no mr. armstrong is just going through a bunch of conspiracy theories about the obama administration. It always seems like conspiracy theories are what the right wing has and they basically have their base believing some of the wildest things.

This was less true in the past, Fox used to just spin news, but now that Trump has provided them with so much that's unspinnable, they have to lean into conspiracy theories.

i find it funny when the GOP says "they are just trying to nullify the votes of 63 million people." the reality is that 65 million people voted for hillary

Any place keeping track of who's spoken/hasn't? Basically hope someone is doing the legwork so I don't have to for myself.

Jim Jordan bothers the hell out of me just because I konw he could have saved some young men some abuse by speaking up. He chose not to and now I have to listen to him gaslight and carry on.

Protip: turn it off. It's 100% meaningless grandstanding and will be for a while. If you want to catch the actual vote it'll be on C-SPAN's YouTube channel.

It's why they're mad about Devin Nunes being exposed. In a more sensible world at least one Republican would be appalled that one of their own was working with a criminal. But since they're all in on the grift or are covering up their own crimes they are more mad that he got caught and instead insinuate it's some sort of conspiracy to make Devin Nunes look bad (when really, Nunes doesn't need anybody's help to do that). Granted I don't know beyond Nunes, Jordan, and Gaetz who has actually committed any sort of crime here (Dealings with Parnas, covering up rape, and DUIs respectively), but it's really easy to believe all this bloviating is because all of the Republicans worry that they could next be the one with their careers under the microscope.

The minority hearing is not necessary. It is only to bring things up to muddy the waters. Biden and Burisma have nothing to do with it. It is basically just so they can polish a turd that is trump's actions.

"This is about conscience, the conscience of the nation, the conscience of my friends on the other side of the aisle do you believe that we shoiuld allow this to go unaddressed, what the president did? because we are a country of precedent, rule of law, norms, traditions, are we going to allow the violation of our norms and precedent?" sorry Mr. Johnson I think we are, in fact, going to allow it, because the Senate is, in fact, going to refuse to remove this president. and then Sensenbrenner launches into Biden biden biden burisma biden bidurisma bidenisma whatever

Yeah it is just upsetting. Its almost like they know that they have nothing so they are grasping to bring up anything that could change the narrative.
