(13,110 posts)Vile evil republicans.
They are the greatest threat this country has ever faced.
Bipartisanship with these evil people is impossible.
They are the enemy.

(17,634 posts)Yet these people expose themselves and their hypocrisy for the whole world to see, not to mention becoming a permanent footnote in history, one that represents the lies and corruption of the Trump presidency. Nice legacy to leave one's grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Heresay, when the principle players have been prevented from appearing to give testimony, is vital here. Democrats prove the point of obstruction of Justice and of Congress at the same time.
The Republicans have no choice but to look like fools.

Years from now when we find out we were lied to, i certainly hope we are in a better place than we are now.
Look at the headlines today:
We have been lied to about Afghanistan.

Berke is going through the "minority report" that was drafted by Castor.

Except now I've read all of it and these a-holes are still whining out of order and omg.
Castor's plaintive "It's just not fair" has me rolling again nvm.

(25,982 posts)now he is on the hot seat and squirming. These slides are great. They are giving him no room to lie outright.
He's reduced to, "I guess you're right."
I love counsel's "Sir, you'll have an opportunity to talk about [Volker] when the Minority questions you." Zing!

I'd like to send a 'thank you' of some kind to Daniel Goldman.
Bayard
(22,128 posts)Doesn't even give Goldman a chance to answer before starting to yell again. Complaining about Goldman refusing to answer something? That's a laugh! Goldman is there to testify, how many rethugs have refused subpoenas.
But now Castor is allowed to hold forth again.

(Goes like this, So you're telling me, Schiff is the Chairman of the Intelligence Committee? If you're telling me that, then the pResident cannot be guilty. Mannity & friends will fill in the rest, tonight on fox gnus. The defense rests.)
