Great, cure cancer. Just don't push it into our daily lives. And maybe we could have a conversation about taxing our energy grid before you do anything.

I wish Rod would acknowledge his own pathology. He thought the authoritarianism overreach would definitely come from the left, but when he discovered it was coming from the right he joined in. The guy wrote a book 'Live not by lies'

Maybe. Also possible is that it revealed how many people just want to act shitty to people. What I do know is that one party went full gainer into an abyss and the other pulled up.

Five seconds of birtherism should have been enough for people. How can anyone look at these people that normalized it.

That era made me so cynical about politics that I just wanted to wash my hands of it all. Nothing like I had hoped people would discuss issues of national import. Just gross.

I just see it as a matter of both scale and type of pres power. Like subverting Congress or ordering prosecutions or mass surveillance of our people. Clintons' was during a civil lawsuit.

Well, I have seen many stories lately about how if the Dems would have done this one thing the Rs would not be this bad. Like Bork to Garland. If we want to draw such hard lines on cause and effect It leads to the hamster wheel of resentment.

Did you mean 'was not justified'. It was an abuse of the impeachment clause full stop. I saw them as an aggrieved party that thought they would be in power forever. That era was definitely a springboard for the authoritarianism of today with gov shutdowns, Star report, moral majority.

He and his wife also made the mistake of speaking up about sexual abuse. He found rot from top to bottom at his church as a result.

I'm sure you are correct, but French argues in good faith. I don't agree with many of his views, but the man has been thru the ringer. That's all.

French is not a bigot. He went to Ethiopia to adopt his daughter. I actually feel for Mr. French. He has felt the full brunt of maga hate for speaking up on various issues.

Yes, the false equivalence is the size of Texas. I would argue there were better grounds for impeaching Reagan. He subverted congress' authority and lied under oath about not remembering super top secret missions.

I am your age and so watched Cspan and read all about it. I viewed it as purely political to damage a popular president. Which was proven out by the sheer surge of popularity of Clinton post impeachment. It never had to do with official duties, which I know is not a requirement but preferred.

I can't back you on the second point. I do not see this current republican party as the type to even entertain any type of precedent that might have set. Just 'protect trump don't think lizard brain'

These people cannot speak with credibility on trump's corruption if they wave away blatant corruption within their own ranks.

“Under our system of laws, you’re still innocent until proven guilty,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “He was indicted but never went to trial — was never proven to be guilty, never proven to be innocent, because there was no trial, but the pardon overrides that. That’s how the ball bounces.”

This issue really hits me in the gut. The repudiation must be complete. Thanks for highlighting what needs to be done.
