ManBoyChef posted:I read the mueller report and I was really under the impression that it would sink trump, what with firing comey and saying it was because of the russia thing. Im hoping this doesnt turn into a wet fart like the emoluments, mueller report It has legs because it's really easy for the public to digest, and there was public vocal movement against centrist dems on the edge of impeachment in general. This is absolutely different than every other major scandal - not in the sense of its enormity and criminality, but in the sense that the public can grapple with it from a 4 minute radio blurb in the car or 10 minute news report before bed. It's very cut and dry.

the dems were very bad at highlighting obstruction and what "if i could've exonerated him i would have" actually meant.

So now house and senate folks have read the full whistleblower report, and tomorrow we hear from the DNI about why it was kept from them to begin with. Meanwhile, Ukraine is all but confirming they were strong armed, and a potential second front is opening up re meddling in tax audits. Its officially Infrastructure Week!!

unrelated to today's news but another officer that should've been charged with a crime will not be:quote:The encounter in the Corona warehouse store spanned just 3.8 seconds.

Report on how House Democrats turned it up from 3 to 11 in support of impeachment: Why the House Democratic Caucus Was Able to Move So Rapidly Toward Impeachment "Then Monday night, six of the most vocal opponents of impeachment, the type Raskin was referring to at last week’s meeting, published a joint op-ed in the Washington Post, calling for impeachment proceedings to begin: The authors, all front-line freshmen, included Spanberger, Slotkin, Gil Cisneros of California, Houlahan, Luria, and Sherrill. (Jason Crow of Colorado also signed, but he had previously come out in support of impeachment.)" All from purple states, who had been holding out against impeachment until the initial poo poo hit the turbine and they wrote an oped (no WAPO sub so straight link): https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/09/24/seven-freshman-democrats-these-allegations-are-threat-all-we-have-sworn-protect/

I still can't believe that 4 hours later the only statements we've seen from Republicans who have seen the full report are three saying "troubling." That's nuts. Feels big to me. Under normal circumstances they'd be doing what Graham did this morning.

Dubar posted:The talk of parallels to Nixon ITT inspired me to revisit watergate through the eyes of Hunter Thompson. Tons of good stuff of course but this is relevant: The thing is, I feel like this relates to what other goons were talking about w/r/t Mueller; the investigation for Mueller took for-e-ver, banged on the same points over and over, summarizing it took ages and new developments required following the convoluted thing from the start, et cetera.The Nixon hearings were the same way in that they took ages to fully unravel and there was all the fighting over getting the tapes, chasing down corroboration, etc. Even Billy C's thing was annoying because it got so raunchy and relied a lot on "what did he say or not say". But here? While I doubt we can keep this pace up for too much longer, it definitely seems like we haven't nearly heard everything yet, and so long as there's at least one spicy new revelation a week for a while, The Donny Trump Show is going to become the hottest hour of TV in town for everybody. Seeing the Democrats actually do poo poo is going to energize both ends of the base significantly and generate goodwill that more stuff will happen if the Dems win it all in 2020, so it's a grand slam for them and there's no reason not to do it. And Trump's always been good at drawing in crowds, but with his dementia clearly progressing by the day and no way to actually rein him in, it's not actually doing to do the Republicans who are just career cowards and hitched their saddle to fascism for an easy ride any good when the horse goes totally wild.

Haven't there been times where huge stories dropped and Republicans all went silent for a while? Tomorrow morning will be the measuring stick for me, IMO. In other instances they pulled all nighters and then hit the morning shows as a united front with talking points. If they're still silent tomorrow morning... it's REAL bad.

So Trumps first attempt to speedrun Nixon’s impeachment ended up sputtering into nothing but this second run is on world record shattering pace if we date the start of it to the first phone call back in May. How long was it between the watergate breakin and the House beginning impeachment inquiries? Because were at 4 months right now.

They were playing around with talking points (the one they accidentally emailed to Dems this AM) but after the report hit the Intel Committees in the Senate and Congress, they've gone dead silent other than a few stunned "This isn't good" responses. Its bad enough that even known strong GOP members are spooked.

Well yes, but so much has happened since even then. We'll see what tomorrow morning's response is. Speaking of which... do you think they're desperate enough to dust off Kellyanne Conway and put her in front of cameras tomorrow?

The break in was Jan of 1972, the select committee was established in Feb of 1973. So yeah Trump's splits are crazy good, a combination of luck and some new tech discovered by the Crimes community.
