Fake time cover, claims of attending the best schools, I don't understand why they would be upset seeing how we have that shining beacon of morality in the oval. I'm mre upset that these people pull it off in the first place. Like doesn't anyone do background checks?

Reminds me of Jim Carville being married to Mary Matalin although I've never been sure how much of a true believer she is.

Not sure why Republicans should be getting free air time on every network to defend their Dear Leader? Let them go on Fox news for that.

AhhYes posted:I wonder if it would be of any service for Schiff to start things out by saying, "this is the investigation, not the trial." No, because you're trying to get Republicans to understand that reality is not their fantasy world. You might as well be trying to explain quantum mechanics to a monkey

so the potential collapse of rule of law in Hong Kong is potentially a huge risk to global markets, but everyone in the west is yawning so far. Would be interesting if sharp market moves coincide with impeachment stuff

They're not going to say anything sensical, and not letting them talk at all gives them a bloody shirt to wave around that people will largely agree with. Honestly Devin Nunes opening his mouth on TV can only be good for Democrats.

mcmagic posted:Can you provide a good reason why they should be allowed to talk? because it's been how every hearing has been done for some 200 years. perhaps you can explain how you think the public will take one side being completely denied all rights to question witnesses. do you imagine that this will make the hearings more legitimate?

mcmagic posted:Can you provide a good reason why they should be allowed to talk? how has any sort of good faith decorum benefited the Dems over the past decade? gently caress them, the independent and low information voters don't care about fairness of questioning time. It's literally just placating the GOP and their diehard voters

The republicans are going to turn it into a circus, but that's our broken system. Hopefully people will understand they have no intention of participating in good faith, but I doubt it.

Yeah, I agree. In fact, why allow them to be seated in the House of Representatives at all? They're just gonna waste everyone's time with stupid grandstanding and conspiracy theories. Do you see why your argument is absurd now?
