This is a very short and a very good primer on the subject. If you think you don't have the time or the need to listen to this, it doesn't make much sense to me why you are even here. www.podbean.com/ea/dir-eapx7...

We now understand that the argument against impeaching Trump offered by Republicans -- that he should be held accountable by the courts, instead -- was apparently untrue. AND that Republicans would later to confess to ALWAYS believing it was true. Even while they were actively arguing the opposite!

Prepare yourself for this argument: Trump is impeached, but pardons himself. The Constitution explicitly prohibits pardons in cases of impeachment, though. So Trump argues that you can only be impeached for high crimes & misdemeanors, and he's pardoning the crime, so there can't be an impeachment.

one thing you pretty consistently see is journalists defending coverage decisions by saying "that's old news, everyone knows it, no need to report it." another is journalists defending coverage decisions by saying "everyone is talking about this, we must cover it" convenient!

“Oh, come on! Isn’t that just a wee bit over the top?” Hey, didn’t that party not that long ago make A DIFFERENT CHILD MOLESTER their Speaker of the House?

A CHILD MOLESTER has won the Republican nomination for president for the third time in a row, and the media says he won the debate so the other guy— the incumbent POTUS — should drop out.

It’s worth reminding ourselves once in a while, even if no one is listening, that DONALD TRUMP IS A HUGE SICKO PERVERT.

“They’re not even going to have a country anymore.” But seriously, shouldn’t there be a story about how the other parties are changing their minds about this, because they’re worried their presidents will be charged with crimes later?

No real reason to try to approach these things "reasonably" at this point. If it's the Supreme Court's intention to reverse you eventually, anyway, just go ahead and proceed as you see fit. Don't try to factor their unmoored "reasoning" into your proceedings.

I don't know the medical terms, but this is a tendency, not isolated bad decisions. A tendency that seems to be increasing and intensifying. Biden is not getting better, so any decisions probably should be based on how quickly we bet that he'll get worse.

It used to be cars, but it eventually became difficult to build and store unlimited horsepower. By the 80s, people started building and showing off unlimited firepower.

This even happens when the Gop has already done or threatened to do the thing, and rather than do it back, the centrists worry that doing it back will make the Gop do it again.

Hey guys, I found the military-aged immigrant invaders who are pouring across the open border, destroying the culture, changing the national character, terrorizing the locals, driving them from their homes and burning their cities to the ground. And the Republicans love it.

conservatives came up with “Trump Derangement Syndrome” to describe liberals catastrophizing about Trump, but the real effect has been the opposite: complete nonchalance from the media at the various outrageous things he says and does

They have gas masks & goggles because you’ve tear-gassed protesters before. They have earplugs because you’ve used sound as a weapon before. They have tools to create barriers because you have taught them how to make them in their schools. You have shown them that you have no care for their welfare

I like how my local paper ran a series of front page, above-the-fold stories on inflation with it's own special little "inflation hits home" graphic for a year, then decided "you know what, politics is too divisive" as soon as it went down, so now all the good economic news is on A9

Always good advice when Trump is anywhere involved: TRIPLE-CHECK ALL THE PAPERWORK.

Nothing would be more hilarious, by the way, than invalidating his bond on a technicality, given that he's also facing charges of fomenting insurrection over fake "voter fraud" claims. #TrumpAndPaperworkMan
