I heard like three seconds this morning in which some R guy said exactly this: "Republicans have not been able to subpoena documents or call witnesses"
Um my dude are you literally SIMULTANEOUSLY saying that you want to subpoena documents / call witnesses AND allowing Rs to ignore subpoenas and refuse to testify?
The hypocrisy would burn except we are now all so used to it that it's just a dull, tedious ache.

I know its important to point this stuff out but the GOP & their voters will defend literally anything this party does no matter how idiotic or cruel the argument. remember these are the people who still claim 3 million illegal immigrants voted in 2016 & that Christine Blasey Ford was sexually assaulted by **someone** but there's no possible way to know who and it definitely is not the dude with the reputation for being blackout drunk all the time

If they feel provoked and put on the defensive, they dig in their heels even further so that the opposition does not get the satisfaction. That's all they care about. It doesn't matter what is being argued or how arbitrary it even is for them to draw a line in the sand in regards to "dem stance" "GOP stance" depending on the context.

Dem stance: (reasoned position which one may or may not find agreeable depending on one's ideological perspective)GOP stance: (feces-streaked maniac frantically jerks off onto a hamburger)
Let us now regard these stances with equal respect, as the founders would have wanted.

To all of the republicans who have taken to rending their garments over the unfairness of Trump undergoing impeachment proceedings which, because the outcome is ultimately in the hands of the GOP, will result in nothing more punitive than a degree of mild inconvenience, might I offer the counterproposal of just having the president melted down in an industrial-sized vat of acid?

Being the Messiah, according to the Messianic beliefs of his era, would have also required his being the King of the Jews. This is the reason why the gospels include an elaborate genealogy to prove Jesus was a direct descendent of David. As unreliable as the gospels are as biography, it appears Jesus was very circumspect about making direct outright claims to be the Messiah, but he frequently spoke about "his father in heaven" and let people draw the obvious conclusion. Come to think, this makes him a lot like Trump and his 'do us a favor, though'.
