I'm genuinely shocked that the R team had NO plan for this. Like, I didn't think it'd happen but "Sondaland flips on everyone" has been a possibility for weeks now.

They had a several hour head start though, didn't they? The news that Sondland was going to flip broke hours before the hearing. They couldn't have at least slapped something together in that time?

The plan is always the same. Throw enough utter nonsense against the wall that their chuds and GOP Senators have a fig leaf to keep supporting Trump. it's a really low bar to clear.

I know that the republicans are all scumbags, but I'm really not used to seeing them say these things into a camera. It seems incredibly dodgy for Nunes to be talking about how unethical it is for Hunter Biden to be making money while his father served in US government given how they treat Trump. Like, how can anyone hear that and not just laugh in his face?

Hypocrisy is only an issue when the hypocrite has a non-R letter next to their name.

Earlier I was recapping Sondlands testimony to a coworker when another who’s a huge Trump supporter came over and started going on and on about Hunter Biden. The idiot masses are absorbing the Republicans conspiracy bullshit pretty well.

Trump diehards are less than 30% of voters and less than 20% of the adult US population. It literally doesn't matter what these people think. The GOP strategy here is idiotic

I can't get into that head space, but there's really not a lot to work with here for them. They're spinning wheels for 45 minutes.

I'm almost sure Schiff will give himself some redirect time just so they have to have a surprise part 2 of the Nunes and Cantor Show again.

More trash for the trash fire

quote:

this hearing reminds me that, again and again, investigators aiming for Trump have come up against the reality that the president doesn’t text or use email. It all boils down to what someone remembers about conversations with him or their interactions with a person who seems to be serving as Trump’s proxy, like Giuliani.

president boomer's best defense is that he doesn't generate paperwork.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

The phrase 'ASAP Rocky' is apparently what jogged Sondland's 'fogotten' memory, so there's been a few veiled references to his 'forgetfulness' and this phrase.

Someone else will have to fill in for what ASAP Rocky was code for - I have no idea
