Wonder if anyone would talk about how much of a failure McConnell would be if he failed to keep multiple people from his own party defecting on such a big issue, probably not

So for 50/50 we need Murkowski to vote given that Romney and Collins said they would vote in favor of witnesses. If she votes, it would be 50/50, and the Chief Justice could break the tie.
I don't see Murk putting Roberts in that position and that's ignoring her pairing up with Alexander last night which is it's own tell.
Klobuchar finishing in a surprise 2nd or strong third in Iowa would be absolutely awful for Biden.
Apparently "capital punishment" is now equivalent to "losing your side job".
Republicans (in the Senate or otherwise) haven't applied any punishment whatsoever, and have shown zero interest in doing so.
Also uh, it actually is treason and actually is punishable by death so
And what evidence to that effect do we even have?
He's probably cheap and they need some Republican idiot on the panel.
Evidence of Klob coming in 3rd or 2nd, or evidence of it being bad for Biden?
Alexander was never going to vote for witnesses. He and McConnell coordinated to be the "deciding" vote to take the pressure off the other GOP Senators because he doesn't have to face the wrath of voters ever again. He sacrificed himself for McConnell, Trump, and the rest of the corrupt GOP cover up Senators. We can't forget that the other 49+ are equally terrible people but the media is getting played by McConnell and Alexander.
This was known, people are finally catching up to this. Still some procedural participation to take place before final vote.
Bolton's "strategy" is beginning to backfire on whatever positive reputation he garnered from this.
I don't think anyone has confirmed galley proofs yet, but a major release like this has proofs printed pretty early, and we're less than two months from expected release date.
I just wish you could reason with these people. Though, I've been saying that for a long ass time, it just seems to get worse and worse.
Reviewers always get copies early and excerpts get released to the press so they can write about it before release. There's probably a copy or two that's been getting passed around publishing houses for a while now.
A galley copy, iirc, isn't a review copy, but a copy of the book that has to be formatted for publication or copy-edited. I can't remember which it is off the top of my head tho.
Something lighter to distract us from the death of democracy, Colbert and "Warren" visit Iowa. Or do they?
I wonder if Trump wants the acquittal to be the day of the SoTU for maximum effect or something
Edit: Bolton has made his last ditch-effort leak
Yeah, entire thing's political theatre on both ends - Republicans and Trump to "prove" that he's innocent and being unfairly persecuted in a "witch-hunt", Democrats to potentially hurt GOP chances in suburban areas where these sort of things tend to matter more. We'll see in Nov where people have landed.
The past decade has shown the pundit class to be stuck in some weirdo alternative dimension where the GOP has been following the rules the past two decades instead of relying entirely on being cynically pragmatic corporatists since 1994.Chris Cillizza out here amazed that Republicans are able to fast-track acquittal with zero witnesses.
Which city should we protest in to make a difference? DC? NYC? LA? Knoxville, TN?
I think demonstrations are extremely useful for a lot of reasons, and I have attended many, but that's just not really how it works with the Senate. Lisa Murkowski cares more about polling & phone calls from her constituents, not whether the heavily Democratic population of DC/MD/VA shows up outside her office.
That's why Biden has to fight him to win some voters back.
There's no evidence that she's absolutely going to finish in 2nd or 3rd, but she's definitely rising in Ioawa, and the new ARG poll has her in 3rd right behind Biden.
If the pundit class is somehow right about the KLOBBERING MACHINE I'll eat toast without butter.
Does this mean that Cipollone had first hand knowledge of the QPQ the whole time he was arguing against it?
Really a "it was me the whole time" dot gif.
Really a "it was me the whole time" dot gif.
OTTUMWA, IA—As part of his effort to reinvigorate the coalition that once put Barack Obama in the White House, presidential candidate Joe Biden issued a moving plea for party unity when he told a Democratic voter "You're a piece of shit and I hope everyone like you dies," reports confirmed Thursday. "Look here, pal, fuck you and fuck anybody who thinks like you," the former vice president said to a town hall participant in what political experts have hailed as a rousing call for Democrats, independents, and even moderate Republicans to join together in harmony and overcome the divisiveness and rancor that have characterized the Trump era.
So is Era gonna ban people for pirating Boltons's book or nah
Mostly joking.
Don't worry, I got an early copy on my old Kindle and there's nothing interesting in there.
I visited Kentucky on a road trip a few years ago and I was frankly astonished at the number of gun shops.
I've been to plenty of other gun-friendly states (like Indiana next door) but I never saw anything like that.
Nothing to worry about re the coronavirus, Donald is on it. He's hard at work, scratch that nonsense, his schedule shows him leaving for Mar-a-lago by 4pm for the usual weekend of grifting.
