I support impeachment. The President has committed many high crimes. From welcoming election interference to obstruction of justice to emoluments violations to putting children in cages, you barely scratch the surface of his many and varied crimes. All that said, I find much of the commentary in favor of impeachment to make some logical leaps. It’s like:
Impeachment
???
Removal
Or
Impeachment hearings
???
Real oversight
But the Senate isn’t going to remove him. It needs 2/3 of the Senate, so almost 20 Republicans if all Democrats support removal. I don’t think they would even have a trial (McConnell’s super power is not doing things), but smarter people than me say he would have to. And the Trump administration would certainly obstruct an impeachment investigation as much as any other oversight.
This isn’t a reason not to impeach him: If anything it’s more of a reason. The House of Representatives should be on the record that what he did was impeachable. I just hope we know what comes next.

Allz I know is all of the subsidies, discounts, and rebates paid off my solar install expenditures last year, so going forward I’m being paid by utilities taxes charged to YLB and her kids for the system energy production from now on.
The check I received last year was for a bit more than $2000. That’s unearned income inequality.

Was it un-American when Obama did nothing more than issue a strongly-worded letter, Red?
Obama’s lack of response may have emboldened Russia election meddling: former officials
Victoria Nuland, a top State Department official dealing with Russia under Obama, told the Senate intelligence committee that Moscow seemed to have slowed its influence campaign after Obama made “a stern and personal warning” to Russian President Vladimir Putin in September 2016.
But she said the campaign seemed to accelerate during October, using social media platforms to spread false narratives as the Nov. 8 Election Day approached.
“I think it’s probably the case that the Russians expected deterrent measures and didn’t see them, and so felt they could keep pushing,” Nuland said.

I hate to say this, but work is for suckers. The idea that you get ahead in this country by working hard is sheer nonsense, and never more so than now. You get ahead by owning the company, not working for what someone else is willing to pay you. And exactly how much of that Republican tax cut did workers get?

@10 “Was it un-American when Obama did nothing more than issue a strongly-worded letter, Red?”

Roger Rabbit spews:
I would venture that if anything doesn’t work in Russia, that’s probably because it was made by Russians, not because of anything Trump did.
See, e.g., the TU-144, which crashed twice and flew of grand total of 55 scheduled passenger flights in its entire career. From what I’ve heard, their air conditioners and chainsaws aren’t much better. Not to mention their nuclear power plants.
See, that’s the thing, doc — we can’t really do anything to the Russians that they haven’t done to themselves. It makes them kind of invulnerable to retaliation.
A better strategy would seem to be protecting ourselves from them. But McConnell’s response was to block legislation with that aim, and leave use wide open to Russian interference with our 2020 election. Which, of course, is exactly what the GOP wants.
You’re not only a dumbfuck, you’re an unpatriotic dumbfuck.
RedReformed spews:
More importantly, The Times article asked:
“The question now is whether placing the equivalent of land mines in a foreign power network is the right way to deter Russia. While it parallels Cold War nuclear strategy, it also enshrines power grids as a legitimate target.”
So now, the Russians are justified by wiping out our power grid and election results during 2020. Mitch smiles.

@20 Proof? Hell, they don’t bother with facts, much less proof. GOPers make things up as they go along, and Doctor Dumbfuck is one of ’em.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@20 “Without knowing Rabbit, he seems knows everything about him”
I’m a greedy capitalist just like he is. He doesn’t want to admit we’re kindred spirits. Or that I’m as successful at it as he is.
In fact, doc and I are a lot alike. We’re both highly educated professionals. We both squander our free time posting on HA. We both fuck farm animals. The main difference is that for me, it comes naturally; I fuck rabbits. Whereas most people would consider a man fucking horses, sheep, goats, and chickens a bit strange.
And, of course, I’m a Democrat, war veteran, and patriot, while he’s … well, he’s constantly reminding us what he is, so I don’t really need to say anything about that.

Marvin Oswaldo Escobar-Orellana, 31, made an initial court appearance Thursday in Des Moines, where the judge set his bond at $3 million cash and scheduled his next hearing for July 29. He is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and hasn’t entered a plea.
Escobar-Orellana was arrested Tuesday night in the fatal shootings of 29-year-old Rossibeth Flores-Rodriguez and her two children, 11-year-old Grecia Daniela Alvarado-Flores and 5-year-old Ever Jose Mejia-Flores.

Undocumented Pediatrician Jose Eduardo Monarca;
THOUSAND OAKS, CA (KTLA) – A 64-year-old man was re-arrested Tuesday in connection with sexually assaulting children in Washington after already being in custody for crimes that occurred in Thousand Oaks, officials said Tuesday.
In December, detectives in the Thousand Oaks Police Department received information from Mountlake Terrace Police Department in Washington about a sexual assault that occurred in the Ventura County city in 2004 or 2005, when the victims were between 10 and 14 years old.
In May, while detectives were investigating Jose Eduardo Monarca, sexual assault allegations were made against him involving children in Thousand Oaks who were 4 and10 years old, officials said. The alleged molestation occurred between 2014 and 2019.
Monarca was eventually arrested and charged with one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child, five counts of penetration by a foreign object, four counts of lewd acts with a child under 14, one count of oral copulation with a child over 14 and lewd acts with a child by force, and lewd acts with a child over 14 years old.
He was re-arrested on Tuesday in connection with the allegations made in Washington and he faces additional charges including two counts of lewd acts upon a child, oral copulation of a child under 14 years old, and continuous sexual abuse of a child. He arrived in the U.S. from El Salvador in the mid 90s and began living with the first victim’s family until 2000 and again briefly in 2007 or 2008.
