perfection!

I’m suggesting that the idea that things only matter when Republicans do them is bullshit.

You understand that in order to impeach and remove we need Republican cooperation, right? I mean, I’d love it if we didn’t, but we do. So yes, their motivations matter, even if their motivations are ceaselessly horrible.

But that cooperation isn’t forthcoming under any circumstances, so maybe we should stop cutting ourselves off at the knees to appease them.

There’s a difference between “matter” and “have a chance to actually succeed”

In any divided congress, a credible impeachment threat has to come from the presidents own party.

Certainly my nuts think this, as they have applied for a permit to be human beings.

Oh, suggestions of violence against your nuts will continue until morale improves. That’s still on the table.

Then Trump won’t be removed and a mortal threat to the republic remains. If it’s actually your position that it’s worse to appease Republicans than it is to leave Trump in office, we’re going to have to agree to vehemently disagree.

Interesting perspective. If you really believe that no Republicans will cooperate with impeachment then I’d agree with you, a performative impeachment that goes nowhere is I guess better than nothing.

With what we’ve seen this week, I personally disagree and think that an actual impeachment and removal is very much possible if Trump steps out of line again.

steps out of line again.

AGAIN?!

The 25th seems unlikely:

[Mark_Asher]

We’re giving him one more chance, guys. We’ve about had enough!

[Thrag]

Letting someone cross the line over and over again only works when you are leading them to the cliff! Did any of these people watch the end of the cartoon!

[charmtrap]

LOL, so the “25 minutes” was on purpose, right?

[Mark_Asher]

Maybe. What does Q say?

[Sharpe]

So when does Trump’s Twitter suspension end?

[Tortilla]

@Daagar

AGAIN?!

From the perspective of many Republican elected officials, yesterday was the very first time.

When he removes his three posts I suppose. FB said screw it and no less than two weeks there, last I heard.

I mean we’ll see, but I really dislike reflexive condoning of violence and killing for any reason. It’s a tragedy that she was killed. I’d much rather she rot in jail for years.

Especially after yesterday. Words matter. We’ve been really permissive on the forum about this in the past, but going forward, I’m not going to stand for anymore of this bullshit suggesting that people should be shot, killed, hanged, tortured, or whatnot. You guys are better than that, and if you’re not, you don’t get to post on this forum.

If it OK if I hope he dies of Syphilis of the Anus?

I read somewhere that the Twitter ban has also been extended to 14 days.
