You made your preference clear Bruce

Multi -dimensional chess.  But not what it’s about, but what it has become since the mid-90’s. (I have hardly watched any of the proceedings but made a point of watching Turley. He could have been Ken Starr representing Newt Gingrich). 

I’ve been against the actual removal by impeachment from the beginning of Denison’s term.  Would have been pleased if his Cabinet, back when it was staffed by relatively competent individuals who had actually been confirmed had chosen to remove him and that had gotten through the courts. 

What it has become now at this date 3/4 of the way through his term is a spontaneous political campaign. Coming from both directions.  Best that has been tried to stop it was Turley going “all Rodney King” an hour or so ago.  Train has left the station. Senate won’t vote to remove. We proceed to an election..if Denison allows us to have one, that is.

"48 perilously close to President Pence. A coup and emergency election would be OK, but spare us impeachment "

You wanted both Trump AND Pence removed, by lead to the head I suppose, and an emergency election.  Spin all you want, what you mean is as obvious as what you are.

What I said on Day one

it'll play like All the King's Men, with The Folk flooding off the dirt farms and piney woods to surrond the Capital and thwart impeachment.

Well, in a virtual sense anyway.

Willie (fictional Huey Long) was impeachable by any standard other than that of his populist base.

Curiously enough though, Huey Long was a real populist- not a turbocharger of neoliberal upward wealth redistribution.

Although Robert Penn Warren was like a lot of southern writers of his time. He could write racism 100% out of the story. In the entirety of ATKM there's one mention of a negro out in a cotton field as he drove The Boss down one of his new highways. In 1930s Louisiana.

Pretty brilliant of The Real Deep State.

By turning the GOP into a racist/nativist/cultural reactionary party, they can obtain the backing of The Folk while still sucking all the money upward.

Yes, what he said in the same time frame as Bruce's declaration, was that it was war.   Not a disagreement between countrymen to be settled at the ballot box, but a war where lies were perfectly acceptable.    Debating a liar is a fools game,  heap them with contempt and derision.   These people do not have the foresight to see where this will all lead.   Just cause they are a little rumpsore.

You've absorbed your Dennison lessons well.

Lie, then accuse your opponent of lying.

Interesting how easily cult leaders manage to take over their followers' minds.

Next time I've got a minute I'll find the post where you said it. When people declare their desire to end the Republic I don't forget, ask Bruce.

The semantics on that are absolutely taking effect nowhere, and I sadly concur with nox on your ultimate transformation, but wondering if you’ve seen what he said yesterday evening?

When discussing the upshot of what has become glaringly obvious regarding knowledge of the withholding of military aid he mentioned that his Committee is still looking into “the full scope of those who were complicit.”

From you and nox are praise in my ears.   I hope you live long enough to see what your ilk bring about.

Your problem is not with the posters on this board. Your problem is Robert Mueller and Adam Schiff who promised and promised and promised some more to give you over whelming bipartisan evidence, mountains of evidence, to remove Trump from office and they have given you nothing. And yet you follow them around sniffing their backside with the hopes they will f  i  n  a  l  l  y come through and prove how right you were all along. They make a fool of you over and over again. Sad beyond pathetic.
