Is a single Democrat going to point out that aid was released only AFTER the administration learned of the whistleblower's complaint?

And that Trump is doing his damnedest to ensure that no WBs ever come forward again, so we shouldn't count on that solution next time ...

[jimmyjazz 47,161]

So basically, Obama's failure to provide as much lethal weaponry as Trump eventually did absolves Trump from holding weapons assistance in exchange for investigation of a political rival.

Clear as mud, lady.

[David Dennison 19,534]

The Republicans are winning the five minute rounds.

[Dnaguy 12,627]

Why do democrats keep talking about hearsay? This is stupid.

Kent smirking pre-Mulvaney clip is fantastic.

They should be yielding all of their time to counsel.

because they're trying to prove that the subpoenaed documents and witnesses that have been withheld are an obstruction to this investigation

I’ve been catching bits and pieces between flights but you got one of the R talking points.  It’s all Obama’s fault and we should make sure that guy doesn’t get to be President again and whatever Trump has done or will do has nothing to do with the fact that it’s all Obama’s fault.

No one wants to mention that the aid was released because the WH learned about the whistleblowers complaint ?

Republicans have so little confidence in whatever their arguments are, they spending 95% of their time just making statements and not actually questioning the testimony.

Lying and obfuscation form the principle strategy, but I think they are also actively trying to make this hard to watch for people turned off by the discord in politics.

All of the quotes above are great. Any fair person who can watch much of this and conclude the GOP and Trump are the way to go may as well dump gasoline on the Constitution (constitution as in the body's constitution or the body politic's constitution) and then themselves and beg Trump to light one of his own farts to act as flamethrower.

Something making this tolerable is checking in here for comments. It's particularly gratifying that some of the pithier remarks come from former GOPs who see what's going on.

The GOP must be totally destroyed and new home for the traditional right established. It won't happen. That's why Brisket's prediction has substance. Ousting Trump won't be enough if the electorate and their choices do not change.

Best wishes, my brothers and sisters.

Nice answer by Kent on the Never Trumper question. Not that it matters to the moronic millions.

Then they need to say that. Say it isn’t hearsay because it’s corroborated.

Will Hurd, which way will he swing.

[Dnaguy 12,627]

Curious to see how Hurd handles this.

They got the aid.

 

[Gap03 3,386]

This is interesting - is he going to point out that the military aid only changed as we've gotten close to the 2020 election?  I don't think that's where he wants to go ...

 

[David Dennison 19,534]

This really sucks.

There isn't going to be a single Republican vote to impeach and the Democratic vote to impeach will not be unanimous.

No quid pro quo. Simple.

If I made a drinking game out of how many times they said Obama I'd have alcohol poisoning.

[Dnaguy 12,627]

If there was so much concern about corruption then why did congress approve the $ going there.

I’m surprised that Taylor hasn’t mentioned he was just trying to execute the forge in policy that congress approved and was the official policy of the US.

The congress wanted this. Regardless of corruption or not.

[jimmyjazz 47,161]

Come on, Mr. Castro.  Enough with the weepy soft-peddling.  Taylor will tell you what you want to know, don't couch it in a Hallmark Channel motif.

Castro sucks at this.

Mama always said if a man's going to wear a bowtie he'd better have his ish together. Looks like Kent had a similarly minded mama.
