I’ve never felt less respect for the press treating this impeachment like it’s a real story. Trump acquitted? What’s the next big drama? Will baseball be played next spring?

And goddamn how much lead is in the water in Iowa?

When I hear people saying this whole impeachment was pointless because our political system is too corrupt to kick out a member of their own party as if it's a reason not to hold an impeachment rather than a reason to shoot all of them in the head and hang their bodies from street lights as a warning to the people we elect to replace them I wonder just once more how stupid the human race really is.

Trump is just a blunt instrument that the GOP are forced to use in battle with great reluctance. He gets the job done, but he's not really what they want. The effort they'd have to put in to get rid of him, cover it up and subsequently replace him with Pence is evidently out of scope.

DESUS & MERO brown bag it with 2020 presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg and discuss being in the Navy and the Space Force. Is Jupiter plotting against us!?

Quote:

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont raised $25 million in January, his campaign said on Thursday, a staggering sum that gives him an enviable financial advantage at a crucial moment in the Democratic primary race.

The $25 million haul is more money than any other candidate raised in any full quarter during 2019, including several presidential hopefuls who hold the big-dollar fund-raisers that Mr. Sanders forgoes. The announcement is the latest sign of an epochal change in money in politics, with candidates now able to finance a top-tier national campaign fueled by masses of donors giving a steady stream of small amounts.
