A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Re: The Trump Impeachment
Republicans want Biden, not Sanders. So they can impeach him over a conspiracy theory:

pffftt, he can afford to make a fuss and vote for the impeachment, he knows as well as anyone that the qualified majority won't be reached.

Re: The Trump Impeachment
Trump has majority support in Utah, and Mitt's family will have to heavily increase security. I don't think Romney gains nothing from this, other than knowing he did the right thing.

Well, thats not a nice thing to say of them... then again , when I see that caliber of humanity, I say that being a politician should be made a capital crime... no appeals.
