I'm sorry, did Schiff read the "transcript" (the summary memo) the executive released into the record? Did trump not read that before the executive branch released it? No, he can't read ... did he not have an aide read it to him? I'm sure he could probably get two aides to act it out, even. I mean, I am certain he doesn't remember the call, but just... This is the first time he's actually learning what was in the memo, isn't it? E: I pay my goddam taxes happily.  His name is Kirby and he likes smooshing his face on arm rests. And yes, the orientation is probably messed up. Don't take pictures of your dog and drive, goons Rodenthar Drothman fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Sep 27, 2019 |

so does the president think he's writing l'il but he's an idiot so writes it sorta phonetically but remembers that there's supposed to a hyphen in there and tosses it at the end?

pacerhimself posted:What is the actual claim here? I know it's bullshit without looking it up but specifically, what did Schiff say. At the beginning of the hearing yesterday, Schiff read from the memo the White House released, but he did not read it verbatim. He characterized it as a mob shakedown. There is nothing improper there. Schiff isn’t mandated to be impartial in his opening statement.

trump sure did lead dems right into the impeachment trap,  Rodenthar Drothman posted:I'm sorry, did Schiff read the "transcript" (the summary memo) the executive released into the record? From what I recall yesterday with the DNI, Schiff's recounting of the memo took a little creative license to interpret the contents and I think that is what trump is frothing over.

ewiley posted:The sad thing is this worked in 2016 so he's just going to keep at it. Not to re-litigate, but Dems are going to need an actual messaging to keep pushing this narrative of corruption by Trump and not assume that CNN or NPR will carry water for them or that 'the facts speak for themselves' which they clearly don't. See, to me the reason why this is such a big deal is because there is a bight bright line that he crossed and be easily pointed to unlike the Mueller report. Asking a forcing government to dig up dirt or create a scandal to take out a political rival is such a corrupt move that is easily understandable by a lot of people. Mueller's report while damning has to be explained WHY it's so damning. Here is the narrative does speak for itself, the President is corrupted beyond the point of repair and needs to be replaced. The other difference between now and 2016 is that the President is an actual known quantity now. People (stupidly) thought it was bluster or convinced themselves that he wasn't that bad. You can't say that anymore. Here it is, in the flesh, he is that bad. His approval ratings were abysmal before this, now it's just more proof he sucks. Though, I do agree having a message is good.

Yeah. I'm not trying to be all gloomy or whatever, but it seems unlikely that Republicans won't get their poo poo together and ultimately form of a cohesive message. It's what they do. The fact that they're in chaos right now is good and the fact that Trump is just absolutely losing it is also good, I just don't expect it to last for much longer. It's interesting to see what it takes to really stress the conservative propaganda machine, though.

Just a reminder about why the whistleblower needs protection: It is being reported that the White House knew about the complaint before it finished making its way up the proper chain. This person has been at risk since May and the White House has been laying the groundwork to cover this up and discredit them the entire time. Most likely they already know who it is then, since there are only so many people it could be. It is also possible people who spoke to the whistleblower have already been identified and quietly had their lives ruined. The idea that the American people deserve to know who they are is stupid. They will almost certainly need witness protection at this point.
