    What part of serving at the pleasure of the POTUS are you having an issue with? Session should have never been appointed in the first place. Trump should have gotten rid of him sooner.

    What's silly about it?

    Did the Nazis exist and run a major country at one time? The Nazis had beliefs that the majority of all people existing should be killed out of hand. They were extremely evil, no question, but is the belief in their existence silly?

    Your analogies could use some work: horses are unable to climb trees, and I think they know this; so it is highly unlikely that you will ever see a horse, trying to climb one. Republicans, OTOH, are not stopped from trying to do something-- like eliminating Obamacare-- by the mere fact that their effort will foreseeably be a failure. So, however you think that you "know" that Republicans won't cut and/or eliminate Social Security & Medicare/Medicaid, it is not the same way as you know that horses don't climb trees. The reason that this Republican plan is being discussed at all, is because Republicans have spoken about that goal of theirs. Why would they float the idea, if they'd no intention of trying to do it?

    Your reply belies a lack of understanding of the term, and it's history.

    "High" refers political offenses by individuals in high positions.

    See #321,

    More information:

    https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S4-4-2/ALDE_00000699/

    and read Federalist #65.

    A well-constituted court for the trial of impeachments is an object not more to be desired than difficult to be obtained in a government wholly elective. The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.

    The Framers of the constitution, regarding offenses that could result in impeachments, borrowed the British term of art: "High crimes and misdemeanors".

    As to what they are, they are anything Congress deems them to be. But, it is generally understood to relate not to policy differences, or competency of offuse, but abuses of power, gross negligences, reckless regard for human life, though it could include actual crimes.

    You made the claim (by sharing the president's claim, you are essentially making the same claim by saying 'he is right'), you provide evidence.

    I won't do your work for you, sorry.

    Yea, you’re right. Every country in the world has open borders. You can come and go as you like, and you are entitled to all of the rights and benefits that country has to offer.

    Why do we bother to get passports? They are unnecessary and totally old fashioned.

    But wait, I once took a trip to Jamaica. When we landed a couple people didn’t have passports. They weren’t allowed in the country and to fly back home. I guess that’s just “policy.”

    You're ranting. Sorry, I don't engage with rants, rants are filled with weasel words.

    If you have a particular Biden or a democratic policy dispute, be specific, and let's debate it.

    Actually it’s sarcasm, but since it’s ranting for you, I won’t bother with you again. Please don’t respond.

    Sessions left in July of 2017. The Mueller report wasn't concluded until March of 2019
    Try again

    You after the spent 3 years with 50 Forensic FBI agents, two dozen CIA officials, 14 top Democrat lawyers, 2500 witnesses, and millions of subpoenaed documents, they couldn't find a single crime to depose Trump over? lol
    If they were too dumb not to call Trump in 3 years, then they were too dumb to be running the investigation in the first place.

    And just like your Afghanistan claims, you still have a problem with historical time lines I see

    You don't interrupt, period. Did the guy grow up in a barn? When he gets his chance to speak, that's when he should point out the evidence is faulty.
    Normal people call it disruption.
    They hate it when you do it effectively. Jordan may impress you, but he turns off most people who almost instinctively dislike him.
    If Republicans had appointed normal people to the committee, Pelosi wouldn't have dared to toss them aside.

    The Red Wave never happened even though inflation is up, crime is up, and home prices and rents have squeezed people more than just general inflation.

    Has it crossed your mind you may be going too far?

    You lost the popular vote by nearly 5% and have lost 8 House seats so far.

    You don't like to think ahead? Don't have ideas of your own and wait for "leaders" to peddle a line you can spout and not be out-of-step.

    Do you have any sense of what priorities might be if you control the House?

    And? By doing that allowed the special prosecutor to be name by the GOP Congress. If Sessions stayed, do you really think the special prosecutor would have been allowed by the GOP congress. If you believe that, you do not understand Republican politics.

    It is called evidence. And the evidence was there, per the Mueller report. But as usual, you have not read it. You are practically ignoring it in epic proportions. A lot of claims were verified. But some were not and it was up to Mueller to do so, except the GOP would not allow that to happen for fear of Trump "hanging himself" politically.

    This statement perfectly exemplifies the GOP, lock stock, and barrel. Thank you.

    Ah, the little comrade has nothing but loyalty to his master despite all the evidence to the contrary. Just like in Afghanistan, you are ignoring huge amounts of facts that do not fit your myopic little world. And it is very little and narrow.

    And yet you and others were predicting the "end of the Democratic Party," some big RED tsunami, some 60 seats or so, etc. In all respects, it should have been except for the lack quality candidates in nearly all the competitive races.

    I multi task. Right now I'm wondering how many seats Dems are going to steal by suddenly discovering the margin of victory in a stash of ballots in a drop box somewhere.

    You are completely lost.
    1. There is no Special "Prosecutor", there is a "Special Counsel"
    2. The Special Counsel is appointed by the AG, not Congress.

    Fake News. Of the vote counted so far:
    The vote was R+4.8%
    We've picked up 8 seats so far and are leading in another 10.
    I've never predicted the "end of the Democrat Party". The Democrat Party survived losing the Civil War, this was nothing compared to that.

    Since Dems lost the national vote by nearly 5%, do you blame your lack of quality candidates for your poor showing?

    Popular Vote so far, here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/live_results/2022/house/

    Did GOP Senators warn Trump against firing Sessions? They would have to confirm his replacement.

    You and a sack of hammers have a lot in common if you think I identify with Democrats. I keep pointing out how neither party has done spit about this...

    I figure the difference between your folks and Democrats is that your folks don't care and Democrats feel obliged to pretend they care when they don't really care, either. Not once have you addressed the problem highlighted by my graph—well, other than to falsely claim Trump was solving things.

    And you, of course have, a couple of times, posted graphs, so you have certainly done your part-- no one can claim that you are only "pretending," to care. It is clearly someone else's job, like Zorro's, to actually address the problem, now that you've pointed to it.

    Democrats shouldn't be happy that people actually support the Republican Party. You don't in any way deserve 50% of people respecting a party headed by Donald Trump, or spouting the lies it does about what's taught in schools, or their anti-abortion policies, or the impact on average folks of their tax policies, or their eagerness to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

    Democrats don't deserve support, either. They won't even protect law-abiding people from criminals.
