Here’s a graphic illustration of Susan Collins doing her thing with the Dems in the Senate impeachment trial.  I’ll leave the comments to our readers.

Okay, so remember that 24 hours of opening arguments had to take place over two days?

McConnell amended his organizing resolution for President Trump’s impeachment trial by giving each side three days to make their opening arguments, which can last for up to 24 hours, the same amount of time given to the prosecution and defense during the 1999 impeachment trial of President Clinton.

But, in exchange for blinking, he ordered that …

What about the kool-aid?

Here’s the Republicans handing us a scam impeachment “trial” of a president seeking to be Dear Leader and Premier rolled into one, and what do we do?  We screw it up by starting a family feud.

A four-hour docuseries about Hillary Clinton will premiere in its entirety March 6 on Hulu, the Hollywood Reporter reports.

In it, Clinton slams Sen. Bernie Sanders: “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”

She refused to say whether she would endorse him if he won the Democratic nomination.

Shut the hell up.

Obviously, someone likes him or you wouldn’t be so damn bitter. He has friends. Some people like him. Just shut up.

Even suggesting that you might not vote for him if he’s the Democratic nominee belittles you and the entire damn country. But mostly it belittles you. Shut up about it.

This just makes me want to sit down and cry. Please don’t patronize Democrats who support Sanders. I know some Sanders supporters who can give you a dozen rational reasons for supporting him. They were not sucked into it, they thought their way there.  Don’t tsk-tsk them.

I have stayed out of the Hillary fight because I support anybody who will run against Trump.  I would even support Hillary, again.  If she’ll just shut the hell up about petty crap like this.

Yeah, I’m rolling my eyes.

Republicans took Alan Dershowitz down to the river to baptize him.  They dunked him three times to get all the liberal off and then banged his head against a rock about five times too many.

After OJ, the man was a nobody.  Nobody cared what he thought or asked him to be on teevee.  OJ eventually went to jail and Dershowitz went to celebrity hell.  In my way of thinking, they both deserved what they got.

But, Dershowitz found his way back. He did a complete flip flop on what the Constitution says and now says the framers did not mean abuse of power to be an impeachable offense. Okay, if abuse of power is not impeachable, what the screaming hell is?

How does he explain this about-face?  When questioned about his current views as opposed to his opposite views during the Clinton impeachment, we get this.

“I am much more correct right now having done all the research.”

Nope. You cannot be “more correct.” You can be right or you can be wrong. This is not a multiple choice question. Going the opposite direction is not getting “more right.”

Dershowitz is 81 years old. He ain’t got a lot of study time left to spare.  Who’s to say that if he studies it for another 20 years, he won’t come full circle?

But I still respect him slightly more than I do Ken Starr. Ken Starr is just a law gigolo.

Gun nuts from all over the country crowded around the Virginia statehouse yesterday (on Martin Luther King Day) to protest laws that no one has proposed.  Their main objections that caused their fake outrage was that the new Democratic majority was going to…I kid you not…to “shut down the internet”, “have no-knock raids on gun owners”, and to “start confiscating everyone’s guns”.  This is in response to the state legislature’s consideration of improved background checks and limitations on the number of guns on can purchase in one month.  That’s real tyranny, right?  Generally, I find that those who parade around like this are either 1.  Criminals who can’t legally own a firearm, 2. Right wing racists who try to piss off normal people by co-opting holidays like MLK day, 3. Mentally unstable, and 4. Compensating for a physical deficiency.  Namely:

Most of said demonstrators yesterday were all dressed up in body armor, helmets, radio headsets, multiple firearms and vests that hold multiple high-capacity magazines.  Many claimed they were members of “militias”.  A news flash for these fine fellows – you’re not a member of a militia.  You are a member of an armed mob.  Militias come under federal, state and local authorities, and not just any group of idiots can dress up, and run around in the woods playing Army.  Here’s a really good explanation of the laws surrounding actual militias.

I’ve found these folks impossible to talk with about their gun obsession.  Their minds are so full on nonsense about the Second Amendment that they believe it was written to allow individual citizens to attack the government if they disagree with what their government is doing.  The Second Amendment was added for the opposite reason, which was to provide a structure for federal, state, and local governments to protect from insurrections and attacks from standing armies (like the British).  So much bullshit has been pumped into the public domain about guns that we have the result today of thousands of gun nuts protesting laws that are not proposed.  And most of the media let them get away with that.
