    Schiff and Dems underemphasize that Trump's Ukraine policy was not just pro-Trump & leveraging US taxpayer dollars, but pro-Putin & leveraging Russian military might & the long-standing DJT-Vlad "special relationship."

    Transitivity axiom: If C is mindlessly subservient to B, who is mindlessly subservient to A, then C is mindlessly subservient to A. (Sorry, as an econ prof i argued that axioms should be explicit, so just reverting to type here.)

    Maybe you're gonna claim that those Senators are only mindlessly subservient to Donald Trump. But then, Trump himself ... as is overwhelmingly obvious, w no real doubt possible. You gonna say these Senators don't notice that? It's the meta level of "mindless subservience"

    Time was when a "red" was someone who was mindlessly subservient to a Russian dictator. Lo, it still means that, and we've got a whole Senate majority of that color and tendency! Whoever picked today's color labels was more prescient than we realized.

    It appears that will soon be swearing falsely that he will be impartial, accompanied by most GOP colleagues. Scandal? What can We the People do, beyond shouting "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"? That's better than nothing at least.

    American elections should be decided by the American people, not by the Russian Government. Retweet if you agree!

    It's "fun" in a professional sense to think about playing Iran's hand here. What would YOU do? (Oops, excess nostalgia for my RAND/DoD days intrudes here. Better shut up.)

    Iran now has the op to "think", if they are capable of that. I don't know whether to hope that they won't (tho poss v dangerous in the SR) or that they will (poss even more dangerous in the LR).

    Not typical at all from our blustery but generally timid little POTUS. Whoever sold that dumb one to him has a lot to answer for, and we can hope that it will be TO HIM.

    Category problem: If that was a "drone strike", it will be hard for Iran to respond. If it was a "strategy of assassination", maybe not. Or maybe it just a "challenge". Dumb choice, in my view.

    “No matter how heated things get, no matter how divisive our primary, when it comes to Fall 2020, I will set aside any personal hard feelings, campaign hard for the Democratic nominee, and Vote Blue No Matter Who because TRUMP MUST GO.” RT if you make this pledge.

    I advocate for a Grand Alliance of the more-or-less sentient Earthlings, who would rather NOT have their progeny and heritage sacrificed to Fossil Fuel-driven "Progress." It's the biggest and best cause, and every supporter is welcome, without limit of any kind.

    Do you want to talk about slavery and the American Revolution? This letter from "humanity" to John Adams in January 1776 is extraordinary: "Are we claeming freedom fighting for it and practes slavery. God forbid."

    The more I think about it, I think inherited wealth is per se illegitimate and ought to be banned to the greatest extent possible. I just don't see why people have a right to great wealth they had no part whatsoever in earning or creating.

    Absurd extremes in contempt for the facts are already standard GOP practice; Orwell himself could not imagine such crazy stuff. The rhetorical opportunities there are under exploited by Dems, who want to talk abt Medicare while the Constitution burns.

    . So either GOP Senators abstain or vote NO on the resolution, embarrassing Lindsay, or they vote YES and set themselves up for cover-up charges. That problem is additional to the problem of being anti-impeachment.

    Isn't this proposed resolution the best thing for Dems in, uh, a couple days? His colleagues, already worried about voting NO on removal, now get the schedule moved up: they can worry about NO on the inquiry! Great news.

    I think I do hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet, four at a time, down the gangplank to the shore. I see the slight swaying of the hawsers, reflecting the impact of even more such feet, though individually invisible and inaudible. And I rejoice for the cause of liberty.
