(658 posts)- I meant moot as it is defined in the dictionary. Take that and spin it as you please.
- Everything else you wrote is conjecture since neither you nor I can tell the future.
- If you want to keep playing the "if this," "then that" game when it comes to the midterms, that's your deal. But unless we live in different countries, last I checked, Trump is the illegitimate POTUS, put in place by the help of the Russians. Nothing has been done to safeguard the next election - the midterms. The only thing any of us should be focused on is getting out the votes. Worrying about GOP enthusiasm vs. ours is a waste of time.
- Kavanaugh will protect Trump at every turn if given the opportunity and Trump is doing irreparable damage to our institutions. None of this will even matter if all three branches of government are compromised and complicit. I'm afraid we're just about at that point.
Lastly, Agnew resigned. If this latest debacle with Kavanaugh is any indication of how he'd respond to an indictment and/or impeachment, then we're looking at a man who will double down and refuse to step down - just like Trump will. We can't base the outcome on a past era. We're here now and shit isn't normal. Please, stop pretending that precedent matters anymore. It doesn't.
