House votes to hold US attorney general in contempt over Mueller subpoena

I don't believe you, but I wouldn't mind if you were correct. I support any effort by the Democrats to diminish the influence of Trump and the Republican party. This is cultural cold war. The rules of engagement have been set by the Republicans, and it's high time the Democrats answered in kind.



Sometimes, one's contempt is difficult to hide. Did you ever see My Little Chickadee starring Mae West? There is a scene in the movie in which Ms. West has approached the judge in a courtroom scene, and makes a snide remark under her breath. The judge angrily asks (paraphrasing), “Mrs. West! Are you trying to show contempt for this court?” to which she replied, “No, your honor. I’m doing my damnedest to conceal it.”

That's pretty much where I am as well with regard to Trump and the Republican party - contempt.



Correct. The House Democrats seem poised to drag Trump through the mud for the rest of this term in office. Trump's legacy will be these never-ending investigations, and probably an impeachment.



Orphan links are frequently ignored. I don't want to watch an entire video to see a single sentence spoken that you claim was uttered. Claim rejected.



This is one good reason to ignore orphan links, that is, links provided not in support of an argument, but in lieu of one.



Big and longtime fan of Freaks. I just quoted that line to my wife this week, and she is as familiar with it as I am.



Orphan link. Not opened. Not interested. If you can't be bothered to make the argument yourself, why should others seek out that which you won't provide yourself?

I've lost count of how many times in the past I read and responded to such a link to the one posting it only to discover that whoever left the orphan link didn't actually read it himself, or read it but misunderstood it and now can't rebut the rebuttal to the piece, or the paragraphs I responded to on RF weren't the part of interest to the link poster.

I suggest that if you want to make a point, make your own arguments, and support them with links if necessary, or expect your orphan links to be ignored.



No evidence? Claim rejected.

I'm not interested in researching your unsupported claims for you. As Hitchens stated, that which is claimed without support can be disregarded without rebuttal or evidence.



I call that "tapping the glass," as with somebody observing the behavior of fish in an aquarium. It's one of the great benefits of this activity.
That is a great description of my experiment. I was definitely tapping the glass and watching a big smiling fish go haywire.

It's all a sick freaking joke.

Divisiveness like that just feeds into the spiral of ever increasing escalation. Maybe when blood runs in the streets everyone will finally be happy. Hopefully my disease kills me before that day comes.
