(34,469 posts)They all fill their Depends?
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)and I think they want to get it finished and voted out tonight. The tentative schedule for next week suggests that the Impeachment debate/vote for the full House will be next Wednesday.
spooky3
(34,469 posts)have the patience and stamina.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)and looks like he is about to keel over.
kag
(4,079 posts)How about talking to Barr about that?
Mersky
(4,986 posts)BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)and how to handle "abuse" and used an "English practice" (common law) and how that applied to handling abuses of power.
kag
(4,079 posts)Fucking Ken Starr.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)it had nothing to do with the Presidential duties.
She's now excoriating the GOP.
This is about REAL abuse of power!
crickets
(25,983 posts)to avoid admitting Trump's guilt and the need to impeach. I really like her.
Muting Gohmert now omg...

(4,079 posts)I hate him. If I was still living in the district I grew up in he would be my congressman.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)and they neglect the fact that Page was on the phone with Russians - Russians who were being monitored NOT him but HE was on the other end of the line.
And now we bring you classic -
Drum
(9,196 posts)but now (10:27pm) he seems to have caught a second--delusional and inflammatory--wind.
Unbelievable p.o.s.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)The President is an imminent threat.
Clinton impeachment came 72 days after the inquiry happened.
Congress has the Constitutional right to obtain documents form the Drumpf Administration. Openly stonewalling and in some respects, an outright cover-up.
Hoyt
(54,770 posts)brought by Obama. These A-wipes are ignorant.
PA Democrat
(13,225 posts)He brags about when he "sat on the bench" and I had to laugh. He served as a local district magistrate for a short time, but he made it sound like he sat on the Supreme Court. A district magistrate does not have to be a lawyer, in fact they need not have ANY legal training or experience.
Someone needs to tell the little bootlicker that the only president who interfered in the military justice system was HIS boy Trump when he pardoned war criminals.
Hoyt
(54,770 posts)Its kind of like Doug Collins in my state. He went to an unaccredited law school and some back-woods, white wing seminary. Freakin idiot, but ignorant white wingers think hes something.
Progressive Jones

(129,414 posts)She is ticking off all the legislation that they passed today and last week. We are here to deal with the abuse of power and obstruction of justice. Don't confuse the American people with conspiracy theories.
crickets
(25,983 posts)BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)A bunch of Democrats have mentioned that legislation.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)Now reviewing the FACTS.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Instead you wanted to call ones that were not germane to the questions at hand, and were chosen in order to further smear political opponents.
And your wannabe-king-tyrant-manbaby, tRump, blocked all other fact witnesses aside from those who did testify.
And of all the projecting junk, gocart, what tRump was trying to do to Hunter Biden by extorting Ukraine was more along the lines of being Stalin-esque. Bleh.
(Eh, I'm posting this like ten minutes late.)
SamKnause
(13,110 posts)What is the point if no one is saying anything new or of importance ???
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)and they (GOP) are doing it to delay and distract.
crickets
(25,983 posts)I guess they could go on all night, but what's the point? Eventually, a vote on the articles will take place.
SamKnause
(13,110 posts)I have been watching all day and still watching at this moment.
Both sides have repeated the same thing over and over.
It goes without saying that the Democratic members are trying to get out the facts.
It goes without saying that the Republican party lies, makes up conspiracy theories and
tries to rewrite history.
They are disgusting, vile, and evil.
They are the greatest threat this country will ever face.
They are the enemy of everything good and decent.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)Now he's lying about "every President has done this'.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Despite his speedy and winding protestations spiked with misplaced concern and self-gratulatory flourishes.

Came in to "clean up the swamp and is drowning in one now".
crickets
(25,983 posts)and how they cannot point out his corruption without fear of retribution.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)Insulted that this Committee is the work of those who dislike Drumpf.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)"Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me".
Looking at a pattern of conduct - using a "rap sheet".
President is a "repeat offender".
Mersky
(4,986 posts)A refreshing reality check that was.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)Cicilline - summarizing the testimonies and other evidence showing the President's effortto use powers of office to attempt to achieve his own objective.
greyl
(22,990 posts)crickets
(25,983 posts)it's unconscionable for the Senate and the president to coordinate strategy this way. The blatant conflict of interest and disregard for legal norms is appalling.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)The GOP has spent all day arguing "process".
Describing McConnell's words this morning about how to do the trial - McConnell will be coordinating with the President's lawyer - and THAT is a true process issue. The Jury is coordinating with the defendant.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)Telling public to go directly t the evidence - the testimony, the text messages, and President's own word inviting Russia, Ukraine and China into our election.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)by court order but they were heavily redacted. She entered that into the record.

(129,414 posts)REPEATING that the Intelligence Committee did not subpoena the records of any member of Congress. (re: MOO MOO).
Attended the inauguration because wanted to watch the "peaceful transition of power".

(129,414 posts)She and the rest of the new D members on that committee (and there are a bunch) have been amazing!
Mersky
(4,986 posts)nor sh*t. And so, we all have to suffer.
(On edit: Wasnt expecting it to wrap so quickly after I posted this, and didnt want to leave a bleeping expletive in the subject line towards the end of this day of threads. Fixed it.)
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)or the will pay a price. They are held hostage by their lunatic party.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Pressure from party leadership, ego, too much koolaid, or kompromat? Whatever the case may be, Im still shocked how far theyre willing to go to protect tRump.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)I remember way back when Bob Bennett (R-UT) was running again for his Senate seat in 2010 and got primaried by the crazy Mike Lee. 2010 was the year that started the threats across GOP-world and many "less crazy" Republicans lost their seats and those who were left (like Orrin Hatch) literally did a Jeckyll/Hyde transformation into the loonosphere in order to keep their seats.
Mersky
(4,986 posts)It all struggles to add up to whats the freaking point? Keep giving-in to the hostage takers in the party? Hand the country over to dictatorial rule?

Anyways, BumRush, you are golden. If I could, Id hand you a pack of frozen peas for your super typing hands. Thank you for your dogged and smart work/much needed hilarity today.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)so they have a tendency towards a "herd mentality" and are generally cowardly... finding strength in their lockstep numbers. They can't operate with independent thought.
And thank you for the kudos. I am WAY past my bedtime but this is a historic time and trying to watch it in "rerun" just doesn't have the immediacy of the surprises that often get edited out when replayed.

BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)Collins is whining about "blowing up schedules" (I bet they were probably expecting to go home early tomorrow).

nolabear
(41,991 posts)PA Democrat
(13,225 posts)If they held the vote tonight the Republicans would have accused the Democrats of holding the vote in the darkness of night to ram it through. Now they claim the Democrats want to delay for prime time viewing (who knew 10:00 a.m. was prime time).
crickets
(25,983 posts)tomorrow morning, then they shouldn't have messed around wasting time for hours tonight. What did they think was going to happen? Screw their petty schedules; nothing is more important than voting on articles of impeachment.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)versus late night ET. So most of the public will be able to see it (it will probably take time for their final debate tomorrow before the vote).
crickets
(25,983 posts)This late at night really was not appropriate. Smart of Nadler to push the vote to tomorrow. If it inconveniences the whiners, too bad!
nolabear
(41,991 posts)is not the best look.
Kali
(55,019 posts)BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)If the GOP had stopped extending the debate and adding all those bullshit amendments, then they could have been done earlier this evening.
So now they have to wait until tomorrow morning.
What did Mulvaney say? "Get over it".
Hermit-The-Prog
(33,413 posts)GOPers should have their weekend plans disrupted for the circus they forced on everyone tonight.

(4,220 posts)seeing Collins and his followers stomping and complaining. They dragged it out and now they suffer. I dont object to seeing them suffer.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)although I think a lot of what Collins does is all an act. Loopy Gohmert on the other hand, was probably pissed.

(22,990 posts)They'll (Trump GOP'll) reliably make hay out of a breadcrumb, so might as well go big against them without kowtowing.
Edit: CNN just now reporting Dems realized GOP was trying to drag vote to middle of night, so outsmarted them.
BumRushDaShow
(129,414 posts)What did Mulvaney say? "Get over it. Elections have consequences".
Remember when Issa cut the mic off after abruptly adjourning the Oversight hearing for Lois Lerner when Elijah Cummings was trying to finish up?
Zorro
(15,749 posts)so he'd be bitching about delaying the vote whether he was consulted or not.
