Discussion: Pelosi Describes Trump's 'Temper Tantrum' As He Pounded The Table

Changing the subject, not that I blame you. But when you do this I notice it and so does everyone else.

They’re open, I assure you. I’m thinking about practical outcomes, not what would be morally just, emotionally satisfying, or gratifying to my posturing ego. I want him gone and I have opinions about the best, safest ways to make that happen. That’s what my open eyes are focused on.

The majority party in the House did not lose the House or the Presidency after impeaching Clinton and Nixon.

Not impeaching Trump is what the Republicans want.

So you believe Trump’s popularity will improve via the impeachment process. That would be a first. I know Trump has confounded expectations before, but it’s hard to see how anyone who thinks he’s a crook now will change their mind once the details come out.

Losing in November, 2020 is what the Republicans don’t want.

Some time ago you showed your white privilege by your cheap, dishonest excuses for Ralph Nader.

Another benefit of not impeaching him yet, the media spends a lot of time asking why they aren’t impeaching him and talking about reasons for why he should.

I’ve seen analysis by people I trust, sorry no cites at the moment, saying we’d have come closer to taking back the Senate if the GOP hadn’t whipped up enthusiasm over the effort to derail the Kavanaugh nomination. I think you see where I’m going with this.

The Republicans don’t want a trial in the Senate. It is a lose-lose proposition for them politically, whether he is acquitted or convicted.

The fucking Election, Einstein. You keep proving my point about your white privilege and the left’s death wish.

I also think it’s bait to get him to trash prayer. Because he always has to counter punch down.

…shows me that Trump is essentially hanging himself, a little bit more every day. So maybe she’s on to something.

Yesterday, when she said he’s involved in a running cover-up and pointed out that the cover-up was often worse than the crime, she subtly shifted the ground underneath the entire question. She was saying there are now grounds to impeach that are not dependent on the SCO report and supporting docs. I’m watching how that line of reasoning develops, I have yet to see any commentator pick up on it.

You may have a point there, i can see him mocking the idea of praying for someone.

And that would be wrong.

I said what I said, not what you think I said, or want me to have said.

Early on, LBJ pretty much had a super-majority to count on: 67 Dem Senators, almost 300 Dems in the House.

And two years later the Republicans captured the White House; two years after that, the Senate.

Nor for Trumpf, he’s still a fat slob.

Thank you. These are important, often overlooked facts. For all the talk about Johnson’s “persuasive” powers (which he did possess), on the sheer count of Democratic majorities, the wind was at his back.

Because he did not have an infrastructure plan. So it is a distraction from the fact that he doesn’t give a whit about infrastructure or governing and even if he did, he’s too self absorbed to do his job.

You’re asking a lot here, mattinpa. This may all sail over his head.
