[QUOTE=worstblogever;4639296]Yesterday, Florida Congressman Francis Rooney (R) stated that he was open to voting for impeachment based on the evidence.
That courage is not coincidental, it seems, as today, Rooney announced he would be retiring after what will be but two terms in office.[/QUOTE]
Still....it's better than no one. We may need this to trickle before it floods. If it does at all.

Saw [URL="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/10/18/1893465/-Let-s-get-real-about-Tulsi-Gabbard?utm_campaign=trendingV"]an article about this over on Dailykos[/URL] that indicates most of the retweets of Gabbard's "warmonger" insult on Clinton were from bots. It also notes Gabbard has run onto Fox News to attack Democratic leadership since 2015, when she decided it was an outrage that President Obama wouldn't use the phrase "radical Islam", which is usually the sort of bulls*** you'd expect to be coming out of the mouth of Louie Gohmert.

[QUOTE=heretic;4639276]I remain fundamentally astonished at how the living incarnation of all things the Christian Right wants to fight has such obsessive support. As mentioned, this is souring a lot of people on Christianity in general.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but let's not pretend like there was ever a time when Christianity actually lived up to its supposed principles and wasn't blatantly hypocritical.

So let me get this straight.... Parliament passes a law requiring Johnson to write a letter to the EU. He writes a letter doing so, does not sign it, and adds a note that he doesn't mean it?
Is that in any way following the law? I remember people talking about that possibility weeks ago and an expert saying that OF COURSE that would be illegal.

Personally I think at this point the Queen should step in and tell Boris his services are no longer required. She still has that power if she chooses to use it.

In the four weeks since Nancy Pelosi launched the investigation, Trump has taken steps that have drawn more criticism, not less. Clearly the pressure has gotten to Trump, and he can't handle it. One would wonder why he wants four more years of this madness, but, Trump loves the power and the attention that comes with being president, plus, his ego won't allow him to quit, so he's going to fight to the bitter end, even as he drags the country down to hell.

Since this was in that article, I'm going to take a minute to make sure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle...
[QUOTE][B]Elsewhere in the CNN segment with Burnett, Jones, who referred to Clinton as a
”legend,” suggested there was a “backstory” to the Gabbard-Clinton-Russia debacle.
He pointed to Gabbard’s decision to resign as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2016 to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for president.
[COLOR="#0000FF"]
“It’s been payback hell ever since,” Jones charged.[/COLOR]
He later added, “I do not want somebody of her [Clinton’s] stature to legitimate these kind of attacks against anybody ― if you’ve got real evidence, come forward with it, but if you’re just going to smear people casually on podcast, you’re playing right into the Russians’ hands.”[/B][/QUOTE]

I'm loving that conspiracy theory that Tulsi Gabbard is somehow a completely respectable Democrat who is getting payback for some thing or the other, when she is a burning dumpster fire politician with more skeletons in the closet than a Halloween popup store.

Heard about that on the news this morning. Another lie by Caramel Caligula. I wonder if those troops were told (or perhaps, misled) that they were returning to the States before being diverted to Iraq?
