Yes. I'm here now. Tried to get together with Slice, but he has been tied up when I'm in his area, and vice versa. We are about an hour and 10-15 minutes apart.

Nice. My folks ended up moving to the place we shared in Miramar Beach. They are loving being year rounders. Hoping to pop down for a couple days after Christmas.

There is nothing on Real Clear Politics which shows that. As a matter of fact, the Ukraine military aid story really started to pick up steam in mid-to-late September. Trump's Real Clear Politics Average Approval Rating on September 20th was 44.7%. Today it was 44.5%. Trump's poll numbers have always been stagnant. His approval ratings have remained between 37.1% and 46.2%. I will say that he is currently near the high end of his range... but there is no evidence that his ceiling has been raised. He hasn't expanded his core base of support.

I believe he has quietly increased his support with the black vote. Most blacks that have switched will not be making public announcements like the silent majority doesn't protest. It will be done at the ballet box. Too many looney bins out there to want to bother. Kanye West is a key figure. The liberals are worried including the house negros that are getting rich off being social justice warriors.

I know it's not a criminal proceeding but if it were I'd argue the Dems failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The only "fact" witness testified he was told it wasn't being held up for a quid pro quo and the rest of the witnesses including him admitted it was their "assumption".

It is once again all about making up a crime to discredit Trump. As you point out, everybody involved has his or her own version of what Trump's words meant. Apparently it's the dim thing to hang everything on a definition. What's really missing is who is the whistle blower; what does he/she actually know; and at the very heart, how and why was the whistle blower monitoring the conversation ... was it legal or another bogus monitoring job.

I think you're dreaming. This is a dream that has disappointed Republicans many times over the years... and some of your lingo sounds like it's out of the 50's deep south. "house negros"? LOL.

I see that Tulsi voted present tonight on both articles of Impeachment. Interesting.

Tulsi's learning. A vote to impeach Trump could be considered abuse of power in attacking a political rival if you say that an action can only be viewed in one way ... which is precisely the logic the dims are using to attack Trump.

What you don't realize fool is that I am a black male that voted Democrat for over 20 years. I am a former member of the NAACP among other things. Black empowerment will not come through the democratic party. It is mental slavery. You policies are self defeating. I am not a Republican. You're BS cannot work on me because I am part of the very people you think you understand.

I think the vast majority of Americans really don’t care about the impeachment. They’re sick and tired of the never ending poo show the Democrats and media has perpetuated.
Let’s see who the Senate subpoenas and what the public thinks after hearing from them.

not sure if it's opportunistic, defensive or offensive.

the reality is that Team Barr has one more year to reveal more bad actions against Trump.

I'm guessing that much of the "meh" about Trump impeachment is recognition that the government clearly overstepped against him and this looks like one more example of the system going after him. He's getting inoculated.

I'm thinking Trump is getting knock-ulated. Rather than immunized. But clearly the same group is still after him. Coup is far too bland a word for what they are trying to do.

I definitely think they have something to hide. That's why Trump was so adamant against them testifying.

Adamant against them testifying because it is a witch-hunt for political reasons only. No crimes were committed. Look at Biden and his son for the source of real corruption.

On a brighter note, I went to Panama City today and hit golf balls on a high dollar simulator. At 70 years old, I still have a swing speed of around 100 mph. One was 101.6. I hit 20 balls and only had one that was more than 5 or 6 yards offline. All within about 10-12 yards in total distance. 3 different drivers, too.

I wanted to add that I never play golf anymore, but I practice fairly often. I had only played about 63 ? holes in the last 6 or 7 years, I think. I went to Carrabelle and played St. James Bay www.stjamesbay.com , which winds through a nature preserve with a lot of water and wetlands.

When I read reviews of the course, it said to bring a lot of golf balls, because if you miss a fairway, you probably don't want to go looking.....alligators and such. Well, I only had time to play 9 holes, and haven't actually played a hole in about 2 years. After 8 holes, I had 7 pars and a 3 putt double bogey, and had not missed a fairway, so was still playing with the same golf ball. I'm feeling good going to number 9.

Number 9 is a dogleg right par 4 with water all the way down the right side and out of bounds wetlands and scrub palmetto fans left. I think I made about a 14 or 15 , after hitting 3 in the water, and 2 or 3 more through the dogleg and in the scrub. So much for that.

There was a time when I didn't get JC Watts. I was young, but now I do. I'm just glad I came out of my intellectual coma.

1 Corinthians 13:11 NIV

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

I really thought that Watts could have been President, had he stayed in politics.

That in no way means those are people who are going to vote for him... What did he receive from the black vote in 2016? 9%? That is about what he will do again. Trump's hope for the black vote is that they don't turnout.

He will pick up black support. Don't know how much, but he will see gains.

SCOTUS will decide the legitimacy of this clown show before the Senate.

They'll probably insist that he recuse himself on the basis that he is biased against against them and their smear campaign. Like Sotomayor or Obama's other SC chick ... oh, wait, they didn't recuse themselves over possible bias.
