As I sit here and watch this unfold I think that

if you substituted the clause “Trump, Miller, and Giuliani marched fifty individuals out onto the White House lawn and machine-gunned them with a mounted .50 caliber weapon” for the clause “phoned a foreign leader for a political quid pro quo” you’d hear the same verbiage “FROM BOTH SIDES”

Can’t effing stand it anymore....Rethugs defend anything he does or did, Dems speak in measured, logical tones. Where is the outrage? This is what gets through to people.

Sorry. Just venting.

Generally, we do speak in measured tones, yet we're still accused of being irrational angry and (gasp!) hysterical. Might as well let the venom — and the truth — fly.

That's where the outrage needs to be- the incredible attack truth itself is enduring.
