It’s no longer about the election anyway, since the recent one was an obvious backlash. It’s about a normal democratic process & punishing trump for ignoring it. Also, like McCarthy, people became intimidated from expressing their opinions, so they voted heavy against trump to try and preserve their rights.

Completely bogus. In the last couple of pages I've talked about how the Democrats let blue collar people down and blamed Bernie Sanders and those in the Democrat Party who talk of free college and said that was one of the reasons Trump won the election, even taking the blame off of "the establishment" and placing it firmly at the feet of the Democrat Party.
Anyone who thinks I am a partisan sheep doesn't read enough or carefully enough.
Flagpole,
You agree with me on about 90% of issues. You definitely are partisan. But don't look at that as a bad thing. There is nothing wrong with being partisan. Some people like this guy in recent years have tried to label it as something bad. It isn't.

No one except for DC/NY/California democrats care.
And perhaps Roger Stone and his family (if he has one).

He probably still knows how to spell "devastated," though.
That said: Though it wouldn't surprise me one bit if this wily weasel beats all charges, it does my heart good to see him arrested. ("LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!") To my mind, this one result justifies all the investigations.

Having lived in many parts of this country (and overseas), and coming from a working-class background, I can tell you that Bernie would almost certainly have lost the popular vote--handily--as well as the electoral. Yes, broad swaths of the electorate were not ready to vote for a woman; even more were (and are) not ready to vote for an atheist and/or socialist and/or Jew.
Not a chance.

Figured Flagpole would be the first to point out the misspelling but I guess he decided to sleep in.
The swamp is indeed being drained
FIVE FULL WEEKS of the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN . . . hang in there, everybody!

I actually agree with your reasoning which is why I didn't vote for Bernie in the primary.
But I thought the Dem candidate would be facing Rubio or Jeb, not Trump.
With Trump there, it became about personality and likability.
Bernie was more broadly likable than Trump while hate for Hillary brought some out to vote that otherwise wouldn't have cared about Bernie.
There always was great dislike of Trump.
Roger Stone and everyone else thought he was being indicted a year and a half ago.
That sure did take a while.
Does that mean 5 more years before the case is made to indict or impeach Trump?

It's possible no one else cares, but indictment describes Stone's activities as conduit between Trump Campaign and WikiLeaks.

The wheels of justice move slowly, but not that slowly.
Mueller is aware of the political calendar. He doesn't want his investigation to drag out until late this year.
He will wait until Barr is installed as AG and then they will make a decision on whether or not to indict the president and/or his family members. Barr probably will be against those indictments unless Mueller has evidence of particularly egregious crimes. But that won't stop other jurisdictions from indicting them.
Either way, Tiny is going to prison.

If I could psychoanalyze Igy for a second.
it's true that Igy complains about anti-trumpers but won't admit he is pro-trump. What's that about?
Igy is a contrarian. He feels a need to push against the conventional wisdom. He has been very bearish about the stock market for years and years. Why? There are good reasons, but they don't really matter - I think he gets a psychic boost from being apart from the crowd.
A bit of the same goes for his feelings about trump. When so many people are anti-trump, just as so many people are bullish about the stock market, he gets his back up and pushes the other way. Why?
Some of us instinctively push against the conventional wisdom and get a mental boost from it. He probably wouldnt' say that he is a stock market bear, just as he wont' say he is pro-trump. He is more...anti-crowdwisdom.
Is that fair, Igy?
Contrarian is likely correct. I long ago won the stock market debate and so I don't even post on that thread any more. Time will show that I am right about Trump also. Some people are just contrarian. I've known a couple, and Igy could certainly be one of those. Since I don't know him personally, I can't be certain that he is, but there is some evidence to support that.
Respectfully, I would pay a little more attention to the markets and less to politics. The character of the market changed 9/20/2018. A rebalance to that target allocation that you promised yourself to make “if ever reached” would be a wise move.
Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?
Trump’s people say, “Get a loan!” And don’t say when it will be paid back, how much you need, or current income (zero). Because the shutdown could last years!
Roger Stone has been indicted by a grand jury on charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller, who alleges that the longtime Donald Trump associate sought stolen emails from WikiLeaks that could damage Trump's opponents while in coordination with senior Trump campaign officials.
