I think conviction in the Senate is too much to hope for, but if impeachment proceedings cause all these fascists to eat each other alive, I’m here for it.

I totally agree. As a Hoosier, I can attest that the dude highly disliked even in his own state. On top of that, the dude caves to pressure almost immediately.

Well, this is confirmation as to why he threw Pence under the bus when this first started to break.

This is what has always killed me. At the root of the whole “Actually, I hope Donald Trump stays in office, because Mike Pence would be so much worse” argument, there is the implication that he’s some master of the dark arts of politics. That he’s some chess master who knows how the machine works.

Didn’t think Pence be so fucking stupid.

Also “the lack of burden sharing by European partners”: get the fuck outta here with that noise; European countries have given Ukraine more than twice as many funds to fight Putin’s aggression as the US has. (That’s as ass-backwards as Trump’s incessant sad whining that NATO hasn’t “paid us enough” or however he interp…

“Short, Pence’s chief of staff, said: “The president consistently raised concerns about corruption.”  yeah, he was ALWAYS going on about that.

I’m not sure Barr’s security detail would be allowed in the hearing room.

Yeah. The smart thing for him to do would be the Resign and Pardon two-step with Pence the way Nixon and Ford did - but Trump’s ego could never take that, so he’s going to go the full Slim Pickens in Doctor Strangelove and ride this one in all the way.

You mean the constituents that think Trump didn’t even mention Biden on the Ukraine call? Those constituents?

Reporter: “Will you cooperate?”

look at the plus side - if this gets so ridiculous that the Senate R’s cant ignore it (because their constituents will actually flex their muscles and force them) - we’ll get to see the 1st President forcibly removed from office! because their aint no way Tiny Hands Donny is resigning. Nixon was a crook, but he wasn’t…

Note to Liz – A rousing chorus of “Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up!” at your next rally might just cause the 3am rage stroke we’re all looking for!

What fucking Pelosi should have done when Barr came at her with that smug ‘Where are the handcuffs?’ comment back the first time he committed obstruction.

Don’t leave out this:

Call me crazy, but I’m starting to get the vague sense that we may not be able to just reach across the aisle and reason with these folks.

Put that fucking Sergeant-at-Arms to work, motherfuckers.

Watched the presser with Trump and the Pres of Finland in which Trump pits an absolute fit at the reporters present each time he opens his mouth. He managed to threaten reporters, confirms that anyone who lies in government should be held as treasonous (HA!), and that this is all Paul Ryan’s fault for not sending out…

Republican slogans;

Can confirm, no part of this was taught in North Carolina K-12 schools while I was there. There was some information (with poor context) given on Reconstruction, and then they sort of handwaved a couple decades of state history and suddenly it was the 1920s.
