oops! Taylor admits his source for his claims was that he read it in the NYT.

Scam’s over lefties. Its another nothing burger.
Nothing's over lol, posting facts I don't like from tin foil hat websites isn't going to change anything. It could actually work to do the opposite. Those alt-right sites are doing a great disservice to Trump fans, luring them into a false sense of security.
No Oz, those websites need to keep beating the drum for Trump and luring his supporters into thinking that his reelection is such a slam dunk that they needn't bother to vote.

Yeah, it's too bad that the majority of media is always saying that it's going to be a slam dunk for the Democrat, drowning out any false sense of security that the Republicans could have had from their handful of Conservative-friendly websites.

But hey, 98.5% chance of Clinton winning, amirite?

Meanwhile, the RCP approval rating aggregate for Trump just climbed two points in two weeks. Three of the 10/27-10/30 polls are about to phase out as well, which would bring the RCP average up by another 0.7 (barring the results from whatever new polls pop up). Keep up that impeachment talk, though, it's doing a LOT of good.

Collusion with Russia by Trump cannot be proven. His team, indeed his kids, wanted to collude with Russia it seems but were both incompetent and taken in by low level Russian scammers.

There is this strong, but irrelevant, theme about javankna, Eric Prince and a certain Russian oligarch.

There are three grounds for impeachment that I can see. Obstruction of justice, seeking election assistance from a foreign government (one half of the quid pro quo), and corrupt practices (the other half of the quid pro quo.)

Unfortunately there is no *** involved otherwise it would be a slam dunk.

It's just too bad that perjury is an actual crime and offending the Democrats isn't.

He is gonna get hit with at least an abuse of power charge, stopping foreign aid approved by Congress and demanding a bogus investigation into a political opponent is an actual crime. He could get hit with another obstruction charge for refusing to hand over documents, but I think John Roberts is going to compel those documents on his own once it gets to the Senate. He isn't going to buy into any of the debunked arguments that the inquiry is an unfair process.

Trump has perjured himself plenty but I don't think that line will be followed.

So it has recovered a little bit after crashing what, almost 4 points, and his disapproval is still the same? Yeah, we are fine with these results. We will always be fine with such a large negative rating.

Jesus freaking Hieronymus Christ Vic. You are almost incoherent. Like take time to organize your thoughts and arguments.

Stopping foreign aid approved by Congress and demanding a bogus investigation into a political opponent are two separate things.

There are reasons why our right wing friends pick on you but not I.

I should rewrite that for you as an example but I won't.

Having zero self awarness or anything interesting to say is the norm.

Having independent thoughts that you come up with. Not some talking point from CNN is rare.

Most people never spend enough time in self reflection to put together what they actually think.

Vic is a reactionary always reacting to other people not proactive.

Vic can't tell us what he thinks cause he doesn't think !

He is self aware. He just doesn't state his arguments well.

The first step is learning how to argue. Maybe we can get him one of those "Arguing for Dummies" books.

They aren't two separate things, they are directly related. He stopped the money because he was demanding a bogus investigation.

Not really, on their own they aren't crimes. Is it stupid foreign policy absolutely, thats all Trump does. But stopping foreign aid isn't an actual crime, pressuring another country for a bogus investigation is borderline. But when the two are connected, and a quid pro quo is clearly established the way it has been, thats when it becomes an abuse of power.

Constitutional law is a tricky thing Vic. If you actually read (which you don't) you can be impeached for almost anything.

Getting 2/3 of the Republicans to convict Trump. That is a tall order.

Hell unless he goes out and kills someone...even then still probably won't get convicted.

Seeking election assistance from a foreign source, person, corporation, or government IS A CRIME. Defined as such.

Withholding aid appropriated by congress to use as a barging chip for personal political gain IS A DIFFERENT CRIME. Corrupt practices.

Fone, I know you don't like Vic's political stances, but can you help teach him how to argue?

Well the first probably is public education didn't do him any favors.

The second problem is he isn't willing to learn.

Third problem is Vic doesn't do any research or thinking.

Fourth problem is I've run of of things that are problems.
