    It’s sort of their default setting. You get used to it.

    The time to worry is when they start praising some Republican (who isn’t safely dead).

    I beg to differ, Sir. I have nothing but kind words to say for former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, a hard core Republican who nonetheless stood up to the GOP and agitated for Medicaid expansion in Arizona for the working poor. There was no incentive for me to do this - I am a human being who believes in giving credit when credit is due - even for Republicans. Rob

    I believe America has earned the right to see Trump squirm, and he certainly deserves such, if only for the harrassment of innocent foreign nationals legitimately presenting themselves for admission to the United States. Karma is not always pleasant and Trump sure has a heavy duty dose of it coming to him. I wait with anticipation for the delivery of such - how it is to be delivered who knows, I don't read the future. But being kicked to the curb (rejected from office) would at least be a start. And would destroy him, given that he is a narcissist. Rob

    I have liked many Republicans through the years while they were alive. Nevada has had 2 excellent Republican governors since I moved here.

    Personally, I think we are a long way from Bosnia.
    I worry about scattered violence resulting in deaths of US citizens - completely carried out internally in the US - should Trump indeed be ejected from office. Certainly not all - but some of his followers - especially the more rabid Second Amendment radicals - could be pushed over the edge enough to engage in illegal violent behavior against those celebrating a Trump heave-ho from office. Some - but not all Trump supporters I have run across in (Thank God) becoming more and more purple every day Arizona truly strike me as unstable. I just don't have faith that ejecting Trump from office wouldn't push some subset of such people into violent behavior. Rob

    I don’t see how that would work. How do you shame the shameless? He would simply think he had been handed another victim card to play.

    As part of the question and answer in today's impeachment trial it was revealed that the NSC is now finishing up review of the manuscript and had flagged multiple confidential and top secret details which must be resolved before authorization to publish. Their letter to that affect was dated today.

    The republicans in the senate should surely know that this too will become public and yet again make them look like fools.
    It would appear that Senator Graham was correct in suggesting use of the SCIF, otherwise they would have looked foolish allowing the Democrats to reveal top secret information for political gain.

    That is a sophomoric bit of rhetoric.

    I thought Republicans weren't allowed in the SCIF.

    Even if that had ever been true the House doesn't control the process anymore.
