.@michelleinbklyn also has premonitions of Sanders debacle nytimes.com/2020/01/27/opi…
@michelleinbklyn Democrats won in 2018 because tens of millions of college-educated women with jobs, mortgages, health insurance, and histories of voting Republican could no longer abide Trump. In 2020, they will still have jobs, mortgages, health insurance, & histories of voting Republican ...
@michelleinbklyn Anyway, relinking to my piece on Sanders' high-risk candidacy theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I remember the Clinton impeachment well, and I remember that when the Senate voted ... it all felt OVER. Final. Settled. The issue had been litigated, the voters had spoken in Nov 1998, and the accusers had to own themselves beaten. This fight ... it's not even half time
10 of 55 Republican senators voted to acquit Clinton on the perjury count in 1999. 5 of 55 Republicans voted to acquit on the obstruction count. The lead promoter of impeachment in the House, Newt GIngrich, had resigned as Speaker and quit the House by January 1999.
By January 1999, the 2000 presidential contest had already begun. The immediate front-runner, George W. Bush, distanced himself from Clinton impeachment. In the first candidates' debate in which Bush took part, impeachment went unmentioned. All over. nytimes.com/2000/01/27/us/…

Donald Trump denied collusion with Russia in the 2016 election. But his lawyers argued yesterday that if Trump had only been the incumbent president, rather than the challenger, he would have had a perfect right to collude with Russia, China, Iran or really anybody -al Qaida even
The Republican argument yesterday -"If a president sincerely believes his/her re-election is good for the country, then whatever s/he does to achieve re-election becomes legal" - is the George Costanza on lying, repurposed. "If you believe it, it's not a crime."
The argument implies by the way that the more of a deranged egomaniac a president is, the more rights s/he has to commit crimes. A president with a modest sense of self would not believe that his/her re-election justifies extortion. But since Trump does believe it, it's OK!

I didn't watch the Dershowitz argument in real time. Catching up belatedly and ... OMG at minute 2:12, Dershowitz opens by associating himself with a lawyer who defended Andrew Johnson, Benjamin Curtis. Dershowitz must have Wikipedia'ed Curtis briefly to assure himself ...
... that Curtis was not on the wrong side of the Civil War. Curtis had been on US Supreme Court in 1850s, dissented from Dred Scott. Whew! Safe - right?

But if Dershowitz or his research assistant had done just a few minutes' more work, they would have learned ...
... that the core of Curtis' defense of Johnson was that an impeachment must depend on the hearing of evidence! Some excerpts from his argument, red highlighting by me ...

White women & Black women bought into gender politics. Hillary was supposed to win for her sex, not her politics or ability. Clearly she had no ability, no charisma, & no empathy for other women other than #Democrats Her big reveal happened when she called
2/ #Republicans “Deplorable.” We loved it. We wore it as a Badge of Honor. She couldn’t overcome her deliberate misuse & destruction of government property, or her deliberate mishandling of to secret documents. She proved incapable at the job. The only decent thing Jim Comey
3/ ever did was downplay her ignorant actions & report her “careless” disregard for agents in the field by putting their lives in danger. THAT raised critical questions about #Hillary ‘s ability, regardless of gender. She was unfit for office, man or woman. And she was ALWAYS

🤪INSANITY: We are considering keeping a president in ofc for 2 years & waiting until his term is over to indict?

🙃We will have a criminal as President of the United States of America!

🤣Our country will become more of an international laughing stock!

nytimes.com/2018/03/26/opi…
⛳️Trump will continue to waste government funds playing golf, running for president 2020 and trashing #Democrats with lies!

🔥Corrupt GOP Senate (who have caused the whole mess) will block all legislation & turn a blind eye to his felonious shenanigans!

dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…
💣Oh, and the felonies Trump "directed" helped him get into office illegally in the first place!

📈Our country will go further into debt!

📉The stock market will continue to fall!

👉Of course there is no precedent for this; the situation is ludicrous!

1/x @NRA and stuff.... Piece of shit advocacy group, BUT, the blasts against them are fukin idiotic, peoplealways grab for the easy moral authority, #Rubio shud resign cos he has no intellectual ability to take their miney and still possess any civic virtu
2/x @nra but now, having said that, can we dig deeper beyond the NRA, the american left has NO Democratic Party opposition to war. the fake Wakanda domiciled liberals and progressives have been manipulated to allies of the military-industrial-complex
3/x #nra Democrats who wore kente cloth and/or boycotted the State of the Union cannot find their voices to object to America’s bombing of Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Somalia. hmmm
