Ah, i haven’t read any of that. At some point i put p&e on ignore for my peace of mind. I sometimes go looking for a thread on one topic or another, and follow it. But i often miss new p&e threads. ---

Nah, there have been a few times when **Gatopescado** has been a thoughtless jackass, shitting on threads or posts with one of his asinine one-lners that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic and are just intended to be insulting or hurtful. But this thread isn’t about him. I have the fucker on ignore and would just as soon forget that he exists. ---

Does DrDipshit have any reading for comprehension skills? I made a thread on impeachment and specifically have said throughout that to ignore impeachment as a political tool - just have high crimes and misdemeanors been committed. So DrDumbfuck felt it necessary to add this > [@Has Kristi Noem commited impeachable offenses?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-kristi-noem-commited-impeachable-offenses/1019830/13): > > Politically? When the Dems take the House- sure. No shit DrDumbass. Here’s your “That’s Obvious” award and why I said in the thread _multiple times_ don’t consider that, just did Noem commit any crimes. But I guess he had to prove how smart he is knowing something everyone else knows. ---

Aaaaaand he has doubled-down in the thread because of course he has. > [@Has Kristi Noem commited impeachable offenses?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-kristi-noem-commited-impeachable-offenses/1019830/17): > > So, the definition of what a High Crimes and Misdemeanors is entirely and completely a POLITICAL decision by the House of Representatives, see the Clinton Impeachment attempt. > > So, you are asking a question that cannot be answered except in political terms- and the political definition is “whatever the House defines it as” (and if the Senate concurs for any removal, etc).

Just skimming that thread, these are the bits that I found the most amusing: > [@Has Kristi Noem commited impeachable offenses?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-kristi-noem-commited-impeachable-offenses/1019830/13): > > As the Founding Father thought? Probably not. I mean for example contempt of court isnt a true crime. Apparently DrDerp is a lawyer now, and I mean, c’mon, he’s right, contempt of court isn’t a **true** crime, right guys? There aren’t enough rolleyes on the internet. Not satisfied with limiting the spread of his ignorance, he doubled down with: > [@Has Kristi Noem commited impeachable offenses?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-kristi-noem-commited-impeachable-offenses/1019830/17): > > > [@Has Kristi Noem commited impeachable offenses?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-kristi-noem-commited-impeachable-offenses/1019830/13): > > > > As the Founding Father thought? Probably not. I mean for example contempt of court isnt a true crime. > > We dont know exactly what they meant, altho we do know that a "High crime’ was one where the death penalty could be imposed. Yes, not only is contempt of court not a crime in DrDerp’s universe, even though “we don’t know exactly what they meant” apparently DrDerp does know, a “High Crime” was one where the death penalty was a potential punishment. Only, you know, he’s completely wrong on that as well. ---

His subsequent response to being called for a cite on the High Crimes thing by PhillyGuy reads exactly like a ChatGPT response when you tell it its first answer is full of shit. Just a mish-mash of “I was thinking of \”, and a Google dump ---

Now tripling down, contradicting himself, and answering the question he wants to answer and not the one actually asked. His latest premise in that Congressmen in 1803 & Thomas Jefferson himself didn’t know what the Founding Fathers intended when writing the Constitution less than 15 years earlier but some modern website that he agrees with (or maybe disagrees with, I’m not sure) does. ---

How could Thomas Jefferson not know? I know he wasn’t part of the writing of the Constitution, but as one of the Founding Fathers, I’d imagine he’d have had a pretty good idea. Tiresome. ---

I could see where that was going. Japan wasn’t doin’ nothing wrong and Roosevelt the Imperialist forced them to attack us. I’m sure at some point The Rape of Nanking and Unit 731 will be described as unfounded Western propaganda. Count me out of that thread. ---

Not to defend his stance on his particular topic of predilection, but that thread in particular is not veering towards any discussion of the Pacific War. Some people have brought it up, and Dr Deth wrote it would be a good topic elsewhere, but otherwise it is a fairly anondine thread that I am finding interesting. Their contribution to it is minimal. `//i\\` [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-drdeth/933971.md?page=123) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-drdeth/933971.md?page=125)
