It’s just as likely, or more so, that Congressional Democrats are leaving the collusion investigation to the fellow who’s already doing so, and concentrating on all the other slimy stuff Trump is doing/has done.
The House vote got 13 Republicans to support the resolution, for a total of 245 in favor. To override the veto, they need 46 more votes (out of 189 no’s). Sounds a tall order.
…or not have enough discernible lemon in its Hollandaise.
From link:
No elaboration, so upon looking into it a bit more, he was jointly nominated with Kissinger for negotiating the Vietnam peace accord.They both declined because they felt peace had not yet been established.
In '64 Jean Paul Sartre,also declined.
Boris Pasternak initially accepted the prize in '58, but under pressure fromRussian authorities, he had to decline it, thanks to those oh-so-nasty ungainly dissident views in Doctor Zhivago.
I agree. I think the House hearings have been pencilled in since November, in parallel with but not depending on Mueller. My guess is that the Democrat strategy is to hold hearings and wait for Mueller. If his findings produce a tidal wave of public support for impeachment … fine. If not, Trump will be so damaged that he will be completely impotent (snerk!) for the next 2 years and he, and anyone who’s ever supported him, will be unelectable in 2020.
:smack:
THAT’S the part that I for-GOT [Steve Martin voice…again]
The 2/3 needed to override. Damn! This is why I need you guys.
Sigh. Yeah, I can see that. Teflon Don slips through.
I’ll learn to knit and start knitting the rope myself.
One wonders if anything would taint him in their eyes.
Honestly? I think macrame would be better. Yarn stretches so much, and while it might be funny to watch him bungeeing beneath the scaffold for a while, there’s always the risk that it’ll stretch so much his feet reach the ground.
It wouldn’t matter if ThelmaLou went full Madame Lafarge and we simply guillotined him.
Of course, then there might be that embarrassing moment when they lift the head up by the hair and it unravels, so that the head hits the ground while still attached.
“BEHOLD … THE HEAD … OF THE TRUMPSTER!”
“OOPS!”
They voted for a raging narcissistic crook. A man incapable of telling the truth and a moron to boot. I think I know the answer to your question. There is no way to reach them.
Basically, he’s saying that, phrasing it in the most Trump-fluffing way he can think of.
Besides that being a prediction with inadequate grounding in fact, he’s also implying “At least I hope so, so I don’t have to deal with it in the Senate, because I’m not sure I can.”
Pelosi’s answer to that, if she offered one, would be “Watch me.”
Pelosi will hold the vote, but it seems highly unlikely (barring some new development) that she’ll get more Republican’s on board. She’ll be lucky to keep the ones that voted for the original resolution.
Yeah, too many go-along votes in the House. I don’t expect any of them to find the backbone necessary to defy their party and their president to actually, you know, execute their actual duty.
Sarah the Huckster: Democrats are trying to “distract from their radical agenda,” which she claims included “making America a socialist country, killing babies after they’re born, and pushing a ‘green new deal’ that would destroy jobs and bankrupt America.”
This “Killing newborn babies” thing is getting a hell of a lot of traction, and it is easily the biggest threat to American democracy since the Civil War.
It’s one thing to lie and attack the press. That was bad enough. Just flat-out accusing common political opponents of murdering babies is bringing it to a next level, and Trumpists absolutely believe it.
They probably do believe it. Check it out, National Review raves about Trump’s CPAC speech!

Since when does National Review give Trump positive coverage? I thought they hated him.
Or is this just Kyle Smith’s opinion?
The House Intelligence Committee has hired Daniel Goldman as senior adviser and director of investigations. Goldman was second-in-command at SDNY’s organized crime unit, has prosecuted the Russian mob and has secured convictions for racketeering, murder and money laundering, including against the Genovese crime family.

I have been keeping an eye on NR op eds. They seem to have pretty much fallen in line.
Lindsay Graham hated him, too. Flip!
Not hearing the criticism out of Romney these days either. I wonder how they do it?
He called it fun. Entertainment. He called the old-glory-grope “cheerfully photogenic” :rolleyes: and complained that, although the speech was meh, the media were intent upon attacking it with the “fact check monkeys”. So, not a exactly glowing review, but a “fuck you, I liked it”.
