Or making broad, generalized judgments about wide swaths of the population to construct a meaningless strawman argument is C-grade work in any logic or philosophy course, and Corey Richardson may need to see his advisor.
Sounds like just what someone who read the book would say.
It’s objectively true that wide swaths of the American population are idiots, because Trump is the president.
“Wide swaths” is not “all swaths” as implied in the original tweet.

Mueller is too conservative for the country’s good, but it’s hard to read his comments as anything other than a call for impeachment proceedings.
Unless my syllabic pronounciator is broked, the first line doesn’t scan and should be
“The Russia inquirer had sought”
It scans for me, but ‘inquirer’ comes out of my mouth as four syllables, not three. Go figure.
Something like in-kwi-yer-er.
Oh, that’s the one republican who asked actual questions to Cohen.
With zero evidence. He basically pulls it out of his arse.
Aren’t you doing the same?No, because here’s (a portion of) the evidence McConnell will obstruct and conduct in secret, given any opportunity:
No one is arguing that McConnell won’t obstruct. The article I linked argues that Dems in the House should impeach despite the fact that McConnell and other Reps in the Senate will refuse to convict.
It’s not just refuse to convict - they will hold either zero meetings and delay, or hold closed meetings which do nothing.
Impeachment needs to be so friggin’ large, and so bulletproof that he can’t do that and that there are no Oliver North moments for the Propaganda networks to distort.
They don’t control the House, so they can’t do anything to prevent the House from having public impeachment hearings 24/7. Kruse is arguing that the House should do this even though the Senate will punt on it. You can’t dismiss that argument by pointing out that the Senate will punt on it.
That will not happen in the foreseeable future, because Republicans will not lose control of the Senate thanks to flyover country being populated by shitty people, and because Republicans are morally bankrupt. At a certain point, you need to start operating around the fact that the Senate is a lost cause.
So the thing is the House can impeach and can hold hearings, but if that process is over in a few months than it’s still more than a year to the election, and the impeachment stuff may become a non-issue. Trump will shout innocent over and over.
The House controls their own timetable. If dragging it out until the election is important, they can certainly do that. In fact, that will happen anyway, because there will be a court battle over every subpoena they issue.
Impeachment is off the table as a strategy is both morally bankrupt and IMO politically tone-deaf.
Even more so because conviction requires 2/3rds. You aren’t getting 67 votes to impeach a Republican President in my lifetime.
