    Lol. Come on. Maduro is not going to do anything.

      Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        I was watching that while She Who Must Be Obeyed listened in. After it was finished, I said Trump probably regards spousal infidelity as a plus and that, sadly, because I can't truthfully put that on my resume I'm probably disqualified from serving in the Trump administration. She said, "Well, there's still time." So I have a green light!

            I find these hearings to be performative nonsense.

              It's not a serious proceeding because this is not a serious nominee. The fact that Republicans go along with it because ::checks notes:: Marquayne Mullin's wife could throw him in prison if she testified is shameful.

              Compare this to the confirmation hearing of James Mattis: https://www.youtube.com/live/8f2ROIP...NnMNvjuDfd4Qcb

              Do you think the Senate in 2017 is somehow less political then it is today?

                It is utterly depressing that 4 years later, a litmus test for anyone who wants to be in Trump's administration is to not publicly state that Biden won the election, let alone fairly.

                  I think he's going to be good. He's gotten a lot more substantive throughout his tenure in the Senate. Quite a contrast with his peers in Cruz, Paul, and Lee.

                    I think they know they are safe saying stuff like that, they know that we have finally realized that it's not worth the time, effort or money it would take.

His supporters don't care about Puerto Rico and think Puerto Ricans in the US should be deported.
                      I understand that Trump doesn't personally care for Puerto Rico but if he allows a territory/commonwealth of the US be militarily invaded and taken over by another country and he does nothing, it would absolutely be Constitional grounds for impeachment. I would also look at it as a legitimate justification to go after Maduro and institute a regime change.

                            Trump complaining about the flag at half-staff is dumb. But Biden could have extended an olive branch by ordering the flags back to full staff even for Inauguration Day. But instead, now we have the Speaker of the House and Republican governors sending out a dissenting flag order for the day. Now it becomes very political and divisive where it could have been a means of coming together.

                              Nothing but a loyalty test. On the one hand, you have the tradition of honoring the dead for the full amount of time, even if that time overlaps with an inauguration. (See, for example, Nixon's 2nd Inaugural:

                              On the other hand, you have the Orange Menace ordering Mandatory Fun on Inauguration Day. The crowds will cheer or else.

                                I am politically closer to you than Moliere, but I agree with him. In a town full of low-lifes, I don’t need to hear one politician berate someone else for infidelity. There was so much more to hit Hegseth with than what Kaine did. Some senators did it well
