Queue the out of context claim or joking or press is the enemy of the people and we’ll have two news cycles to forget about designing the census to help one sports team.

I'd like to chat more on the census question if you're up for it.
There’s a new thread for this. And I’m with liebzz, this latest comment is just another tail wagging the dog scenario that has been his MO since the beginning

Would this work?
Professor Laurence Tribe has an excellent idea. In essence, his suggestion is to open an impeachment enquiry, but not for the purpose of sending it forward to the Senate to be killed off, but to result in a censure from the House.

The House's powers will be at their peak, witnesess will have to attend, including Mueller and they'll get access to all docs easier.

Dems get to air all of Trump's dirty laundry without giving him the opportunity of proclaiming vindication for 2020.

To be honest, each day his chances of re-election get worse. This should finish him off.

Well if they made a compelling case, the public paid attention and supported it and the Senate automatically killed it, you would have a chance at taking the majority in the Senate in 202, which is a distinct possibility anyway.

He's not entirely wrong though. The outrage is framed around Russian operatives giving dirt on Hilldog, not the myriad of other possibilities that could occur where that "dirt" might actually be beneficial, Like in some kind of dossier that that FBI could use to launch an investigation.

Unless the evidence isnt really there and it reenforces the "witch hunt" narrative like we saw with Mueller. I think Pelosi is doing the right thing but letting him hang himself vs trying to go directly after him.

Wouldn't be hard to do, it's difficult to keep numbers that large in your head for a soundbite.

So many faces to hate over the last two years, but hers might just take the cake. An absolute troll, inside and out.

No way there was anyhting about the last straw. She probably just doesnt want to do it anymore and is still 150% on board with the clown.

Are his eye tan lines from the goggles he wears in his tanning bed? I know he golfs a lot but I can't remember him wearing sunglasses. There is no reason other than laziness his eyes would look so bad.
