  1. Impeachment will die a very quick death in the Senate and won't do much good in the election. Just look at history.

    Not a Trumper, just remember how negatively impeachment hurt the GOP after they tried it with Clinton. It took years for them to recover from the damage and distrust from voters.

    Republicans already have the tax cut for rich donors, & the conservative picks for the Supreme Court. They don't need der Fuhrer anymore. As he becomes increasingly ridiculous, they may choose to cut their loses, & remove him for a Pence Presidency.

    They should vote to remove him from office. His continued occupancy is indefensible, but they are only for the rule of law in their own imaginations. In reality they are segregationists who want to perpetuate the fantasy of a christian country of white men, by white men & for white men (as the Founders intended.)

    The difference between the Clinton Impeachment & the Trump Impeachment is that Clinton only lied about sex. Trump lies about everything, everyday, all day long.

    They are being judged now, & if they vote to acquit they will be judged again, & they will pay a price for it in the long run. We are witnessing the end of the Republican Party.

    The only way they can save their future is to trade Trump for Pence.

  4. Its really a shame that the new owner of Chappell's in NKC didn't pay some attention to the menu hen the place was being made over.

    Optimistically, we tried the "new" version twice (anyone can have an off day), only to find both times that the food was as crappy as ever.

    With all the new places to eat and party in NKC, this relic had better rethink its direction, "Sports Bars" are about as relevant as "Fern Bars" or "Discos" to today's Society.

    Maybe Jim should cutback on his visits, or try going to one of the other venues in NKC in order to understand why one can always find empty parking places in front of his joint on Friday and Saturday nights.

  15. 9:30 - Clinton lied about a blow job. Slightly different situation.

    But, you're right. Republicans dgaf what the President does so he will be acquitted. It's a great precedent to set going forward for our future Presidents.

    1. You mean Clinton committed perjury and suborned perjury, which (you may not know this) is not ok for lawyers, let alone Presidents. Fixed that for you.

      And as Jonathan Turley pointed out, this is the first "impeachment" in which there's a dispute about whether a crime was committed, and it's a huge dispute.

  16. What's worse... venerable Democratic President FDR imprisoning American Japanese during WWII or Trump's phone call? Any reasonable person can make the distinction. Unless of course, you're a Democrat.
