I’m not sure on whether this thing will move or not, but I do think it has legs that prior controversies did not. I'm thinking this just takes the place of Russiagate to keep the conversation away from real structural change. | ||

I'm real interested in how you got to Biden being in trouble for Trump asking Ukraine to investigate his son. If that's legal(which it isn't) then it opens up a real can of worms into Ivanka and Donald Jr, who undoubtedly have far more skeletons in their closets. | ||

I'm just wondering how many articles of impeachment are they going to try to take to vote for the greater house as only a simple majority is needed there. Given how long they sat on this i imagine it was so that they can fully drag as much stuff into the forefront as possible so that Trump can't possibly come out clean from there even if it never fully gets realized. Given the level of ignorance of the average voter it's not necessarily a bad idea to make sure that Trump supporters get actually informed of what he's been doing outside of the echo chambers. | ||

The way Pelosi went into this makes me think all she wants is a deal like the one they gave Trump on avoiding the debt ceiling until 2021. | ||

There was an interesting discussion on tv a few months ago. Where someone postulated that we might be at the end of the historical period we call "enlightenment" which did start around 1800. This period which is characterised by a great believe in science,the scientific method and the objective "truth" seems to come to an end. When it comes to this aspect the world is in a much worse shape then say 50 years ago. Science is still making great progress but other forces driven by monetary incentives and interests are starting to overshadow science more and more. It is something to worry about for those who look at very long term development. Could it be true ? Is this the end of the enlightenment period in history and are we at the doorsteps of a period of regression similar to that in the early midievel ages (aka dark ages)? | ||

It’s that much of a stretch for you? Were you around for the incriminating Biden videos a few months ago where he admitted blackmailing Ukraine officials? 1:30 in : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KCF9My1vBP4 Washington post goes into it more with this article called ‘ The whistleblower complaint may end up being worse for Joe Biden than Trump‘.It’s best not to fight it, just accept we are witnessing the beginning of the end of Biden’s campaign. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/24/how-whistleblower-complaint-will-affect-election/?outputType=amp&utm_source=reddit.com Biden is a fragile front-runner and the whole matter involving his son’s foreign business dealings not only raises unflattering questions but provides plenty of reminders about his life in the swamp. Trump, on the other hand, is exceptionally durable with his base, to say nothing of the fact that his entire presidency has practically been defined by his ability to outlive Democratic “witch hunts.” | ||
