Lot's of tv time. They have theirs....just be infinitely patient. ("Where should we go for dinner tonight?&quot
Meanwhile, some kid walking down the street w a jay-hoo hanging out of his mouth at 2am, just got arrested, and will be convicted of use, ending any chance of he/she going to college. (Isn't trump paying for something w the Pell grant stash now anyway.?)
I heard old Jerry Nadler (Love you cousin), just sent off ANOTHER very, VERY rough letter to don. (How do I know? Bc Don wiped his ass with it and will shortly tweet something related.)
Meanwhile, don's whole 'process' from the shit he stuffs in his face , to the shit he craps out, is paid for in full, by allllll of us. (Except corporations.) While he plays dictator.

What are YOU doing to help get Trump out of the White House StarfishSaver May 2019 #23
Calling my rep & Madame Speaker every week telling them I think they should start impeachment. CrispyQ May 2019 #29
Calling your rep and the Speaker are nice, but not enough StarfishSaver May 2019 #32
I suspect nothing anyone else does is good enough in your opinion. -nt CrispyQ May 2019 #38
Nice jab. But it won't work StarfishSaver May 2019 #40
Is that what you're doing? Iggo May 2019 #48

"laying groundwork" doesn't explain anything, we need a road map. uponit7771 May 2019 #12

Why do you need a "roadmap"? StarfishSaver May 2019 #24
I already explained why the avg politico needs a road map in my post you're replying to. uponit7771 May 2019 #28
But what do you want the plan to look like? StarfishSaver May 2019 #31
The "road map" should look like a road map ... dumb it down to pictures and small words if needed... uponit7771 May 2019 #33
That's not an answer. StarfishSaver May 2019 #34
Those are direct answers to your direct questions and pettifogging what a roadmap should look uponit7771 May 2019 #35
"A 10 yr old can outline a roadmap to homework" but you can't seem to describe a roadmap StarfishSaver May 2019 #39
This is false, I said a road map should look like a road map ... are we really going down the path uponit7771 May 2019 #41

"A roadmap should look like a roadmap" EffieBlack May 2019 #45
I disagree, pettifogging on what a road map should look like sound like obfuscation at best. We know uponit7771 May 2019 #53
LOL. It's "pettifogging" to define what you mean by "roadmap"? StarfishSaver May 2019 #56
No, and your overt strawman is noted ... come on, we don't have time for this uponit7771 May 2019 #57
Asking you to define what you've spent a good portion of this thread demanding is a "strawman"? StarfishSaver May 2019 #58
That's not what you did and this is a waste of energy ... you know what a road map plan in this ... uponit7771 May 2019 #59

Great. At least that's something to work with. Now let's look at it realistically: StarfishSaver May 2019 #93
I totally see where you are coming from BUT NewsCenter28 May 2019 #97
That's not how Bush v. Gore proceeded - but it still followed a process StarfishSaver May 2019 #98
You're spinning the facts there NewsCenter28 May 2019 #104
Being "technically accurate and quite legit" is "spinning the facts"? StarfishSaver May 2019 #105
Sounds to me like you think Bush V. Gore NewsCenter28 May 2019 #107
How on earth did you get that from my posts? StarfishSaver May 2019 #109
Ok I stand corrected NewsCenter28 May 2019 #110

what happens when the senate wont impeach him? then what? samnsara May 2019 #37
What happens when we say, oh, we can't impeach him because the Senate won't? Hint: the same damn KPN May 2019 #46
What happens is: we hold an election. brooklynite May 2019 #63
That's true either way. The election won't be held on impeachment hearings. KPN May 2019 #65

So you want to go with 45% support? Locutusofborg May 2019 #76
That's the most recent polling and I agree with you keep the investigations going and elongate ... uponit7771 May 2019 #77
The 43% number you cited was in March of 1974, two months before the impeachment hearings started StarfishSaver May 2019 #78
