1. I think Adam Schiff is not someone to be trifled with

and I am looking forward very much to seeing him become the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. I think Schiff is someone who could figuratively tear out your spine and beat you to death with it.

[Miles Archer]

14. Agreed...I've been saying this all along.

Bluster and chest-thumping and rampant "alpha male" posturing may have their time and place, but Schiff has no need for any of that.

Still waters still run deep, and those are the people you really look to for results.

This is going to be intense, and Schiff's going to be the one to watch. Let Trump have his fun now. He's got another month and a half and then, as SE Cupp said yesterday (I posed the video in Video & Multimedia), his three-hour work days are going to be coming to an end. "Executive Time" will largely be spent with his attorneys, figuring out how he's going to save his ass.

[Pepsidog]

18. Yes. Schiff is no Devin Nunes, there's a new sheriff in town. Schiff and Waters need to gut Trump

and his cabinet starting with Whitaker and tax returns.

[sprinkleeninow]

49. "Still waters run deep." 👍

[Pepsidog]

17. Let's hope we take the "low road". Schiff should give no quarter to Republican traitors. Investigate

indict and jail these traitorous bastards.

[FakeNoose]

59. Agreed - He has a lot in common with Mueller in that regard

I give him the benefit of the doubt until further notice.

[pangaia]

70. returning actual intelligence to the committee...

[olegramps]

74. I never thought that I would live to see such an appalling display by a president.

He is a disgusting cretin with a cadre of ignoramuses. Just how much longer must we suffer this fool. He attempting to turn the shining city on the hill into a rotten garbage dump and 30% of the his brainless imps jump up and down with glee. If they were the only ones to suffer I could give a damn, but he is taking the entire nation down into the sewer with him and his pack of fools.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

77. I'm old but I hope I live long enough to see Trumpism repudiated and crushed.

The worst thing about it all isn't that Trump is a horrible person; it's that so many people in this country not only voted for but continue to applaud this horrible person because he's horrible.

[sheshe2]

2. Boom!

Bravo.

[Ccarmona]

3. What's Funny is "McShitt"

Now that’s funny. Trump’s lying about Mueller Senate approval, (not required) is not.

[SCantiGOP]

6. Making fun of names

Wasn’t even funny by High School; it had been a riot in Jr High to turn someone’s name into a dirty word. What an idiot.

And while Senate confirmation of a Special Prosecutor is not required, Mueller was of course confirmed when he was named FBI Director.

[Pepsidog]

22. Dems need to come up with strategy to deal with Trump's name calling. We can't go toe to toe

with him in that realm, he is the king of bullies. So we need to dismissively shrug off his name-calling and don’t take the bait. Make him look as stupid as he sounds. Stand up to the bully with intellect and make him look Ike the Buffon he is. I don’t know why the press doesn’t embarrass him by asking him simple civic questions that no doubt couldn’t answer. For example, “Mr. President, how do you square the use of American troops at the border with the Posse Comitatus Act?” Does anyone think Trump knows what posse comitatus means? Embarrass him like the press did to Palin. Show her ignorance

[DeminPennswoods]

27. Just don't feed the troll

that's all. All bullies want attention. Denying them that is the high road.

As for Posse Comitatus, Trump probably thinks it's some kind of sex.

[Pepsidog]

43. Very true

[sprinkleeninow]

51. * a huge ignoramus.

[OMGWTF]

28. THIS!

Traitor Tot is a stupid Bond villain. And we (the world) are lucky AF that he's so incompetent.

[Pepsidog]

45. You right, we would be in bigger trouble if Dumbo had an agenda

[The Wizard]

32. Point at him and laugh (NT)

[Pepsidog]

47. Yes. Years ago, when I was younger, some old guy me off in the car. I was flipping him the bird and

other immature non-sense and the old guy simply pointed to me and laughed. It was very disarming, he was laughing at me while I made a fool out of myself. That was the last time I was ever involved in so-called road rage. Now, when I am the recipient of the bird , I simply point and laugh. Great tactic.

[BigmanPigman]

54. I did that at an anti-tRump rally to the Proud Boys.

The so called "Proud Boys" came to our rally to incite violence. We were too mature to fall for their baiting. I smiled at them and made the "peace sign" with my fingers and it really pissed them off. I loved it!

[tblue37]

55. Just tweet back, "Decorum? Really?" nt

[Thunderbeast]

56. John Boehner got the same treatment

from Randi Rhodes and many others on the left.

Not playing whatabout with this post. I get mad at anyone who uses stupid references about someone's name.

It really does not help anyone's credibility to act like fifth graders.

[Tipperary]

60. Posters do it all the time here and think they are clever.

I always substitute something for 45’s name, but other than that I think it is silly.

[SCantiGOP]

62. It is one of my pet peeves but I don't bring it up

Makes a lot of posts sound like a 6th grader wrote it. Sometimes I'm not even sure whom they are referring to.
"Trump" is enough of a cuss word to me without embellishment.

[handmade34]

19. not funny

disgusting coming from anyone, but especially the "supposed" POTUS.

[NastyRiffraff]

21. It's juvenile

It's the sort of thing you hear in middle school. Trump's form of "humor" is mocking people and calling them stupid names.

[SergeStorms]

63. Has anyone bothered to tell the poor, stupid, asshole.....

that Mueller doesn't need to be confirmed by the Senate (although he already was approved in 2001 as Director of the FBI)? Twitler doesn't seem to realize this, nor do his brain-dead supporters.

[mr_lebowski]

78. And again for his 2-year extension, proposed by Obama at the end of his 10 year

original contract, to continue to serve as the Director of the most Elite law enforcement agency in the World. The one that kept us safe from any major terrorist attacks for 12 years immediately after 9/11 under his Directorship.

IIRC there was not 1 single NO vote, despite the GOP holding the majority in the Senate.

[SergeStorms]

80. I wonder how....

the bald toilet plunger would fair under the same scrutiny? Not well, would be my guess. Thanks for all that info, El Duderino!

[eleny]

4. Perfect!

[jcgoldie]

5. HA HA!

[Shrike47]

7. Ya see, Trumpie, one position requires Senate approval and one doesn't. Constitution thingie.

Read it, you might find things few people knowin there.

[PJMcK]

8. Robert Mueller was confirmed by the Senate

It happened when he became the FBI Director.

Trump is an idiot.

[PeeJ52]

9. After Impeachment...

is there prison time? Please say yes.. This idiot pResident can not be allowed to walk the streets.He is definitely mentally ill.

[malaise]

10. Ha

[Iliyah]

11. I rarely chuckle when it involves shithole

but like Mr. Schiff - that's a good one. Loved his response to - LOL


Got ya . . . . .

[Scurrilous]

12. K&R

[AnotherMother4Peace]

13. Question - Do I need to have a Twitter account to access presidential statements & responses?

I, like so many older Americans, aren't involved in "social media" - no facebook, no twitter, etc, and am rather old school - which is fine with me. That being said, and being "old school" I'm used to taking Presidential statements seriously. I've always assumed they are thought out, and need to be paid attention.

I hope I don't have to sign up for a special account to read presidential statements.

Thanks.

[PeeJ52]

16. Don't Do It AnotherMother...

Social media is anything but social. I tried Facebook twice, but couldn't stand to see the hate from people I used to know that have bought into the Russian propaganda. I like it better where I can choose my forums and who can message me and not be beat up by bots. You can follow tRump's twitter feed on the web, but you can't answer him. He doesn't read responses anyway. He only tweets to piss people off and then runs to laugh at all the angry responses. tRump is just a typical internet troll... not worth the effort.. he'll be gone soon anyway.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

26. Thanks. I doubt I will follow his twitter feed. It's good to know that I don't have to sign up. nt

[DeminPennswoods]

30. No, just click on any of the tweets linked here

search for "donald trump" and a bunch of accounts will pop up. Click on the one you want and read. Or do an internet search for "donald trump twitter" and his account will come up, click on the link and read.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

33. Thanks - that helps.

[Marthe48]

50. I don't use Twitter, but I have an acct.

I wouldn't sign in to read anything trump posts. I do use Facebook and joined 2 groups of Resist Dems, which helps me cope. Like D.U. does.

I've recommended D.U. to people in both groups, but they say theu don't understand how it works. So I guess we all have our preferences.

[D23MIURG23]

15. This is why it is dangerous to pick fights above your weight class.

Fat boy dump can't hang with anyone who has more than half a brain.

[LakeSuperiorView]

29. Literally, Shut the Fuck up Donny, you're out of your league.

[ashling]

20. I wish that Schiff had made mention of the obvious fact that

Trump was acting like a 6 year old.

Also in the way he always gives himself an A+ on his performance.

Some here of a certain age will remember handwritten report cards. Some kids - so I am told - would actually change a F - to an A+ before showing it to their parents (even using a different color ink).

[LonePirate]

23. Schiff should have responded by guaranteeing 45's name would be spelled correctly on the subpoenas.

[ismnotwasm]

24. K&R

[OMGWTF]

25. OMG! WTF?

[libdem4life]

31. In the Twitter fight, Trump brought a knife, but Schiff brought a gun.

The old saying...you don't take a knife to a gunfight. Bravo, Chairman Schiff, intelligent, mature and cogent response to The Cretin.

[machoneman]

34. A tiny knife at that!

Mushroom tip too!

[libdem4life]

35. You beat me with the follow up to your title...great minds, and all. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

48. He brought a plastic spork, and Schiff has a grenade launcher.

[sprinkleeninow]

53. The honorable Schiff brings his sling-shot of intelligence, savvy and strength.

* brought his worn out, threadbare jock le strap. 😯

[LuvLoogie]

36. I'm going with a top aide wrote it. Punctuation.

I think he signed off on it, though. I predict his twitter feed will be used as incriminating evidence in some cases, but he will claim a hacked phone, or an aide wrote it. I think Steven Miller may be behind some of the more petulant tweets. Kelly Anne may be about to snap, too.

[jaysunb]

37. "little Adam Schiff " ???

The man is over six feet tall. smh

[certainot]

40. that's what limbaugh calls him, along with pencil necked schiff or something like that

[nolabear]

42. It doesn't say "Schiff." Look again.

[czarjak]

38. Yes, Don...

Poke that one. Hard!

[rurallib]

39. the funny part is that Schiff will probably win in the end

now that is funny - beating the bully!

[nolabear]

41. Incredible. He now assumes he can say anything.

And the evangelicals, the supposed Christians, the butter-wouldn't-melt-in-their-mouths politicians won't bat an eye.

What a primitive, disgusting, stupid man.

[mastermind]

44. I wish they would stop calling that insult to humanity Mr president

call him tiny from now on.

[sprinkleeninow]

46. "Good things come in little (small) packages!"

David v. Goliath.

Bring it, schlumpy....

[zentrum]

52. Schiff 2020!

[orangecrush]

57. HE HAS LOST HIS MIND!

I can't believe I'm actually reading this.

It boggles the mind.

[LakeArenal]

58. Adam Schiff towers over Trump in everything.

No matter how “little” Dump thinks he is.

[lindysalsagal]

61. Genius. Pure genius.

[George II]

64. Remember the crusty old, relentless DA in the long-running Law and Order show?

Seems like he always won. His name was Adam Schiff!

This Adam Schiff isn't crusty or old, but he's just as relentless as his namesake on the old television show.

[dalton99a]

65. .

[Rhiannon12866]

71. Good one! I cannot believe these words come from a President of the United States...

[Cha]

66. SHRED, too.. for the WIN!

[liberalla]

68. Definitely!

SHRED for the win!

I hope Adam Schiff has seen it .

[Chipper Chat]

67. Adam SchiFF re.inds me of Adlai Stevenson.

In both looks and intelligence. Trumpie better beware.

[MontanaMama]

69. I've said it before and it bears repeating...

SHRED, you are a treasure.

[SHRED]

73. Thank you

That was kind of you.

[UpInArms]

You know, this fucking guy...I did stuff like that in the 4th grade.

What the hell?

[raging moderate]

79. No, Trump et al will be up Schiff's Creek.

Reality bites harder than TV.
