Re: Watergate does not bother me; does your conscience bother you?
 

I'd be shocked if Trump spoke directly to any Russians. I wouldn't be surprised if he was told they were getting Russian help. Wouldn't have been smart to tell him, but these guys aren't smart.

And maybe that explains why instead of posturing the president as against any shenanigans by taking an investigation seriously, he and everyone else keeps lying.

Good points, Hank - I've heard Maddow and others talk about the differences in the political environment between then and now. It won't happen before 2018 unless the GOP thinks that leaving him in will cost them the House. And it will only happen after 2018 if the House flips and enough Republicans in the Senate are brave enough to vote for removal.

As with Nixon, it would strengthen the impeachment case if he is named as an unindicted conspirator.

Only Congress or the VP and a majority of the cabinet.

I can't believe anyone drinks both of these. I am Hendricks- I'd stay sober before drinking Sapphire- so different.

some of them will need to be in prison before he could possibly be pulled out. and I think he'll go to appointing kids as the wagons circle.

Sapphire is good with tonic, where Hendricks is wasted. Hendricks in a martini or even straight on the rocks.

Yeah, although a genuine health crisis doesn't seem out of the question. Dude is clearly unwell in some ways, albeit perhaps not sufficiently acute for action.

I love the Sapphire martini more than some close family. It's sweeeeeet anesthesia. If you get the Vermouth ratio just right, with extra olives, you get the sweet and the sour working against each other -- a perfect drink. Extra cold, too.

Sapphire bottles litter my trash like there's an ethnic cleansing on blue glass... I'd go nuts if they discontinued it.

Once Ty's dream comes true and we are a communist country, I will send you all my Sapphire rations.

Jared wanting a back channel to Russia is a bad sign for 45 not knowing about it.

Re: Mother, mother, mother - there's too many of you crying.
 

Nah. He is in a fam where the men trade out their model wives every 10 years and he likes his FIL's current ride. He is just thinking down the road.

Gin is for between Memorial Day and Labor Day, only. Hendricks and/or Tanqueray Ten but both are completely different ends of the spectrum and can't be consumed within the same week.

Sapphire, is only if there is absolutely nothing else . . . on second thought I'll have a Diet Sprite.

My summer drink is a nice chilled white port. I think the gene that makes people like gin came from the intensive in-breeding that occurred because England is on a fairly small island.

I have started to drink gin even though my people are from Kaulonia, in Calabria. For years I'd ask Italian wine stores about Calabrese wines, with little feedback. Then I visited Kaulonia. My cousin's pour Sprite in the local red wine to make it drinkable. Gin is definitely a step up for my roots.
