Rod Serling's should-have-been intro from the tRump Twilight Zone episode that also should-have-been...

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 25, 2019:

The Onion and other satirical publications are having a hard enough time trying to keep up with Trump and his "administration". I can't imagine how difficult it would be for Serling to come up with things weirder or scarier.

Alexander Hamilton in the 1787 Const.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 25, 2019:

To put it charitably, Hamilton was somewhat shortsighted. His observation that, "they cannot receive any advantage by a change," obviously did not take into account changes in the tax laws, among other things.

Someone please take his Sharpie away

“'We have smoking gun sitting on top of smoking gun at this point. And there is no alternative story,' Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland said Wednesday." Just wait until they get their hands on the secure server in the White House. That won't be a smoking gun. It will be a flaming arsenal.

Sanders and Warren are each good, but they would not make a good ticket. Two old white people from the northeast doesn't make sense politically.

Mexican Senate Set to Pass Bill to Legalize Marijuana in Next Few Days

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 16, 2019:

If it is legal in Mexico and legal in California, any attempt by US federal authorities to stop it at the border could be grounds for a suit against the US at the WTO. Likewise Canada and Washington.

A spokesman for the agency told the BBC that BFRC "provides a safe and humane environment for families as they go through the immigration process". WTF??? These people are not trying to immigrate. They should be returned to Canada or the UK under 8 USC 1229c.

Electoral College Overwhelmingly Favors Republicans, Abolishing Entire System Only Remedy: Study

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 14, 2019:

The founding fathers established the Electoral College to serve as a defense against a demagogue becoming President. I believe that at this point they would be far more than ready to pull the plug on that failed experiment.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 12, 2019:

Unfortunately there is a non-compete clause in his contract, so no CNN until that expires. I just hope his non-compete clause is as good as the one I once negotiated. I got a year off with pay.

Obstruction of Impeachment!! Trump administration orders ambassador at center of Ukraine scandal ...

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 8, 2019:

The term you are looking for is not "Obstruction of Impeachment." That is not found anywhere in any of the US Codes. The term is "18 U.S. Code § 1505. Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees." That's worth 5 years in federal prison. Throw in "18 U.S. Code § 371. Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud United States" and you can add another 5 years in federal prison. Trump's orders are a blatant violation of the law and anyone obeying them is risking ten years in federal prison.

Reminder: Trump Has a Massive Conflict of Interest in Turkey – Mother Jones

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 8, 2019:

Interesting insight. He has licensed his name to be used on the towers. I wonder if there is a clause in the license that requires him to be involved in the business personally. Could that be why he has not turned the business over to his children, or put it into a blind trust?

I have some positive words for all of you.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 7, 2019:

Not trying to be picky here, but I feel a need to correct one point. You said: "I firmly believe that OJ did kill Nicole Brown. He won the criminal case, but he lost the civil case. He was found guilty, but only had to pay money. That's rare because you have to provide the same evidence for both cases." A favorable verdict in a civil lawsuit only requires a preponderance of the evidence. A criminal conviction requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Interesting idea! But many people will be severely pissed off if he doesn't spend any time in ...

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 7, 2019:

The possibility of Trump avoiding time in prison is small and shrinking. His smartest move at this point would be to take six months or a year in Club Fed in exchange for no prosecution at the state level. Otherwise there is a very high probability that he will die in a NY State Prison.

There have been some really great words used in the last week.

Moscow Mitch should be expelled from the Senate for being such a spineless eunuch. [msn.]

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 6, 2019:

"All of you know your Constitution," McConnell says in the video. "The way that impeachment stops is with a Senate majority with me as majority leader." Umm. No, Mitch. The Constitution doesn't even mention the Majority Leader. The Rules of the Senate don't mention the Majority Leader, either. Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the trial, and the Presiding Officer has the responsibility for any procedural issues. You, Mitch, get nothing to say until the roll is called for your single very public vote on each article. So, until then, STFU and sit down.

Give Barnes & Noble a medal for this one.

I am watching everyday how trump is SELF IMPEACHING.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 5, 2019:

McCornhole does not have the votes necessary to change the Rules of the Senate, so the only say he will have once this reaches the Senate is his one vote on each article of impeachment. The trial in the Senate is presided over by the Chief Justice, John Roberts. Any procedural matters are under the control of the Presiding Officer of the Senate. That would normally be the VP, but if Pence recuses himself (for an obvious conflict of interest) it would be the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Currently that is Chuck Grassley of Iowa. This should bode well for a thorough and fair trial.

Day dreaming of fried tRump

Bad boy, bad boy what ya gonna do when they come for you?

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 5, 2019:

What makes you think Pence won't go first? He's not so insane as to stick it out. If he sees a way to cut a deal in exchange for resigning (a la Agnew, who got prison time, but a seriously reduced sentence), I wouldn't be surprised to see him take it.

Just this morning I am finding out that Trump openly asked China to investigate the Bidens.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 4, 2019:

It wasn't just that he asked China to investigate the Bidens. The worst part is he blatantly stated the quid pro quo, "if you want a better trade deal..."

Just saw an article in "The Nation" stating that the orange wonder is doing all he can to bring down...

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 4, 2019:

Yes, the line of succession is Vice President, and then Speaker of the House. If either Pence or Trump is gone, the President has the duty to nominate a new Vice President. That person must then be approved by a majority vote in each house of Congress. I think that Pelosi should inform the President and Bitch McCornhole that they will vote on the VP nominee when the Senate votes on Merrick Garland. Pelosi for President 2019!

House GOP Minority Leader calls for suspension of impeachment citing concerns about ‘integrity’...

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 4, 2019:

John Mitchell, Nixon's AG did 19 months in federal prison. Obstructing a Congressional investigation is a violation of 18 USC 1505. That's five years per count. Add another 5 years per count for 18 USC 371, conspiracy to violate federal law, and Billie pretty much has his retirement planned with free room and board until he dies.

Sorry for the profanity within the image.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 3, 2019:

I hope there is no violence when Trump leaves office, but if there are idiots who insist on a violent response, I will have to conclude that the herd needs thinning.

This is only appropriate for this group on days ending in "y".

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 30, 2019:

The Rules of the Senate require the trial and McConnell doesn't have the votes to change the rules. Once the trial starts, Chief Justice Roberts, not McConnell, will be in charge.

I joined this group to ask a question.

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 30, 2019:

To answer this question requires an understanding of history. As much as Americans like to deny it, there has always been a degree of class warfare in this country. In August of 1971 the "monied interests", as FDR called them, declared war on the middle and lower classes with the publication of the Powell Memo. The battle plan laid out in that memo has been followed very effectively since then. The result has been a gutting of the middle class, and the concurrent feeling of economic insecurity. Add to this the control of well over 90% of the media by six corporations and it is easy to see how the right, with "think tanks" funded by the Koch brothers and their ilk have managed to hijack the conversation and move it to the right. This climate has brought about the rise of partisan politics over principle that has made Trump possible.
