So I think there's a 0.0% chance the Senate rules for his removal, but I think you still have to go through this entire process and make those GOP senators wear their No vote for the rest of their lives

Lol if you think voters apinions are changing due to this you need a reality check man. This is only galvanizing his base who already gives no fucks what any other politicians say. He says this is a witch hunt and his base is rallying behind him, as they have before, with blinders on. Even the supporters his policies have fucked are still behind him “because he knows what he’s doing and sometimes it gets harder before it gets better” I think Trump support is deceptively fragile despite being incredibly stable so far. It is based entirely on group identity rather than considered ideas (obviously). i.e. "I am x type of person and I should support Trump because other people like me support him." Should cracks appear in that framework, the whole thing could easily collapse quickly and completely. It's a Ponzi scheme where Republicans are mortgaging the future credibility of their party for short-term gains, and it's sustained for the moment by a total refusal to admit fault for anything at any time. I'm inclined for now to agree that Trump supporters have not been at all swayed by this scandal, but I also think making confident predictions about this sort of thing is really stupid. If a relatively small faction of Trump supporters and/or Republican officials were to break away, it could easily cause a cascading effect once people realize their own personal/group identity does not need to be entirely wrapped up around Trump any longer. Your analysis is spot on, I just don’t think this is the issue that’s gonna cause that fracturing. He ran on being the scapegoat/underdog/loose cannon. Asking the Ukrainians to investigate Biden, when his base is still crying about Hillary, is not going to shake them. His dealing are shady and illegal, but they haven’t broken the moral code he and his base are working under and this is an easy situation for him to continue playing “woe is me, I’m under attack for nothing” and have the base eat it up. Any failing of the party to support him is going to result in a lost election for those who break away if anything at all. You’d have to see someone like Mitch changing their tune and openly opposing him for the party to switch it up. They’re hoping trump is just an anomaly and they aren’t willing to risk their careers taking a stand.

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters." One of only two honest things he's said during this entire trainwreck. The other being "I don't stand by anything."

"I don't stand by anything" is actually a great quote, I just hate that it comes from Trump.

We all want the exact same shit. Some of us have a little hope for it, some of us don’t. But I think, to LobDog’s point, we all want to see this move forward, if for nothing other than how his loyalists will be painted by history.

What did Biden do in China that they should investigate? I don’t look at the news for a few hours and I feel like I’ve missed so much.

Welp Warren is doomed now Not to victim shame, but homie's face looks like it got hit with a hot shovel AND he lives his life with vin diesel's name tattooed on him. Is this really how wealthy women spend their time and money?

I don’t care if it takes another 25 years, but I’m celebrating when Trump finally kicks the bucket. The world will be living like Book of Eli with Denzel, but I’m still gonna dance.

Waiting for the next round of reporting when it turns out it's actually a left-wing group performing a satire of how the contemporary right wing operates

Celebrated when Reagan and H.W. kicked it. Trump might actually call for a party if the fallout from radiation hasn't killed me.

Imagine being in an Iraqi wedding and a gay guy with an m16 murders your entire family. At least he was gay.

It bums me out that some of you have to deal with conservative parents.
When the impeachment news broke my mom texted me "this is encouraging, but I'd rather he just die, a lot cleaner"
