when I loaded up the C-Span stream the thumbnail was Vindman giving Nunes a very "oh it's this clown" look. Given that Nunes has decided to continue on with his talking points despite the facts given, it seems apt.

Strange Poon posted:when trying to out the whistleblower did Nunes try and say because Vindman is claiming he doesn't know the whistleblower then he can't say for sure that he doesn't know who the whistleblower isn't? I was very confused by that whole line of questioning lol I essentially think Nunes was trying to say "you can't possibly out the whistleblower since you don't know who they are, so just give me some names". Which probably would've led to those people being harassed even if they weren't the whistleblower. So yes.

The GOP literally have no new questions, this sounds like the exact same questions posed to Taylor, Kent, and Yovanovich. Like, I've never seen people so committed to a narrative that is obviously false since Baghdad Bob.

Oh good yet another day of having to correct this stupid as gently caress lie of a timeline re: Burisma, Biden, and Bribes. EDIT: Like, I know visual aids are more the GOP's thing but I wish someone on the D side would just bring in a timeline chart of what actually happened and make it like 10x the size of the GOP posters.

Strange Poon posted:i wish he had that much of a conscious If anybody in the GOP side of this committee had a conscience they'd be admitting they covered for a President in the face of obvious crimes and resign immediately. As such, none of them have that, not even Will Hurd. They are all committed to going down in flames with Trump for reasons I'll never fathom other than short-sighted greed and damage to "the other" The Lemondrop Dandy posted:I mean, offering the position seemed like a joke? IDK, but if I were Vindman, I would not have seriously considered the offer, even apart from personal beliefs. Well that's the thing, he didn't consider it a very serious offer especially because by his own admission it's a weird thing to offer to a lowly Lieutenant Colonel. He still reported it anyway, joke or not, because that's what you do.

1glitch0 posted:And I'll just add, again, because it's so goddamn stupid, that this entire catastrophe for Trump is happening for getting information that doesn't exist (because it's a conspiracy theory) on a potential political opponent who may not have even ran for president and currently might not even win the democratic primary! It is such a prime Trump gently caress-up. Once again, Trump doing literally nothing would have better results than him trying to do a thing. It's astounding. The only thing I can figure is that Trump saw Biden as an extension of Obama and his legacy and, since he hates Obama so much, wanted to destroy that.

Ratcliffe is too dumb to understand the idea of changing language based on emergent facts. "The word bribery doesn't appear when I word search, clearly this wasn't bribery"  More magic words bullshit.
