Makes sense to me.

She assumes they are pervs because of experience. Playing percentages. Obviously all of them aren't pervs, but it is perfectly normal for someone to assume they are until they have reason not to.

Isn't protesting someone free speech? Why is the university suppressing their right to protest? Yes, I'm partially joking, but is there any evidence the protesters started the violence? The clips I have seen so far are mostly just normal protest stuff. Where is the violence against the...

Absolutely. This has been a profile in cowardice from the GOP.

Today's criming: Perjury! The House of Representatives is now investigating whether President Donald Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller in written answers he provided in the Russia investigation, the House's general counsel said in federal court Monday. And, of course, perjury is...

The "what are the logistics of decrim" should probably be another thread, maybe one of the ones on politicians who are in favor of it. While interesting, it is a bit of a derail from the point of the thread.

We're obviously not there yet. But a complete rejection of the legitimacy of the system is the kind of thing that points the way. I remain hopeful we won't get there.

Thanks for the heads up.

Why? Julia already pointed out that sex workers tell their stories all the time. What purpose would a MERB thread serve?

If he wins a second term, yes, he will. It isn't like he is going to stop abusing power or committing crimes. Will he abuse power enough that the GOP senators think he needs to be removed? Hard to say. The longer he survives the bolder he will be. By that point, however, even if the GOP turns on...

None of the defenses hold up in a factual way, no. (I figured that would be obvious.) They just seem to think this is a pitch they can make. One of their problems is that Trump himself keeps gutting other approaches they try. I think the jury is somewhat out on 2 (in terms of when they knew...

They seem to be settling on a 4-point defense: * The transcript of the June 25 call did not show evidence of a quid pro quo, particularly with respect to military assistance. * At the time of that call, the Ukrainians were unaware of the suspension of military aid, so they could not have felt...

"Ambassador Sondland did not tell us, and certainly did not tell me, about a connection between the assistance and the investigations,” Prystaiko said, according to Reuters. “You should ask him.” Good point. Luckily, Sondland is testifying next week I think? So they can ask him.

Deval Patrick?!?! Someone has to be throwing some cash behind him if he thinks he can jump in now.

Roger Stone guilty of witness tampering and Donald Trump does witness tampering in real time during the impeachment trial. These boys do love their crime.

She is one, though. Just not running for President yet. Would not be surprised to see her in the mix next time. On forfeiture, Warren and Sanders are your leading candidates, I think.

I wouldn't put it past the GOP, that's true. I still hold out hope they won't try impeaching for a parking ticket, though. I'm an optimist.

Pressley seems pretty solid on this stuff. I'm surprised you didn't mention she put restricting civil asset forfeiture in there as well.

Noah Webster was a Fouding Father now? Adorable. Yes, they got rid of stuff, and kept a lot of other stuff. There was no blanket rejection of all British concepts of government, so the idea that they rejected the British view of impeachment because it was British needs some other supporting...

I'm sure a whole mix of things. The parties have platforms, so could be any number of the elements on it. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/federal/2019/party-platforms/
