Based on the picture what I see is that the woman is talking reason while the guys are playing the Alpha male game.
Also, I believe that March 2019 when Nancy was using that reasoning was before the whole intel whistleblower fiasco raised it's ugly head.

"whistleblower"

Democrats have been talking impeachment from day 1. Nadler was chairman of his committee because he said he was the best for the job to impeach trump.

It wasn't a whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella is a partisan operative who coordinated with the democrats, via hearsay, to use as an excuse to finally impeach Trump since everything they made-up failed to deliver. They had to alter the whistleblower rules just to allow it and they didn't expect Trump to release the transcript like he did -- which is why Schiff read a fake one to the public.

The democrats blew their load early with this one and didn't wait to see if anything actually panned out from it -- which it didn't, like everything else they've made up.

They have nothing on Trump, despite spying on him during the campaign and well after. This is the filmiest bullshit they could whip-up as they desperately need to impeach him because the are "Concerned If We Don't Impeach This President, He Will Get Re-Elected," as well as distracting from the truth getting out about the Bidens.

They know full well this will fail in the Senate, but they are using it for political gain for reelection purposes -- which is ironic because that's what they claim Trump was doing asking about the Bidens, and it's working against them in the polls. It's also hypocritical, as Schiff used Congressional funds to try to obtain nude photos of Trump.

On the Mass Shooter 2019 yearbook,

Some people see skin color but I see a bunch of really bad hair days along with some that shave just to avoid that problem.
Some people see mainly males with just a couple of females but I see several that appear gender neutral.
Some people see violent thuggy-looking pictures but I see a couple of nerdy looking individuals.
Some people see worthless dregs of society but I see a proud person in a military uniform.
Some people see young violent offenders but I see a couple of old men.
Some people see a huge and violent segment of our society but I see 98 individuals out of several hundred million United States residents (legal or otherwise)

You missed the all important "FIASCO" reference next to whistleblower.

I am doing the Al Swearengen thing in saying "Whistleblower fiasco" while you are E. B. Farnum with your extended explanation of what I already said.
For those not understanding the reference please watch Deadwood on HBO.

To throw some more gas on your fire I heard from somebody who knows somebody that Hillary is actually the mastermind behind this second impeachment attempt as well as the first.
That woman does the poor loser thing very well.

I wish I had the ability to award more than one for that.

Spot on.

Meanwhile, I'm just Cy Tolliver, leaning back and waiting for the dust to settle.

Does this surprise you? Do you believe that this news will surprise others?



Unrelated, I have a new conspiracy theory for you: Anthony Bourdain was likely murdered by Black Cube goons as part of Weinstein's witness intimidation campaign.

Serious Question: Is using your power/position as a whip/leader of your party, and offering perks/benefits/etc or issuing threats in exchange for the vote you want, quid pro quo?

Serious Question: Is using your position as chairman of XYZ House committee, to blatantly violate House rules in order to secure the outcome that best personally benefits you, abuse of power?

Serious Question: Is using your position as chairman of XYZ House committee, to blatantly violate House rules, contempt of Congress?

I'm pretty sure living with the fact your GF was a pedophile and you paid him off is enough to commit suicide over.

Depends upon who you ask, relative to who you are asking about.

Eg: if you ask a Democrat, and the news-cycle and / or congressional impeachment commission presently contains allegations that a Republican did these things, then yes.

And vise-versa.

To be completely fair, I don't think that having consensual sex with a guy who is just shy of his 18th birthday really counts as genuine pedophilia. At least not in the same way as Philip Giordano, David Swartz, Jeffrey Patti, etc., where we're talking about the forcible rape of girls between the ages of 5-10.

I'm pretty sure living with the fact your GF was a banging an 18yo, and helping him get famous, and you paid him shush money but it got public anyway is enough to commit suicide over.

Given that the banging occurred in 2013, and Anthony & Asis didn't get together until 2017, that doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would drive most people to suicide.

New details emerge in stabbing of Barnard College student Tessa Majors

Two middle-schoolers, ages 13 and 14, were busted in the fatal stabbing of Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors during a robbery-gone-wrong in Morningside Park, law enforcement sources told The Post on Friday.

...



“He’s just a normal person,” said Sears, a food-service worker. “Any time I come by, I’m like, ‘Yo, what’s going on, Shorty?’ ”

“He just hangs out, he smokes weed, just a normal person in my eyes.

“He never seemed like a violent person. . . . He always seemed like a calm individual. He was a good kid. I don’t know how he got involved in this.”

...
see. this is normal behavior for black youth. As well as these responses to their normal behavior.

I have to admit, I don't get the joke above.






In 2012, Oklahoma state senator Ralph Shortey (R) introduced a bill outlawing "food or any product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses."

More recently, of course, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for soliciting prostitution from a 17 year old boy. "The younger the better," according to one post on Craigslist.


What is it with Republican legislators and wanting to have gay sex with child-prostitutes, and being convinced that the liberal agro-medical complex are conspiring to sprinkle fetus-meat into your Taco Bell value meal?


The fact that folks like this get elected to office is why the idea of having a King has lasted for so long.
