he doesn't need to use all 45 minutes but it would be embarrassing not to. that said, a good cross-examination is a lawyer basically giving a speech punctuated by an occasional "yes" from the witness. and here, there's no judge to whack you on the knuckles when you flagrantly violate the rules and actually don't even bother to involve the witness.

but sondland is so damaging and willing to throw everyone under the bus i'd have struggled to fill 45 minutes, but i would have had an outline prepared for this eventuality that was basically attacking his credibility for changing his testimony and the like and just making him answer yes or no questions about lack of specific pieces of evidence where he is given no chance to explain

hell yes, I'm glad you are doing this!

It's a great way to understand the nuanced layers of hosed they all must feel right now

I did a (extremely) cursory look at the Democratic Coalition's site, and superPAC or not, they're apparently getting an impeachment ad to air on Fox News on Monday, during Fox & Friends. They want Trump to see it, and you know what? After all the GOP PAC ads currently invading YouTube, I KINDA WANT HIM TO SEE IT TOO.

ALso: The whole "two-thirds of the Senate" thing with impeachment probably made a lot more sense when there was less than thirty senators

The whole point is that you need cross party support, which is NORMALLY a good thing, because otherwise Mitch would have removed Obama in 2014 just because he could.

But it's not great when a major political party is compromised along with the President.

True, but it's a lot harder to convince 17 (of today's) senators to cross party lines, then to get 5 people to do it (napkin math, but the number you'd need back when there were 13 states).

This poo poo is really loving serious and it's incredibly important to gather the strongest evidence possible, even if it fucks with the primary calendar a little bit.

The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, has, on several occasions now, straight up admitted to high crimes and misdemeanors. The problem is not enough of the representative government will admit those high crimes and misdemeanors are, in fact, high crimes and misdemeanors.

I agree though, it's important to keep pressing the attack. It's not just fighting an opposition party, we're also fighting apathy and misinformation.

I have a special rule - whenever a republican says "Chalupa" i immediately disregard everything they have said up to that point and mute/turn them off. It's a useful sort of reverse-dogwhistle that tells me I can tune out because this person knows they are lying and spreading bullshit if they say Chalupa

I hear out and listen to ones that do not say Chalupa

Honestly, I still don't know what the gently caress a chalupa is in this context.

Can the House draft new articles of impeachment for these crimes or do they still fall under the current passed articles?

It�d own hard if Moscow Mitch runs a sham trial to get orange daddy out of trouble, only to have new articles of impeachment drafted and passed by the house.

Not only that, but there ain�t no rule saying a dog can�t draft them, either :getin:

McConnell is underwater in Kentucky. Talking to people I know in the state even the most hardcore Republicans are tired of him at this point. It depends on his opponent, although he is going to have a fight on his hands even with the primary as Wesley Morgan has been drawing a lot of support. While him losing isn't a sure thing let's not say that him winning re-election is a sure thing here. He is going to have a battle unlike anything he has had in decades.

As for Geatz because he is in a safe seat he can show that path away from Trump. I think he is a loathsome scumbag but I would love nothing more than to have Trump's ire focused on him and it does nothing. If Romney grows a spine somehow I imagine we would see much the same effect.

Hi, thanks for your second post in this thread. If you'd refer to the OP, you'd see that rapid-fire TVIV style posting during hearings is allowed here, while reactions without context would not be in USPOL.

I'm sure Pam Bondi appreciates this epic own you've done on her behalf, though.

For what it�s worth I am stuck in class and I do appreciate anyone elaborating even though it is not mandatory! It is a good thread.

censure is meaningless but it is better than the pure acquittal that allows trump to say "totally exonerated!"

Counterpoint: so is his unslakable thirst to never ever be wrong and for 'ratings'. Sure, it's all meaningless, but might as well piss in his Big Mac sauce if he's going to poo poo on the Constitution.
