    We're in the Twilight Zone now. Most anything is possible.

    Honestly, as blatantly partisan and goofy as this stunt is... if this pushes Joe to the back of the pack in the Dem nomination race, all the better, if you ask me.

    What we don't need is another, half-senile, out-of-touch dude in power. Have had enough of that in my lifetime. And I really don't accept that Biden is the only one with a shot at beating Trump.

    The amazing Graham transformation continues. It’s as if someone has something on him or his loved one.

    You have more faith in Roberts than I.

    If one thing is certain, there is a lot of dirt on all of 'em.

    I looked at archived video of the Clinton impeachment and I didn't see any special power the chief justice held besides being the judge of the trial in the Senate.

    The 180 of Lindsey Graham is upsetting.

    I was rooting for him and Kasich back in 2016. How crazy 3 years can change things.

    I've been trying to figure that out. What is it that the Bidens have supposedly done? Hunter worked at a place that had problems two years prior to his arrival.

    Please, Graham, get right on that.

    Stupid trump. The best route wouldve been to wait until joe won the nomination then go after the quid pro quo stuff. Bad strategy.

    Depressing...but think about what an intelligent narcissist would achieve. Checks and balances can't be just an 11th grade course learned in HS.

    Can you imagine if Trump was forced to testify?

    Pretty much anything is allowed. We've had 2 impeachment trials ever so...not a lot of precedent.

    The double edged sword though is that Biden can refuse to appear, like the entirety of the Trump cabal in the House proceeding. They can try to forcibly compel, but they (and by they, I mean John Roberts) would have to logically compel all the far more material Trump figures (Rudy, PimpUSAout, Pence, Johnson, Bolton...and Trump) to show up. That's an obvious risk.

    Unless of course Roberts reveals himself as a true Sith. And we know that's the team he came from..so that's a nonzero probability

    Does this mean Ukraine will finally get their White House visit?

    Joe Biden admitted publicly to withholding aid until the prosecutor investigating his son's company was removed.

    Correct.

    Joe Biden enforced US foreign policy.
