basically Schiff can have as many rounds as he wants, and when it was clear that there was still more to do after the first 45 minutes, he did another set. the minority knows that this is a possibility (or maybe they legit don't, they're very stupid)

They are fully aware of the rules and proceedings. They are just putting on a show because they know their only chance of salvaging this shitshow is to generate enough sound bites that they can retain some measure of public support.

i'm pretty sure goldman has made an extremely compelling case that he should be appointed US Attorney for SDNY in 2021, or the head of some DOJ division, or basically whatever he wants that isn't AG

Because the AG basically always leaves when the admin turns over or because he's too good at cutting to promote to butcher supervisor?

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

I'm sure the judge will find that to be a compelling argument for when you don't offer the cop a big enough bribe to turn the other way.

Schiff "magically" gave himself an extra 15 minutes. Schiff shot him down saying it was part of the stated procedure. My guess is that the minority wasn't informed they would get an extra 15 minutes so Nunes was miffed that they couldn't prepare better.

Otherwise it's just trying to redirect by saying these were democrat witnesses (they aren't), and that the GOP wasn't allowed their own witnesses (untrue).

Yeah gently caress the democrat witnesses. Like jesus the lies are so blatant I think Im stroking out. I know why schiff is just ignoring it because the news outlets will review this nonsense but I swear Im smelling burnt toast and tasting copper.

i just mean he's probably not experienced enough to be in a super high profile top political position like A.G. but he obviously should be given whatever prominent prosecutor job he wants

They are fully aware of the rules and proceedings, because they came up with them, fully expecting to be using them to disadvantage Democrats, and for some reason the shoe pinches an awful lot now that it's on the other foot!

I think they're just scrounging for crumbs. There's some non-zero chance that the whistleblower once "liked" a tweet 5 years ago that was tangentially related to something vaguely left-leaning so they can just run the "WHISTLEBLOWER IS A RADICAL LEFTIST ANTIFA!" bullshit into the ground.

I really don’t understand these guys testimony. It seems like first they agree with whatever the Democrats are saying, and then a CHUD like Jim Jordan will get up there, and they will agree with whatever he says. How can they talk out of both sides of their mouth like this?

Yeah, the Republicans know full well that no matter what is said in these hearings, the American public has the memory of a goldfish and the Senate will vote over lunch to acquit as soon as the case moves over there.

In the American mind, acquit=innocent so all the Republicans need is 5 second clips of them looking mad to play during the election cycle. That's all they are doing.

I think endgame is everything gets pinned on Sondland. Sondland is a billionaire, so he just fucks off to the land of gold toilets.

Why are the Rs focusing so much on talking about TV ratings? Nearly every time they get a turn they are hammering on the fact that the ratings are low. Who gives a poo poo? It’s not an entertainment program. Or I guess to them everything is?
