The current President is the person in power, so politically he is the subject that matters (to Congress). Choosing to go after Clinton like they are is just a distraction tactic. Unless Clinton has something pertinent to add about the current President, it's more the business of the judicial system.

Well ##### certainly achieved his goal of taking J. Epstein out of the headlines this weekend, although B. Clinton may bring it back.

Referendum? You must mean Anschluss...

Reminds me of the days when large telescopes were funded by private beneficiaries, like the Hooker and Hale telescopes. Hopefully they can pull it off.

It was very sad to watch that event this morning; the woman was clearly panicking and trying to flee, and was murdered for it. This administration is starting to rack up quite a body count, and I can only expect it will get worse. Well the anti-ICE folks now have their cause célèbres, so the protest will likely ramp up. I'm not opposed to anti-illegal immigration policing per se, but somehow it needs to be made clear to this administration that the abuse level is completely unacceptible. However, I suspect that all the protesting in the world will have little impact on this ruler. He's just not quite right in the head.

A non-democratic government can clearly be legitimate, in the sense of being legal in the context of that nation's judicial system. The validity of their claims to be a democracy is another matter; no I don't believe Venezuela is a democracy any longer. They're what I dub a "mockracy" -- pretending to be a democracy for propaganda purposes.

It's irrelevant whether I consider him a "legitimate" leader; the government of Venezuela considered him their legitimate President. North Korea calls itself a people's democracy and holds "democratic" elections. Is there any doubt that Kim Jung Un is the legal President of North Korea?

Heh, criminal ex-President to go on trial... and it's not Trump. I wonder how the negotiations for Maduro's pardon are coming along? Presumably Hernández will be consulted for tips.

What do Iran, Venezuela, and Nigeria have in common? Oil production of course. Drugs, dictatorship, and terrorism are most likely a smoke screen.

Let's see, mass murder: check; piracy: check; kidnapping foreign presidents: check. ##### is racking up quite the crime spree.

I had no idea there was such a variety of pigeons.

#####-Kennedy Center says it plans to sue jazz musician who canceled Christmas performance over ##### name change Yeah, because we all know how much a legal threat encourages the arts. Perhaps Mr. Redd could follow Marshawn Lynch's example, "I'm just here so I don't get fined."

I think that's a combined (rough) estimate. How Many Died in the American Civil War? 2% of the population; the deadliest war in US history.

Not so sure its pride as much as memorializing the 750,000 people who died while settling the issue.

Just too cute
