And to the point of wanting to impeach Trump from day one I plead guilty.


Trump was a crook and a racist prior to the election, he was a crook and a racist
during the election, and he was a crook and a racist after the election.

All of us knew that Trump's "victory" was dirty from day one and now we will get
to see how willing the GOP will be to put party of country.

[bdamomma]

5. plus whatever

they say or don't say will be on record.

[Cartaphelius]

20. And the repukes like Mike here

have been prosecuting Hillary for what? 30, 40 years?

Were you born absent an honest bone in your body?

Or were they the price of membership to the party?

[calimary]

75. Prosecuting? More like persecuting.

I find myself marveling at how obsessed they are with her. They’re crazed and WAAAAAAAAY off the derp end and down deep into the fever swamp.

MAN does she threaten them! It’s absolutely astonishing. Gobsmacking! Jaw-dropping-from the penthouse floor all the way down the elevator shaft to the basement.

[mopinko]

46. yeah, i dont get why they think that claim means what they think it means.

i feel just like you- of course we wanted to dump someone who wasnt legit elected.
how many people marched in those pink hats?
yeah, we are not alone.

[Botany]

58. We all knew that Russia rat fucked our elections from the get go.

Mike Pence in Jan. 2017 saying that there were no links between the Trump Campaign
and Russia.

Mike Pence, "Of course not. Why would we? On contacts between Trump and Russia.

https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/15/politics/mike-pence-flynn-trump-russia-contacts/index.html

As you watch these hearings remember that when they talk about the Ukraine they are talking
about Putin & Russia too.

[backtoblue]

2. I cannot imagine having to testify today...

God speed to these first two witnesses and our Democratic reps.

[bdamomma]

3. Facts and truth matter

Repigs will be showing themselves as being arrogant and ignorant.

[FakeNoose]

4. Link to C-SPAN live feed on Youtube

(link)

It will go live before 10:00 a.m.

[demmiblue]

6. George Conway is going to be on MSNBC to discuss the impeachment hearings.

[backtoblue]

26. Just switched to msnbc

[demmiblue]

33. Oh my. He's been a big get for bookers now for a long time and has always drawn the line at doing TV

Link to tweet

[backtoblue]

7. Stupid propaganda signs shown behind the right side

[bdamomma]

9. that is all they have

just propaganda, no such thing as truth and facts for them.

[backtoblue]

10. Listening to the callers on cspan...

The koolaid was one hell of a batch...

[bdamomma]

13. I am not listening to that

are they defending the king.

[backtoblue]

19. Some are

Im changing the channel. Ive got a headache before its even started

[demmiblue]

16. Pic for those not watching:

[pioche4]

56. I'm sure this was all focus grouped for max impact to his base

It is a sorry day when even something as solemn as impeachment is being treated like a 4th/5th grade campaign for student government....

[Botany]

67. GRR

n/t

[Atticus]

18. I think they should be required to use visual aids ONLY to question a witness, not

as a permanent propaganda billboard throughout the entire hearing.

[crickets]

52. I agree.

Have to admit, though. They remind me of high school student council election posters. Nothing against high school student councils, but at this level, so weak if that's all they've got.

[Cartaphelius]

22. No..No.. The WRONG (in so many ways) side

Just saying...

[bdamomma]

8. I started this thread early

feel free to comment.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. thanks for the link in the OP ...

I wonder if it would make sense to have a special forum for impeachment, just as the primaries have a forum. This process will not be over quickly.

[bdamomma]

17. would make sense huh

do we need the moderators to do that?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. that's admin work, there

I suppose it would depend on how much traffic goes through, and how much impeachment discussion pushes any other "General Discussion" off the page.

[bdamomma]

27. I just sent the administrators

an e mail about starting an Impeachment Hearing/Inquiry forum.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. you're doomed!

I'm not gonna stand anywhere near you; lightning strikes are scary!

[bdamomma]

35. you scared me!!

[MoonRiver]

11. Just heard George Conway will be on MSNBC later!

[Beringia]

14. Thanks

[Baitball Blogger]

15. Anyone waiting to see if there is special music for the intro?

[Liberal In Texas]

21. Repub disruption is going to happen all day.

And the MSN will be pulling the disruption clips of the disruption to run on the news 'cause you know, it's more interesting than listening to Deadbeat Donnies crimes.

[demmiblue]

23. !

[ancianita]

69. Fabulous for the disco. Unbecoming for the capitol.

[magicarpet]

73. Oh,.. I thought the one in the short red dress with the big blonde hair,...

.... was Donnie Jr's trophy significant other,.... Ms. Gargoyle.

Figured she just dyed her hair blonde and teased it up then dressed to the nines to make her DC appearance.

She look a bit chunky,... but you know when you are no longer a spring chicken,... your metabolism changes drastically.

[Hekate]

74. No way. That fabulous blonde is The Fat Lady Who Sings... waaay classier than Rudy.

I'm surprised nobody saw it but me.

[malaise]

24. George Conway coming up with his case for impeachment after the break

Snack time

[mopinko]

48. simple case- he violated his oath repeatedly. that's enough.

[malaise]

50. Yep - that simple

[FakeNoose]

53. Should be a slam-dunk

The fact that it's not a slam-dunk tells us everything about beltway politics & media coverage.

[malaise]

59. When you think that ReTHUGs used to scream about the Consitution 24/7

we should all laugh. All they want are power and money

[FakeNoose]

61. Yep! Remember when they screamed about the deficit? Benghazi? "Her emails"?

It was all bullshit.

[malaise]

63. All bullshit

The only part of the word conservative that matters to ReTHUGs is the big CON

[SummerSnow]

25. George Conway is there on MSNBC after the commercial. oooooo weeee

[blaze]

28. Rick Wilson tweet says GOP will use Whistleblower name

to blow up the proceedings.

Link to tweet

"GOP aide tells me one plan discussed is for Gym Jordan and others to repeatedly use the whistleblower's name as one of several strategies to blow up the hearings and make the media report on his identity.

Be prepared for stunts."

[bdamomma]

31. they want to put

this person in jeopardy, there's going to be a consequence to their actions if they do.

[Cartaphelius]

36. The Dems should flood the gallery

with men scantily clad in wrestling garb from Ohio chant "Gym
saw more meat than a butcher!"

[riversedge]

47. I did not know that Repugs knew who the whisleblower was??

[Cartaphelius]

34. Russia? Anyone? Anywhere?

Failure to impeach will provide Russia their greatest victory,
the end of America.

But hell, apparently THAT doesn't even matter to the traitors
standing boldly behind Trump. Yep, the ones waving paychecks
issued and paid for by Americans.

[bdamomma]

38. those who

support this POS don't realize we will be no more. How stupid they are, wearing T Shirts saying I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat, WTF

[riversedge]

37. Republican props set up for hearing , railing on Schiff, Al Green on impeachment and whistleblower's

Ohhh..., this seems the way a well respected country’s government would behave during something as important as impeachment proceedings.
This should solidify America’s standing in the world as a country not in shambles, but reliable and strong.
Well done Republicans.

I really hope Dems will remain professional and not get down in the dirt with Republicans. Ignore their childish stunts and stick to the facts. Don’t turn it into the circus they want/need it to be.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

39. surely that shit will be covered until Russiapublicans' turns

[riversedge]

40. I see the msnbc small insert running right now. Repug signs are UP

[bdamomma]

41. or should be

taken down. Again repigs will show their ignorance and arrogance to the seriousness of what is happening or has been happening in our country due to this POS BS artist.

He has shamed the office.........and the list goes on and on.

[bdamomma]

42. Adam Schiff

knows what the repigs game is. He's cool and calm.

[Politicub]

66. The damn signs. It's showboating.

The talking heads keep chattering about the signs and what’s on them. From that perspective, they’re working because the messages the GOP wants publicized are getting attention.

I’m not saying the messages will be effective, but they are getting an airing.

[demmiblue]

43. I have it from multiple good sources that today's #ImpeachmentDay coverage will have the best rating

I have it from multiple good sources that today’s #ImpeachmentDay coverage will have the best ratings ever in history of TV!

[gademocrat7]

70. Nunes is lying his ass off

[meow2u3]

71. Devil Nunes is up to his old tinfoil hat BS again

He's repeating the same bullshit about Democrats looking to nullify the 2016 election. He has to make up nonsense because the Trumpanzees have no valid defense.

[RicROC]

72. simply put

USA: Ukraine= friend, Russian= not friend

Trump: Ukraine= not friend, Russia= bosom buddy

[C_U_L8R]

76. Moooooooooo!!!

Time to wrap up.
