Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

Sub notes:

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

This is what I am talking about. You have this way of looking at all things that you can't get away from.
What about all the others (D's and R's) that are in the exact same situation but didn't vote that way (helps with reelection)?
There are primaries and generals. Sometimes with conflicting metrics.

The R's would cry no matter which way this went down. The D's want to brand him in a way he couldn't tweet himself out of it.
After all this fighting we are still left with it nobody even cares if he abused his power. All they care about is their side winning. In that situation we all lose.
Had there have been a normal process without a self proclaimed timeline I believe that if there really was QPQ some Rs would defect. Think Susan Colans.

#2 there still are normal Rs that would be open to convincing.

On the first point, i think your mistaken, the Executive  branch is never subservient to the legislative branch (even though this Congress thinks otherwise, as evidenced by article 2 of impeachment) and as such only when the house of representatives is censuring its own, does the member have to stand and listen......
I thought I read it somewhere specifically about POTUS but I may be wrong.
Quote from: CountValentine on December 19, 2019, 10:45:14 AM
So they voted that way because they are worried about losing reelection?
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner
Quote from: aygart on December 19, 2019, 10:49:24 AM
a big part of it. Gabbard is trying to place herself as the middle of the road. Loks to me like she is succeeding in showing that she can't do anything. How can a president be indecisive like this?
The only reason why a censure was being considered was for the Ds in Red districts..

Gabbard didn't vote?
Quote from: aygart on December 19, 2019, 10:52:16 AM
So what was the purpose of passing the articles of impeachment?
To save democracy in this country

You said it was in part because of there reelection chances they voted that way. Others are basically in the same situation (R's and D's) but didn't vote that way. Stop trying to deflect and answer the question!!!

Each one needs to weigh the balance between the primary and the general as well as general party support and funding as well as donations from outside the district etc. Once each one has a different balance and also a different judgment of how to deal with it they will come to different conclusions. I am not answering the question I am saying that the whole premise on which the question was based is wrong.

You made the statement that it was based on reelection chances without weighting all the things you just mentioned. Others are in the exact same situations but you refuse to answer why they didn't vote that way because it blows your preconceived notion out of the water.

You can't separate your preconceived notions from logical thinking. You would make a terrible juror!!!

How do you know what I did or didn't weigh? There are no others in the exact same situation! There are maybe 5-10 votes in the entire house which could not have been predicted with 99% certainty on the first day we heard about the whistleblower.

This how you always try and wiggle out. Just like you failed miserably trying to change the meaning of "=".

At least Mitch is being honest that he won't be impartial. We could use some of that around here.  :)

How many votes do either of you believe we're casted "without" Political Considerations?
