					<description><![CDATA[Another voice chimed in today on the dos and don&#039;ts of conducting an impeachment. Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell wrote a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/house-judiciary-committee-can-see-mueller-grand-jury-materials-federal-judge-orders/76c43be4-0f74-4f9a-995c-e63b91a517b2/&quot;&gt;75 page opinion&lt;/a&gt; that blew away Republican arguments against turning over grand jury material to the House Judiciary Committee (HJC).

One of those arguments centered on a full House vote authorizing an impeachment inquiry. Judge Howell said that the argument was &quot;fatally flawed.&quot; &lt;i&gt;&quot;Even in cases of presidential impeachment, a House resolution has never, in fact, been required to begin an impeachment inquiry.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;For those who can’t believe something unless they see it on Fox News...&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Much as it pains me to say this, but even the more sane voices on Fox cannot pierce the delusional bubble of committed Trumpists.   I witness it first hand with my parents (both in their 70s).  When the Mueller report came out Judge Napolitano released a number of videos on Fox news clearly explaining how Trump obstructed justice.  My father dismissed it out of hand.  

Other things that conservative television/radio has convinced my father of (to name a few):
...That Amazon didn&#039;t actually &#039;not pay any taxes&#039;.
...That Bernie Sanders &lt;b&gt;is&lt;/b&gt; actually taking corporate donations money despite what Sanders says.
...That Trump has a high IQ.
...That Hitler was a Socialist!

Over the years I and my spouse have always had &#039;interesting&#039; and &#039;animated&#039; political discussions with my father.   Since the Trump presidency, we really cant discuss politics at all; mostly because we can&#039;t even have reality as a frame of reference.   

It really is depressing...]]></description>
