They're circling him, won't be long now ... /s

The only backfire that could feasably stop him would come from a poorly maintained rifle.

That entire article reminds me of when I was told by my very rational and intelligent friends that I was overreacting to Kavanaugh's nomination proceedings - something about how his nomination would backfire.

What a stark contrast compared to what we have to worry about now.

I still remember Libs telling us to wait on the Mueller report “Trust in the process! These things take time to play out in the legal system!”

Liberals really think fascists are going to play fair and abide by rules.

Rep Doggett (D) Texas is on MSNBC right now calling for Biden to withdraw. Jesus Fucking Christ, we’re sinking the boat ourselves.

There's a joke about Democrats. We form circular firing squads.

If Republicans were Batman they'd ally with the people who killed his parents if it meant getting what they want.

"Don't freak out, trust the process. Mueller is right now playing 5D chess while Trump is playing checkers. The wheels of justice are slow."

There are some legal experts (and personally safe liberals) that are really devoted to the idea that the system works. If there is a big change in the legal system that on its surface seems horribly harmful, we need to look on the bright side rather than question tearing the system apart, because their whole identity is built around it just being a benign system bending toward justice if you wait long enough and the worst thing that could happen would be people losing faith in the "rule of law" and disrupting the status quo.

Notice how nobody admits that Smiths decision to ask the supreme court to expedite review in the first place backfired...

No its just a prospective mountain of evidence that may or may not exist might sway the public against him 12 to 24 months from now in a 5d legal chess manuever give me a fucking break. This is just pure cope. Direct action is the only answer and everybody who tries it in earnest is just gonna get assassinated.

That depends on whether you value your own life more than you value the principles that we were led to believe America was founded on.

The discontent that led to the American Revolution didn't start overnight, but someone fired the first shot when the British were coming to confiscate the cannon that the colonists had collected.

The answer has always been to vote. This country was founded on good faith and the naive belief that people would work for the common good. Your only recourse is to make sure that people who think that way are in power.

Technically, you can go on a killing spree. But that's not exactly legal. Well, at least for us plebs.

Run for office (mostly too late at this time of year), donate to campaigns or PACs, volunteer at the polls (making sure things are on the up and up), join protests, start boycotts for companies that support fascists, call people in your area to make sure they know about deadlines and locations, volunteer to work for a campaign, or get a job in government (ensure duties are being performed by the law). That's only the stuff you can legally do.

Gotta start local and work your way up. The system is fundamentally flawed. There are many problems, but the most fixable is the voting and representation systems, which can usually be changed at the local level through referendum. Approval Voting is an easy fix with big impact and when applied to multi-winner elections you can use a proportional variant to get proportional results in the legislature. Both of these changes would reduce polarization and make it easier for third parties to get in office. With more than two parties in power, the parties have to start working together and compromising on things, instead of just obstructing until they're the majority and then jamming through partisan bullshit. But you gotta start local. Run a referendum campaign, switch your local elections to Approval, and work your way up.

This particular trial covers events that happened during his presidency. Unless she says "Fuck it!" and declares most of his actions to be unofficial (which Trump will appeal) then there's going to be some serious gaps in evidence.
