When asked why an impeachment over a lie about a blowjob didn't create a string of ridiculous, political impeachment hearings, but this will, the response is: "Well, that was actually a crime." Like, motherfucker are you being serious right now?
One side of this debate, 40% of this country, and 90% of the right is completely fucking lost. Gone. If they didn't have a built-in electoral advantage, they would be written off completely. There is no working with them on anything--and that's from their leadership down to their ignorant, stupid fucking entitled base.
This country is over. We are so structurally unsound that we cannot fix the problems we know we have.

The Clinton Impeachment was the beginning of the end. That was the moment where politics became total war.
Trump is impeachable for what he did, while I don’t think Clinton was, but I think between Trump and Clinton, Bush II’s lying us into Iraq was also impeachable. (And I’d have liked to see that because it would have flayed the media that got behind those lies.)
The Trump Impeachment is, like any other, partly political. Schiff’s tears yesterday are ludicrous theatre. They’ve wanted to nail this ass from the start, and he’s dumb enough to have given them ammo to do so.
I do not believe more than a handful of people behind this impeachment really give a shit about “the Constitution” as they claim. They care about power, and removing a threat to the way they like to administer the Constitution.
The GOP is going to see this as an invite to impeach the next D President. Particularly if it’s Biden, who’ll be investigated endlessly.
Credit the entire shit show to these two assholes who set it all in motion: Richard Mellon Scaife and Newt Gingrich. Executive Producer credit to Ken Starr.
