. Nancy doesn't want to do that because it will weaken her individual power in the house of reps. She likes to be on top, even if it's a shit mountain. She was the one driving the boat when they had a historically bad electoral loss in 2014 AND 2016. She's been in charge for all of the darkest hours of the DNC. It's not an incredible observation to see that she's been a common denominator in all of the democratic party's failings.

    That's an argument. It is not law.

    Bullshit. She's trying to let Trump hang himself for the general election. Meanwhile, Trumpublicans are suppressing likely Dem votes and Putin is going to HAM. 

    Pelosi is a coward who is abrogating her Constitutional duty and bungling every step along the way.

    We'll see.

    If Donald Trump loses in 2020 and Democrats keep the House, Nancy Pelosi did the right thing. We still don't know what she is going to do. We are guessing.

    It's more about money than race in my opinion.  The racial aspect of it makes it easy to mask what underneath: greed, control, power.

    Slavery wasn't all about race either, it was mostly about the money and the power it buys. 

    It's about power. Which is currently held by white people. It's about protecting that power by protecting white people.

    That's the story of America.

    She dips her toe in the arena every few days and goes on the attack. Still waiting for her and Nadler to go all in... :patient-bear::

    I expect that will happen when they get back from the August break.

    Bill Clinton's impeachment inquiry started in October and he was impeached in December. It can move very quickly.

    She could I dunno, not fucking shrug at another corroborated and credible rape accusation? She could open a fucking impeachment inquiry in a timely manner to get more legal weight behind their subpoenas to actually investigate trump, rather than trying to delay/time it for maximum political damage while the country is being dragged deeper every single fucking day.

    We have fucking concentration camps on the border. We have historic and unprecedented levels of obstruction of legitimate (and in some cases, constitutionally mandated) congressional investigations. We have so many things wrong that she could at least be shining a light on or digging up. 

    We saw how much she can do to bend people to her will when it was about consolidating power to win the speakership again. And now, she's fucking powerless to do more than just shrug at all of this? Fuck that.

    Calling the inquiry impeachment isn't going to put any more legal weight behind the subpoenas. 

    Also, Donald Trump is never going to be removed from office, so the timing of his impeachment for the best political outcome is paramount. The last thing you want to do is impeach the president and have him get re-elected. 

    They are going to impeach Donald Trump. They have to get the timing right because they can't remove him. That's politics and it sucks.

    Oooh, scaaaaaaary stuff.  A mod (who slants to the left in his posting history) calling out a poster as partisan when the whole CR is nothing but a partisan festival is beyond dull witted.  

    So which Democratic governors of the Commonwealth got Onboard's vote?

    I'm guessing Robb. Maybe Warner.
