Heading to the city to get my body back

[sovay]

We appear to have achieved impeachment proceedings. I'm really impressed. May we all get a fair share of justice with our popcorn.

In the meantime, please enjoy R. Lemberg's Impeach Peach.

I'm really hoping things go more the Nixon route than the Johnson/Clinton.

Greetings:

You may recall, tho’, that President Ford’s decision to pardon R Nixon infuriated both Left and Right.  The collectivists felt cheated; they exulted in their victory and wanted to see the Great Satan made to pay for…  well, winning re-election, to start with, but the list was long.  Their popcorn was to hand, and now the show trial was cancelled.

The conservatives, on the other hand, were purple because you can’t receive a pardon for a crime you didn’t commit - so a pardon is tacit admission of guilt, found without trial!

[They were none too happy about his pardon of draft dodgers also.  Dura lex, sed lex:  He was in effect overturning the law, “legislating from the bench.”]

Arguably it was these acts of diplomacy that lost him the 1976 election.  How he would have reacted to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan or the Iranian hostage crisis is a matter of speculation.

WHAT?????? WE HAVE?????

I generally trust the Guardian when it says something like that!

"After months of pressure from a significant portion of her caucus to greenlight impeachment proceedings, Pelosi finally came around on Tuesday, after 24 hours in which more than 30 House Democrats joined the call to open an impeachment inquiry."

[dewline]

The Guardian, CBC, BBC, NPR...

[julian]

Basically, the Democratic caucus went, "Um, yeah," and Pelosi was forced to follow.

[rachelmanija]

I really thought it would never happen.

I was not just understating for effect when I said I was impressed. Now I hope it does what the process is supposed to do.

[batdina]

good luck with your body.

[sovay]

good luck with your body.

It's a line from the song I was listening to, but thank you. I always feel like I need luck with my body, honestly.

Just so long as we knock out Pence at the same time.

It is my hope that he does an Agnew.

I hope Ben & Jerry's (or someone) does a good ImpeachMint.

I hope peach and mint actually taste good together. Maybe real mint, not sugar-stick peppermint.

[nineweaving]

I was thinking a peach mint julep. Candy canes would be awful.

Ooh! BPAL could do a Peach-Mint brew that only comes in the Imp size!

[kore]

BPAL is ON THAT, altho not in imp size

A beam of hope for a happier, safer, kinder future for us all: peach and honeyed amber with frankincense, honeyed rose, white oud, apricot, and sweet musk.

Proceeds benfit the ACLU.

I love their peach note, and the activism scents in general are really good.

Thank you! Likewise, on your side.

Meantime, we have the Bojo saga.

Interesting times...........

[choco_frosh]

Speaking of government bodies finally doing the right thing, yeah...

[sovay]

Meantime, we have the Bojo saga.

I've been following. I wish you luck. At least you also have awesome spider-wearing judges.

I saw someone point out yesterday that Boris had managed to have a worse day than Donald, which under the circumstances was pretty impressive.

I'm fine if they want to start having a contest.

[ethelmay]

It was John Scalzi. At least I still remember how to spell "sieve," as in "memory like a." Gonna need that word.

My Favorite Congregant Who Used to Sell Double Glazing in Moscow in the Eighties says Pence and Pompeo will go, too. She's not usually...wrong.

Fingers crossed, yo.
