How about a POTUS that is encouraging officials to break the law and dangling pardons.
Thats gonna look FANTASTIC on the impeachment articles.

Yes. Early reports are that it is a continuation of a domestic dispute. Pdq. This is really close to DH’s office, in the area they go for lunch. They had a short shelter in place order.

In all honesty though, say Warren is the Prez nom. Would she pick another east coast woman, despite Georgia being so historically red? Would Harris pick her for a 2 women of color ticket? (omg omg omg this would be amazing). Or Booker? I could see both Biden and Castro picking her. Bernie will probably pick Tulsi because he's an asshole. This should prob go in the Candidate thread. OMG, a Sanders/Gabbard ticket. You take that back. Don't Beetlejuice that into existence. I know some people that's their dream ticket.

Not sure if it's been discussed but last night Lawrence O'Donnell spoke on his show about a source from Deutsche Bank that said Trump had loans co-signed by various Russian oligarchs with close ties to Putin (naturally).
Granted he did specify that this was one source, so unable to be confirmed by MSNBC at the time of airing. But if true - holy cow (and yeah, no one here is at all surprised).
Here's a good breakdown of the story.

I saw that last night, elle. With that and the Twitter thread dc2london posted on Pelosi's impeachment strategy, I'm getting (perhaps stupidly) optimistic again.

crunch or other DC area people. I've noticed that air traffic from Andrews AFB has seemed a bit higher volume than normal and I've been hearing more fighter jets over the last couple of days than usual. Is it just drills?

How can anyone be ok with that citizenship rule? I need one of these pro-Trump "he loves the military" morons to look me in the eye and explain why children of personnel serving overseas shouldn't be given automatic citizenship.

I just sent the link to a friend who H is active duty and her daughter was born overseas
there were LOTS OF SWEARS
That also means any child born abroad will not be eligible for the presidency or vice prez later on, since they will have to become naturalized I think.

I can't believe we are going back to rules like this. I was born abroad to an American service member and foreign mother. He did have to sign an affidavit saying I was his child and he would support me financially in the US, but he only had to sign that and report my birth at the consulate. I was always a US citizen it just had to be formalized. This is crazy.
Fun fact: he didn't know he had to do that so my certification of birth abroad was issued almost a year after my birth.

Will this be what turns the military GOP against him? I mean, probably not since they stuck by him when he disparaged Gold Star families, but it’s fun to pretend.

I see in the article this will apply to State and USAID people serving overseas too. My neighborhood is about to be screaming.

There was a WaPo article about this recently. It's gotten worse but nobody knows why.

This has Stephen Miller's slimy hands all over it. I guarantee that this is intended to be a way for them to pick and choose who they want to become citizens.

That is a load of horseshit. Any U.S. citizen who gives birth overseas should have their children count as citizens, but especially those serving the country.

Can that be retroactively applied to Ted Cruz?

Just got off work and spotted someone in the parking lot with a bumper sticker that reads "I don't believe the liberal media"
Wow
