FCCK TURTLE BOI...major league arsehole.

I like that, it's an "impeachment referral".
So, it's up to Congress.
If not for DOJ policy regarding a sitting President, this would be a criminal matter.
The Russians interfered with the 2016 election.

I'd call that marching orders for Congress.
"The constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing"
I understand what that means. You know what that means. But do you really believe the idiots watching Fox News understand what that means. By being so f'ing vague, he allows the republicans to argue stupid **** like this.....
I understand why mueller believes it's "unfair" to just say "the dude is guilty, but we can't indict so it's up to congress" because mueller believes you can't accuse when the accused can't defend himself in court. However that's a fairly nuanced justification that maybe (at best) 50% of the country understands.
It comes down to the classic question. Is it ok to fudge your principles just a tiny tiny bit for the greater good.

Seems like this capability should be in Robert Mueller's dna. Republicans have become masters of situational ethics (as opposed to what I will refer to as ethics classic).ducky23 said:

Pelosi:
Of all people, Geraldo Rivera perfectly encapsulates my feelings
What I'm sure mueller understands is that impeachment proceedings ain't going to happen unless public opinion shifts a bit. What mueller said today maybe nudges public opinion in the right direction, but he could've helped a brother out and dealt at least pocket 10's instead of relying on the American public to decipher his carefully worded legal statement.

As I recall Watergate and Nixon as a kid, the one thing I remember vividly was the OUTRAGE. I remember the old man coming home from work popping a beer and turning on the news and by the end he's be seething, ready to kill someone.
What Mueller's style has allowed is for the GOP to bury the whole mess and kill the moral outrage a shovel of dirt at a time. That's what the Rudy G gibberish was about, same with *****abee Slanders.
I get Pelosi's POV: have to have the congressional investigations lined up and ready to drop but not until you see the whites of their eyes, so to speak.
The thing is, she should let some Congress members loose to rattle the cages. The GOP Amash is gaining steam...take a cue from him. MORAL OUTRAGE is what's needed...not looking down at your damn phone. The lemming approach doesn't work. If I'm Pelosi I appoint a internal ATTACK committee to stoke the fire and punch the GOP in the throat. It's the only thing they understand.
It's go time...

(2) Please read my report, because election interference deserves the attention of every American and when a subject of an investigation obstructs or lies to investigators, it strikes at the core of the government's effort to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable.
(3) Please read my report because it explains why we couldn't charge POTUS with a crime, but that doesn't mean he didn't obstruct justice, and as I say in the report (read it!) if we had confidence that POTUS clearly didn't commit a crime we would have said that but we didn't.
(4) Beyond that, please stop fussing about the legal niceties and just read my report. Seriously, please read the report because the facts described there are really important and should inform whatever comes next, which is up to you all.
(5) Please read my report because because it says everything I have to say on this topic and I have nothing more to say beyond what is in the report.
(6) Please read my report rather than subpoenaing me to testify, because if you do I am just going to read the report as my answer to every question and I will do so in a halting monotone maybe without even making eye contact, so why don't you just read it yourselves, without me.
(7) In case I haven't made it clear, I am saying you should read my report. Then do whatever you think you need to do. So, in conclusion, read the report. Have a nice day.

The Federalist is a RWNJ website...despite the regal name and faux governmental reference. It gets a hard right rating.

This goes the heart of why the GOP denounce education, defund it, want charter school and don't want informed citizens. Welcome to post-literate America.B.A. Bearacus said:

Don't most wing nuts order a side of Russkie golden showers to go with the ass kissing?
With institutional racism deeply woven into the fabric of the military, it makes one wonder if tRump has generated enough hatred and fear (the siblings of racism) that he could muster the backing of the military and declare the 2020 Election void if he is not re-elected.

I'm liking this pro Trump Navy.
The White House requested this. Would any of our Conservative brethren here be willing to share their thoughts on this matter?
I conclude with this thought:
I can understand people not agreeing with the philosophy of the Democrats. I can understand people being attracted to the Republican philosophy. What I fail to understand is how any person of good will and conscience can support a man that conducts himself in the manner that Donald J. Trump does.

I also like 2-2 late position, either limping in or being among multiple callers of a single raise when chip stacks are large compared to the blinds. If a 2 comes on the flop to give you a set, it's a great disguised/sleeper hand to win a big pot, possibly doubling up. If not, fold it for minimal loss (or as always, possibly bluff if you read weakness).GBear4Life said:Why is pocket deuces always dismissed as a bad hand?

On topic, I have no idea if proceeding to impeach is the right move. I could see it helping with overall Dem turnout in 2020, but maybe primarily in the already blue states. It might hurt overall in the all important Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania swing triad, since it will surely rally the Repub base too. Same with Florida. Who knows which effect will be greater.
That Trump actually deserves to be impeached for obstruction of justice (and emoluments clause issues) is beyond question in my mind, but deserve has nothing to do with it unfortunately. With the utterly amoral MM and fellow Repubs in the Senate, it's not actually going to happen. Just a question if forcing them to explicitly (rather than implicitly) block it is a good move for 2020.
