Well, it's not all bad. Maybe the real impeachment was all the enemies we made along the way.

Nothing better than watching someone get mad on the internet especially celebrities and well known figures.

Well, you know how it goes, if you plan on trying to stab someone in the back, you'd better not fuck up. Otherwise you might actually face some consequences for it like being fired from said job.

Of course his attorney had to make some sort of effort, no matter how transparent and pathetic, at painting his client as a victim. Seriously, the political class has gotten to the point where I don't think they realize their lies are lies anymore; they just edit reality in their heads on the fly into whatever best suits their needs, like someone out of 1984. He probably honestly believes that his client is a victim in all this, and that's just depressing.
While I too would like Haley to run in 2024, she's said she's done with public office.
He should be happy that his attempted coup occurred within the US, as opposed to Saudi Arabia. Because it's not too cold in DC right now for a barbecue pit. People need to remember that as far as purging goes here in the US, it's actually pretty civil compared to other nations of the world.

People in the past can get fired with an execution or suicide?

I missed that. I thought she spoke about being done for now. I mean she published a book after she left and still gives interviews.

What's a emolument?

The Falklands are Serbian, you cowards.
The "emoluments clause" WRT the Executive Branch essentially says that the sitting President is not allowed to accept gifts from foreign governments. Back in the early Constitutional period, when small-r republican virtue was all the rage and statesmen were not expected to make money in office, there was a lot of concern about foreign dignitaries bribing the President with lavish gifts to influence diplomatic relations. It hasn't really had too many court/Constitutional challenges since it was written.
Damn, I was hoping they would lose on the merits so we can put that ridiculous interpretation of "emoluments" in the grave.Well, as if to build on that....
Appeals court hands Trump win, rules Dem lawmakers cannot sue over business payments
A federal appeals court on Friday unanimously ruled that more than 200 Democratic congressional lawmakers do not have standing to sue President Trump over allegations he violated the Emoluments Clause over foreign payments to his businesses.www.foxnews.com
As I said, this is clearly not a good week for the Democrats.
Being honest though, do you really think that as a matter of law they should have standing?
Personally, I take issue with the idea of the House or Senate (as individual bodies) having standing in most lawsuits; but that tends to be a lost cause. Congress is one branch made up of two component parts, and very few powers belong to one of them individually. So while I think that Congress should have standing (absent a handful of exceptions), I don't really think that the House or Senate individually should on most things.
Individual members of the House or Senate? Why in the world should they suddenly gain standing to assert a (relevant) injury simply because they belong to the House/Senate?
Riots in the big coastal cities more likely. The country people will be happy.

Y'ever think that Snake was prepared to give the real tape to the president considering the prez saved his life when he really didn't have to, but his callousness afterwards soured him on it? Thats how I always interpreted his going over to talk to him, then leaving disgusted.Meh, my idol is Snake Plissken more than anyone else, so make of that what you will.
