I TOLD Y'ALL

Impeachment is not a legal proceeding. McConnell can dispatch the whole thing with one pound of the gavel in the space of an afternoon.

The latest Mayor Pete birther joke debacle reminds me of the "Has Justine Landed Yet" incident, and admittedly mistakes I also had to learn not to make 20 years ago.

I didn't have language for it until Ta-nehisi Coates put it this way:

It's not our joke.

White people might think we are signalling our allyship by piling onto mockery of racists, validating the complaints of the black community, and sometimes it's okay, but there's a line - the line between criticizing the offenders and reinforcing the original aggression.

Audience and context matter too. Justine's friends and peers knew what she meant and how she meant it, but it didn't matter to the Twitter audience at large. She lost her job and ended up just staying in Africa I think.

I support Nancy's decision to open impeachment proceedings, full stop. If she thought it was best for Democrats, it's what's best for Democrats.

That said, I'd like to point out that millions of people are NOT glued to their TVs watching hearings, and the few who are don't care.
No one is saying activists like us aren't watching.

But the main argument bolstering the impeachment frenzy leading up to Nancy's decision was that it would be just like Nixon- millions of Americans would watch the hearings and see the light about Trump. That hasn't happened.
All of you arguing "ratings don't matter" have moved the goal post to a whole different field.

The charge against Nancy was that millions of Americans would be glued to their TVs watching gavel to gavel coverage and change their minds if only she would capitulate.

They aren't.

I am openly weeping over the Richard Jewell movie trailer.

As a country we do horrible things to innocent people. Groups of people, yes, but also individuals - Monica Lewinsky, Gary Condit, Amanda Knox, the list goes on...

Richard Jewell is a hero.

I'm so glad this is a movie.
To anyone who wants to respond that you FEEL like Gary Condit or Amanda Knox did it PROBABLY, you have nothing to base this on besides media reports so don't even try. You'll get a public shaming and a big fat block.

You people are 100% of the problem. Plus you're going to hell.
It begins...

Go ahead and tell us about how she didn't "look remorseful" enough...

1. New #QAnon today is related to ousted Ukraine Ambassador #Yovanovitch having ordered our country's State Dept. to spy on our own American journalists and Trump allies.
2. You see, "America is no longer for sale."
Because, "It’s been a long time since we’ve had a non-corrupt President who works on behalf of the American people and not himself." #QAnon #Q

3. #QAnon "You are witnessing the largest ‘organized’ disinformation campaign to ever be perpetuated on the public.
Trust yourself.
Be free in your thoughts.

This is a serious question about future presidents and deserves some thought. @YAppelbaum @fordm

Assume we're talking about a party-line vote (plus Amash) in the House, followed by a straight party vote or worse in the Senate. That's what it looks like now. (1/ )
@YAppelbaum @fordm Could hearings and investigation change that? Perhaps! But irrelevant, since those should happen with or without an impeachment context.* I think it's unlikely that the actual drafting and debate over articles of impeachment would change minds.
@YAppelbaum @fordm *Yes, there are arguments that impeachment hearings would be different. That wasn't the case in 1973-1974; I'm not convinced that it would be different now.

So let's stipulate a party-line impeachment and acquittal, which is I think what the advocates are in fact stipulating.
