[Anyone willing to offer a guess as to the date on which the Senate will deliver its verdict?  I'll even take your MAB numbers to see who has the most accurate view of when this kabuki performance will end.  gjr]

    You know, when you’re on a religious mission to save the world any behavior is acceptable.
    For anyone needing a reading assignment, this book isn’t too bad.

    The first section nicely builds a case for ‘progressives’ as post-Protestant mainline Protestants.

    “Translation, we don’t think we can frickin win this one with the socialist dem clown car occupants.”
    Sadly, it’s more than that. In their own words, the Dem Leadership cannot trust the voting public, Republican or Democrat. They, and only they, know what is best for you. In fact, they (the Dem Leadership, Lamestream media, Deep State) are terrified shitless of the voting public….as well they should be. It’s what the Founder’s desired for the ones who are our servants.

    Its ok for a dude to beat up women because he says he is one, ask the victims if they agree with that. –
    Fox, a male to female transgender athlete, destroyed Erika Newsome in a Coral Gables, FL, MMA fight during which she “secured a grip on Newsome’s head… With her hands gripping the back of Newsome’s skull, she delivered a massive knee, bringing her leg up while pulling her opponent’s head down. The blow landed on Newsome’s chin and dropped her, unconscious, face-first on the mat.” That was Newsome’s last pro fight.
    But to Outsports, a male-bodied person beating a female bodied person unconscious constitutes bravery. Not only has Fox beat up women in the ring, won every match but one, but has weathered online attacks from the likes of Joe Rogan. I think we can all agree that getting back online after Joe Rogan has knocked you down is far braver than facing another male-bodied of your own muscle mass and size in a fight.
    Fox also beat Tamikka Brents, giving her a concussion and breaking 7 orbital bones. But that’s super brave, too, taking an unfair, male-bodied advantage and using it to give female-bodied opponents brain injuries.

    “Just looking at State and Fed election counts for Nevada County for the last two election cycles and it’s practically all Dem. Hillary for Pres for example Newsom for Gov” follow by “Practically all of the elections in Nevada County not practically all of the votes in those elections wend Democratic. Goodness you’re dense.”
    Aha, you don’t mean that the count is ‘practically all’, but that ‘practically all the elections’ went a bare majority. I see. So 50%+1 on all elections is a clear landslide.
    Being a newsman and all, I’d think you could write more clearly. I know that it’s rude to peer into peoples’ sex lives, but perhaps a good start would be to use both hands on the keyboard when typing your delightful little screeds.

    To be fair, he’s probably not as stupid as he comes off here.
    What I can’t stand is the fact that he’s a tagger. Being of advanced age, it’s a lot easier to simply kick back and randomly vandalize someone else’s blog.
    I’m always sad when Frisch stomps off, with the inevitable trailing insults concerning the way he makes a living and his hiring practices. Of the local liberals, he at least puts up something of a fight. The other guys just come off as a combination of a kid with a spray can and an angry Emily Litella.

    No……but still stupid enough.
    The discussions used to be better but nothing was ever resolved and by the end of every thread it was nothing but invective!
    I generally jump straight to the insults these days……huge time saver.

    Heard him on the radio.
    He has served one purpose in my ongoing education though. After reading hundreds of ultra-partisan yet trivial posts by Paul here, it’s made me distrust media public figures even more. They’ll stand on their two hind legs and pretend an even handed statement, but it’s all BS. It’s a local version (very local) of the insanity you can see on twitter.
    It takes some real work to act like Brian Lamb.

    Here Emery, some “news” for your from CNN.
    “Lockhart tweeted: “Overheard convo between two Republican Senators who only watch Fox News. “is this stuff real? I haven’t heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we’re up shit’s creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence”.
    “CNN political analyst Joe Lockhart created fake news in real time during President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate on Wednesday, falsely claiming that House Democrats were swaying Senate Republican opinions.”

    CNN poll breakdown. But they don’t tell us how many California and NY people. The poll is a crock anyway and shows us why Paul Emery is so off on his love of these things.
    https://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2020/images/01/22/rel1b.-.2020.pdf
    A total of 1,156adults,including an oversample of 150adults living in 15 battleground states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin, were interviewed by telephonenationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones.Oversampled stateshave been weighted to represent their proper share of the adult population.Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. Among the entire sample, 32% described themselves as Democrats, 26% described themselves as Republicans, and 42% described themselves as independents or members of another party.All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national Census figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage.Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of +/-3.4percentage points. For the sample of 1,051registered voters,it is +/-3.6percentage points. For the subset of 500Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents who are registered to vote, it is +/-5.3percentage points.For the subset of 509adults living in the 15 battleground states, it is +/-5.4percentage points.Interviews were conducted among a representative sample of the adult population, age 18 or older, of the United States. Members of demographic groups not shown in the published crosstabs are represented in the results for each question in the poll. Crosstabs on the pages that follow only include results for subgroups with a minimum n=125 unweighted cases. Results for subgroups with fewer than n=125 unweighted cases are not displayed and instead are denoted with “SN” because samples of that size carry larger margins of sampling error and can be too small to be projectable with confidence to their true values in the populati

    Well, if you don’t have Lanny Davis handy or have Senator Reed sitting in the well of the Senate (with complete immunity) declaring that he knows Mitt Romney did not pay his taxes and has proof,, it only makes sense that they dust off someone from the Obama pile and bring in Joe Lockhart.
    Susan Rice and Sally Yeats are laying low.
