    I think this is my favorite Baron argument ever.

    Except the basis of the perjury and obstruction of justice were questions on sexual behavior.

    The only peoeple he couldn't have sex with without it being sexual harassment were Vlad Putin and Margaret Thatcher.

    If that's the case, why has the number of uninsured fallen considerably in recent years?

    But he was not being asked about his sexual behavior in a vacuum. There was context.
    He was being sued for inappropriate sexual behavior. Within the context of that trial, questions about his sexual behavior, especially in the workplace, are appropriate.

    The basis for the perjury and obstruction of justice charges were his answers under oath during a sexual harassment trial. The basis for the impeachment was not his sexual behavior but his responses to questions he was asked while under oath during a trial.

    He wasn't impeached for improper sexual conduct. He was impeached because he possibly committed perjury and because that perjury possibly constituted obstruction.

    So now Conservative Hero Trump has gone all in on bigotry and antisemitism by hiring the Breitbart guy to run his campaign. Stay classy.

    Sure. Then I would be more qualified to join the State Department, which, in its sexually harassment rules, lists "unwelcome sexual advances" in its policy. Nothing about consensual sex.

    Sexual Harassment Policy

    Yes, within the context of the trial.

    Not within the context of getting fired from his current job.

    Read that a little policy a little more carefully. I think you skipped a few lines, especially at the end.

    That's a funny response, but he was referring to you spelling it "Chaple Hill" instead of "Chapel Hill"

    He wasn't impeached because he's a masher. He was impeached because he possibly perjured himself during a trial.

    Two distinct trials - the Paula Jones lawsuit and the impeachment.

    Well, and his wife, I guess, when she gets elected President.
