So Tulsi's explanation is that she thought what Trump did was impeachable, except it was not bad enough to impeach, except she abhors partisanship so...present? She's so full of shit.

How is it impeachable but not bad enough to impeach? Does not compute. What a dipshit. She said it was bad...but that the process was too partisan. So why not just vote no? Because she is the ultimate fence sitter - wants the best of both worlds. Except she doesn’t understand that that’s not how people work and this is disqualifying for both sides. 🤷🏻♀️

I am feeling a bit tin hatty, but I am genuinely scared about what T will do in the coming months. I know he is mad about being impeached but also emboldened knowing not a single R broke ranks and no one will in the Senate either. It is legitimately making me sweaty and nauseous when I think about it. He is going to assume he can do absolutely anything he wants, and he isn't wrong.
Does this go here? Maybe it goes in the impeachment thread. I don't know.

Where will they draw the line, when he re-writes the constitution? Its just...scary.

From my understanding, there are no double jeopardy type of laws when it comes to impeachment. But, they would have to tread pretty lightly because that would appear pretty vindictive. It would make some people happy but would probably piss off a lot more people. I can't even think about if he gets re-elected. It will be the very death of this country as we know it. 4 more years to stack the courts? Holy fuck that would be awful, to say the least.

I don't have much hope for the election, not because I don't think the majority of our population wants him out (though a frighteningly large amt of ppl will vote for him) - but that the election isn't fair and all of the things I'm sure he and Rs are doing to influence it. I mean, if our elections continue to be rigged - where is there hope?
Sorry for the spiral...

@icedtea I'm so sorry. I can't even wrap my head around it. I hope they kept all the kids in the dark about it since they didn't have to hide.
😭😭 Just typing that out.

@icedtea, I am so so sorry. I can't even imagine. How terrifying.
My 4 year old told me what they do at daycare during "drills" (intruder specifically) and I lost it. They did one yesterday and my 2 year old's teacher told me he was so scared and crying hysterically. I just don't understand why this is the way our country is now. It is heartbreaking.

The Twitter response calling him Reek* of the Week is spot on.
*Game of Thrones reference for those who are unfamiliar

Yes it's starting now on PBS (and I think CNN is simulcasting it? Which is weird). 2 of my 3 are asleep but I'm watching. I live in a Super Tuesday state so I feel like I have to figure out who I'm going to vote for fairly soon.

I don't think I've ever come to a primary debate without already having a favorite. I feel like an alien observing the humans lol.
