Went to a fundraiser for Pete Buttigieg in Key West attended by his husband last night. Very good speaker,
It will be official tomorrow. The President may crime as much as he wants, without intervention, so long as his criminal acts are for the purpose of staying President "if he believes that is what would be in the country's best interest."

Impeach Alan D
We are clearly in insane times.
Goodbye democracy. It was great while it lasted.
I guess I knew the GOP Senators are a bunch of shitbags, but to actually see it play out live is stunning and horrific.
Trump is a lot of things, but I didn't know he could see into the future, when he said he could 'stand on 5th Avenue and shoot someone'.
Poor little Marco Rubio, "Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a President from office."
That's one big hunk of huh?
One remarkable thing to me is that Trump belittled Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz in 2016. "Little Marco." Linked Ted Cruz's father to Lee Harvey Oswald and by implication, helping to assassinate Kennedy, or some such nonsense. And yet, these two Republican senators will vote to acquit.
Will be interesting to see what Romney does.
Is this now officially the only trial in the United States that didn't have called witnesses?
What a freaking farce. All Republicans in Congress are a joke.
DNC members discuss rules change to stop Sanders at convention
Bring back the smoke filled rooms.
(Seriously. I wasn't being facetious.)

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there is a brokered convention

Snickering at your pathetic attempt to stir the pot and to deflect from the horror that the Senate Republicans just wreaked upon democracy.
Actually, if the Politico article is accurate, it is relevant. Didn't the DNC chairs (Wasserman Schultz and Brazile) both resign after they were caught trying to screw Sanders (not figuratively) out of the nomination in 2016? Hope this time the DNC finagles a better candidate.
I have to admit that I didn't watch the impeachment proceedings (too busy at work). I tried keeping up with it on the news. But was there ever any mention of the 2nd article of impeachment, Obstruction of Congress? All I heard about was the Ukraine matter, and now it seems they are wrapping up?

We officially became a monarchy last night; the Republic is dead.

And yet 1/3 of the country still admire (and probably) relate to the Moron.

And 43% would vote for him again. Guess they don't understand that the world is pointing and laughing at him, at least when not shuddering in fear at the damage he is doing to his own country and the world.
I wonder if San Francisco had won if Trump would have congratulated that city or the state of California. I suppose he has an excellent chance of winning in Missouri or Kansas, but not so much in California.

Oh, you thought we were surrounded with 100% good people? Many of them are people who know feel free to spew their racism, bigotry, and homophobia upon the public. Hilary said half his supporters are "deplorables." Yeah, I'd say at least 30 million adults would fit very comfortably into that number.

Don’t understand or don’t care? I’d say the latter.
Using Putin’s Bitch logic, Chinatown is in China........
"Basket of deplorables" is a phrase from a 2016 presidential election campaign speech delivered by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on September 9, 2016, at a campaign fundraising event, which she used to describe half of the supporters of her opponent, Republican nominee Donald J. Trump. The next day she expressed regret for "saying half", while insisting that Trump had deplorably amplified "hateful views and voices".
The Trump campaign repeatedly used the phrase against Clinton during and after the 2016 presidential election. Many Trump supporters adopted the "deplorable" moniker for themselves in reappropriation. Some journalists and political analysts questioned whether this incident played a role in the election's outcome. Clinton admitted in her 2017 book What Happened that it was one of the factors for her loss.
At the second presidential debate in October 2016, after Trump mentioned the speech in a response to James Carter, debate moderator Anderson Cooper asked Clinton: "How can you unite a country if you've written off tens of millions of Americans?"[11] Clinton responded to Cooper's question by saying: "My argument is not with his supporters, it's with him and the hateful, divisive campaign he has
At least Iowa has taken the award for poor election counts from Palm Beach County.

Yep. In 2008 I liked being a Democrat. The rest of my life I’ve hated it. And especially now; between the “woke” cultural far Left, the populism, and the organizational dumbfuckery I want to ram my head against the wall nightly... But despite all of that, it easily beats all of the alternatives.

Like Iowa and NH have less than 1% of the population, mostly all white, few Hispanics, and they dictate who I can vote for 3 months later. Sick!
Also what ever happened to a secret election? These look like a social media event.
What's APPening with the Democratic party?

I don't understand it either. It should be by electoral votes.
