So there's an igloo formed of human shit, and for some reason the only way to enter it is to dive into it, and then a bunch of people lop off their ge...

That's exactly not what I'm saying. I'm saying my vote against Biden will be based upon his political positions. I doubt the validity of Trump's accus...

The whole impeachment thing is a political process. It's simply not an objective fact finding mission. You have partisan people pushing forth politica...

I don't see the situations as at all similar, where you had the Senate conducting an overreaching attack on a potential Justice and Trump trying to in...

If Bill Clinton is an example, it will help the party being impeached. My own thought is that you have a dickhead of a President who is tolerated by t...

Not really. It's more about the Democrats having wanted to impeach him since he took office and waiting for whatever infraction came along right befor...

Yes, meaning the Democrats (no Republicans) condemned his behavior enough to send it to the Republican controlled Senate so that they can say there's ...

He said he thought Bush's lies that led to war were impeachable. The rest is spin, where somehow that means Trump's lies are equatable to Bush's and s...

I think it says that they know what happened and this silly theater needs to end. We all know (1) exactly what Trump said in the phone call, (2) that ...

It's probably as good an idea as the Scots leaving Britain, which is as much based upon their desire for independence and desire to lose their associa...

Yet there are liberal rich. Are they suicidal or principled? Can't the same hold true for working class conservatives?

It's possible that the reason the conservatives won is because their position is the correct one. Sometimes you have to get beyond trying to explain w...
