Members marceline Posted September 6, 2018 Members Share Posted September 6, 2018 To me the most interesting thing about that op-ed is that it is a sign to me that people are thinking about how to preserve what's left of their careers and reputations when this all blows apart. I think a lot of people are just trying to figure out how to avoid jail at this point because everyone is flipping on everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 6, 2018 Members Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) The NYT has many, many issues but the NYT didn't write this editorial. However self-serving, the author won't remain hidden for long. What matters most IMO is we're in an unprecedented situation where the president's senior staff are now openly invoking the 25th Amendment and removing him "one way or another" in one of the biggest press in the nation. And if you think it does nothing you're wrong, because Trump has been in even more freefall numbers-wise since McCain. Eventually, saying any public statement "just helps him" is ultimately self-defeating and untrue.

Members Vee Posted September 6, 2018 Members Share Posted September 6, 2018 Political showmanship or not, it is the right thing for him and all of them to do. I'm very proud. Between this and the NYT leaks, Collins and others have run out of room to maneuver on Kavanaugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 6, 2018 Members Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yup. Oh, I agree, Vee. It IS the right thing for Booker and his ride-or-dies to do. I'm just saying that if Cornyn goes through with invoking Senate Rule 29 and we end up losing (IMO) a great Senator because he tried to serve in the best interests of the American people, then it's gonna be sad as hell. Meanwhile, I'm loving Booker's "Bring it!". He forgot the word "bitch," but the sentiment remains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 6, 2018 Members Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I actually think that this is what the people of New Jersey sent Booker to the Senate to do.

Members marceline Posted September 6, 2018 Members Share Posted September 6, 2018 If Booker gets ousted, I'm wondering if the Governor of NJ can just rename him back to the Senate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
