The semi-competent Republican would be under a microscope and trying to rebuild confidence in the party, though

 

Spoiler

... :rofl: I can barely get that out with straight face

I have often wondered why somebody would want Trump replaced with a person who supports the same policies but is infinitely less likely to derail the process to achieving those policies.

Well, the overt looting of the country would stop; along with the overt demagoguery, incitement to violence,and aggressively stacking the federal agencies with people designed to dismantle them... Assuming pence isn't also a Russian agent.

The first three, sure, but the fourth is standard Republican policy now and is the only of the four that really matters in the long run.

That being said, Pelosi is playing it slow and thoughtfully. The investigations will continue and she's left the door wide open for the charges that DO come to be labeled as serious ones as she's set herself up as a skeptic.  With all the Republicans gleefully saying how they're locking arms with her don't realize that it's giving her the non-partisan cred she'll need to sell impeachment to Republicans (or at least the media).

 

Remember, Nixon didn't resign until his own party stopped defending him. That really does need to happen first. It's like people are mad that Pelosi watched The Wire and actually took the wisdom of the show to heart. When you come at the king, you best not miss.

There's a difference between a Condaleeza Rice State Department and a Rex Tillerson one, just as an example. Republicans may be hostile to some agencies and thus staff it with unqualified cronies but trump has taken it many steps further into being its own creature.

Remember when people thought he would get 10 years added on here, and he actually got less additional time than the first sentence...

Jackson's sentencing seems very reasonable. Much more in line with what a non-max sentence should look like than the joke that Ellis gave.

 

Lets remember that Jackson was weighing 10 max, while Ellis was working with a recommended 19-25.

 

While I am sure either judge would hate this comparison, it kind of strikes me as totally in line with the larger battle between left and right in this country. The right does something brazenly partisan, racist, or un-Democratic and then the left is expected to play by the rules, say all the right things, and do no wrong  or any small deviation is seen as just as bad as the worst offense from the right(Omar and Steve King....). Ellis comes out and all but says, "Fuck this witch hunt, fuck the sentencing guidelines" and gives not just a light sentence, but one that doesn't even appear to attempt to justify itselft(the "blameless life" line, Ellis himself noting how Manafort seems shockingly unrepentant). And then "our guy" Jackson comes out with the opportunity to throw the book at Manafort to make up for it, but she refrains from doing so and gives him a reasonable sentence because taking into account what Ellis did is not something she is supposed to be doing(which, again, Ellis had no problem throwing out when window with his sentencing because WITCH HUNT!!!!).

House unanimously passes resolution calling for Mueller report on Trump to be made public

 

With word that it may be wrapping up soon, it makes me more curious as to the outcome. Do the crimes stop at Roger Stone? Do they go higher, even if not to Trump? 

 

You libtard snowflakes are gonna be so triggered when it turns out Mueller is Q and he locks up Crooked and the Angry Democrats.
