(42,770 posts)The "Speaker's on board now are you happy?" It is not personal at all. It's about stopping a monster and getting our FuBarr country back!

(51,611 posts)as he would unfettered. Of course he will still continue to destroy the country since that seems to be his goal (and Putin's). He could even destroy it with more passion once he sees himself slipping down in the polls, sort of like his swan song. We all know he has no love for this country.

(2,410 posts)The inquiry should produce more. The one thing tRump is #1 at is corruption, and it's coming round, finally!

(90,714 posts)...are all freshmen from districts won by Trump -- but they are also veterans with intelligence backgrounds who understand the oaths they took to protect the country and the US Constitution. When they could not take it any more and stepped forward to put their own political careers on the line, Mme Speaker knew she had the critical mass to move on this.

(42,770 posts)Gonna spin this like it's not that big a deal and that Dems overstepped. Per interview- Robert Costa WaPo.

(20,693 posts)The senators probably already know who the low hanging fruit would be: in a gerrymandered district where the go vote wouldn't threaten the senator. Deals are probably being made, quietly. If mcturtle were smart. He'd use this to chuck frump and save his party. Promise a cushy trustee job or two to get a sacrifice and get past it.

(108,980 posts)is that even the House Democrats didn't impeach him. That is, assuming eventually they do so.
And in the meantime it will help them in their Court battles to get documents.

(108,980 posts)than it would if even the Dems in the House wouldn't impeach him.

(3,473 posts)If Republicans want to risk attaching themselves to Trump and refusing to do what is right, so be it. I don't think he is going to gain many new supporters out of this.
