Trump Says Market Would Crash If He Gets Impeached

[John V]

Way to attack the example used to illustrate a point rather than attack the point itself.  The "skillset" of an editor for a liberal newspaper is not the same as that for a conservative paper as judgements which call upon the editors values are applied, which might not align as well with a conservative paper's mission as that of a liberal paper.

Seeing as a conservative/liberal paper's mission is in part to further conservative/liberal causes, that refutes your previous claim that the goal in applying for a position at a liberal newspaper is merely to get a job, and not to advance liberal causes.

But if you don't like the example, no problem.  We'll just substitute a different one.  Let's say that one is a progressive commentator.  One is likely to concentrate on acquiring a position at NPR rather than at Fox News as one's progressive views would be less welcome at Fox.  The candidate is interested in a job, not pushing progressive viewpoints.  As with Mueller, the difference is that it is the political bias of others and how they may influence those others which is the political reality that one is dealing with.  In both cases, the person is not guided in their actions by their political biases, but realistically must accommodate the fact that others are engaged in making politically biased actions which would affect one's ability to accomplish non-political goals.  So, no, it isn't Mueller's politics at issue, nor are his politics dictating his decision.  That's why, as noted, Mueller's decision is not political, though it takes political realities into account.  In that instance, it is other people making politically biased decisions. Mueller is simply reacting to that reality in line with his goals and mandate as special prosecutor.

Isn't a special counsel's goal to determine the truth? You act as if it's to get a prosecution regardless of what's found.

Also, considering the Strzok/Page texts, it's pretty tough to make the case that this process isn't political.

Will that continue to be your line when Mueller lays out his findings in detail and supported by a mountain of documentary evidence?

[The Grand Nudger]

Mueller is a deep state partisan and he's assembled a team of angry dems, who are being aided and abbetted by the oh-so-liberal justice dept..dontchaknow?  

Belly up to the trough and let fox mamabird you all the news that's fit to print.

No it's not tough at all the fact idiots like you think those texts in any way undermine the investigation is the only tough case .

Nope. I have no problem with President Pence.

True to form.

Let me know if you ever decide to support a serious person for that office.

Democrats have been crying impeachment for the entirety of his presidency until something actually impeachable comes along. Why? Because there's a possibility of over 200 Democrats getting elected in November, a lot of them in Trump states. They want to win the elections, so they're putting off their morals until December. 

Gotta love politics.

Bingo! Nice that someone is finally honest enough to say it.

Right. It's important to analyze these things as objectively as possible. Which is why it's also important to acknowledge that the President has been personally and directed implicated in a campaign finance violation -- in other words, a legitimate crime. Impeachment is necessary, or at the very least, reasonable.

In Trumpworld, high crimes and misdemeanors don't mean what we normally mean when we use those words. Didn't you know that?
