I tell you what Minnie Me, when your republican cohorts rethink your impeachment vote you can make like a tree and get lost.

one of those hearings and spent the entire day making the RepubliCons look like the horses asses that they indeed are.
This will not be a good look for them (again)!

I know the main argument against it, that elections are term limits, but that's only true if nearly everyone votes. I would gladly say bye to Schumer and Feinstein if it also meant the end of Graham and McConnell...

It’s not going to make any difference as far as the election goes. It’s all banshee screaming to get people not to look at Trump. Yeah, like Trump will be quiet.

It’s not going to do them a lick of good.

they think anyone cares about this stuff right now (aside from people who are already in the cult).

UNLESS they really are so desperate that this is their ONLY play left. They have to keep the MAGAs hooked up to their Fox News IV drips so that they don't start noticing what's going on in the real world around them. That means coming up with political shit for Fox news to shovel.

The GOP have obviously had this investigation or whatever it is planned for ages, and thought it would come off as a powerplay just a few months before the election. Instead it's starting to look more like a rearguard action as they try to stop the bleeding...

They're being so cautious in public on any of the real, serious problems facing the country today -- the pandemic, the economy, police reform, Trump's tyrannical response -- because anything they have to say sounds weak at best.

Instead they're going full speed ahead with "Obamagate," a made-up scandal concocted entirely out of thin air for their Q-loving base.

Their entire campaign is taking place inside the bubble. Surely that's not going to end well for them.

This is when the DOJ will all of a sudden decide to enforce subpoenas at the request of Graham and the GOP Senate.
