    Yes, Steele is smart.  He is in mid 50s and needs to protect his earning power in his field for at least another decade.  Steele was hired to dig Russia dirt.  He did that by trolling media reports for intel, lacing it with disinformation from Russian intelligence sources chasing paychecks, and in the process creating a fantasy conspiracy narrative with no basis in reality. His fault as far as I can tell was, at best, deluding himself wrt to the veracity of his reporting as a result of his political bias. He was not "close to being wrong" with his very specific claims of an advanced conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, was very fucking wrong. If he was right, we wouldn't be having this conversation and Trump would be swinging from a gallow. 

    I don't think you read the report very closely.

    The TV pundits fuck up explaining impeachment all the time too.  Every time I hear one of them say, “The Senate will never vote to impeach” I want to hurl my TV at the sun.  

    The Senate does not get to vote on impeachment.  The Senate votes to remove/convict or not.  By the time the Senate gets a say, Trump is already an impeached President.  

    So what happens if the House impeaches Donald Trump and he wins in 2020?

    It’s been clear for a while Pelosi wants nothing done except to pass meaningless bills to claim on the campaign trail.

    These are bills that no one has heard of or will benefit from because McConnell immediately sends them to the graveyard. 

     

    All of these folks will be called in once impeachment hearings begin in earnest.

    What if student loans were underwritten like real estate loans were underwritten?

    Assuming credit scores are equal, a 5000 square foot retail space purchase at 6th & Congress will be underwritten more beneficially to the borrower because the asset has a better chance to generate income and ability to repay is more secure...as compared to a 5000 square foot retail space in Cleveland.  

    Apply this rationale to the entire higher ed landscape.  A theater degree from Washburn University should not get the same term sheet as an MBA from Kellogg

    but the government doesn’t see it this way.    

    That's because the government and the bank have different priorities.

    To be fair, I prefer shitting in the woods as long as its done responsibly. Having seen a homeless man take a dump in a downtown parking lot, I will say the woods are definitely preferable.

     

    That reminds me, while we're providing the homeless with housing, we also need public toilets.

    That’s right the city council’s and mayors of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and LA are made up entirely of conservatives.  Also, the governors of each of those states are conservatives too.

    Wait... I am pretty sure it is actually the exact opposite.  You fucking moron.

    What are the conservatives doing about homelessness where they are in charge?

    Because the Republican Party has never, ever been about morality or cultural issues.

    The Republican Party is protecting the interests of capital. That's it. Everything else is bullshit designed to win elections. If that includes racism, sexism, anti-Americanism, Trumpism, so be it. Protect capital above everything else.

    They could clean up and get a job there are 6mm open at the moment. And before you say some “you don’t have compassion” bullshit, I have an older sister who has literally never worked a day in her life. She chose to quit school, have kids, and live off the state of California’s generosity.  Once her kids were too old to receive welfare she started getting SSI for being a drug attic.  If you don’t see the irony in that you’re part of the problem... 

    And when they don't clean up and get a job?

    This is the crux of the problem for Democrats, and Nancy Pelosi knows it. She knows she holds a winning hand if she lets the bet ride, but she doesn't know what will happen if she bets the house (so to speak). 

    If they don't impeach him, they are saying what he did is OK.

    That position is going to become untenable for Democrats.

    Bull shit. If am white I will definitely be arrested before some random black dude doing the same. They assume I have the money to pay my way out rather than some black dude who has been arrested multiple times for the same crime and who just wants a baloney sandwich and to get out of the cold / heat. 

    If you think the Police don't work on money you are wrong. That's why San Francisco and LA are about to have a real breakout of the Bubonic Plague this summer, The plague? Are fucking kidding me? 

    Everything in this post is wrong.
