    I mean, impeachment is a political tool, and I never felt like it had meaning ever since I was a child and they had to debate what the word “is” means with Saxophone Bill. Congress has been a completely different world devoid of connection to the real world for too long now. Back in the day if Trump had said that shit a southern Democrat would have beat the fuck out of him in the middle of congress and caved his head half in with their walking stick. Obviously we need to get back to that time, get some Darwin going in the house and senate so you are not likely to live to 90 doing it.

    Or anything at this point. How long until American’s can seek asylum in Europe?

      That was shortly before we had a Civil War, so I don’t think that’s an era we should hope to recreate nowadays.

        Seems nothing the Republicans want to do is worth fighting for the vast majority. I wonder what would actually get people to stand up and fight back.

          When the iPhones and fast food are gone, people will stand up and fight back. Until then it seems most people can’t be bothered to care.
