Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

Oh yes. Great entertainment. I especially loved the ineptness of the republicans, attacking him rather than asking actual questions.

Why would they ask HIM questions?

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I did, nothing revealed IMO I didn't already suspect.

Do I believe him? Yes.
Do I feel sorry for him? No.

I feel bad for his kids and wife.

Well...if they were interested in finding stuff out.

But you're right - their only interest is in trying to provide cover.

It's funny how republics collapse.

I'm along the same lines- less sorry for the wife though, more sorry for the kids. Hopefully they have good support systems.

I do believe him though.

If the president you helped get elected is suspected of having done multiple illegal things, I assumed that you'd want to learn what you can from the person who supposedly carried out some of these illegal things, if only to try to prove him wrong.

I would have thought this to be fairly obvious, Al. You'd make a terrible lawyer.

I think what he says is plausible and most likely true, and entirely in line with what we know about the subject. Plus, the paperwork he brought with him is pretty damning evidence. If Trump isn't impeached soon, by some miracle, he will be charged the day he leaves office. He's going to wear an orange jumpsuit regardless.

Nah. It's the same as politics normally is. It is pretty rare for someone to break partisan lines,
even when a crime has been committed.

Wearing a bright orange jumpsuit has the flattering effect of making Trump's skin look a lot less orange. Quite flattering.

I get that you hate him, it's just that he annoys people. So I like him.
