I’m probably older than you are, socialista, but I still want to be you when I grow up!
I gravitated to biochemistry/anatomy and physiology when it came to the science but physics now fascinates me.
I am more informed for having read this thread - thanks!
My mother’s a registered Republican. She hasn’t voted for one since 2000, though.
The President is inciting violence.He is just so over the line of civility. If this is not an impeachable offense it should be.
Horrifying thing – it’s not new. He has long been inciting violence. Him doing so during the campaign should have ended his candidacy.
And yet, we are where we are, still dealing with his (ever increasingly worse) shit, and it’s coming out of the Oval Office now.
It’s just… incredible.
Yes, and he did this during the Republican primaries and caucuses. The demeaning language -little Marco, lyin’ Ted, low energy Jeb, the blatant misogyny and encouraging violence at his rallies
The Republican Party continues to enable him and seem helpless while our country loses its stature. I need to believe that our Constitution -checks and balances will prevail. Also, I believe that he will resign.The pressure of the investigation will eventually be too much but things may get worse before he is gone.

Well, now I’m scared. There’s a statue of General Pershing in Golden Gate Park in the Music Concourse. I walked past it a million times with various of my dogs, but I think I hear the sounds of hordes coming to tear it down.
That’s fine. How does “President Paul Ryan” grab you?
Right. I already explained how that’s different from blowing with your lungs while you’re in the boat. Check the thread you replied to…it’s there somewhere.
Cheers!
Geraldo couldn’t have had in his mind, during his tweet, that their are some trivial differences in their involvements of racism in order to compare both Robert E. Lee and Erwin Rommel. Not defending these two unjust killers, but the alternate facts Right idiots, as well as Geraldo Rivera, like to pick and choose from history to what fit their bigoted views/sentiments. His Rommel’s “untarnished by the sins of his brothers” could just be an excuse for an admired warrior, who became the “tool” of a maniacal leader. At the very, very least, waking from the Nazi delusion and nearing humiliating defeat, Rommel sought redemption to save his country in a conspiracy to assassinate the Fuhrer to end the atrocities that he was authorized to commit. He was, of course, eliminated by the paranoid mass killer.
Lee? He was born a racist, and breed as one. As a West Point trained general, he chose the racist side to play the “superiority fight.” GOOD defeated him, so he should’ve been hanged, but saved by a West Point fella, Gen Grant. He, then, went to conspire to stop Reconstruction to such effect that spurned the continued legacy of racism that’s still hunting us–now with a coward racist at the White House. Doesn’t that make you wonder why there are more Lee statues in the country than both Grant and Lincoln combined?
Aw, thanks! Turns out I often want to be you when I grow up 
I was going to go into more detail about equal but opposite forces in the original post but I thought it would be too much detail. Turns out a lot of designs for perpetual motion machines overlook something like that. They’re pulling on something that’s attached to a wall, for example, and the designer forgot (or didn’t realize) that the wall is pulling back.

And because the South still thinks it can rise again, lots of places are named after Lee, monuments, roads, highways, etc… The Husband is an ardent student of the Civil War and finds Lee as traitorous as you’ve described.
Wrong. Pence will be incapable of uniting the R party, will probably cause more divisions just by the simple fact of him being in the office. Nevertheless, Pence will face a future like Ford’s. He won’t be elected as prez and will be seen only as a traitor who aided and abetted impeachment and not just by the 30-odd% hard core 45 supporters.
Pence can claim he was elected, as part of the Repub ticket. Ford was appointed into the VP-ency and was therefore never elected .
Plus, back in the day, a good number of Republicans had a sense of ethics and were in office to do the best for their constituents.
Pence might be a “placeholder,” but I believe he will be rather an “active” one, if only as a touchstone for the nasty agendas held by Repugs against basic human rights.
Hoping that Mueller has the goods on Pence and many in the R “leadership.”

“And because the South still thinks it can rise again, lots of places are named after Lee, monuments, roads, highways, etc…”
I had to scratch my head when Fort Lee, NJ–the neighborhood across the Hudson River from Manhattan that became the focus of slime Gov Chris Christie’s Bridgegate scandal–crossed my mind.
The Senate has the most awkward political imbalance. Why should a state like Montana barely with 1 million people–oddly enough with two senators and just one House representative–has a senator with the same swaying power of one from California that’s over 40 million? That’s political inequality to me!
There’s no indication that he would just be a placeholder. He’s a religious fanatic and a hypocrite, a deadly combination.
