End Of The Month ONT
As they yell, you can tell, that impeachment isn't going well, as the end of the month rolls around...
And no, I'm not going to tell you what song that's a parody of. Believe me, you don't want to know.
Bernie Bro Burn
Kobe Bryant
So, last week Kobe Bryant, along with his daughter, and seven other people died in a helicopter crash in California. I've never been an NBA fan, but even I know that Kobe is as close as we've come to the GOAT, Michael Jordan. Of course, this being 2020, before the fires were even out at the crash site, some WaPo shrew was tweeting (and being roundly roasted) that we shouldn't forget that Kobe was accused of rape, but stories about Kobe's generous side were also being reported. Here is one of those stories:
Hulk Smash! Welcome to Smash Therapy, where you can break whatever you want! I wonder if this is one of those million dollar ideas that will turn out to be obvious in retrospect? I can certainly think of times when I would have been all in on going bull-in-a-china-shop to relieve stress. Doing so would probably have made me hungry, so...
Gourmand's Delight
The economics of all-you-can-eat buffets There was a sushi restaurant around here that used to have a lunch buffet that I would destroy a couple of times a year (and yes, the chefs were making the sushi fresh right at the buffet), I think I got my money's worth there. I've also heard tell of a lobster buffet somewhere in New England that I would dearly love to make a run at sometime, but outside of that, buffets are not usually known for their quality food. I will admit that I had to meet a client at a Golden Corral a few months ago and the food was much better than expected.
Senior Spaces
One man turned nursing home design on its head when he created this stunning facility. This actually looks like a pretty neat idea. It might be too expensive to be widely adopted, but he might be onto something here.
Court
Science! The heat from the Vesuvius eruption in A.D. 79 turned one victim's brain to glass I've heard of having a glass jaw before, but not a glass brain. Still, probably better to die quick from the heat than to suffocate from the ash. Gaaaaaay!

Captain Josepha, my niece (a senior in h.s. Catholic girls school) has won a pre-med scholarship to Creighton university with an 85k grant. Unfortunately she seems to want to stay in the Pacific northwest close to her mom and dad and my folks and may go to UW.
Which I think (strictly among us) is nuts, especially since her GG was an m.d. from Creighton and old Omaha packing business. I bet she'd do better there than Seattle.

Sorry not buying it. It's a worthy goal but when I look at the history of other serious non-nuerological diseases I don't see it. During my time with the paterfamilias, I researched Alzheimer's extensively. I saw no evidence of any measurable progress in identifying the cause let alone anything resembling a cure. Awareness and care practices have taken giant steps but that's it.

What, is this not where "embrace the power of 'and'" was coined? Suffocation and vitrification, for extra horror.
The victim - a male about 25 years old - was lying facedown in the volcanic ash.... The intense heat from the eruption had burst open the skull, exposing the "shining black glassy material" within... reached temperatures of 968 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to ignite the fat in the brain and vaporize the body's soft tissues....
What a way to go.

So the department is looking to hire another person in the field of German history. One of the candidates was on campus today, and gave a teaching presentation in which he conducted a discussion with students about the German home front in WWI. He posed the choices facing a Berlin factory worker and asked, should this guy join a general strike to bring down the regime and end the war, or join one of the right-wing militias being organized to smash labor agitation?
Almost half the students said he should join the right-wing militias. I looked over at a few of the faculty sitting in on the discussion, and one or two of them looked like they were going to have a stroke.

Calm down. Trump won't be President - and Britain won't leave the EU
The nightmare of a Trump presidency and a Brexit vote ain't gonna happen, says Ian Leslie.
Great predicting, Ian.

Watching the Nicolas Cage "Color out of Space" and so far it's pretty good.
I wrote a rant about my personal situation, but decided it didn't need to be posted, as it was about people and things not affiliated with the Horde, and as the Horde is the only family I have left, it'd be, like, "This ain't in the clan, son, why're we hearin' of it?"
And if I'm gonna whore out things, I figure my latest animation is the thing I should be whoring. But I won't post that until the Movie Thread.
Love all of you.

The original (and yes, dammit, I do know the parody WD is referring to) song, "The U.S. Field Artillery March," was written in 1908 by Edmund Gruber and set in march form by John Philip Sousa in 1913 when an artillery lieutenant asked Sousa to compose a march for his unit. The Army's present official song, "The Army Goes Rolling Along," uses the same tune, updated words.
Anyway, here's Sousa's WWI version:

I wonder why most of the victims weren't vitrified?
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at January 31, 2020 09:57 PM (13CQC)
Puzzling to me, too. The "vitrified brain matter" looks like it might be akin to a hydrocarbon known as "pyrobitumen", which is a black, shiny solid. Speculation: the poor guy was cooked so hot that all the moisture in his brain turned to steam, and blew his skull apart, but by then he was so deeply buried in pyroclastics that the shards didn't go far. Then the remainder of his brain, was heated so hot that most of the volatiles gassed off, leaving a tarry hydrocarbon residue.
The rest of his body, being more massive, retained enough moisture for decay to set in once the heat of the eruption subsided.

Perfect example of a smug. self-assured "intellectual" sitting in London or New York, who thinks he knows all the answers, and don't know a single person who disagrees with him politically.
Cf: Paul Krugman.
Krugman wrote a hilarious column before the 2016 election where he said he didn't understand why all these deplorables were whining about the economy.
After all, the economy seemed to be going just great in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where he lives.

But, and here everyone is the... [Paul Harvey impression] REST of the story... [/Paul Harvey Impression]
Okay. So I was supposed to show up at work today in the Seal Beach office. (I normally work in the Garden Grove office.)
I decided that after all the shit? I didn't feel like it. I wanna continue to enjoy my (forced) vacation and not start up 'til next week.
So I went ahead and texted my boss, asking if I could come back Monday instead of today. He agreed, but added "you need to work a full eight hours to *catch up*."
This stuck in my craw a little. Catch up? You mean like ALL THE OTHER TIMES my co-worker (who caused this whole mess with my job) didn't do her job, so I had to do it?????
The more I thought about it, the more it bugged me. So I texted my boss, quote:
"Hi [name redacted]. I'm texting because I'm a little confused. Why is there work to catch up on? How much is there? I've provided [bad co-worker] with training on both inputting and affidavits/invoices. She should be able to keep up with this work herself."
My boss' response:
"Steve, I'm not going to go into that. It's overall a 2 person job and having to adjust with just one person can cause things to slow down."
I'd had it. I responded, also via text:
"Okay [boss name]. I understand. Just FYI, whenever I've had to work in the office alone, you've NEVER accepted any excuse from me about how heavy the workload is."
"Therefore, I resign again. You obviously don't have respect for me."
Then all hell broke loose. My boss immediately texted me back giving me the rundown I originally requested. I didn't respond to that, instead I just texted:
"I will be at the office Sunday at noon to pick up my things. See you then."
Suddenly per my boss, I find out everything is caught up (because he's suddenly furiously typing it all up himself now, no doubt) and he's saying he does respect me. Sigh, whatever.
Then we played phone tag for a while because he made it clear he wanted to speak with me directly.
Long story short, I quit and got my job back a SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS. LOL.
We'll see what happens next, on Monday. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut in the meantime.
Sorry for yet another wall of text.

People started getting sick in early December, and Chinese biologists did yeoman's work quickly sequencing the virus and developing a test for the virus.
And then - almost nothing was done. After all, there were a couple of important Party conferences coming up, and you didn't want to disrupt those because a few people were getting sick, did you?
And, of course, the Chinese government came down like a ton of bricks on people in Wuhan who were trying to raise the alarm.
Up to January 17, tourism authorities in Wuhan continued to launch the "Spring Festival Culture Benefitting the People Campaign", issuing hundreds of thousands of free tickets to attractions in Wuhan in order to encourage tourists from all over the country to come to the area for sightseeing.

That's what I read as well, and I believe Cocaine Mitch is really devious enough to do that. You Dem senators want to fuck over Trump on some made up bullshit? I'll fuck over your Iowa presidential primary. Maybe he should be called Quid Pro Quo Mitch?
If the Democrat senators campaigning for president had recused themselves because of their inherent bias in voting to remove the guy from office they are running against, Mitch might have already called a vote and they could have been in Iowa by now.
For all the bitching about The Turtle, and I've been one, what he just did to the Dem senators running for president is a glorious sight to behold.
Mitch knows how to play the political game, which is why I could never be a politician, one reason among many.

But I watched the culture and as the culture has degraded and as athlete's and celebrities have beclowned themselves and ripped their masks off, I never heard Kobe join in and denigrate his fellow countrymen.
In fact, I have heard a story, retold, that during one of the Olympics Kobe told an interviewer that he was proud to represent his country, the interviewer said that wasn't a cool thing to say, Kobe said it was always cool to represent your country.
He also said this during an interview, "While I do not
identify with any one party, I was raised in a conservative
household. But my politics are my own and not my parents. I believe
in family values and small government. I really get into politics,
but I like to keep my views to myself. That's all I will say. Let's
talk basketball and steer clear of controversy. I don't want to
alienate any of my fans."
So, I say, rest in piece Kobe, may your family find comfort that you and your daughter are at home with the lord and hopefully your life can serve as an inspiration for others in the black community to follow your example.

Ha! I actually aced a geography test that way in junior high. I still sometimes run through it in my head when trying to remember which states I've been to (37 last count).

Which part of PA, Cat? Pennsylvania is so diverse -- by which I mean that most parts of it have nothing in common with the other parts -- that I don't recognize most of the town names even though I grew up there.
There are, like, eight different Pennsylvanias.
Posted by: Bandersnatch at January 31, 2020 11:26 PM (gd9RK)
Okay. So I was supposed to show up at work today in the Seal Beach office. (I normally work in the Garden Grove office.)
I decided that after all the shit? I didn't feel like it. I wanna continue to enjoy my (forced) vacation and not start up 'til next week.
So I went ahead and texted my boss, asking if I could come back Monday instead of today. He agreed, but added "you need to work a full eight hours to *catch up*."
This stuck in my craw a little. Catch up? You mean like ALL THE OTHER TIMES my co-worker (who caused this whole mess with my job) didn't do her job, so I had to do it?????
The more I thought about it, the more it bugged me. So I texted my boss, quote:
"Hi [name redacted]. I'm texting because I'm a little confused. Why is there work to catch up on? How much is there? I've provided [bad co-worker] with training on both inputting and affidavits/invoices. She should be able to keep up with this work herself."
My boss' response:
"Steve, I'm not going to go into that. It's overall a 2 person job and having to adjust with just one person can cause things to slow down."
I'd had it. I responded, also via text:
"Okay [boss name]. I understand. Just FYI, whenever I've had to work in the office alone, you've NEVER accepted any excuse from me about how heavy the workload is."
"Therefore, I resign again. You obviously don't have respect for me."
Then all hell broke loose. My boss immediately texted me back giving me the rundown I originally requested. I didn't respond to that, instead I just texted:
"I will be at the office Sunday at noon to pick up my things. See you then."
Suddenly per my boss, I find out everything is caught up (because he's suddenly furiously typing it all up himself now, no doubt) and he's saying he does respect me. Sigh, whatever.
Then we played phone tag for a while because he made it clear he wanted to speak with me directly.
Long story short, I quit and got my job back a SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS. LOL.
We'll see what happens next, on Monday. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut in the meantime.
Sorry for yet another wall of text.
Posted by: qdpsteve at January
Hey, good standing up for yourself and showing the confidence you deserve.
You should know though, that my mentor said that when something such as that happens where an employee threatens to quit ot gives you an ultimatum because they got a better offer you should fire them then and there or when it is convenient for you. Someone that tries to coerce you has to go.
Not suggesting it is going to happen for sure but be aware.

The chancellor of CCSF sent a letter about the financial issues in November, which said, in part:
"This situation is not an emergency but part of a long-planned restructuring of the academic program to prioritize the graduation of students of color."
Because whether white students graduate from CCSF or not is a matter of indifference to the college's administration.
Are people like this chancellor aware that they are working for Trump's reelection campaign?

But I did not know the story of the Missouri bridge builder/military engineer giving us caissons for construction. I did always wonder how 'caissons' came to be used when I was reading about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. Talk about news you can use.

A few items for thought, as follows:
No, not really. But I could just be odd because I don't put much beyond surface emotion into these fights. It was a solid lock that this impeachment was going nowhere - the Democrats needed a unified caucus and twenty GOP defectors and that was never going to happen with the lame charges the House came up with.
Yes, the MSM says this, that, and the other thing but so what? They do that all the time and it isn't shifting anything at all. Ignore them.
Yes, Senator There makes a portentious sound, and Senator Where also foghorns lustily. Which is what they always do. Anyone who pays attention to their words while ignoring where their states' stand on major issues is doing this wrong.
People do not become Senate Majority Leader because they do not know how to get 50+ drama queens in a row. And anyone who thinks you can just order those people around is someone that is sniffing paint thinner fumes off of a hobo's ass. There are just a hundred of them, they are prouder than Satan, and when it comes to their perks and privileges they are touchier than a French actress. Those people you got to schmooze and smooth them along until they discover that what you are proposing is what they always intended to do all along.

Let's be honest. One of the reasons Dems are so united and forceful on everything?
Dems are afraid of their constituents. Literally AFRAID. Many of their constituents are psychotic, violent and dangerous.
If someone doesn't get in line on the D side, all the party has to do is let that person's own constituents know.
Then their lives, and the lives of their loved ones and friends, are all in danger.
Also don't forget that life is seen as cheap by the DNC honchos anyway, and they don't really have a problem with making people disappear forever.

There is a pretty good art museum at Toledo, Ohio. They had a joint exhibit project planned with a major NYC museum, and had crated up several large masterpieces for transport. The trailer was stolen at Breezewood, The City of Motels.
It was serious, but after a few days of what must have been some damned interesting phone calls to international art fences, they dropped the trailer off. IIRC, no questions were asked. Famous paintings are hard to re-sell.

Cokie was 75. I was looking her up along with the rest of the Boggs family. It seems a lot of them die relatively young.
She had a sister who died of cancer at just 51. Her brother, Tommy (Thomas Hale, Jr.) died of a heart attack at 73.
Her mother made it to 97, though.

Couple years ago wife and I took a 2 week trip down though Virginia, using county roads and eschewing the interstates.

That's the way all of my motorcycle camping trips have been. Kind of
select a target destination, then plot out the back roads to get there.
Look at the map each night around the campfire, adjust as inclined.

I hate the rain more than chuck fucking schumer. Ok maybe not, but I hate getting caught in the rain. I can see me burying the bike and renting a car to get home.

Boggs went missing with Alaska Rep. Nick Begich, Sr. in Oct of '72. The plane disappeared and no wreckage or bodies were every found.
Both Begich and Boggs were posthumously reelected.
The House declared them officially dead by resolution, allowing special elections to fill the seats.
Hale's wife and Cokie's mother, Lindy (Maire Morrison Claiborne Boggs) took Hale's seat and held it until 1990.

But this guy, people tell me his name is so secret you get your tweets removed if you tweet it. I am not sure why they seem to think it is so secret. . . They even tell me it is secret and I can't say it out loud, which is odd for what he is supposed to be doing working for me isn't very secret, or if it is they haven't bothered to tell me.

You know, I see a glimmer of a business opportunity here: "Rain Rescue Bike Transport". Riders pay a hundred bucks to join, and then a small monthly fee to keep membership in good standing. You're on the road, your trip gets rained out, you call an 800 number, and Rain Rescue sends a truck with an enclosed trailer to haul you and your bike home, warm and dry, or on to dry roads beyond the storm. At a very competitive per-mile rate. The company owns no trailers, nor has drivers on salary. Run it like Uber; they are all contractors. Bike riders, the users, call in at the outset of their trip with a general itinerary: "five of us are doing the Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend". Company keeps a tally of users out on the road, watches the weather forecasts, and alerts contractors to stand by if it looks like there may be a flurry of calls. Of course it would all be on-line, and GPS-supported, and made as an app. too.

So I remember in the neighborhood pulling up next to him in my car - we were both stopped at a stoplight and it was a cold, hard, driving February rain. And he didn't even have a rain coat. I looked over at him and grinned, and after one quick glance he wouldn't even look at me. He just sat there with cold, cold water running down the back of his pants.

The loss of the Boggs and Bergich plane was an almost exact repeat of the loss of Wiley Post and Will Rogers 40 years earlier.
It's Alaska. You go down on a mountain, the plane slides into a crevasse in the ice, and it may be 10,000 years before it comes back to the surface.

Sturgis ruined me. I hit 4 seasons of weather in 2 days in that area. One day it was hail, and later that night a dense fog and heavy mist, and some mini fucking twister we must have been near. It hit us head on while screaming down the highway, and pushed us from 70mph down to 30mph in an instant. Some smaller chick on a sportster got blown off the road into a ditch. The next day it was 90 degrees out, and when we left deadwood at night it was 38 degrees. After 10 years of that shit happening, in august no less, I started thinking about how day after day of that shit would start to piss me off if I ever headed out for a grand tour.

High German, Hochdeutsch, is official German. It's what's spoken by newscasters like Middle Atlantic American.
Low German is Plattdeutsch, and it's one of dozens of regional dialects. The dialects are massively more different from each other than American regional accents, even more so than between American regional accents and British regional accents.

Fishin' report...
Left home at 5 this morning. Lost in thought, missed the exit to my brother's house & drove 10 miles before realizing it... Left Bay Area a little after 6, arrived at Pyramid Lake before noon.
Geared up, started fishing. Started with a two-fly indicator rig. Which is basically bobber fishing. You know, redneck Trump voter fishing. Very Philistinic to us refined fly anglers. So I ditched the
Flogged the water till dusk. Nada. Will try again tomorrow. Possibly hit the Truckee River in the afternoon; word has it the fishing's pretty good, with even some off-season dry fly action going on.
On the plus side, weather was pleasant. Low 60s, light breezes. Water was toe-and-nut-numbing, tho. Beautiful scenery. Strange volcanic rock formations.
Staying at the "lodge" on the lake. Our room is a fifth-wheel trailer, hundred bucks a night. Actually not too bad; clean, has all the necessary accommodations. I've paid more for worse hotel rooms.
Will report back tomorrow, hopefully with some fish tales...

Your niece is very fortunate to get that scholarship from Creighton. It is a top notch teaching institution. (Just don't go into labor the 1st of October when all the new interns, residents, and nursing students are just starting out. Any modesty I might still have harbored before I went into the hospital was totally gone by the time #1son was born.)
Omaha also has the Nebraska Medical Center, the University of Nebraska's medical school. The Med Center is very aggressive in research, and very rich people donate millions to keep the place expanding and improving.
I suspect there is less chance of your niece getting sucked up into radical leftist politics here, although there have been a couple incidents down at UNL in Lincoln. Creighton isn't so big in football, but it is crazy about basketball.

My father's parents, who were originally from what is now the Czech Republic spoke both Czech and German. Since our last name sounds more Germanic than Czech, I thought that they might be Sudeten Deutsche even though my dad did not have a high opinion of the Germans.

Groooooaaan. Trump ought to start making some small but telling points about this. "I heard the Obamas plunked down fifteen million dollars to live in a FLOOD PLAIN. What kind of inheritance is that gonna be for their daughters? A bunch of underwater luxury furniture? Do you think he really believes in climate change? That Obama, still making those bad real estate deals, just like he did in Chicago. But really, folks, these celebrities who lecture lecture lecture about climate change don't believe in it themselves. Look where they live!"

Climastrology, that's a good one!
As far as I know, Trump is removing it from policies, charters, mission statements, which means plenty for those responsible for implementation -- as long as they're not rogue agents. An aggressive EPA head who takes on the climastrologists head-on and blasts their non-science to bits would be spectacular.

Problem is, most of the voting public has been so dumbed down by miseducation that it's doubtful they could be persuaded. But polls usually show that "climate change" ranks pretty darned low on the list of priorities of the average voter, too. Jobs and cost of living rank way higher.
Climate catastrophism is a fad, and eventually, it will run its course. But push back too hard, and the True Believers will dig in, and may become violent. Pay it a little lip service, but don't actually do anything drastic, and the great masses will be satisfied. The True Believers won't but they will be unable to get traction with the great masses.

Juan Valdez ->
Jose F. Duval, an actor and singer, died last Saturday at Brotman Memorial Hospital in Culver City, Calif. He was 72 and lived in Los Angeles.
The cause of death was heart failure, said his son, Rex, of New York City.
Mr. Duval was a familiar face to television viewers as the original coffee planter Juan Valdez in commercials for Colombian coffee. His picture also appeared on coffee cans and in print ads for 10 years.
Mr. Duval was born in Havana and came to the United States at the age of20 under the sponsorship of the Metropolitan Opera baritone and Broadway star Robert Weede. He began his career as an opera singer, appearing in a Met touring production of "Die Fledermaus," and moved into musical theater and film.
He played the King in "The King and I" in six productions over the years and had lead roles in "Kismet," "South Pacific" and other musicals. He was also seen in several movies, including "The Cardinal" and, most recently, "The Mambo Kings."
On television he was featured on the Ed Sullivan and Jack Paar shows and made appearances in many nightclubs around the world.
Mr. Duval's marriage to Betty Jane Dunn ended in divorce.
In addition to his son, he is survived by a daughter, Melissa Gray, and a grandson, Bryce, both of Grosse Pointe, Mich.

The one thing I've come to understand is that everybody in South America hates the uppity Argentinians. Even their pronunciation is different. For example, 'llame', or call me, is usually pronounced 'yaw-may'. But not the Argentines. They pronounce the 'll' like a 'zh', so it comes out 'zhah-may'.

No, I got it. She weighs 60 pounds, and I am afraid that grabbing her hindquarters to boost her in might cause her more pain. I suspect part of her refusal to even try is that maybe she hurt herself in some previous attempt to climb in the truck, and now sees it as a source of her pain. She loves car rides, so I think she will get over it.

If they do stage a walkout, even if just a few do that, Trump has a ready-made line that he can use as a teachable moment (are we still doing that?) for the undecided/independents (which are as rare as Bigfoot): 'America, there goes your modern Democrat Party!'
The Dems think they always have Trump cornered/embarrassed, being the excellent strategerists they think they are, but they always end up being Wily Coyote chasing the Roadrunner. What the Dems think will be great optics will end up shooting themselves in the electoral head. (Which is the primary reason the Dems are all in for gun confiscation: They are tired of shooting themselves in the head and want it to stop.)

The Dems have to claim too many things--keep too many plates spinning just the way they want, to keep demanding things out of the narrative.
I was struck by this solution while watching Schumer lament how dictator Trump, unless removed by the Senate will "get away with it again".
....
Get away with *what*? How have Trump's election chances improved over the Ukraine's failure to announce an investigation into Biden? I mean, what the fuck? What the fuck is going on in that thing you call a "head", Chuck?
It's simple. Their rejection has to be consequential (it is not), because the world is a horrible place if they don't get what they want. You can see it in the reaction of the "press" to the vote. America is over, Democracy is done--and Trump might go on to have the same null effect again!
Because it is a "quid pro quo" that Trump would withhold--and yet *release* funds within the deadline, he had to expect the announcement *months* before the first primary. And to make the case that it's "interference in election" it has to be against Trump's "most likely opponent".
However, they need things out of the story. They need both things. They need it to be within that time period, months before any primary, and yet a delayed interference in next November's election.
But the announcement would either have a significant effect on the support of Biden or it wouldn't. If it did, it could eliminate him from the primary. Bernie Sanders isn't going to lose because the Ukrainians announced an investigation into Hunter Biden. If it didn't, we we've moved to a position that the phone call didn't result in an effect because they didn't announce it, to a point where there is little effect because they did.
Hillary Clinton won the nomination and campaigned for winning the so-called "popular vote" while being investigated by the FIB for violating over 100 national security laws. The Director of the FIB publicly announced that she did it all--but she didn't *mean* to do it. She destroyed evidence under subpoena, and to this day, pointing all this out is some character defect of conservatives. And her opponent was "tired of hearing about [her] damn emails!"
So it's questionable how far an *announcement* of an *investigation* would have taken Trump.
Plus if it's such a slam-dunk case that President's shouldn't enlist foreign countries in "cheating in an election", isn't that something you should be able to convince the people of? And if you can't convince the voters of that, and the voters re-elect the "tyrant" it's not really the tyranny that keeps him in place, but the vote of the people. Not the Democrat's preferred outcome, but harldy the Death of Democracy or a Constitution.
Which is why the fabrication of the fevered fantasy that Trump will not leave. Well if that's the case, it would only come to light if he lost. And the case that he lost, suggests that his "cheating" wasn't that effective and not an indication of tyranny--because that failed strategy is peanuts to a President that can *effectively* refuse to leave.
He's not a tyrant if the Senate's vote is the difference. He's also not a tyrant if winning the election by cheating is the difference. He's also not a tyrant if losing an eleciton is the difference. And whatever tyrant intentions he has, if he does not succeed in effectively resisting the will of the people, the country would be free of a would-be tyrant. The only thing that would result in the Death of America is if Trump *effectively* resisted being unelected.
And if President Trump had that much loyalty, I doubt we'd see him constantly under fire in Washington. Constantly under investigation, constantly under fire, constantly in processes the self-contradicting press convinces themselves is the "end to his Presidency".
Because Democrats about about counterfactual wish fulfillment fantasies that have no tissue of reality. Where Trump is so doomed, impeached, removed, prosecuted, on the run, but if the world turns poopy, he's an unremovable tyrant that spells the Death of America.

However, this is a higher stake than simply a iffy call with Ukraine, and to suggest that the Republicans will refuse to remove no matter how Trump escalates his "tyranny" is to avoid the exact premise of the Republicans that *this* charge is not impeachable and *this* case is not well made.
But a good part of their party is mentally ill, and no matter how reasonable a case you make only a potentially reasonable remnant will be able to see it.
The rest of them will never see that Dershowitz did not say that anything a President does could be legal. Just that if an act isn't in itself illegal (and it wasn't) "corrupt motives" is unnecessary psychoanalyzing over which we should not impeach a President.

I say, let the Dems rig it for BloomingIdiot, a Napoleon complex of a man with all the charisma of a wet dishrag, and not nearly as useful.
I can see the debates with BloomingIdiot now. Trump walks out on the stage holding a 7-11 Big Gulp. Or is that a Bigly Gulp?

All Trump has to do is ask him is he always so wishy-washy, not being able to make up his mind as to which party he belongs?

Why wait? Do it now and become a trendsetter. Have we ever had a candidate, drawing crowds of dozens, croak on the campaign trail?
Btw, I had an initial typo -- 'crowds' was 'crows'
And since a crowd of crows is a 'murder', well...
Post your conspiracy theory here and beat the crowd.

Jason Lee, only son of Bruce Lee, was starring in the best film of his career in 'The Crow', when he was shot and killed on the set by a gun that the armorer failed to check for a clear barrel...
Bruce himself died under somewhat mysterious circumstances.

Via wiki --
Greeley was the new Liberal Republican Party's presidential nominee in 1872. He lost in a landslide despite having the additional support of the Democratic Party. He was devastated by the death of his wife five days before the election and died himself one month later, before the Electoral College had met.
So he didn't die on the campaign trail, despite drawing crowds of dozens.
Sorry, he fails one of my criteria. Close but no cigar.

Dear Adam,
Are you gonna draw those subpoenas, or whistle 'Dixie'?
Schitt is already threatening to call Bolton for 'testilying'. The Vindman twins are Bolton's gift to PDJT's NSC, and Pelosi changed the House rules to grant Schitt unlimited subpoena powers.

Buzzfeed was involved in getting them banned. ZH is fighting back.
I link ZH occasionally, though I usually warn that you can't trust their Russia coverage at all, and stay THE FUCK out of their comment section.
But the MFM coverage that ZH is a 'far-right' website is utter bullshit. In that case so is Drudge.

Bloomberg has now blown more of his own money than Jeb! did in his failed, OPM, cocksuckery.
Using your criterion, Bloomberg has been sucking carbon monoxide fume for months.
So the DNC changes their debate rulez once again, to allow Nanny Bloomberg onto the next debate stage even though he hasn't raised a plugged nickel in private donor cash. Which WAS a RULE.
Rules are very flexible in the Democrat world.
