Schumer: "We're all staring a White House cover-up in the face"

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday said that a New York Times report on allegations made by former national security adviser John Bolton in his upcoming memoir "essentially confirms" the first article of impeachment against President Trump.
<snip>

"How can Senate Republicans not vote to call that witness, and request his documents," Schumer asked.

"How can Senate Republicans not vote to call that witness and request those documents? We’re all staring a White House cover-up in the face," Schumer continued. - The Hill rag


Call them out more forcefully, but keep calling them out and speaking to the media in hopes it starts to sway minds.

rePuticans are already conceding the conspiracy by this pResident and this ethically bankrupt WH. Keep driving the nail into their coffin.

Blowing it's purulence all over the "Tea party" idiots, having banked so much political capital in their carnival barker?
The level of denial to maintain reverence to bullshit mountain required, well...
This boil has festered far too long without being lanced.

...lose in state races next year, lose in state and federal races in 2022, and so on.

The only thing that will get whatever's left of them to alter course is to lose repeatedly.

They need to be defeated repeatedly and at all levels. Especially in order to see fair redistricting. Then we move towards taking back the judiciary. Set up a fast track for hearing claims of privilege. Add DC and Puerto Rico as states to give us four more senators. And fix the remnants of slavery that remain in the Constitution, like the electoral college.

7. Texas State Legislature is on the 2020 ballot

The entire Texas House and half of the Texas State Senate.

Nine House seats flipped will take the majority which gives us power in the redistricting after the census figures come in. Five of those seats are in Tarrant County (Fort Worth)

Meanwhile, there is a Special Election Runoff going on in Fort Bend County and Beto has basically been camped out down there for the past 4 weeks, blockwalking, and has been joined by other notable Democrats from across the state. Winning this district would be a very good indicator of what could happen in November!

I expect many to hide in the woods for 4-8-12 years - you know "family time". I expect them or their ilk to want to get back on the gravy-train operated by putin-type oligarchs and US plutocrats.
