The insistence on tossing out the red herring of Biden and his son in every related story is getting tiresome. “Whataboutism” is the final redoubt of the terminally inept, and a few posters have been demonstrating the depths of their rhetorical ineptitude in spades over the last forty-eight hours or so.

“So what if…

“UKRAINE’S NOT RUSSHUR. OKAY? I DIDNT TRY TO COLLUDE WITH UKRAINE LIKE I DID WITH RUSSIHUR LAST TIME. I JUST ASKED THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE TO HELP ME WIN THE ELECTION” - trump.

Whistleblower’s also got a whole bunch of people who now are going to have to be interrogated in the impeachment proceedings who were on the call. Whistleblower just blew the whistle - he’s not the only witness.

This is exactly my conclusion. He has been insulated and gotten away with so much, that he honestly thought this was a non-issue (relative to his daily goings on) and proudly trotted out the details of his conversation.

This is, by and large, the essence of every complaint about the mindset and intent of DJT since he declared his intent to run for President in 2016: Using manipulation and deceit to achieve personal goals and garner influence and power from systems outside the normal legal flow of buisness or politics. DJT has used…

I am shocked that we are looking at this today. This required Republican Senators’ and Trump cooperation. I am not holding out that they have grown a conscience of course, because lolololol, but nevertheless I am surprised.

Holy shit. They knew better than to erase and destroy the call and transcript, but they thought they could store it on a national security database to keep it secret. Or something. Jesus. Giuliani is fucked. Also, MULTIPLE officials were concerned. Multiple.

100%. They do not serve the people, they serve themselves. Period. They defend the party at all costs to defend their pockets and bottom line. I hope they stick with the sinking ship to the end.

If Senators had term limits, I bet you could get 30...

Heard this bizarre report of a potential strategy by Pelosi to rush into an impeachment vote against Trump on only one count: The Ukraine thing!

“I didn’t think he was quite stupid enough to ask another country to meddle in an election (again)...”

i was going to make a dementia joke, but I just couldn’t find the words.

Exactly. Most narcissistic psychos get tripped up when they get away with too much for so long they get overconfident and sloppy, and Trump is also such a compulsive liar that he can’t remember what he lied about yesterday, so that just compounds the problem.

And let’s remember, and it’s important here, no one leaked anything. This was a legal and formal internal escalation of a whistleblower following the proper procedure that blew up because they stone walled the Intelligence Committee.

Yeah we’d have heard it by now haha. 

“As far as I am concerned, she is no longer Speaker of the House.”

He’s confused that his normal strategy of admitting crimes and telling us all they aren’t crimes isn’t working. Congressional Republicans have been appearing to cooperate because they’ve been banking on the same thing, but it appears Dems and the media at large have finally had enough of that game (hopefully it…

Apparently the White House is now saying they’ll release a redacted version of the whistleblower complaint sometime this week.  Gee, why does this all sound so familiar?  Where are those “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” idiots now?

I’m fully enjoying this because I’ve had so little to enjoy that my joy barometer is broken and this is what happiness and hope feels like now.

We have to go through the intermediate stage of “I said I was going to release the transcript but the evil Democrats couldn’t wait and started impeachment and now on the advice of Rudy I’m not going to release the transcript that clearly exonerates me. NO COLLUSION.” But, you know, all misspelled and with weird…
