He is going to 180 on this later today or tomorrow. He may have thought he’d get an easy win and leave like in Venezuela. Now that it’s clear that won’t happen, he thinks he can declare that he doesn’t need a deal after all and leave.

Yeah you had a brief window to prepare for things getting really bad.

I bought a new video card right after Trump won. But yeah now I’m ready to use my current hardware for a good long while.

Highly motivated to have him removed from office permanently but not currently willing to die or go to prison over it.

I’m not a member of Congress, a billionaire, or a member of the administration.

So, what should I do about it?

What do you want me to do about it?

They’re not even that rigorous.

Then it won’t be completely random.

I wouldn’t vote to convict her if she’d killed him. Clearly would have been self-defense.
