"Democrats are discussing a process that would allow them to bypass the committee proceedings and move articles of impeachment directly to the floor - mara Jan 7, 15:36 2

- Do it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 15:36
761 new cases in BC, so that's a bad upward trend -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 15:36 2

      - Are you sure? Do you have a link? I found this ("Nor would invoking the 25th Amendment prevent him from running for president again.") -- (link) - mara Jan 7, 15:22
      - I wasn't aware that it had that power, but that would be nice. And yeah, impeachment is not quick. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 15:18 2
        
        It can be as quick as they want it to be. -- nm - Reagen Jan 7, 15:24
        
        Theoretically, it *can* be. There doesn't have to be a long, drawn-out hearing. And I believe conviction prevents him running again. I just don't know - mara Jan 7, 15:24
    - I like the sounds of that - let's do it. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jan 7, 15:13

- MLB had the other two as their #9 and #10 prospects, which is great. -- nm - Tim Jan 7, 14:40 3

    - It’s already way better than the Cano trade! -- nm - Tim Jan 7, 14:56 1

  - It's a trade that makes sense for both teams. Cleveland needed to turn 1 year of Lindor into more value, they did. - musubi Jan 7, 14:13 4
    - You didn't give them magic beans but you guys got the better of the deal, by far. - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 7, 14:22 3

    - Also worth noting, Christopher Eccleston was the most famous actor in the film at that time as he had been in Cracker which was a massive TV show. -- nm - LMS Jan 7, 14:45
- I think that's understandable. I think if critics with that kind of exposure were just as likely to be female as male, it wouldn't even be notable. -- nm - mara Jan 7, 13:47 1
  - Come to think of it, mebbe I'm biased... they just agreed Peter Gallagher is good looking :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 14:42

HELP. I am looking at cellphones & plans because of paypal & other sites. I do not need expensive & fancy, but do need input on GB's and other stuff - Peglegpete Jan 7, 13:38 11
