I'm also not watching these hearings like I did the house hearings. I guess because the outcome feels so predetermined. But- I'm all for keeping the pressure on Trump. Something has to send that man into a heart attack. Something....
I'm just worried about Bernie being stuck in hearings and not being in Iowa. But i'm sure all that can be done is being done. I can't imagine what it's like to live in Iowa during this shit. I'd be done with people asking me who I'm voting for.
The handwringing about Bernie’s lack of fealty to the party by establishment Democrats is so tiring and disingenuous. And it’s all so deliberately timed-like they’re trying to fire up the very worst of the fringe “Bernie or bust” types so they can more easily paint his campaign as divisive/extreme and delegitimize all the *real* traction he’s gained with regular working-class voters.
It’s felt like such a long primary and it’s getting messier by the day. People are gonna be fucking burned out by the general.
I was watching the proceedings today and ugh it's so disheartening.
I did get to call my dad out on some shit today. He was going on about how due process is for everyone (from him: think Miranda rights, habeus corpus, the right to confront your accuser and the right to counsel) and it wasn't given to Trump in the House.
I fired back that those are applicable to a criminal trial which is essentially what the current Senate hearings are, not the House proceedings - so Mango Mussolini can do all the due process shit his heart desires - he just doesn't want to because he's guilty af. Then I mentioned that they're holding a trial with a corrupt jury and if a citizen pulled this shit in a court of law they'd be excused from the jury/trial immediately.
He didn't really have much to say after that - mostly just 'this doesn't matter.'
