Yeah.

He seems like he has no patience for the Republican arguement

Taylor laughed at Gym Jordan

[elfenix 34168]

obama!  drink!

[Dnaguy 11740]

Jim Jordan just weaving some fantasy and completely ignoring the Biden shit.

Why not. Let’s just make shit up.

[Slade 263]

Jordan, you have a mic, you don't have to yell.

[elfenix 34168]

"trump was just vetting zelensky!"

[DDD Dad 14167]

So, now we will hear testimony that Bolton, Pence, and others urged withholding from Ukraine until they became convinced he was committed to fighting corruption.

Sure, Gym.

[mdmost 42775]

Jordan is a not at all intimidating thinning hairline Doug Stamper from House of Cards. 

[WhatTheBuck 28700]

Just because you shout it, Jimbo, doesn't make it true. 

[Dnaguy 11740]

How do we know it’s not a ....... women whistleblower!

 

/mind blown gif

[sachick 1189]

Jordan is repeating himself. And how does he not know who the whistle blower is but know he worked with Biden?

[atomheartbevo 89362]

Jordan has just lost it.  He just needs to shout "WHERE WE GO ONE WE GO ALL"

[Red Five 40593]

Trump was just so gosh darn concerned about corruption. How in god's name do you say this out loud while keeping a straight face. 

 

[elfenix 34168]

welch just blew the roof off the gym

[atomheartbevo 89362]

Welch just put Jordan in his spot with one sentence, LOL

[hayden_horn 11360]

Unfortunately many American's are stupid and buy his story.

[jimmyjazz 45513]

Oh, snap.  Welch just brutalized Gym Jordan in about 6 words.

[Slade 263]

"The American people see through the whole darn sham."

That's some strong gaslighting, it's what these slapdicks do best.

Fuck. NPR just screwed up the punch line from Welch. What did he say?

Sure, Gym.

What I want to hear is someone make the very important distinction:

The withholding of aid was not on the condition that Ukraine actually investigate Biden.

It was on the condition that Ukraine PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE that it was investigating Biden.

The action required was not "investigate" but rather "announce."  That pretty much sinks the bullshit ship of "Trump wanted to fight corruption."  I mean, nevermind that 1) Congress already found that Ukraine qualified for the aid, and 2) the Pentagon itself determined that Ukraine had cleared all necessary anti-corruption hurdles.  Bust these fuckers on their baldfaced lie.  Do it.

[atomheartbevo 89362]

Republicans:  WE ARE FUCKING CLOWN SHOWS THAT BELIEVE IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES Q FOREVER!

Democrats: Ask reasonable questions, mention that Trump and the others refuse to defend themselves and answer the questions.

Yeesh. That was as brutal of a counterpunch as I've ever seen in the House.

Damn, #5 out of 800. That's impressive.

[hayden_horn 11360]

schiff is handling the republican chicanery fairly well, i reckon. some broad interrupting proceedings to add to the record something that has already been entered into the record. good job, good effort.

Paraphrasing, Gym Jordan was ranting about the whistleblower was the one who started all of this and he wouldn't be in here to testify, and then Welch follows up with "the person who started it all, Trump, is welcome to come in here and testify!"

[tantric superman 4667]

Gives you a lump in your throat.  

God bless guys like this.  Makes you feel a sliver of shame for your own lack of contributions to the country.

Know how I know he's true infantry?  He's most proudest of his Combat Infrantryman Badge.

Much respect to him for that.

[jimmyjazz 45513]

I'm coming around to Maloney's line of questioning.  He's reinforcing Taylor's long military service and his chagrin that a Ukrainian Commander was (perhaps without understanding that aid had been upheld) was thankful for US support.  What a kick in the nuts.

[hayden_horn 11360]

only one time has taylor sent a cable directly to the secretary of state, when he sent one to pompeo.

this is kind of incredible.

[GopherRock 1765]

Good questioning by Maloney. 

If the starting lineup is correct, GOP questioning is done and we've got 3 Dems left. This explains why they keep wanting to add stuff to the record. 

[Bozo_Casanova 26232]

Yup. He’s most proud of Combat Infantryman Badge, and when prompted “oh yeah also a Bronze Star and some other valor medals or whatever I guess, NBD.”

It makes me proud to know there are men like this working for us, and should shame these clowns who are lucky enough to sit in his presence, let alone press him for answers.

[hayden_horn 11360]

i love this lady. i would not want to be on the other end of her ire.

apparently she was the first female chief of police in orlando.
