What he had to put up with on that committee, and the coolness and firmness he's shown through the numerous interviews he's done. Schiff was the one to be the chair on that committee, when the Dems take over.

At the end, as everyone in the Empire rejoiced, I told my husband that that will be the reaction to Trump’s departure, no matter what form it takes. There will be cheering and dancing in the streets.

and he's a f&cking moran! After this crime family is brought to justice, some serious adjustments to our laws and maybe even our constitution are needed to make sure this never happens again (by someone with the intelligence to keep his/her big mouth shut).

I don't even know where to start, but

*some kind of physical and mental fitness test requirement by a completely nonpartisan party seems like a good idea.
*Mandatory tax return disclosure.
*Mandatory relinquishment of business interests.
*Mandatory congressional approval of family member appointments.
*National voting standards including option to vote by mail

to put truth to his lies. If you hear some one parrot his line about "breaking into an attorney's office," set them straight. The FBI did not "break in," they entered those offices, with a warrant in hand, issued to them by a judge who thought they had sufficient legal reason to do so.

Ted Lieu, Gavin Newsom, and of course Kamala Harris -- just to name a few

Damn phone is the problem. Odd thing to nitpick. Jeez.

Yes, I love getting to vote for some of these people, and I love that my state has given us so many rising stars.

That "last time" comment was predictive, not nitpicking. Like how many times did I spell O'Roarke before catching on? You always do that when a new name pops up. Teddy Roosevelt invented the bumper sticker at the turn of the last century just drive home the way his name was pronounced (it featured a rose next to the word "velt&quot . So I was just going with the way suddenly popular uncommon names can be tricky.

The pronoun "you" is second-person voice, and indicates speaking directly to another person, although we Americans tend to misuse it, especially when speaking. Had the first-person "I" been used instead, I would have easily understood the comment as referencing yourself. As written, your comment address me. Hence, my response, especially considering I had not noticed until your post that my phone had added an extra "l," which pissed me off considerably (at my phone). I hate typing on my phone, but do it anyway for convenience.

Anyhow... No problem, really. I am always grumpy in the early morning, and it was pre-dawn here in California.

maybe not on such a serious level. Maybe that's why he's freaking out. His brand may be finished, once and for all.

desensitize away from the DOJ policy of indicting a sitting pres. DOJ policy says nothing about not indicting Individual-1.

Uh.....the simple answer is the best.

Because maybe its because she isn't "crooked". Because there is nothing to go after. Nor a reason to.
