Stunning? Really? Who expected this to go well?

snooggums ,

I am completely surprised that any GOP congress critters broke from the party line and voted against impeachment for reasonable reasons like a lack of any reason to impeach.

flipht ,

The stunning part is that they let it go to a vote without having whipped the necessary numbers.

They could have drawn it out with hearings, but they thought they had it in the bag and that their whole caucus was bought into the BS narrative they're trying to to drive leading into this election year.

I wonder how much of it is Chinese parts and materials being assembled in Mexico?

Still an improvement but you definitely have a point.

loki ,

would be interesting to see how much did Mexico import from China the same year.

Moments before, when House Republicans thought they had eked out the impeachment vote -- despite the defiance of three of their members -- Democratic Rep. Al Green, of Texas rolled in to the chamber in a wheelchair in hospital scrubs.

During the Mayorkas drama, Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, filed a motion to reconsider immediately after the vote failed, allowing it to be taken up again. It is likely to be scheduled when Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who is receiving cancer treatment, is able to attend.

So it’s basically a battle of who can get out of hospital the fastest? What a functional democracy.

It's a gerontocracy . That's what you get when you keep electing old fucks over and over again.

which is the way it should be. All trade should be as local as possible, everything else being even. Its funny that the one good thing people might mention from nixon turns out to be a real bad mistake.

they don't care. its about watering down the significance fo impeachment by misusing it when they are in power so they can claim appropriate use when they are not is a misuse like they do.

Danterious , in US detects Russian aircraft flying in Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has detected and tracked four Russian military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on Tuesday, according to a statement.

"The Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace. This Russian activity in the Alaska ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat," the statement said.

Why is this news then?

Clickbait.

Yeah, it's a game Russia likes to play. They send planes near the US, the US gives them an escort away.

Sounds like business as usual. Gotta love that thinly veiled fascist behavior.

I was just thinking that. Politics has been a little too much Infinite Jest for a while now, but without knowing who the sponsor is 😐 I suspect it is worse on one side, tho.

There's no bad situation you can't make worse by calling the police.

if this 'officer' had not been lethally armed for a fucking welfare check, this kid would still be alive.

"There is no active threat to the community, Columbus police said." Except the Columbus police.

"The Columbus Police Department was conducting a welfare check on a subject following a report of potential self-harm," Nebraska State Patrol said in a press release.

"We made sure that the subject did not chicken out of his threat."

They went heavy on the serve part and totally gave zero protect part.
