The current attempt at impeaching President Trump revolves around a claim of a "quid pro quo" of government aid to the Ukraine, in exchange for them pursuing legitimate law enforcement investigations of your typical Demorrhoid corruption.
First, it is the JOB of the Executive Branch, via State and Commerce Departments among others, to quid pro quo other governments. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.  "You want X? We want Y. Deal?"
Literally. Their fucking. Job.
In 1948, President Truman's administration approved the creation of ARAMCO for the purpose of acquiring oil from Saudi Arabia, while having a means of putting political pressure on them. That's in the actual statements in the authorization.
So the whole trial is a farce to start with. There are legitimate complaints about some of Trump's actions.  This isn't one of them. Of course, most that are questionable were exactly what the Demorrhoids wanted, so they're silent on that.
Second, even worse than ascribing the SNL quote of "I can see Russia from my house" that Sarah Palin never actually said, but is now considered "Fake, but accurate," they're basing this on what some Demorrhoid shithead in Congress paraphrased from hearsay from some source he isn't really sure about.
But, even if we assume this might actually result in any credible, pursuable charges from the Fascist Wing of the DNC, what then?  First they have to prove the charge, which is non-existent.
Then, it goes to the Republican controlled Senate for follow up. I'm sure they'll give it all the attention it deserves.
But even if they do something: you may remember when this happened to Bill Clinton over actual perjury charges.  The result was "Censure."  IOW, a letter saying, "We find you to be quite naughty."  Nothing substantive.
But even if they actually remove the sitting president from their own party (I dunno, maybe they think it'll be useful later for removing a Demorrhoid for the easily provable charge of being anti-American), it means, by the time they get to that, Trump is gone for the last 5 months of his term.
Which would mean PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE. Now, that asshole was my governor. If you do not like Trump, you will not like Pence even more, who demonstrably IS a Christo-fascist, anti-choice, anti-gay crusader. Seriously?  Are you fucking retarded? Apparently.
AND, that still doesn't stop Trump from campaigning to run for office again, and still winning because his followers and most of the mainstream are pretty fucking sick of "liberal" fascist cocksuckers trying to subvert the legal processes for some strange sexual worship and obsession with Trump.  Hell, I might even vote for him to just to watch four more years of complete meltdown.
But worst case, it just means PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE.  Jesus tittyfucking Christ in a pink tutu on a pogo stick, are you...well, yes, obviously you ARE that fucking stupid.
What we really need is to quid pro quo some foreign government's intelligence service into assassinating the entire DNC membership. But Trump is too soft and liberal for that.

| Hi Mike Williamson, | ||||
| Important changes that may impact your monetization and content discoverability are coming.  HAVE YOU COCKSUCKERS EVER PAID ANYONE ANYTHING? | ||||
| Starting today, all creators are required to tell us if their content is made for kids in order to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and/or other applicable laws. To help you comply, we are introducing a new audience setting in YouTube Studio.  OR WHAT? | ||||
| Depending on the amount of made for kids content on your channel, you can set your audience at either the channel level or the video level. For those who are setting at the channel level, it is just one click. I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT MY LEVEL OR SETTINGS ARE. I UPLOAD SHIT FROM TIME TO TIME. PEOPLE LOOK AT IT FROM TIME TO TIME. | ||||
 | ||||
| These changes are required as part of a settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and NY Attorney General, and will help you comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and/or other applicable laws.  COPPA.  HOW CLEVER. NOT.  YOU'RE THE CHANNEL, YOU HAVE THE LAWYERS.  COMPLY AWAY.  AND FUCK NEW YORK. THEY'RE FASCIST, ANTI-AMERICAN COCKSUCKERS ANYWAY.  VIOLATING THEIR RULES IS A MORAL DUTY. PS: I DON'T LIVE IN NEW YORK. | ||||
| We know that these changes won’t be easy for some creators, and that this required change is going to take some time getting used to. But these are important steps to take to ensure compliance with the law.  YADDA YADDA GO FUCK YOURSELF. | ||||
| Please read more below to understand your legal obligations and the impact these choices may have on your channel. SURE, IT'S BEEN HILARIOUS SO FAR. | ||||
| What is changing? | ||||
| Starting today, all creators are required to mark their content as made for kids or not made for kids in YouTube Studio. OR WHAT? BASED ON WHAT? | ||||
| Starting in January: we will limit the data we collect on made for kids content to comply with the law. This means we will disable personalized ads on this content (which affects revenue for creators making content for kids), as well as certain features like comments, notifications and others. Note: You may see some small changes as we experiment and refine our systems over the next few months.  SO YOU'RE GOING TO REDUCE INCOME AND FUCK OVER PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE STUFF FOR KIDS. GEE, I WONDER WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THAT WILL BE? | ||||
| For a list of affected features, go here. | ||||
| Why is this happening?  BECAUSE THE TRUMP ASSMINISTRATION ARE AS BIG OF CUCKFAGS AS THE PREVIOUS DOZEN ADMINISTRATIONS. | ||||
| These changes are required as part of a settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and NY Attorney General, and will help you comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and/or other applicable laws. SORRY, I WAS NOT PARTY TO THIS LAWSUIT OR CASE OR WHATEVER. ALSO, FIRST AMENDMENT, BITCHES.  I'LL POST WHAT I WANT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TAKE IT DOWN.  IT'S YOUR PLATFORM, YOUR PROBLEM. | ||||
| Regardless of your location, we are required to ask you to set your videos as made for kids if they fall into that category, please make these settings as soon as possible. NO. GO FUCK YOURSELF. | ||||
| We’ll also use machine learning systems to help us find content that is clearly made for kids. But do not rely on our systems to set content for you -- like all automated systems, ours are not perfect. FINALLY, AN ACCURATE STATEMENT. | ||||
| If you don’t set your content or if we detect error or abuse, we may set your audience for you. If you fail to set your content accurately you may face compliance issues with the FTC or other authorities, and we may take action on your YouTube account. THEN THERE'S NO ADVANTAGE FOR ME TO DO ANYTHING, IS THERE? I'LL LET YOU JUMP ON THAT GRENADE. | ||||
| What is ΓÇ£made for kidsΓÇ¥ content? | ||||
| We cannot provide specific legal advice, but according to the FTCΓÇÖs guidance on COPPA, a video is child directed (which we call ΓÇ£made for kidsΓÇ¥) if: | ||||
| ||||
| Learn more about the factors that determine if your content is considered as made for kids here.  NAH. | ||||
| We know this won’t be easy for some creators, and that this required change is going to take some getting used to. While we cannot provide legal advice, we are committed to helping you through this transition.  IF YOU CAN'T PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE, YOU'RE JUST SOME HELPFUL FRIEND ON THE INTERNET. THAT NEVER WORKS OUT WELL. | ||||
| You can learn more about your own obligations under The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the tools we are building to support you here. GO SUCK START A SHOTGUN. | ||||

I only knew Butch by his first time.  He was a regular dealer here at the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife show. He looked 65 when I met him in 1995. He looked 65 in June of this year. He was in hospice for the August show, and the cancer reached his brain and killed him in September.
Butch sold gun parts, and knew every part of every gun ever made. You'd hold up a gun.  "I need this."
He'd say, "Middle screw for the sideplate of a Smith Model 57." Turn around, open an old wooden drawer on his rack, and pull one out.  
You'd hold up a piece you found and ask, "What is this?"
"That's the fore end latch spring for a Stevens Model 94. From the bend, I'm guessing it was 20 gauge."
There's at least a dozen guns here that work because he had parts I needed, and a half dozen shotguns I put together from stripped receivers and parts from his tables.
RIP, Butch. You can never be replaced.
His daughter has taken over the business. I hope she's as successful as he was.

Partly because they've created a society where they have most of it by their flawed definition.
Privilege comes from the Latin meaning "Private Law." So in a literal sense, unless there are laws to some effect, favoring or harming others, there is no privilege. For example, if there was a dedicated driving lane for those of a certain class, that would be privilege. I'd also be part of it and sneer at you inferior drivers, because honestly, that really should be a thing.
Actor, Action, Patient, Agent:
The ACTOR acts out.  The ACTION affects the PATIENT, for positive or negative. An AGENT is anyone capable of acting.  In a hypothetical extreme privilege society, the PATIENT has no AGENCY and cannot fight the ACTION.  Slavery in the antebellum South is a good example of this. Slaves had very little agency whatsoever, and when they did, it was usually through their owner by proxy with no personal say in the matter.
But that's not the world we live in now.  The law officially applies to everyone equally. Now, enforcement varies, and it usually works to the advantage of the wealthy and celebrities of ANY DEMOGRAPHIC.
But if, let's say, a cop and a judge decide to charge and sentence two people differently, based on race, religion, political affiliation.  The PATIENTS of these ACTIONS don't have much AGENCY to change the ACTORS' intentions. Possibly a better lawyer or publicity can change things, but there's no official strata, no, "Hey, you can't do that to me, I have this card that says ___" (Well, sometimes politicians and cops have such a card. Foreign diplomats do to an extent.  But it's exceptionally rare for anyone else.)
"They treated you better, YOU HAVE PRIVILEGE!"
No, I fucking don't. And by claiming so, YOU have just diverted the ACT from the ACTOR to me, one of the PATIENTS.  "You got treated better! You are evil!" Wrong. The ACTORS did the wrongdoing. You and I are both PATIENTS.  You are literally arguing that if you get punched in the face and I don't, that it's because I'm the bad guy, not the asshole who's punching people.
Stop with the bullshit claims of PRIVILEGE for the patients of the action, and go after the fucking ACTORS. Because every time you accuse someone else of "privilege" for actions totally beyond their control, you piss them off and make it even harder to go after the ACTORS who cause the problems.
