So far, the GOP has tried to sound forceful in their desperate defense of him, but... they just sound so TIRED. I don’t think they have the energy left to pay the piper.

Yes, that’s big too. People can see it happening now, in realtime. We have a live timeline going on, and if there’s one thing we drooling masses love, it’s having a cliff-hanger to follow.

YASSSSS PRINCIPAL. :>

LOL! That would be SO juicy!!

Exactly— “abuse of the title” was the crux of what the founders were getting at.

They’ll try, but everyone will laugh at them! Sending your private lawyer & your AG to do the work of the State Department is a no-no. Privilege doesn’t even enter into it.

Well, as we see in the transcript, Trump KNEW Giuliani was doing that, because he sends Zelenskiy to Giuliani for exactly that. So! No, Trump will utterly fail at plausible deniability & distance. This is really quite the smoking gun, or, at any rate, a gun spread out across 8 phone calls and a whistleblower…

Exactly. “Totally exonerated”, I believe is the shorthand for that phenomenon....

I fucking well hope so... I have low expectations of anybody who remains “undecided” at this point in history, but if this’ll do it for them, good.

“NOOO! SHE SAID IT AGAIN!!”

I hate how loudly I laughed at this. xD

I believe yesterday was what they call an inflection point. Everything was exactly the same as before, until— suddenly it wasn’t. It wasn’t time before, and now it’s time.

Hah! Right? The right wing in general tends to think (going back to Nixon) that “high crimes and misdemeanors” MUST include an actual crime, i.e. the violation of a statute in the Criminal Code. The Founders, however, wrote this shit up before the US had established a criminal code. So!! *bzzzzt* Thanks for playing,…

Absolutely! This is just the amuse-bouche. We haven’t even gotten all the appetizers out yet. It’s gonna be hard to be patient.

Eat your Wheaties, kids, ‘cause it’s gonna be a rough-- ohhh, wait, kids today don’t DO cereal, right? Or milk?

You’re supposed to click on the sound of her triggered screams emanating from the date-stamp, I think.

I mean, shit, are all millennials such complete pussies?

Why do you click on Hillary Clinton articles at all if she triggers you so badly? Just let somebody else handle the news. You go have a nice lie-down in the nap pod.

I hope he DOES take them down with him-- they’re the other crooks heading up this whole Ukrainian operation! Jesus, but Barr needed to be impeached back when he fucked up the Mueller Report, and Giuliani’s needed to be in prison for even longer than that.

Giuliani has become Trump’s de-facto personal Ambassador & Secretary of State for Ukraine... It took me a good hour to gather the bits of my jaw off the floor after reading how deep and how rotten it goes.
