Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The Quality Of Their Arguments

The GOP's defense of Trump has largely avoided arguing that what he did with Ukraine is OK. That has forced them to try and engage with his torrent of conspiracy theory bullshit, nonsensical distractions, and process arguments.

Now that there will be an actual impeachment vote, it will be interesting to see how these strategies play out in the Senate.

I have a hunch we aren't through finding more damning evidence against Trump, so Republicans have wisely, I guess, avoided pinning themselves down to any strategy.

Still waiting to hear from John Bolton and Lev Parnas.
