people just can't IGNORE Mensch if you don't find her helpful or reliable? Do we really need daily (sometimes hourly) threads about this woman? I follow her on twitter, takes what she posts with a grain of salt and forget about it - what the fuck is the big deal about it? She's getting ZERO attention from the MSM so why does she get everyone's knickers in a knot here?

Okay then melman Jun 2017 #117

Can you translate this into news? The detail is incredible. Unlike the "he" vagueness referenced. Not Ruth Jun 2017 #122

Being found guilty through the impeachment process is a means to void the election tirebiter Jun 2017 #22

Then why not just say they are going to be impeached? The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2017 #24

According her it's already happening melman Jun 2017 #31

Somehow I think the WaPo or the NYT might have picked up on that. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2017 #39

I know melman Jun 2017 #40

Except that Texas Representative Green issued articles of impeachment last month. LaydeeBug Jun 2017 #85

Rep. Green has not issued articles of impeachment, he only called for it. tammywammy Jun 2017 #92

When they really want to void something, they use the "null and void" stamp. onenote Jun 2017 #74

"Hear" her, Pnw. She has spoken, and not about impeachment. Hortensis Jun 2017 #70
