    You really think this bit of impotent political theater is going to change anything? At all? That's some funny shit. It's an utterly empty distraction and you're falling for it. Hook, line, and sinker.

    I have little hope that the Senate will do the right thing and remove Trump from office. On the other hand, I don't think this is a completely pointless exercise. If anything, it will likely just show the world that Republicans have turned into a bunch of treasonous stooges. History will judge them accordingly.

      The world don't get to vote in US elections, so it's still pointless.

        No, "the world" doesn't get to vote in our elections. But they will form an opinion about us and act accordingly. Do you really care so little about how our national reputation is being dragged through the mud?

          No, I care even less. Being liked means nothing whatsoever to me.

            B-b-b-but you were telling me the other day that you have several adoring women that you can call on at a moment's notice for a booty call! Or do you regularly have sex with women you don't like? Or are all your booty calls strictly pay to play? Enquiring minds want to know.

              Let's be real here; this guy's hand gets six separate headaches--one in the palm, one in each finger--out of sheer self-defense whenever he thinks of whacking off. If he were to make like that guy in Japan who wanted to marry his PSP or something, the console would spontaneously wipe itself, right down to blowing every last fuse in its own EEPROM. We never hear about his parents because they went back in time and retroactively aborted *themselves* rather than live with the shame of having produced, well, *that.*

    This -- a classic Trump ploy. My question is, what is going on that we are missing (due to the distraction)?

    + Is Rocket Man (N. Korea) about to launch a missile across the Pacific, landing near Hawaii or the west coast of USA? If memory serves, he already launched one high enough to show that he's got the range.

    + Is Putin going to move further into former USSR territory?

    + ???

      You get that Trump ain't the one doing the distracting here, yes? Republicans ain't the ones pushing for impeachment on hearsay and vague accusations. Mind you, I'm sure he's happy for the pointless but quite effective distraction as well.

        If you truly believe what you wrote then you are pretty dumb. Not in all things, you apparently have enough smarts to write functioning code, but that seems to make you feel vastly more superior than you are.

    Kinda figured this was your stance, I think you might have slipped up once or twice before but not sure. All your protests aside you really are just a silly tribal fool playing at being an enlightened centrist.

    So sad what has happened to you poor schmucks.

      You're absolute shit at reading people. You might want to stick to what they actually say. Go have some delicious peach cobbler to distract you from your hurting butt.

        You mean my anger at traitorous assholes ignoring proven crimes? All you're doing here is proving you have principles and would rather be a tribal idiot.

        Not ok buzzy boy, but you keep pretending if it keeps you from a mental breakdown.

          Fairyland called, they want their magic glasses that let you see whatever you want, regardless of what's in front of your face, back.

            "Fairyland called, they want their magic glasses that let you see whatever you want, regardless of what's in front of your face, back."

            Why is it always projection with you assholes? You refuse to see reality and then accuse others of doing so.

            The only reply possible now is "ok boomer"
