I'd look to a show like The Good Place for a perfect balance.

It absolutely matters if you haven't seen previous episodes, but each episode is still, on it's own, great.

The answer is the old chestnut,

"When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

People like those you're responding to often see the world as a zero-sum game. If LGBTQ+ people carve out -- or in this case, demand -- representation for themselves, they believe that representation must take away "representation points" or whatever from some other group.

Frankly, Pride is the one time of year it's okay to tell these people to shut the fuck up and sit down.

Oh no.

Not undermine the legitimacy of the Court!

Those fucksticks did it themselves. Anything the Executive does to put it back on course is an improvement.

then paying off said pornstar to interfere with the election outcomes?

You forgot the most important part: Feloniously classifying those payments as "legal expenses."

There's an IDE drive in a landfill somewhere with 10BTC on it because I'm fuckwit.

I've been spending all my money on being fabulous instead of bribing old white men. I knew I was doing the adult thing wrong.

I think a better question: Why are they reading YouTube comments?

Impeachment is the accusation and happens in the House. They draft "Articles of Impeachment" and pass them like any other bill, with a majority vote.

The Senate then holds a trial while the House provides a prosecutor of those charges. The Senate acts as a jury and, to convict, requires a "2/3rd majority of those present"

Trump, for example was impeached twice, successfully. The Senate failed to convict both times.

Preachin to the choir, friend. I'd get worked up about it but I'm paid the same regardless of how upset I get.

I do one, the other senior dev does the other. We fight about it in pull requests.

I admit, this news has made me add a note to re-download firefox on my work machine...

So no specifics? Remember, the president didn't make laws...

What would you have him do that he hasn't already done?
