Listening to impeachment hearing. So hard to get the facts. Have to sift through the partisanship. How Trump is still in office is amazing.
The Democrats couldn’t ignore this level of crime. It’s obvious the R’s have nothing to add but further attempts to confuse and ignore.
I find it strange, and hopeful ..listening to the testimony of diplomats appointed by previous Republican administrations, actually upholding their oaths or allegiance to our nation … above politics.. I’ve come to expect that from Democrat appointments.
Allowing the salesman-like rapid-fire off-topic questions from the R’s ‘attorney's’ is both a turnoff and a waste of time, though. It’s being done fair, though. And, for the reason it was included in our Constitution.
The Dems in the House would be smarter to end the impeachment hearings by voting for censure, instead of impeachment, and inviting the Repubs to join them. That would help the Dems more in the next election than wasting time on a symbolic impeachment attempt that everyone knows will not remove him from office. Most voters do not care about the impeachment issues vs. the far more important issues of the economy, health care, college costs, endless war, etc..
How Trump has not been assassinated is amazing. Actually, that applies to many politicians.
Well I did notice how dignified both the ambassador and Mr. Kent were in comparison to the politicians.
Only politicians on the left get successfully assassinated, not those on the right. The reason for that is assassins of those on the left always have help or, at worst, are just patsy scapegoats. I knew Obama would never be assassinated, despite all the racist haters that threatened him. The reason was that he was very willing to sell out to the rich, corporatists, and Wall Street. They were not unhappy with him and therefore, nobody in the government was going to let their boy get whacked by some racist redneck.
@TomMcGiverin I didn't realize Lincoln was on the left.
@bingst That was 150 years ago. I am talking about the last 100 years, after the US developed a deep state and a security state during the Cold War.
Because then we'd get Pence. Just as we'd have gotten Cheney.
@CatWomanDiana You know Cheney was actually calling the shots!
@bingst Oh yeah - I just think he would have done more if he'd been officially in charge. Gotta wonder if he's kicking himself for not acting like 45 and acted oblivious and evil...
Caught tail end of it. The Rethuglicans wanted to discuss the whistleblower and it was voted on and tabled discussion. Watching recap now of what I missed while working.
Not really. He keeps the rich richer and the dumb dumber.
