Geez people, give him a break. MSM is deliberately reporting it to sound like an actual impeachment. Half the country thinks it is.
He knows better than that. Or at least should be smart enough to find the facts.  Absent that he is willfully ignorant.

A vote to "Formalize an Impeachment Inquiry" doesn't equal a Vote For the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, but to NPR, I guess there is no difference.   You are really reaching and FAILING.
Flailing is more like it.

He just can’t be this stupid. He’s trolling. I hate feeding trolls.

The House voted to impeach?
Apparently so according to Steingar, who is bereft of facts and willfully ignorant. It must have been called the Orange Man Bad Resolution.

Biden carried out the wishes of the President, the Leader of the EU, and a whole bunch European leaders.  He influenced a foreign government, something we do all the time.  We do lots and lots of quid pro quos with foreign governments, and if that doesn't work we invade.  Usually the quid pro quo work way better, we have a bad habit of breaking things with our military.

Trump sought to use a foreign government to dig up dirt on his political rivals, a pretty big no no.
You are fucked out of your mind. If any of your students presented such willful ignorance and lack of skeptical thinking you would flunk them.

I can’t debate children.

Coups usually involve guns, gentlemen.  This is accorded by the Constitution and is lawful.  Sorry you don't like it, but someone you don't like doing something you don't like doesn't mean anyone is breaking the law.
And sometimes they don’t. What is your point?

Please let me know where a coup is lawful in the Constitution. I can’t seem to find it.

What I DO see in the Constitution is that “the House of Representatives ... shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”  Not the Speaker. Not the chairman of a committee. Not one political party to the exclusion of the other. THE HOUSE.  What is happening right now is NOT impeachment as the House has not voted on impeachment.

Sounds like my realtor when I bought my house. Shorewest realtor?
No, this is when I lived in Iowa.

And who gravitates towards not being able to have a relationship, and/or marriage with a woman?  I'm not saying all Priests are Gays and/or Pedos, but it seems to be a trend in the Priest community.
I’ve known a ton of priests who have fulfilled their vows. I also know a number who have left the priesthood to pursue marriage, including the priest who said my dads funeral mass. I respect their decision.

As for the pedos, those people are criminals whether or not they were priests, and should be imprisoned and beaten to death. I don’t think the incidence is any greater than in the general population, but it gets greater scrutiny because of who they are.

A Realtor is by LAW required to present ANY offer you give, no matter how low.  He/She must present that offer on your behalf.  No question about it.  If they refuse, they are no only being unethical, but breaking the law.
Ultimately she did. I should modify my last sentence by saying that she didn’t WANT TO present it, and tried to influence me (through my wife) not to do it. She ultimately did present it though.

I agree, although I haven't practiced Catholicism for over 40 years.  I wouldn't let the Pope define Catholicism as I wouldn't any human leader of a religion.  They should let Priests marry and allow women Priests also.  That has been part of the problem for a long, long time.
I’d be for women priests but not married ones.

The reason being that being a priest is not a profession, but a vocation, and as such you have devoted your life to serving your flock.

When you get married and have children, you are limited by the number of hours in the day that you have to divide between your family and your flock.

Biden asked them NOT to investigate a possible crime.
Trump asked them to investigate a possible crime.

Public flogging interrogation starts today.  It will be interesting.  I hope a bunch of conservatives protest like the libs did at the Kavenaugh hearings, but I don't expect it.  Conservatives are not that emotionally unstable.
Nunes did a good job calling out Schitt, but I haven’t heard anything since then. Work and all.

Who?  Ann Coulter?  I like 'em on the thin side, but not too thin.   She's too thin.  I'm such a proud sexist, misogynist.  :)
Yes, Coulter. She doesn’t do anything for me, but ymmv.

But what's a ridiculous offer when house has been on the market for a year and has been reduced by 70,000? Asking is 289,900. I'm think of asking 250,000.
Your offer would not be ridiculous at all. The original $350k price is irrelevant. You’re only 13% below the current asking price.

I’ve owned 7 homes. One thing I learned early on is that unless you are paying your agent as a buyer’s agent (which nobody does), then “your” agent ultimately works for the seller as the seller is the one that will pay them.

Still, they are interested in helping you, and you start to feel close to them as they drive you from home to home.

Then, if you find a house, and want to put in an offer, they will try to shape your offer so that it may be accepted, and so they aren’t embarrassed. The later one caught us once.  “Our” agent was shocked by an offer I was preparing to make, and she said she didn’t want to take that to the sellers agent. My wife was siding with the agent, so it was two against one. We worked through it, but I thought the agent was unethical in not doing what I asked.

Yep. This pope is different. If I hadn’t already left the Church I certainly would now.
A single Pope is no reason to leave the 2,000 year old faith. But I agree, this one is different, militant, and inconsistent with my Catholic faith. I am not a fan. He is fallible.

Ha. Well that skelator look doesn’t do anything for me at all. She needs to eat a burger every once in a while. Gross.
