Previous titles: Impeachment Thread: Donald Trump in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing please try to post about the impeachment of Donald J Trump in this thread, not the primaries, nor the 2020 election, thank you in advance eke out fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Jan 21, 2020 |

eke out posted:So the guy who overheard Sondland's call with Trump has just been officially added: Which means Sondland has to decide on Tuesday night if he's going to change his story (and beg forgiveness for lying to Congress) or hope that Holmes isn't found credible on Thursday - and that things he thinks are inconsequential to lie about don't cause Holmes to realize that something he thought was inconsequential was actually important.

I'll have to subject both my kids to it (or make my husband drive them, hmmmmmm....)

eke out posted:"Since there's going to be literally months more of this poo poo..." Thanks for the thread! Hoping to the random orbs of the Universe that both the orange fecal smear and the rest of us live long enough to see it get hit by one of those tiny orbs only after a conviction in the Senate. Also hoping thread-god eke also posts news links both here and in USPOL, at least when hearings aren't in session.

And we are underway. Should be interesting to watch Republicans question the integrity of a highly respected and decorated veteran in full uniform.

Ehud posted:What is the deal with the "Schiff knows the identity of the whisteblower" sign that the Republicans keep trotting out? He says he doesn't, and nobody has proven they've met. I love that after Republicans used their time so well in the last hearing to read in headlines, Nunes is now using his opening statements to.... read in headlines. And call news organizations puppets. (No puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet.)

"It was with great pride that I swore an oath to defend the Constitution, administered by a personal hero, former secretary of state Condoleeza Rice" == I am not a Democrat (At least, I think that's why Ms. Williams included that in her opening statement; she knows she's been maligned as a Democrat Puppet.)

I'm not sure if it's required, but I'd wear my uniform if I was him. They're almost certainly going to try and smear his name today. Let them deal with the optics of doing so to a purple heart recipient sitting there in uniform.

Wylie posted:Williams is basically providing cover for Pence today, then? Ok. if she was trying to cover i think she'd say more than 'I don't know if he read what I gave him about the call with Zelensky' at least, i think confirming that Pence probably should have known about it, but did his best to not know, doesn't count as covering

When they had friendlier servicemen who were willing to hide stuff they went all in on spending their time talking about their service and thanking them, so it would look bad as a contrast too.
