  • Unreal. Biden’s son can take home $1m a year from a Ukrainian company he knows nothing about...but our president acts like the CEO of a company with leverage in cutting deals and this shit happens?

The intelligence of Republican reps is inversely proportional to the redness of their district.

Man, Turley is as bad as the "scientists" Exxon trots out that say, "the best thing for the environment is to drill for oil.  All the animals in the world love when humans are drilling and fracking.  It's the best thing for them and the land".

Who knew Adlai had that in him.

 

 

Man, there are just way too many brown people asking questions for the Dems. 

Oh snap, Karlan puts it right back on the Republican committee members.

Not that facts matter, but Zelensky was elected on an anti-corruption platform.  If ANYTHING, less scrutiny would be warranted, not more.

Most politicians do. Zelensky does have close ties with Ihor Kolomoyskyi, who, yeah, is probably a mobster.  And it's not like Z has a strong resume of fighting crime.  He was a TV star on Kolomoyski's TV station playing the President.  Like Trump, his resume consisted of pretending to be someone important. 

But, the consensus view of the intelligence community and the State department was that Z was someone that was a move in the right direction for fighting corruption.  And Lev/Igor had approached Kolomoyski seeking assistance in digging up dirt on Biden.  Kolomoyski, unlike Firtash, told them to fuck off.  So it's not like the anti-Biden coalition of morons was particularly concerned about Kolomoyski's checkered past. 

It might be a reasonable defense of Trump's actions if Trump had done anything, literally anything, to indicate he was worried about corruption and Zelensky.  There were no inquiries to State or the CIA.  He didn't announce concerns to Congressional committees.  It wasn't mentioned to the OBM, so it wasn't noted in the Congressional notifications on the delay of funds.  He didn't even mention the concern to Z on either of the phone calls, except outside of the very specific concerns about Burisma and Crowdstrike, which there are no indications Z had connections to. 

 

how can Turley say with a straight face that there haven't been witnesses with direct knowledge of Trump's improper demands of Ukraine???

outrage

Has anyone raised the fact that Turly’s argument against impeachment is only there because the WH is obstructing anyone with 1st hand knowledge  from testifying?

"Process is essential to the institution."

So, for instance, the process of considering a duly nominated judge for SCOTUS?  The process of issuing Congressional subpoenas and having them honored?  Those kind of processes?

Fuck off, Rep Roby.

No and I don't know why the fuck not.

Or fail to take a negative inference regarding those who refused to testify?

This is why I am wondering why someone isn't trying to hammer him?  I realize the old saw about not asking a question on cross if you don't know the answer, but you have three other lawyers there who will be able to counter whatever he says if you have to go there.

Why don’t the dem’s engage the repub witness. 

You have to go straight at him. That’s the only way. Destroy him.

Or challenge him on evidence...as in there were people with direct knowledge of what happened who testified

This is actually smart on their part. You usually have to give people visuals to persuade them but often technology comes off as too slick. 

It helps when you’re not corrupt assholes though like the republicans. 

This is true for a jury.  Not sure any of it holds true for this venue.

you know how i know gaetz is as compromised as graham and jordan and trump?

the volume of and outrage in his voice.

What did she say this time?

i liked this one- "The Constitution doesn’t allow titles of nobility," she said. "The president can name his son Barron, but he can’t make him a baron."

 

 

haha, gaetz propensity to self-own...jesus.

i know his audience is one massive orange hobgoblin, but he looks like a complete asshole to the rest of us. 

but that russian nra money though

Gaetz: 'I get to interrupt you, you don't get to interrupt me.' 

Scumbag. More hysterical, panting, ranting. 

Karlan is gonna beat the shit out of Gaetz behind the dumpster.

EDIT:  that said, the rest of the Dems need to direct questioning to diffuse this bullshit and slay Turley while they're at it.

the idea that "you don't get to impeach him because you really want to impeach him" as some sort of convincing argument is comical.

by the way, turley posture and smug facial expression tell me all i need to know about his motivations.

I’m in Congress.

No shame at all.  Talks about the facts being in dispute, and then only mentions procedural issues, not facts. 

What level of hell did Dante say these guys go to again?

Mike Johnson is one smarmy ass. He’s the bad guy from every 80’s movie involving a country club

I trade stocks so my day is over by 10am.

Senator Lindsey Graham already said he's voting to acquit Trump and will do so without looking at any of the evidence against him.
