Curmudgeon’s Corner: There’s Everybody!

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, Sam and Ivan go lightning round style again. This time they cover Joe Biden’s launch, the hollowing out of DHS, Trump’s efforts to resist congressional investigations, the question of if the women running for president (specifically Harris and Warren) are getting enough attention, the failure of the Galaxy Fold, some feedback on previous Assange comments, and finally spam, of both the phone and email varieties.

  • 03:15:47 Retweeted @owillis 03:15:14 Obviously impeaching a president without a Senate conviction is a political disaster1998 GOP impeaches Clinton
    1998 midterms GOP loses seats, retains control of House
    2000 Bush “wins”
    2002 midterms GOP takes Senate
    2002-2007 complete GOP control of government

  • 17:29:07 Retweeted @ThePlumLineGS 14:24:16 Trump may be strengthening the case for his own impeachment.If WH keeps stonewalling, legal case of House Dems may be *strengthened* by impeachment inquiry, legal experts tell me.

    This forces Dems to choose: Impeachment, or neuter themselves.

  • 22:07:16 It may not be all of it, but so much trouble seems to come from using one umbrella term to cover so much. And some of the push to lump everything into one bucket seems to come from how our health care systems link definitions and official diagnoses into access to services. https://t.co/esCi3IHYQe
  • 22:26:19 Retweeted @CarrollDoherty 20:43:43 This graphic – in a 2014 piece by the late Andy Kohut – tells you everything you need to know about public views of Richard Nixon and impeachment in 1973-74.

Indiscriminately spraying neighborhoods with rockets and machine-gun fire…highly decorated platoon chief commit shocking acts in Iraq.” https://t.co/5dVRXx6Apy
