At least there will be no need for the tiresome 'Who is the worst US president ever' discussion anymore.

Oh God. The constant ranking of the Presidents is so tiresome.

We've got, like, six of them (one barely lasting a year)  so for now we don't have much to debate about.

I'd also say that top and bottom are relatively noncontroversial.

You only count the ones since Generalissimo Francisco Franco started staying dead? Why?

Because that's when the democratic office of President of the Government of Spain was created. It exists in some form since the XIXth century, but they aren't considered to be the same. The lineage officially starts with Adolfo Suárez.

Sometimes you might just want to hear their take and get back to beer and non-political topics. Other times you might enjoy busting out a rousing "impeach the feckless buffoon" diatribe. I dunno how you like to relate to the local huckleberries.

As soon as he said "witch hunt" I knew there was nowhere I could get any traction with this guy.

I was listening to a serious analysis on how Trump's Saudi visit might turn out.

Am I the only one who thinks e is merely going there to open a rainy day fund? The cringeworthy follow up trips to the two other religious centers seem to strengthen this

Yes, you're the only one thinking that.

Well, you have much to learn about shady oligarchs.

I think I know enough to believe that they won't be conducting said shady business in person amidst a state visit when all the world is watching. Trump is dense, but not that dense.

That's what patsies are for. Is stashing money in Saudi Arabia even a thing?

I asked one of my Regal Beagle huckleberries what he thought of impeachment and he tried to sell me on witch hunt.

What's one of those, a pub/bar, a brand of beer, something like a burberry wearing essex lad?

To be fair, there's English, there's American, and then there's Yi.

It seems to me that when they did in the past had weaker candidates, the Democrats rallied toward the most competent/least incompetent candidate.

Uh, want to try this sentence again?  I'm not exactly sure what you mean here.

Regal Beagle *= Legal Eagle. Lawyer.

Lawyers are legal beagles around here, but, I suppose, nicknames can very by region.

Regal Beagle is the name of a pub or bar in some TV show whose name I forget.

Thanks, that must have been where I half remembered it from.

I was guessing it was a Yism.

There were weak Democrat candidates for the presidency at some point.  At the time of Bush Sr, I think.  I haven't checked the numbers, but it seems many Democrats chose to vote for the stronger candidate at this time.

Is that time long gone, opinions way too polarized for this to happen on both sides now?

Kushner is going to finalyse some arms deal, and the Trumps will likely profit from this, though I do not know the specifics.
