If they failed to impeach I could see a bloodbath but by being able to get it through the house they can now blame the republicans for not removing trump and use that for the campaigns to fire up their base to get the senate back too.

Their base is small and not in the right places.
It'll save the red district Democrats from primary battles, but it'll guarantee their losses in the general election.
I think impeachment is so baked in the cake right now that the impression of the Democratic Party as a whole will outweigh the individual strengths of individual candidates. Red district Democrats are boned. I suppose they'll fall in line with their potential future paymasters, the institutional left, and hope for jobs post Congress.

Please send your prayer requests, updates or praise reports to me by this evening at 8:00 p.m/ EST. Due to space constraints, things without a date will be removed. It's not because we don't care. It's just because we have limited space. In addition, if you mention your prayer request on here without sending it to me, (Do whatever you're comfortable with) that's fine but I cannot include it if I don't know. They never taught me mind reading in seminary.
Also, there will be no prayer list on the December the 24th.
Thanks for your prayers. Keep calm and pray on!

Have you seen that Trump's polls are going up since impeachment started? While I remain skeptical of all polls, the trend is noteworthy.
Failing and then blaming your failure on the other side does not sound like a winning strategy.

Yellow journalism has always been around. But the thing is, back in the day, we all knew they were scumbags. And they all knew they were scumbags. Watch the movie Front Page sometime. The paper guys were not very nice to each other, and admitted they were for the most part lazy bums.
Now they are the same yellow journalism lazy bums, but they go around patting each other on the back, telling themselves they are heroes, and engaging in the same scummy behavior as their forefathers. Oh, and they expect us to give them respect and adoration.
Brian Stelter is a prime example - lazy, offish, stupid, unaccomplished, wrong on just about everything, yet constantly preening and demanding respect. I mean, is there anyone in the media deserving of less respect than Brian Stelter?

Thou'rt right, OM. M and M started in 1978 and ran through 1982. (I dimly recall seeing Williams doing his manic stuff in an early episode and going, "Who is this guy???")
Hays's career was very hot right then, 1980, because of the success of Airplane!.
Dunno about the Gold Watch film, but the novel has some intriguing details about what the effects would be of stopping time around yourself. For instance, the entire world turns red. The hero reaches out and pushes a paper cup someone had just thrown -- it's in mid-air to him in the frozen red world -- and reflects that it feels like moving an object made of lead foil. Then he turns the watch off, everything movies again, and the cup rockets away like a baseball knocked for a home run.

I do hope Trump offers Britain a preferential deal. An enormous amount of German exports go directly to Britain... somewhere on the order of 25%, IIRC.
If GB can substitute American goods for German ones during their negotiations, it removes a lot of the EU's leverage , and places the Krauts (who ARE the EU, let's face it) at a yuuuuge disadvantage.

I think it's a bit different there because of the enormous investment the various European governments make in rail. As a consequence a very large percentage of people are employed in the rail industry either directly or indirectly.
And because rail travel connects so many countries it binds them even tighter.

The problem with the media is they've gone from an industry that was primarily intended to entertain or inform and has become an industry driven by idiots who want to "change the world."
I always say, if I was a journalism professor, I would ask my class on the first day of Freshman orientation, "How many of you are here because you want to change the world?" I would make a note of everyone who raised their hands, then tell them to get the hell out of my class and go major in philosophy. Journalists aren't supposed to change the world. Journalists are supposed to report FACTS, as clearly and impartially as possible, so that their consumers can decide if the world needs to be changed or not.

An electric car fanatic and obvious liberal sex toy once made the very sad mistake of trying to lecture me about driving a truck. They proceeded to tell me how I was "assaulting the environment" and promoting fossil fuel use. They didn't like it when I told them it took fossil fuels to produce the electricity to power their matchbox death trap. Nor did they like it when I told them gasoline powered vehicles were more reliable and overall more economical. It ended when they realize I was ultimately not the right person for them to be harassing, we'll just leave it at that.

Those "penis fish" that were "washed up" on California's beaches last week? They aren't actually fish. They're a type of worm that lives deep under the beach sand, where they make u-shaped burrows. They're called Innkeeper worms, because their burrows are often used by other ground-dwelling critters. Usually they live deep enough under the sand that beachgoers don't ever see them and have no idea they're underfoot, but strong storms washed away a lot of the beach sand last week, revealing their gross, sausage-like penis bodies to the world.
This is, in many ways, the story of the modern media.

But they didn't. They lied and hid information and practically goaded the Democrats to impeach Trump. They whipped up so much anger with fake news they made this all but inevitable. And now it's all going to blow up in Democrat's faces.
------
Yeah. My suspicion is that the supposed "improvement" in Trump's approval rating in the media's rigged-up polls has in fact not been improvement. I suspect his actual approval has been holding pretty steady since the end of Bob Mueller's Disasterpiece Theater, and impeachment was an attempt to damage it.
Now that it hasn't, the media is divulging "improving" poll numbers to warn the Party to pull up before they auger in.
That's my operating assumption, anyway. And I'll bet his approval is in reality higher than they are admitting, to a non-trivial degree.

But the Dems were so invested in it, so sure, like 98% sure, they he'd get something, that they now believe all they have to do is juice it up a bit and the public--who already gave the benefit of the doubt--will just shrug and go along.
That's why they're coming back with: "and here's all the things we would have impeached Trump for (but we are too chicken-shit to vote on)"
They think they can sell the public on "all these other things are what we really meant by 'abuse of office'"

So my ex has the kids on Christmas Eve and I have them on Christmas Day. Trying to make my own traditions now as the previous ones were obviously blown up with the divorce.
Open presents have brunch with my family,games, etc then finish the day with hosting dinner for the extended family here in town. I never try to impose on what is time with their mom.
So what happens? She's at a friends house with the kids who's house she goes to solo for Christmas Day and the friend blurts out oh why don't you bring the kids this year? What would be the responsible adult thing to do in this coparenting situation???
"I'm sorry the kids are with their Dad that day so maybe to kids could come over and see your kids the day after Christmas? Yeah well no that's not how it goes she instead calls me to ask to have the kids (16,14,8,4) for part of the day because they want to go so bad. I decline explaining that I'm making my own traditions and if they'd want to go on my day the next day I'd be completely cool with it.
Also have the same conversation with the 3 older kids explaining the same exact opportunity.
Issue over right? well thought out, calmly explained to everyone how important it is to have my family together with me on Christmas.
Yeah a new email last night from the ex re-visiting the issue and saying the kids are really pressing her about it and could they just do a couple of hours...on Christmas...the one day a year where I've put my foot down about spending the day with my kids because I've bent over backwards when it comes to respecting long held family traditions of Sunday dinner with my former in laws (who I still am close to but not allowed to associate with) even on "my" weekends.
Just for once could it get through her head that sometimes its necessary to be the adult in the room and shut this down...now I get to be the asshole parent again because she doesn't have the maturity level necessary to be an adult.
Merry Christmas!

>>Isn't the Hallmark Channels main audience families who lean conservative
on social values? So why would you yield to the Gay Twitter Mob who
doesn't even watch their channel?
My guess: because they
are in the greeting card, paper and gift business and the channel
serves as a promotional tool. They run Christmas movies all year 'round
and sell Christmas cards, wrapping paper, ornaments, and gifts.
actually, they were running a decent selection of '80s mystery shows before, oh, start of november or so. "murder she wrote", "hart to hart", "columbo". plus a variety of recent original mystery shows that i never watched.
i was annoyed when the christmas movie marathon started.

Hallmark has become the left's newest target.
My mother was telling me that she was reading somewhere about how the networks are trying to figure out how they can learn and compete from Hallmark. Because they have a large viewership and it's probably growing. My mother is one who still watches the alphabet channels although we are moving them more towards other streaming channels. She said she is done with ABC, for example. She is sick of what she sees. It's good to hear. It's effecting their bottom lines.

Curiously, in the past when a leak of *actual* true misbehavior would have impacted Dems, it didn't happen.
See: Patrick Cannon, mayor-to-be of Charlotte. They knew in June of that year that he was going to be indicted, but withheld the news (and the indictment) until *after* he was elected five months later.

Regardless, the difference in programming is night and day even with the mysteries and detective stories. So much PC bs now that the story is neglected. They just need to stuff it with politics now.
I never watched Veronica Mars until I found it on Prime. It's a great show in the beginning, before the left injected their virus into the system. We paused to watch the movie that came out pre-the last season of the show. The movie was crap, the last season is so much crap. It is like a light switch.

Except. . . every time there was a commercial break they would run promos for their reality shows like "The Bachelor" and whatever else (maybe the one where they all live in a house and people get kicked out), and it was all sex talk, getting drunk, hot tubs, etc..
I've never watched those horrid shows, but we had to stop watching Wipeout because they inflicted these promos on us nonstop.

In Hallmark's defense, they do show that a lot of dudes centered on money and material goods do not satisfy a women's needs for friends, romance, and family (at least in Hallmark world).

I used to struggle to find good examples of 'begging the question'. Most explanations I've seen get all wrapped up in confusing jargon.
I like to think of it as meaning 'using the conclusion to set the premise'.

Your only response should be, "Hell, no!"
If you let her get away with this it will only be the beginning of an endless stream of attempts to change things "just this one time". She's trying to make you the scapegoat here. Don't fall for it.

My (white) brother lived with a black friend and roommate in a black neighborhood in North Las Vegas. He was pulled over frequently by police because it was so rare to see whites in that neighborhood who weren't there to buy drugs.

Yes, including the attempts at doing his series hero, Travis McGee (though Rod Taylor made a good McGee). You're right, Cape Fear's movie ending is better than that of the novel.

That used to happen to me when I lived in TX in my early 20s. I had a Lebanese (Christian) roommate who looked Hispanic to Texas cop eyes (he had to be the only Lebanese guy in town) which further exacerbated things.

Now it means, "this set of facts can lead you to wonder about something else" instead of "my conclusion is based on things that have not yet been established"

series. Erin's tight clothes bestirred my youthful loins they did.
I recall an article about the Buck Rogers TV series, where the spoke about making her body armor. It involved wearing only panties, copious quantities of Vaseline, and plaster of Paris to make the mold. That body armor clad Erin should have been one of the pic's.
I'll be in my bunk.

Journalists are supposed to report FACTS, as clearly and impartially as
possible, so that their consumers can decide if the world needs to be
changed or not."
good point
I'd give them some latitude, if they had a different attitude. The founders recognized the need for "a free press" as another check against the constant tendency of those in power to be corrupted. So "journalists" or reporters can fulfil that role and help protect liberty.
But an agenda to change the world into a globalist totalitarian regime is a corrupted attitude, because the powers that be bought them out, and they are no longer a "free press", they are a bought press. (first infiltrated by Soviets, now several corrupt enterprises are buying the "news" as propaganda (for their anti-liberty fun and profit).
