Do you believe any of this will stick? Mind you the question is not whether the investigation will turn up evidence of bad acts...but just whether it will stick. I don't think the public cares about people's records or what they say in this cycle. This election is just about riding one or the other jackass over the finish line no matter what they say.

 

I don't agree with Bernie on the economy even a little but I'm pulling for him to complete the hail mary.

 

It won't stick, because vagina.

Lazy argument.

 

It won't stick because blame doesn't stick today unless it's something titillating. John Edwards's love child. Weiner (never doesn't make me laugh like Butthead) dick pics.

In today's world, Nixon rides out the impeachment process with ease. Accountability for actions and words died somewhere after Nixon and the surgeons called it after the Saddam war/WMD zero accountability debacle. Since then, no one takes the blame and no one takes a fall unless it's for texting dick pics.

 

Unless Hillary was selling nuclear secrets to Bin Laden by email, she's not going to get in trouble.

 

Doubtful, the sort of thing that Nixon was impeached for would still stand today. It doesn't get too much more politically salacious than having your guys break into DNC headquarters for information, then go to great lengths in covering it up and then deciding to obstruct and not turn over the tapes. Not to mention all the other **** they dug up on him during that time period.

Lazy country. A great many people won't take any charges seriously, because they'll just claim sexism.

 

Ergo, they won't stick, because vagina.

Only if a Republican did it. If a Democrat did it, the talking heads would be in full force to deflect.

How is that "tipping the scales?"

 

JMO which means nothing

 

The thought of having Clinton or Trump as President for the next 4 years has me pretty bummed out right now. :cry:

Hoping it destroys the union, honestly. This country is beyond repair. We need a balkanization.

Sanders speaking now post Obama meeting...

 

...And, he's not dropping out. 44 must not have offered him enough.

He drew Bernie a red line to withdraw his candidacy.

 

**** just got real.

Starting a war of WMDs that were never found based on intel that was sketchy was pretty bad.

 

Nixon had a lot of people around him who took the fall. He could have ridden it out given today's apathy. You just persevere to the next news cycle and all is well. Benghazi lasted what...2 weeks of drama and then forgotten.

No, Benghazi has not been forgotten. Only the pure agenda driven progressives and their apologists have tried to bury it. Which one are you?

Hurray, socialism.

 

Near-daily food riots and looting have the whole region alarmed. The leftist government of Nicolás Maduro has neutered the opposition-controlled National Assembly. He refuses to free political prisoners, or contemplate a recall referendum on his presidency this year (as the constitution allows and the opposition demands). And he has traded broadsides with Luis Almagro, the secretary-general of the Organisation of American States, who last month invoked the OAS’s Democratic Charter; that could lead to Venezuela’s suspension from the bloc. At the OAS meeting in Santo Domingo this week, John Kerry, America’s secretary of state, agreed with his Venezuelan counterpart to start bilateral talks—on restoring ambassadors (gone since Hugo Chávez, Mr Maduro’s predecessor, banished the American envoy eight years ago), and the rather thornier internal situation. The OAS Permanent Council will discuss Venezuela again on June 23rd, but it is not clear it has the stomach to suspend Mr Maduro’s regime.

Socialism's proponents will say that you just don't get it. The reason socialism has never worked is because the right people have never tried it.

Venezuela's socialism worked for a time because of oil revenue. It's collapsing because the revenue has dried up.

 

In other words: Venesuela's the answer to the oft-asked question "What happens when you run out of other people's money?"

VIN SCULLY CALLS SOCIALISM FOUL

 

Vin Scully retires at the end of this season, his sixty-seventh year doing what nobody has ever done better. Among other things, he has made some classic calls in the course of a glorious broadcasting career. He may not have ever made a better one than he did during Friday night’s Dodgers-Brewers game (video below): “

 

Socialism, failing to work as it always does. This time in Venezuela. You talk about giving everybody something free and all of a sudden, there’s no food to eat. And who do you think is the richest person in Venezuela? The daughter of Hugo Chavez. Hello.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

As usual, Mr. Scully goes to the heart of the matter with perfect concision.

And it kind of says something about the pace of a Baseball game when the announcer can toss in a random political soliloquy between pitches
