"Ambassador Sondland asks U.S. President"
Who? 
 
"(me)"
 
OOOOOHhhhhh.

Like we need that reminder.

I like Speers finally digging in on the "code" that trump uses when directing his underlings to commit crimes

[WhatTheBuck 28776]

Three words, Mr. Stewart: "Lock her up!"

Go fuck yourself, you hypocritical piece of shit.

Quigley: If this was arson, you all would indict the person who pulled the fire alarm

LOL

"If we were investigating an arson, you all would indict the person who pulled the fire alarm."

Nice.

A lot of this "can't recall" from Sondland around contacts and scheduling etc. is hedging in the event the phone(s)/devices he turned over to State Dept. end up with Congress.  I'm sure those devices would provide a surprisingly adequate memory refresher to fill in the gaps not already accounted for by other witnesses.

I'm assuming that any evidence that surfaces from Mr. Pompeo will be manufactured to miraculously support the President. Barr has not been globe trotting and in on this for nothing. He is one of the puppet masters and his name has been conspicuously absent from most of the day-to-day testimony.

Or they'll selectively release information/documents to paint a favorable picture for them. Exactly in the same way that barr did to steal the sting from the Mueller report.

Every time she talks I feel like I am working the customercare desk at target and she is about to ask to speak with the store manager

[SmokeyTheBear 5562]

She's a Karen

[Chuckie Finster 22694]

It's a contest to see how many different ways the Republicans can restate the same three talking points.

Hate to break it to you Ambassador, but yes, you are a central figure

Swalwell just brought up the fact trump said he doesn’t know him yet he donated a million bucks to his inaugural.

You said you're a proud member of the "Three Amigos." I'd say that makes you a central figure.

Trump: Tell him there is no quid pro quo, but that he must do what I ask or there will be no aid!

Trumpkins: See! He said no quid quo!

Me: Do y'all know what "quid pro quo" means? 

[ChuckNorrisActionJeans 2663]

So if R's are going to make statements about Hunter Biden rather than ask substantive questions, why do the D's not get it in the record that the corrupt prosecutor Joe Biden got removed was actually NOT pursuing an active investigation into Burisma?

Yeah, that's the unbelievable part of that purported exchange.  No way Trump ever said quid pro quo before this investigation began.  He had no idea what that means.  Heck he still might have no idea what that means.

And that the reason we wanted him removed was BECAUSE he was not pursuing an investigation.

honestly, it seems like that's just making the case for the courts to compel the DoS to provide the specific documents and devices

[Zonahorn 8079]

Wait, fozz is rocko? That explains so much

[atomheartbevo 89649]

I don't care much for Castro, but he's not as embarrassing as Conaway.   Nice trotting out the videos from Mulvaney.   Congratulations?

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

Why is it that the party who cannot spell correctly, display proper apostrophe usage, and harangues opponents in debates about elite uber wealthy educations is suddenly amazingly concerned with the proper semantics and definitions of words and terms such as "quid pro quo," "bribery," "extortion," and "explicitly state?" You would think that the same elite educations would have prepared them for moments such as these. Moments when the meaning of those words is as crystal clear as the lies they and Sondland (Mr. Equivocator) tell. Most of them have law degrees and yet haven't practiced since they graduated law school. I think Gym Jordan never passed the bar IIRC. Sad.

That, and it happened the day they learned of the whistleblower complaint. The only thing missing is Trump ending the conversation with "... must do what's right. If you know what I mean. But no pro quid quo, or whatever that thing is they told me earlier today I did!". 

[atomheartbevo 89649]

Nice, calling out Rudy, Pompeo, Mulvaney, etc.

[atomheartbevo 89649]

If I had Gym Jordan's voice, I'd be angry all the time as well.  And his hair.

If Rudy has no financial interests in Ukraine it's only because a) he hasn't picked up his paycheck or b)his friends got picked up before he could pick up his paycheck"

A lot of the names are being left out. They really should recall some of the players and grill them about that because I think they could trip them up. The problem is, as fascinating as I would find it, most folks don't want that kind of detail. While the bribe/aid/investigation is the big stick, the gas corruption is the dynamite.

[TexArcher 37774]

Has no one told Jim Jordan it's time to start shaving his head?

Does he not have any friends or anyone who likes him at all?

Wait, that must be it.

Yup and a few months back one of the usual Republican morons tried to talk shit to her about gun violence and she lit him up.

She rarely speaks about her experience at Jonestown but she did that day.

I’ll see if I can find the video.

The Democrats are being redundant in their questions. It gives Sondland and Republicans the opportunity to disassemble and misrepresent his prior answers that already confirmed the quid pro quo etc....

If the Democrats are being redundant, then what the hell do you call whatever the hell the Republicans are doing?

[Mrs Whiggins 13050]

Yes, she is pretty amazing because as a public servant, she is solid. The rep from California that died, Leo Ryan, traveled to Jonestown to check on his constituents. Try and picture Devin Nunes doing that.
