while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime
So he's innocent. Duh
She was tearing up the gratitude he gave those folks..
Yeah that's why I spent the entire night talking about crimes other presidents have gotten away with. "bUT TwUmp heRr mY SoCiAwist feewINgs".Jazzyfresh thinks that no guilty person has ever gotten away with a crime. Apparently, smile.
There are logic classes online, FYI
And I've never believed you're a conservative. Now you're literally sticking up for Pelosi. I'll leave you alone about it if you find me two fiscal conservative post by you in the last month. Personally I don't see it, I see a guy who will change his own beliefs and personal convictions in a second as long as it's anti-Trump. Pro Pelosi though.I used to think the Democrats were the ones who would look for every opportunity to be offended under false pretenses.
I'm happy to hear that their is at least the possibility of an optimistic outcome in your view. To me, in the pre-Trump world, we were already well into the post-truth era. It's just that the left (which had seized control of the narrative especially through media and academia) was successfully running roughshod over all conservative thought. A very relevant and ironic example is how effectively they neutralized Mitt Romney. I saw him as a very effective leader (probably partially because I was somewhat involved in the Olympic situation) and I also saw him as a polite and honest man (which I am still convinced that he is), but in the campaign against Obama he sadly proved to conservatives that nice guys finish last. He was neutered by the mud that was slung at him, but even moreso by his decision to take the high road in response. That path destroyed him because it gave his opposition the space to turn him into an archaic, sexist, out-of-touch fossil in the eyes of critical voters. It is so fitting that Romney and Trump's pathways have now become so interwoven. Romney's timid approach to liberal retoric (as well as McCain and Bush's legacy of the same) invited the bull into the china shop.Well, may you live long enough to know which of us was correct. I'm thinking it will take some time to undo the damage that I see taking place. And with what I see as "retrograde forces" pushing a Post Truth landscape, well, that may make finding truth as elusive as it could possibly ever be, and I doubt I'll live long enough to see us get completely past this regrettable trend toward "truth is whatever you want it to be", or "truth is what the president says it is". Authoritarians love truth that is flexible toward their needs. The reason why I cannot envision, and would never want to accept, a Post Truth landscape as a permanent state. But we are still moving into that landscape, and I hope we spot the off ramps from that path, and head for them. It's gonna be awhile, I think. I just wish more Americans understood why that trend can be so damaging if we don't arrest it soon.
And, even if I be correct, it depends on how the American people ultimately respond to what the Trump Era wrought, that will really determine if we wish it had never happened. We might still wish as much, but if we learn from it, maybe we can turn it into a positive. Right now, we are severely divided, and divided we fall. I'd like to think that will not happen, and that we can eventually elevate and honor again our core values and principles. Even if my take is correct, I'd like to believe we can recover and learn from this huge mistake, as I see it. Mistakes should at least provide valuable lessons that we can use to create a better union. We're still a work in progress, it ain't over yet.
I can see how this narrative caught hold on the left at the time, but so far this has played out in very much the opposite way that you are suggesting.He’s certainly put a lot of American lives at risk by ordering Soleimani’s execution
I think it was a bad choice on the author's part to point out only partisanship on the right. It's also interesting to me that he claims that partisanship is this big new problem, and then blames partisanship as the reason that the method for selecting the senate had to be changed early last century. That part seems to be poorly thought out.This might be the most insightful short essay on impeachment, and it's inherent flaws, and flaws born of partisanship, that I have ever read. Would that I could be this concise and on point. Yes, it's anti-Trump, which might encourage my pro-Trump friends to ignore it, but I do believe we can all gain from the insights this essay provides. Essentially, it's about what partisanship has rendered. I found it very clarifying, and am sharing it for that reason.

His sentencing recommendation was incredibly out of touch and out of proportion to his "crime." The reason the left hates him so badly is because of his connection to Trump, not because has ever done anything that merits spending nearly a decade in prison.

If you are critical of trump, or critical of anyone with any connection in any way to Trump, then you are "The Left"When you see the prosecutors of the DOJ (and the agents of the FBI) as "the left", that's really way, way out there.
