It seems to me that capitol punishment is one bitter pill that we don't have to swallow. We haven't been swallowing it much lately (except Texas and Florida, and I'm not sure if they are wolfing it down like they once did), and there have been no ill effects, except that we have to pay for giving the murderers a lifetime stay in the steel hotel, but that's not too bad a price to pay to ease our consciences about the innocent guys we have put to death previously. Certainly a woman who is raped should have access to an abortion, but shouldn't her sister who wasn't raped have access also?
For a long time I preferred Trump to Pence because I thought Trump would be more harmful to the Republican party, but lately I have come to prefer the white ghost to the madman.
I'm not sure what Old Dog thinks the Russkies are happy about, the impeachment or the success of Trump in general. I am guessing the latter. Nowhere in the labs of Boris and Natasha with all the greatest commie minds could they have ever come up with a more potent weapon to pierce the heart of the USA than Trump. Of course this reminds me of Princess Diana. Much of England felt sympathy for her because she was running away from those awful royals, but it wasn't like she was running away with some bold English yeoman, she was running away with a dissolute Egyptian playboy. Likewise the Trumpists who are usurping the rule of law are not following some Thomas Paine kind of guy, they are following a cheating, philandering, lying sack of shit.
There is always somebody talking about impeaching the prez from the day he is elected, but the dems haven't seriously brought this up until the Mueller report, and our leader, Nancy, has not been for it until a few weeks ago. To say otherwise is to borrow the talking points of the cheating, philandering, lying sack of shit. It always seems odd to me that the reps keep claiming that the dems are trying to impeach Trump (only) because we hate him. Of course we hate him, we hated W too, but we never impeached him.
No they haven't impeached Trump yet. It is also not Christmas yet. Geez.
I know I have chastised Beagles in the past for not knowing stuff because he doesn't read much news, but now it looks like he doesn't even read the annals of The Institute. I've said three or four times that Trump will never be indicted and that the focus is on the election of 2020. That is the point. It will change no minds among the hard core Trumpists but there is a soft core among them and if we can convince them and add them to the majority of voters who do not like Trump we can unseat him in 2020, though it's unlikely that we can take the senate. It looked like a good strategy going in, but lately not so much, but if Trump makes too much of a circus out of the senate hearing we may yet succeed. We dems have long been looking for the straw that will break the elephant's back, but we haven't seen it yet, so I don't know.
I reckon that one of the things that upholds Beagles quality of life is his social security check. What keeps it solvent is young people joining the work place and paying their FICA taxes. Without immigrants we will not have enough young people to do that.
