Cont: House Impeachment Inquiry - part 3

Ziggurat said:
Does nobody pay any attention? Once again, if you just didn't think it was funny, that's fine. I know it's not a particularly good joke, I'm not trying to argue otherwise. But the problem here isn't that people didn't think it was funny. That was not the complaint.

Did you not pay attention? This has been addressed.

The problem isn't that it was a joke. The problem is that the joke makes no sense when you insist that people not infer things you aren't explicit about.

It made sense to me, though.

As I said before, I think Ziggurat meant that the fact that he was his twin is the reason why Trump wanted him out, quite simply. He could confirm this, but he has me on ignore because I'm a big meanie.

I guess if one lying obese sack of **** can become President, he can give the medal of freedom to another lying obese sack of ****.

Could go possibly get a list of every quote like these said by Rush? Only if you have a year or two to spare.

You could gather them all together, but to what end? The 40 percent who like him would think they're great. People who already can't stand him will still not be able to stand him.

The whole MO of the current batch of Republicans is to rely on innuendo so that they can sneakily introduce these ideas without necessarily making claims. Like Pompeo did when he said Ukraine is not Bangladesh. He never said the PBS reporter made that mistake. Dishonest as hell, but he didn't technically lie. I don't see Democrats using this strategy much but maybe I'm biased. Then there's always the "I was joking" dodge.

Al Franken wrote a book about it, now obviously dated. He could do an update - I'd read that.
 
Dems could go into the Election with a complete set of Articles of Impeachment 2.0 that they will only advance if they manage flip the Senate but not the White House.
That might help with down-ballot voting.

Only Zig can tell you that. Anyone else would be wrong.

I have no idea why Zig didn't just explain the joke. I had to think about what he meant and what people were on about before I got it.

Essentially two questions were asked.

Who is Yevgeny?
Why was Yevgeny fired?

He was Vindman's brother.
(Because) he was Vindman's brother.

Some people didn't think 'just because' was an actual answer to the second question. But come on, it's no different than, because Trump is just that vindictive. I honestly don't know what people expected, some actual logical reason?

This could have been resolved in one post.

Instead we have two pages of crap.
