American Politics Impeachment: 2 fast? No, we're 2 furious

I mean, her district is literally the entire Western half of the state.

So yeah, you'd be correct.

Wow, is the entire western side of the state that low populated?

Them there's populated by the Rockies.

[Cannot think of a name]

I didn't know you were making Face in the Crowd posts. But that is one of my all time favorite movies.

Me too, Lonesome Rhodes.

Ever heard of Arthur Godfrey? In the 1950s if he said to buy something on the radio or TV then people bought it. He kinda inspired the character's creation.

If it speeds things along, I first experienced this movie in film school. I've written papers about it.

Colorado is a strange state from what I know. Denver area is politically as liberal as most of California, yet the rest of the state is like Wyoming+

I've only been to Denver, which I kind of liked but as someone who has spent his entire life at sea level it was hard to breath.

I can't remember the city I stayed in when I was in Wyoming but I remember two things, calling it a 'city' is generous and I definitely felt like I should leave at first light. I don't know what it was about that state but it really felt like it was whispering "GET. OUT."

I wonder if it'd affect me now, but I used to live somewhere higher than even Denver, so I don't know. But that's been a while. Colorado seems like a lovely state (in parts) that I'd like to visit, even if just for the Rockies.

I believe it is, like a lot of the west.

Like the entire state of Wyoming, to the north of Colorado and very similar size, is just one district.

[Corrian]

Does that include Leadville?

...who named their cities, Chuck Jones?

They have a lot of weird names, honestly.

I'm pretty sure even Eastern Washington has more than one district. But we also have some major cities on the eastern side. Spokane, Yakima, etc.

Well yeah.

"This question had the most ominous responses from Trump voters:

I asked them if they may have to use force to “save the traditional American way of life.”

64% of them agreed."

this isn't a new thing, btw

I probably saw it for the first time before you were out of grade school when B&W TVs were still fairly normal. It's as much about advertising effect on the public as it is politics. Maybe more.

Wut dem high falutin' film school profs say 'bout dis here movie?

People can keep wishing that thought all they like. Trump will not be going to jail. Biden will pardon him, to keep some sort of respect for the President's office, and to maintain peace. Tis is not wishful thinking, this is realism.

Trump himself didn't respect the presidential office, so how would one be upholding respect for the presidential office by allowing Trump to get away with his crimes scot free?

at this point one simply wishes for them to get on with it if they're going to do it and stop leaving us all in suspense, otherwise all this angst is just exhausting

1. I am older than you think, I think.
2. Definitely a lot of things that would not be the topic of the thread.

No dude. That's purely wishful thinking. Biden's not pardoning him. Pardoning Nixon is where Ford lost any chance of reelection.

If stark red lines were drawn back then in 1974 for these future presidents then we wouldn't be dealing with these Trump excesses, nor W and Dick's.

The best thing that could happen is that Trump be given a box of chocolates by Pence, then he goes on a vacation claiming he has a mild case of Corona Virus and will be indisposed for a little while. He disappears for a few weeks, makes an announcement that he is going to Ireland for a family gathering and disappears for another two weeks from the limelight.

Eventually age becomes more a state of mind... if one actually has one to waste, a la Dan Quayle Potatoe-head yadda yadda.

I'd suppose that's so.

I'm sure the Irish wouldn't be happy with that.

you mean when they botched it so badly that the president appears to have been put under de facto house arrest? no, I didn't

again: missed their window by 30 seconds


Anyway, Trump's issued a declaration of emergency for DC

I'm wondering as to the legal position of all this, he's still the President of the United States right.. if Pence is threatening him with the 25th to stay quiet he could just fire Pence. My only guess is no media is taking interviews right now or something, but it's surely not legal to be stifling a sitting president.

I wish there was at least some communication as to what the hell is going on.

[The Holy Therns]

Y'know, after four years and the horror at the Capitol, this is a bit of an incredible punchline.

I'm sorry, but what do they mean by that? (I'm not from the US)

The President cannot fire the Vice President, he’s an elected official, not an appointed one.

Is that really Kowani? on the ominous response question, I would vote for all of the above.
