The Times reports when a North Korean boat, which evidence later suggested were two or three North Korean civilians diving for shellfish, approached in the water during the operation, the SEALs opened fire and killed them.

    This isn’t a partisan problem nearly so much as it is a systematic one.

    can agree on everything up to here. the evidence presented for Trump’s impeachment should have sealed any impartial judgement; it’s a systematic problem when half the elected officials FEAR the power Trump would bring against them if they convicted him.

      Impeachments aren’t impartial. Senators have to go back home to their states and explain their decision to voters.

      when half the elected officials FEAR the power Trump would bring against them if they convicted him.

      It’s not the fear of Trump, but of the fascist donors and organizers who would quickly primary them out.
