I don't give too many shits about which D defeats Trump, but just curious about what the plan is for the entire displaced insurance industry employee base if they're actually eliminated?

Barr AND Durham signalling the fix. What a disgrace.

Didn't think I could hate an AG more than Ashcroft and then Gonzales. But Barr doesn't feel he even has to hide his bias and corruption, apparently. Unprecedented but sadly, right in line with the M.O. he's always shown.

GotDAMN that Schiffty Shiff gets around. The new all-purpose bogeyman for the R snowflakes.

what has the left been "trying to do for three years?" Call the Pres out on his repeated lawlessness and corruption?

I'm sure it's the well-tested trope that anyone in the academic field who isn't on the R team is an elitist, ivory tower snob, looking down on us regular working folks rabble rabble

Jesus, I thought perhaps that the HELPER act crap was satire. Just pathetic. Who sees that and goes, "RAWR how awesome, my life's all better now!!" ?

eh I was not so keen on him as a person, when he'd make reference during class to "the blacks" as some monolithic group and other such crap, acting like a skinny I-talian Archie Bunker.

Excellent analysis here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/trumps-supporters-are-displaying-the-will-to-win-democrats-are-not/ar-BBXOAWw excerpt: The House Intelligence Committee’s forceful report addressed two issues: Trump’s abuse of power to extort a bribe from Ukraine, and the subsequent obstruction of justice to conceal the extortion. The Intelligence Committee’s hearings powerfully dramatized the first of these issues. The Judiciary Committee’s hearings should have dramatized the second. The minority complains that the American people have not heard from first-hand witnesses to the extortion. This is not true. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman listened to the July call in which Trump delivered the extortion message directly to the president of Ukraine. Ambassador Gordon Sondland led the extortion project. Ambassador Bill Taylor witnessed the extortion in real time. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was the extortion ring’s first target. Still, important witnesses have heeded the president’s order not to testify. Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani led the conspiracy; Energy Secretary Rick Perry participated in it; National-Security Adviser John Bolton tried to stop it. All refused to testify. The process of enforcing subpoenas upon them all will be slow. At a minimum, however, the Judiciary Committee could have dramatized their refusal: Set the table. Arrange the chairs. Fold the name cards. Then read aloud the questions that should have been asked of them, if they had not obeyed the president’s order to obstruct justice.

Dumb is the new black (trend, not skin). There's no shame in being dumb and venal anymore.

Turley, I'd like to know how Trump isn't allowed to advance any defenses when he's allowed to attend in person or through counsel, and he is the the one preventing anyone who MIGHT have exculpatory evidence from testifying.

Turley needs a good punching. What a disgrace.

how can Turley say with a straight face that there haven't been witnesses with direct knowledge of Trump's improper demands of Ukraine???

A+ level gaslighting from Sensebrenner ....Brav-fucking-0

Sweet mother of god, never ever listen to callers into C-span....an absolute shit show of stereotypes who are pro-Trump. Why bother to call in just to say in a stupid Alabama accent, "no one can ever point out where Trump lies" or "Schiff made all this up" etc etc. Fucking hell....very bad for my blood pressure.

I love the continued bullshit about how this is just a totally partisan proceeding. It is only partisan because ONE party is willfully blind and uncaring about repeated criminal conduct/abuse of office by the executive

I don't get it either except for the speculation of getting it over with before primary campaigning ramps up and Dems gotta get out to campaign? Stupid though. No one will even have this shit on their minds come next November if it's over this year, and we need the court's rejecting absolute immunity to play out with the Mf'ers at the top being forced to testify.

JFC. Let it all come out. Then the press will be all "6 Things We Learned from Lev Parnas" instead of page-sized headlines of the corrupt Republicans questioning witnesses when they're in on the same exact fucking corruption they're meant to investigate. So it still won't matter. I'm so on the ledge. I'm embarrassed that I had a legit "We Got Him" moment when Gordan Sondland testified......fuck

Very nice except Trump should be wearing the apron instead of Putin

And the Devin Nunes Ukraine stuff needs to play out a little. Very few Americans have even heard about that shit yet. And Regarding Rudy, or We Need to Talk about Rudy...whichever movie you prefer. Is there not probable cause at this point that he's committed a number of crimes? Indictments, please. Sorry I've had too much coffee today

What is it exactly that "independents" or "the public" heard that turned them further away from impeachment during the hearings?? It's horseshit, and the Dems need to start aggressively controlling the messaging NOW to get the undisputed bottom line of the corruption that's been exposed front and center to the public. Get the ruling on Monday about WH absolute immunity and take things further to get Pompeo, Bolton, Mulvaney .... it doesn't have to drag on for months, but it's too soon to draw up the report and impeachment articles when those guys almost certainly have explosive testimony -- or have to take the Fifth -- or commit perjury.

Wait, didn't Roberts write the majority opinion in rolling back the Voting Rights Act on the basis that state governments aren't really engaging in racist practices anymore? And joined the majority in saying the fed courts have no role in stopping gerrymandering? Just as his pre-SCOTUS writings show, he's an elitist, arrogant, pro-inequality hack. I don't trust him to reliably take any position other than the old white dude-system-preserving one.

We don't need those pesky checks and balances anyway.. What good are they doing us right now? Let's blow it up and get this republic over with.

I can try to understand, that if I were raised in a strictly religious viewpoint and raised not to question, I'd submit myself to all these strictures that go against my instincts for freedom and self-agency. But, if the religious figure goes directly against the teachings of Jesus? And even putting aside the substance of what he says, this is what blows my mind: these naive (possibly desperate?) people also have to be TERRIBLE judges of character. Perhaps willfully so? I mean, Osteen is one grade above Robert Fucking Tilton. If you can watch him for more than a couple of minutes and not see he's obviously a slick, oily, unctuous charlatan, how do you tie your shoes in the morning?? I could see through this dickbag by age 12. Are his followers all around boomer age?
