    Given today news, I think impeachment by the house at 80% and acquittal by the senate at 95%.

    The needle move differently for different group, generally.

    Cult follower - absolutely nothing

    Today republican - very clear and damning hard evidence... video / audio proof , if even that

    Conservative - clear and damning evidence of high crimes

    True independent - clear evidence of crimes

    Liberal - probably already moved

    Senate - somewhere between conservative and today republican, likely more toward today republican

    That's uncalled for. I'm going to have to report this.

    I find it a bit strange that some people seem so eager to ignore what trump has done. It was like that during the run-up to Nixon's presidency blowing up. In 1972, my father and I argued about Nixon until we walked into our respective voting booths. They had them back then. Dad was an FDR Democrat and strong supporter of Jack Kennedy. Bobby's murder shocked him, but he admired Humphrey, a decent guy, and was disappointed that he lost. Yet here he was, fixing to vote for Tricky Dick, the only time he voted for a Republican for President, and there I was, telling him Nixon was a crook. I believed Woodward and Bernstein, and he couldn't imagine Nixon being that stupid. It just couldn't be true. He disliked McGovern for some reason, so there we were. Later, after Nixon resigned, he pulled me aside one day and said, "You were right. I should never have voted for that crook." It meant a lot to me at the time.

    At some point, some of you serial deniers are going to wake up and wonder, "What was I thinking?" You won't be alone.

    Trump is going to Jail.....the question is when? Is in 2021 (after his 1 term)? Is it after he is impeached? But he is going to JAIL.

    WHENEVER he is NO LONGER PRESIDENT, he is going to JAIL.

    This is an extreme interpretation. I would err on waiting until his report comes out before assuming all of this.

    Gerald Ford II. Except Ford was a much liked and much respected member of congress. Pence? More Spiro Agnew-like.

    For those looking for the "collusion" in yesterday's report:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...60ce2a8148f_story.html?utm_term=.44b9164b5b16

    The word synergy. Especially "political synergy." Another word for "collusion."
