Hmm the whole trump impeachment thing and popular MSM push just doesn't add up. So irrational on both parties.
Too young to recall but Clinton was impeached however can't recall his VP running as president. Did the precedings end as term ended? What is the point of throwing the only established democrat under the bus and risking a very religious believer to have power? Think a varying degree of socialist vs pence wouldn't work, or is bill weld actually the real pick. He strangely supported clinton in runs with johnson, he's also a typical old school typical politician and not some populist.
Also considering thing in the global stage right now. Money pumped into the repo market(domestic/global?), could it be the the musical chairs music is about to stop. Looking at softbank and we investments, and liquidity issues and accepting 80% of 2018 IPOs were unprofitable not even touching this years... or previous... Has the gov/corporate jobs program in unprofitable companies come to its conclusion. similar to chinese ghost malls. Only stoke fires for so long. If it is going to crash hard in the next 3 months (not sure QE4) will help what does that do for trump? Impeachment discussions will only help strengthen his MY MARKET BS in a downturn. And hell he can always just say I got my presidency laurels you guys can piss off while i get a tv show.
Don't know much about napolean except he was unorthodoxed and i feel inclined to group the two. Im curious to see if this was a trump trap or not. Where it goes. Also surprised that MSM is getting better at unifying messages. Same languages words, and burying relevant info near bottom of articles. Almost spooky and chinese.

- Clinton was impeached by the house but the senate failed to take the next step and remove him from office. There would probably be a similar result with Trump.yuekit

No, the New York Times did not talk to six “swing voters” about impeachment. The article quotes a handful of devout GOP voters who the NYT has repeatedly interviewed multiple times. A thread....
The NYT is repeating its exact same 2016 reporting antics, presenting devout Trump supporters as some sort of forgotten swing constituency. Why does this keep happening, and why do they keep going back to the same individuals for interviews?

Trump impeachment inquiry and brutal 2020 election will further stoke ‘toxic’ workplaces, HR experts warn
https://www.marketwatch.com/stor…
"Worker turnover because of “toxic” office cultures has already cost companies $223 billion in the past five years, up 24% from 2008 to 2012, according to findings released Wednesday from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)."

Twitter thread this morning, from @djrothkopf
Watergate occurred when I was a teenager. But I remember vividly that the mood at the time was different from now. As the investigation continued, it became clear that profound issues were at stake: the Constitution, our democracy, the presidency, the rule of law.
Those words get used a lot today. And there is no question but that the stakes are every bit as high or higher thanks to the serial abuses of Trump and his supporters and the specter posed by Trumpism, a malevolent, hate-driven, racist, nationalist movement as destructive...
...as any we have seen in our country's history. Trump has already shown a disregard for the institutions of the country and our values that surpasses by far Nixon's criminal enterprises. He seeks power for himself, to satisfy his greed and his ego.
He has failed every test of leadership put to him. HIs betrayal of the country to a foreign enemy is the most despicable, most damage traitorous act in our history. The gutting of our Department of Justice by Bill Barr far surpasses any damage done by Nixon's cronies.Mitch McConnell has shown an unwillingness to place country before party or personal political gain at every turn rendering the Senate into an obstacle to justice and the will of the people rather than maintaining its tradition as the world's greatest deliberative body.
No, he crimes of Trump exceed those of Nixon in every way, as does the damage he has done and the threat he poses to the future of the country. And yet,something feels different this time that is also a great threat,a threat to Trump, McConnell & Barr ever being held accountable.
The tone of the national debate at the moment seems more shrill and less serious. Certainly there are serious voices out there and sound analyses. But in general the feel of the moment seems more like some great sporting event than it does a battle to restore a damaged nation.
This is due in part to the nature of 21st Century politics, to the superficiality and emotion of social media debates, to the lunatic fringe fatuousness of media outlets like Fox...but also to the sound-bite, story-of-the-minute shallowness of most broadcast networks.
I'm not nostalgic for Watergate. But watch the video of the era, read the news stories. They had gravitas. It seemed most major actors--not all to be sure, but most--realized the stakes and that history was the audience that would ultimately judge them.
We need to stop a moment and recognize the stakes, the grievous nature of Trump, McConnell & Barr's crimes, the preciousness of the institutions and values they are defiling, and the unspeakable damage to America and the world that would be caused were justice not to be done.We must put our best selves forward, our best leaders, our best voices. We must prepare the case against Trump and his co-conspirators as if all will be lost should we lose, we must prepare to persuade the most skeptical and demanding judge.
We need to find rigor and moral certainties and the words to frame our actions and our goals. We need to realize this is a different time from a week ago. The next few months will and must resonate for decades and centuries to come if they are handled properly.If we allow this to be more of the vituperative circus of the past 3 years, we will cede victory to those who are obliterating what is best about our government, seeking to bend it into a tool of their own personal greed and ambition & that of some of our worst enemies worldwide.
Speaker Pelosi is seeking to do this. Chairmen Schiff and Nadler and Cummings are doing likewise. But we all have a role in this. We all define the mood and the moment and the direction in which America's political tides will flow from now forward.
Look backwards, look at history, weigh the stakes. And look forward, look at your children and consider what failing might mean for them. It is one of the moments by which we will all be judged, by which posterity will judge our collective character.
Trump will be impeached. What happens thereafter will be the consequence of whether the impeachment process and what comes after is handled by a people who are acting as though the future of one of the world's great nations depends upon--as it most undeniably does.- Hyperbolic, frightened, word-salad. The Democrats are here to save the nation! Yeah right.IRNlun6

- He's appointed more lobbyists than any past administration. Even went so far as to appoint his kids to high ranking positions in the government.yuekit
- Past administrations, both Obama and Bush, had issues with civil liberties, Trump on the other hand just blatantly calls every negative story about him fake,yuekit
- wants to silence journalists, calls for whistleblowers to be executed, wants the government to have the power to indefinitely detain and torture people.yuekit
- This is not progress, it's like a ridiculous parody of everything that was bad about past governments.yuekit

Two headlines locally. one local one run by Gannett media. Gannet over run with ads and crap too. but i do find the langugage quite interesting. Sets up two quite quick take aways.
