This has nothing to do with this thread, but it's where we're talking and the thread is already all over the map, so what the heck. This has to be one of the more insightful statements on the issue of impeachment that I have heard:
"At the end of the day, what is most important to me is to see that Donald Trump is not re-elected president, and I intend to do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen.
"But if -- and this is an if -- if for the next year, year-and-a-half, going right into the heart of the election, all that the Congress is talking about is impeaching Trump and Trump, Trump, Trump, and Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, and we're not talking about health care, we're not talking about raising the minimum wage to a living wage, we're not talking about combating climate change, we're not talking about sexism and racism and homophobia, and all of the issues that concern ordinary Americans, what I worry about is that works to Trump's advantage."
Can you guess the speaker? You can discover the answer here.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

What are his policy positions?
In some interviews over the weekend, he was pressed on policy (the claim was that there's not even a hint of policy on his website), and he shrugged it off as "not wanting to drown the electorate in minutia.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI don't remember where I saw it, but the Dems were discussing the need to adjust their criteria for "who gets to debate". They're worried, however, that they might be accused of "rigging the system" (like they allegedly did with Hillary/Bernie).

He has the advantage of having a very short paper trail so they're scouring social media and the like for stuff to hammer him with.
