Trust Your Betters: The Expert Tom Nichols Says That Rewarding Democrats with Congress Will Make Them More Moderate; David French Says There's a "Huge Knowledge Gap" Between Trump Supporters and His Fellow Liberals
Tom Nichols*, an "expert" of the sort who offers his expertise for free on Twitter, as one does, now expands his infinitely-expansive expertise to cover political game theory, and claims that handing Democrats both houses of Congress will force them to become more moderate.
Because, you see, once they have full political power, they will not take that as a signal to become even more leftwing, but will be forced to moderate in order to keep their seats. I guess this was NeverTrump's reasoning for trying to gift Hillary Clinton with the presidency -- if you deliver her the presidency, she'll have to be super-moderate to get reelected. Hey, it worked perfectly with Barack Obama, so let's give it another try! Update: A commenter asks of The Expert Tom Nichols: if giving Democrats further power will cause them to moderate, why should it not be the case that voting more Republicans into Congress will cause them to moderate as well? I guess my commenters are actually More Experty Experts than The Expert himself. Or maybe Tom Nichols is just another one of those partisan liberal Democrats pretending to be a rock-ribbed Republican on Twitter in order to better subvert Republicans.If Republicans move to the Dems for a cycle or two (2018 and 2020), it'll be good for *both* parties. Dems will have to move back towards the center - and lose again if they don't. GOP will have to clean house or return to being a minority. https://t.co/hWhTMD32Wl
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 29, 2018
Because if they win in one cycle with more votes from the center-right, they have to think about how to keep them, or lose the next time out. #politics101
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 30, 2018
Because they're less of a threat to our national security and to the Constitution right now, and because there are Democrats who are not on Twitter who I trust in Congress more than most of the current GOP, who need to lose their majority and re-think what the party means.
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 30, 2018
One thing that I see political analysts get wrong all the time. They over-estimate the extent to which Trump supporters know about (or believe) the various Trump scandals. There is simply a gigantic knowledge gap between the politically-engaged subculture and everyone else.

French's "knowledge gap" is an appeal to secret knowledge. Basically, he's shoveling a conspiracy theory.Yes, these guys do seem to "know" a lot of things not reflected in the public record.

We can assume Tom Nichols had his head stuffed so far up his ass during the Obamacare 'moderation' that me missed the excitement when the Democrats, controlling both houses and the White House, decided to 'moderately' create the government Healthcare debacle.

And no one is fooled anymore. It's not just that America in general and conservative principles in particular are being advanced even faster than Reagan accomplished- to be fair, his focus was on the Soviets. The problem is that the Neodems want to promote "honorable" losing at the same time they celebrate a petty incompetent backstabber like John McCain.
No one with any brains will go for that, unless they are moral bankrupts selling out for a fat payment.

Yeah, see... here's the thing:
NeverTrumpers see themselves doing the housecleaning. They don't understand that they're the trash.
When the GOP suffers electoral defeat (whether it's in two months, two years, six years, or more), there will be a reckoning. Some groups will be in and some groups will be out. The small group of NeverTrumpers, who are actively helping the Democrats, think that the rest of the party will come crawling back to them, begging for their leadership. I mean, stranger things have happened, but the smart money is on the party tossing the traitors out... or the traitors leaving on their own to join the Democrats, who will be back in power.

Really, Reagan should have done something about the commies here, and failing to execute Ted Kennedy for treason is why it is laughable to now speak of Russian collusion.
Of course, Reagan lacked tools Trump tenuously grasps, and that long gone society required far more concessions to the ruling elite. Now, the -actual- American people are in rebellion, and the authorities are cracking down. It is not time for a genteel Reagan, but a vengeful Trump.

He says that if we give the Dems more power, then they'll have to moderate.
But... the voters gave Republicans more power, and he thinks they've gone crazy. If more power makes a party become cautious and moderate to retain power, why didn't that work in 2002, or 2006, or 2016? Why didn't the total control of both houses of congress and the presidency cause the Democrats to restrain themselves instead of going full bore hard core extremist radical left?
What he really means is "we can finally rid ourselves of this troublesome President and I'm willing to pay any price whatsoever to that end." But he can't come out and be honest.

Littlefinger would have been executed on principle by even the dimmest and most cynical Borgia, while Tywin Lannister is the most overrated plotter in history. The stupid bastard has done more damage to his society than an army of Dothraki, and guaranteed an extremely bloody war even before the Others arrive to finish the job.
It reminds me of NeverTrump, only in that the peasants utterly -hate- these smug incompetents, and will happily follow anyone who pledges to burn them alive. Donald Trump is our Stannis the Mannis.

moderate platform you could argue this. But they're not. They're
running on "ICE is HITLER!" and their big star of the year is a New York
socialist who could eat an apple through a fence.
And not just "Impeach Trump," people like Robert Reich are talking about annulling his presidency, automatically undoing everything he's done (Gorsuch, etc.).
CRAZY overreach.

The problem, though, is that they won't be able to pass anything of any significance because Trump won't sign it, which means they'll probably just continue on their road of screaming for two years until they scream loudly enough that the American people give them the presidency as well.
And then they'll have won two national elections based on screaming insanity, which means that's how they'll govern.
So, yeah. Nichols is really really wrong.

This is the perfect opportunity to mention this. The other night, someone was wondering about the alien implant doctor.
I couldn't remember the name, but Art Bell used to have him on all the time.
Roger Leir was his name. He was podiatrist and he did a lot of "implant removal" surgeries. Google him and you'll find some of the videos of him going after supposed to alien implants.
He's dead now, Jim. "They" got him, I guess.

Impeachment is definitely a political act. Go back and read about Johnson's.
Congress searched and searched for some reason, any reason, to impeach. No matter how unpopular Johnson was, they still needed to have something that resembled law breaking to hang him up on, so Stanton gave them what they wanted when he refused to walk away from a job he had been fired from.

Trump, to me, -- go away no one cares what you think micky -- has something in limited availability. Common sense.
Refreshing to hear a president speak and respond in Trump's manner.
How many true businessmen have been president? One or two.
Now, what of the 'budget'? Is everyone on a committee and busy doing committee things and/or is anyone at all working on an actual budget? No?
Drain the swamp, chop the budget, chop the size and scope.
Yeah, no. Even a '57 chevy would not allow that as a bumper sticker.

The Constitution requires high crimes and misdemeanors in order to impeach. In practice, it may just require a majority vote of the House. That vote would be unconstitutional if they do not at least pretextually charge the President with high crimes and misdemeanors.

A "misdemeanor" is "a minor wrongdoing". The opposite of a high crime, in other words. The Constitution's phrasing basically means "the President can be impeached for any reason". The surrounding language, defining the process, limits that to what Congress can get away with.

This is true and not true.
High Crimes and misdemeanors according to common law would encompass the following....
"..perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, unbecoming conduct, refusal to obey a lawful order, chronic intoxication, and tax evasion...."
But as you say, the Donks are going to get their YOLO on and just whip up an Articles Of Impeachment that will be word salad and try to muscle through...

It may not be this cycle, but it's definitely in our near future, assuming the shooting war doesn't start first, that each time an executive is faced with a hostile Congress of the other party's majority, impeachment will occur.
Successfully or not.
I'm not entirely against it. It would seem to resemble the British parliamentary system, and it's possible we have a more responsive government that way. But given the idiots and rotten bastages we have in Congress these days, it's unlikely to be civil for most of our lifetimes.

No, they really don't. As people keep saying, impeachment is a political process not a legal one. Sure they dress it up with some nice language but the truth is if enough House Reps come up with something they can get enough to agree is a High Crime.
They would pay a high price if it was purely political without some sort of actual crime underpinning it but they could still impeach him.
It's kind of academic though. I don't expect the Dems to take the House and there is no way that 2/3 of the Senate is going to vote to remove unless there is a real, substantial crime.

I was just reading a little history on the adoption of the phrase "High crimes and misdemeanors". It was the result of several committees and compromises.
Impeaching judges wasn't too controversial, but impeaching executive branch officials was. One argument was, hey an election every 4 years is enough of a check. The other was, no, it might be so bad some process is needed to get the guy out right then.
And so they debated it. The original proposal was "treason, bribery, and corruption". Another group wanted to drop "corruption" and add "maladministration".
Madison thought that latter was too broad, so "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" was the final compromise wording. It had meaning from English law tradition of removing Crown officials.

Here's a paragraph from a discussion of this on the Constitutional Rights Foundation:
--------------------------------
Since 1386, the English parliament had used "high crimes and misdemeanors" as one of the grounds to impeach officials of the crown. Officials accused of "high crimes and misdemeanors" were accused of offenses as varied as misappropriating government funds, appointing unfit subordinates, not prosecuting cases, not spending money allocated by Parliament, promoting themselves ahead of more deserving candidates, threatening a grand jury, disobeying an order from Parliament, arresting a man to keep him from running for Parliament, losing a ship by neglecting to moor it, helping "suppress petitions to the King to call a Parliament," granting warrants without cause, and bribery. Some of these charges were crimes. Others were not. The one common denominator in all these accusations was that the official had somehow abused the power of his office and was unfit to serve.

Here are some hypotheticals about impeachment of a president, used commonly in class discussions about the meaning of the phrase:
Hypothetical Case #1
The president, after a long feud, has killed a political opponent. The state in which the killing occurred has indicted the president for murder.
Hypothetical Case #2
The president has committed bigamy. His previous wife left him 30 years ago, but he failed to get a proper divorce before remarrying. He made false statements on the forms he filled out to get a marriage license.
Hypothetical Case #3
The president has secretly sent assassins to kill a hostile foreign leader. This violates U.S. law.
Hypothetical Case #4
The president has just pardoned five high-ranking members of his administration who had been convicted and sentenced to five years in prison for bribery. The president had nothing to do with the bribery scandal.

And then it was pointed out to me that he was using the water used for ritual cleansing and turning it into wine, and then the part that they would understand later about the wine representing his blood, and cleansing, and my the light in my slow brain finally went click.

And with his first miracle raised marriage to a special sanctity, which occurred through the intercession of his Mother, by which she herself in one of her few recorded statements in the bible said: "do whatever he tells you to do".
And you could spend a lot of time thinking about what the master of ceremonies told the groom . . . "you have saved the best til the end" . . . and how many iterations of meaning there are in that exchange.

DiGinova is listing all of the things Huber is supposed to be investigating, specifically U1 and the Huber has yet to interview any of the key people.
Huber has also not interviewed key people in the other items he is supposed to be investigating.
Also, Huber is fucking Utah and all of the operators he's supposed to be investigating are in Washington.
This is all a multi-act production of The Aristocrats.

The other involved an older Jesus horseplaying with a buddy when the boy falls from the roof and breaks his neck. Jesus is accused of pushing the boy to his death and so in desperation, he raise the child from the dead and demands that he tell everyone that he didn't do it.

Maybe in a sense the "Trump/Russia" narrative is itself based in a belief that there is real evidence (secret knowledge) behind all the Mueller noise, but it seems even Mueller has mostly given up on that, and has concentrated of fabricating obstruction, and/or a perjury trap.

I don't think he meant "earlier" as in before Cana, but just early on.
In which case the answer is still no: Lazarus' resurrection seems to occur on Jesus' final return to Jerusalem to undergo the Passion--in fact, it was his final recorded miracle before the crucifixion.

That hypothetical is actually a wrong premise. It's not against any federal law. It's an executive against it. A president can change any such executive order at will, and so by ordering an assassination himself, he's changing that order.
The only one I'd consider impeachment worthy is #1, killing an opponent.

Actually the thing that always makes me laugh is the fact that the disciples came with him and likely drank the place dry. . .which is why there was a shortage. With Mary intercession, even though it was not 'his time' he blesses the wedding with superabundance. It was about 60 gallons of wine. . .

Hmmm....if #3 is an executive order, then yeah, no grounds for impeachment.However, as stated ("violation of US law"), then there would be grounds.
With respect to #1, I think it's a bit fuzzy, since it is a State law. The President can always be tried for murder after he leaves office.

more like a parlor trick - level event than anything else.
When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, 'They have no wine." And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."
I think there's a lot here.
First, Jesus' mother obviously knows what she's asking of him, at least she does once he points it out. "My time is not yet come." obviously doesn't mean, "I don't have $300 to go to the store and buy wine for a wedding party."
Second, Jesus submitted himself to his mother's authority. He didn't just say, "no". There are volumes to be said about our Savior's condescension to live among man and be subject to the environment here.
Third, as "parlor-trick" as this may seem, changing the fundamental nature of basic elements is a big fucking deal, to quote a retard. Sure, faking something like that is small potatoes, but actually doing it is a whole different thing.
Fourth, God is subtle. God doesn't grab you by the throat and scream at you to believe, He gently invites you to do so. Starting off with an undeniable miracle isn't His style.

Blame the prosecutor's office, not the judge. The prosecutor's office missed the deadline to file charges, and the judge merely followed the law. The judge was pretty pissed, saw a video clip.

Therefore every effort should be made to persuade leftists of the error of their ways. but your right-wing enemies just deserve to be shot.
Why do people buy into this so much? Part of it is the example set during WWII, where the alliance with the USSR required certain compromises. Another big part of it is that is that left-wing propaganda is pervasive and works.
Finally, leftists are by definition people who believe they are pure and their motives are pure and the world is unjust and out to get them. This is their position. Were they to entertain any doubt about their righteousness, they wouldn't be leftists in the first place. So it's never their fault.
