Okay, so that primary Christian magazine, Christianity Today, actually calls for the removal from office of President Trump. North Carolina pastor John Pavlovitz explains why Christianity Today is right.
John Scalzi at Whatever has a few thoughts about impeachment. Democrats have been out to get President Trump for a while. So John wonders why Republicans didn’t make it bi-partisan, since Trump is a lawless, heartless, crooked, incompetent President and a malignant human being. Picky, picky.
Max’s Dad conducts a close analysis of the recent 6-page response by my President to Speaker Pelosi, and finds within it a compelling argument that Donald Trump is a mad hatter.
Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson offers uncritical coverage of Republican criticism of Nancy Pelosi. Seems Pelosi is caught in a contradiction, since Democrats say removal of Trump can’t wait, but now she’s going to wait.
Well, my president has been caught trying to fix the 2020 election with an elaborate smear by a foreign government, and still continues trying to fix the 2020 election with a smear by a foreign government, which kind of explains the can’t wait part.
And McConnell says he’s got the fix in, and promises no real consideration of the charges. So Nancy will wait to submit the articles of impeachment until the Senate reveals how they will conduct an actual trial. As opposed to a sham dismissal.
James doesn’t include any of that reasoning, though. An oversight, I imagine.

‘Tis the season of historical ghosts. Jon Perr at PERRspectives reveals the open letter to Nikki Haley from Jefferson Davis explaining the meaning of the Civil War.
Apparently driftglass has a lot of company in his impatience with media bothsidesism (is too a word). Lazy, shallow, insistence that evidence and facts don’t matter as much as balance.
Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger hosts as Robert Reich explains in 5 seconds what 15 very large, famous, seemingly unrelated corporations have in common.
nojo reviews world political events and reminds us of the single overriding fact of life that dwarfs them all.
An 18 year old college student is attacked and killed in a NYC park, apparently by a few prepubescent teens, with a local rep as bullies, who wanted her purse. A police union leader suggests she maybe kind of had it coming if she might have been in the park to buy marijuana. Veteran police officer Michael John Scott, of MadMikesAmerica, has a counter-opinion. The union leader ought to be fired.
tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors has the story. A stolen truck with thousands of dollars worth of lobsters is chased by a legitimate lobster truck filled with warehouse employees trying to make the capture.
