    For those saying "Impeach", what would he be formally charged with?

    Exactly - apparently the best answer from above is

    1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
    2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.

    So 2 non-answers to what specifically should be be charged with in a formal impeachment proceeding? So if impeachment proceedings begin now - are they resolved prior to next November? I don't believe they will be and if they are we've bought....what? 2 months without a mouthbreathing president staying in office? Just get him the fuck out in November 2020 and he'll leave or we will forcibly remove him January 2021. Focus on the goal, I don't give a shit if he rots in jail the rest of his life - let the NYAG take a whack at him after he's not president. I just want him out of office and the best way to do that is not wasting a bunch of fucking money and putting on another media circus that he can pander to his base throughout. People seem to forget the more this man has a mouthpiece the more that his supporters feel like they can be bold and outspoken. Let them feel shame, let them feel like they are hopeless and their fearless leader is irrelevant, take away their voice by giving it to someone who actually wants to work shit out.

    The House of Representatives ... shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

    Article I, Section 2, Clause 5

    The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

    Article I, Section 3, Clauses 6 and 7

    [The President} … shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

    Article II, Section 2

    The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

    Article II, Section 4

  2. I'm not saying that Trump should still be President of the US of A, but I'm not real sure what the hell you want to impeach AND remove him from office for?

    I really think that Republicans and Democrats alike should pull their heads out of their asses and start making moves to remove him during the election cycle instead of allowing the theater to continue around him. Once the Mueller investigation was done and there wasn't a way to convict or charge a sitting president everyone should have "moved on", not because we should leave him alone, but literally to move on - take the confidence away from him and start allocating it elsewhere (both Republicans and Democrats).

    IMHO the whole issue here is that neither party can get out of their own way and keeps tripping all over their dicks instead of banding together and actually focusing on creating an environment conducive to change in the executive branch.

    I’ve never been that time of year.  Pretty sure it’s a different island from mid December to mid January.  That’s when the celebs take over and the rents quadruple and the marina is packed with super yachts

    I go during Thanksgiving.  And it isn’t crowded. 

    This was my exact experience. I was treated like "peasant trash" everywhere I went and there were crazy yachts parked all over. Perhaps I'll give it another shot after hearing it's a different place - I was on my honeymoon and we only stayed on the island 1 day.

  4. I'm happy for all of you that have wonderful experiences there, but my experience of St. Barths was complete garbage. It was pretty, but the beaches were far more packed than the posts indicated here (late December). I will say the airport and watching planes land was one of the coolest things I've done in the Caribbean. 

  5. What a worthless announcement. He needs better PR - admitting that you are a shitty teammate and that you are a pussy to the internet then saying you are gonna work on it isn't a good message.

  6. I'll take a look, but as others have said tapa has really taken a shit lately. The mobile experience in the browser is going to have feature equivalence after we add the ability for members to upload images 

  7. I have a smoke and a signals. Both are amazing. 

     

    For cooks that I'm around and don't care to see the graphs I use the smoke still as it's battery life is crazy good. 

     

    Signals will last for about a whole brisket cook polling every 5s to wifi. I love the 4 probe and adjustable alarms and silencing from your phone. Hard to beat the package, but their app is complete garbage - I wish they had an API key to use for their online service so I could build a less shitty app.

    is anyone else suddenly getting a bunch of emails from surly alerting them to posts that have been made in random threads? or did i black out and subscribe to a bunch of threads without remembering?

    were they at least relevant timing wise? 

  9. Again, you are the only one bitching about it and there is an active thread on Invision forums about creating a plug-in to restore the functionality. Unfortunately the people won't just let us use their old code snippet so it has to be reimplemented from scratch as a plug-in.
