    I saw a good article today on the subject of conservative crazy: List of standard Republican conspiracy theories.

    Also saw a cartoon that puts things into accurate perspective:

    "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
    "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
    "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

        I'm honest-to-the-goddesses trying to understand this last one. If connecting the dots doesn't draw the right picture, y'all could help a guy out here. What kind of help do y'all think Schiff could have provided?

            No, a criminal investigation by any entity other than the House of Representatives. State and local [technically Federal as well but it gets silly] authorities cannot use their prerogatives to impede the presidency. So yeah, a president could shoot someone and be out of reach of local authorities, but only until he was out of office. Once he isn't president, he can be investigated and prosecuted normally.

            This prevents Mississippi's AG from prosecuting a sitting Democrat president for traffic tickets - which I wouldn't put past Mississippi or New Jersey.

              Right, because all Hillary did was use the "wrong" email. That's like saying that a guy who recklessly drove 90mph through a 20mph school zone merely went the "wrong" speed.

                Your comparison is flawed. Not to say that what hillary did was right, but AFAIK, there was a precedent for using private email servers in similar offices, so it's more like being part of a group of traffic moving through a school zone well over the speed limit and being the one that got pulled over.
                My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                  Interesting that improper handling of classified information is reduced to ‘used wrong e mail’ as though people haven’t gone to jail for ‘using the wrong e mail.’ Always entertaining to hear the latest insanity from those that don’t know anything about handling classified material. The computer system used to send classified materials is a separate system from the unclassified, internet connected, system. You don’t ‘accidentally’ use the wrong e mail unless you met to do it since the classified system isn’t internet enabled.

                    Did any of these people use private e mail to send classified material?

                      Which is an attestation of her incompetence.

                        The thing is, the computer network used for classified information is separate from those that are not. Someone had to do it on purpose, to send classified material through the unclassified network.

                          I was being a bit facetious - I don't believe she's incompetent in the usual sense of the word - but it appears that's the best defense her stooges can offer.

                            Which is an interesting defense, for someone who was interviewing for the president.

                              Well, Hillary is not POTUS and SCOTUS is not Hillary's.

                                Other than mind reading the demand was specific. Trtump was trying to get Zelensky to root out corruption in general, he was specifically asking him to go after Biden.
