It's also the highest number in favour of impeachment from the President's own party in American history, so we've got to look at it that way too.

That’s a good way to look at it.

Apparently, as someone explained to me when I was yelling at the clock, 15 minutes is the minimum time open to vote but they can take as much time as they want or something. Which Iffrean is right, the clock should count up if that's the case.

Talking head on ABC invokes the specter of 'primary battles'. I hope they're all primaried for their cowardice and equivocation. They won't be but alas. Good luck getting those sweet sweet corporate donations, though.

Apparently there are Republicans who support impeachment but aren't voting for it because they're afraid of violence.

So, letting terrorists get their way. Fucking cowards. Not a single Democrat is catering to pressure from terrorists.

I see, so it's not like the uncompromising God of death that is an American football clock, it's a polite suggestion like a (rest of the world) football clock.

As a former youth soccer referee, there was an uncompromising god of death clock, it was just in my hand. The most satisfying I did was as a 17 year old teen look the adult in that just told me that his clock still had thirty seconds on it in the eye and say, "Mine ran out and it's the only one that counts."

I don't care. I'm sure Democrats are getting the same and they're not catering to terrorist pressure.

True, but the equation hasn't changed for the Democrats, they have always been under threat from the MAGA fanatics.
