    Great news....to some extent

    This is the exciting post-election news I really didn't expect I'd hear this soon....or at all. I mean if impeachment has been "off the table," did any of us really expect Bush & family to be held accountable for their war crimes? My jaw clenches just thinking about him walking after the 100,000+ murders he's responsible for. Absolutely unacceptable. Look, if the president can just somehow claim he's "above the law" for all of his crimes, there are certainly methods on the same uh level that can be used to convict him. I can tell you this: I will NEVER be satisfied until his entire cabinet faces trial for their crimes - massive baby crib style like Saddam & henchmen.
