If they want to try this thing in the court of public opinion... Give it to them.

I agree 100%

Expose the madness from the right.

Hell fire, the witnesses can't even be forced under subpoena to even appear, much less testify under oath.......

it will just be more of the same - the Republicans giving sound bites to Fox News and ranting and raving how the Democrats are unfair

The one overriding fact is - nobody wants to have to admit they were wrong.

Nobody wants to own up. And recognize openly that they were wrong. Especially when most of ‘em have made bank on standing firm on their cockamamie “belief” in all the bullshit. They’ve stood firm arguing with their neighbors, arguing on TV, arguing in Congress, putting their names and faces and reputations large and small - on this. And there’s really no easy way to save face. It’s hard to admit you were wrong. Nobody likes it. Nobody really wants to. And now, there are jerks like Rick Perry bringing God into it. Kinda hard to collapse that crazy-in-the-head construct when you’ve gone around all over everywhere claiming that God willed this.

They’re clinging to this alternate world for dear life.

This is the ultimate “Wish Sandwich.” As they said in “The Blues Brothers,” a “Wish Sandwich” is where “you have two pieces of bread and you WISH you had some meat.” It’s not there, but you can wish it was, all day long. And somehow, magically, it becomes true!

But in the end, no matter how hard you wished or how fervently you believed, it turns out you still didn’t have any meat. None. Not even a micron’s worth.

As the saying goes, “facts are stubborn things.”

How simple it would be to tell Mitch, Nunes etc pop off at the mouth one more time with Russian talking points and it’s game on.

Hollywood's been doing it for more than a century. So has Wall Street. Delusion is a form of social control. Abe Lincoln did it. Freedom meant a different thing to common folk than to his backers, the northern manufacturers and railroad barons he did business with. Something similar is going on here, in modern times. We're being duped into submission so they can steal everything. It's probably about the value of the US Dollar, but hell, what do I know.

Keep Nunes sitting there and listening. Keep a video camera focused on him. Watch for the cringe tells. Who's lying who is not.

F**k him is he can't take a joke. As my drill sergeant used to say.

ardently. And Fox will be happy to blow it all out of proportion

that there should be truth and reconciliation trials of a sort to go one after the elections because it's going to take a while to get all these criminals to trial. So I agree with the concept, though it will take time. We need to get the impeachment/removal over with then we can go deeper into the sewer to clean it out. Those assholes will still be out there after we decapitate this russian monster, we need to extinguish it as completely as possible.

The people might lose faith in their government.

But which group should take it up? Intelligence or Oversight?

Dems don't need to give russian propaganda credence. half of its effectiveness is making flibberdigibbet voters tune out and push the "both sides" button.

besides, the GOP has the Senate. we're getting this bullshit whether we want it or not.

Trump's cult is impervious to facts. The only hope would be if there are enough people who voted for Trump but are not Cult45 who could be convinced by the truth.

Is there a Conspiracy Theory Committee?

I’m all for it. Fuck them. Dems are way too staid and nice. I say when they go low kick the everliving fucking shit out of them

It would be delay, delay, delay to the Nth degree.
