Republicans are already sabotaging the hearings...

[ProudMNDemocrat]

Right out in the fucking open. They know they are on the WRONG side of history here, in order to please an audience of ONE.

1. Recommended.

They are certainly trying to. But that's a good thing: they place a filthy glass of sludge next to the Democrats' clean glass of sparling water. A thirsty public will make the correct choice.

2. After going through the smoky lens of Fox "News"

Hannity et al and Limbaugh.

You are an optimist.

[H2O Man]

5. Always.

Those who watch fox news are those that the old joke "Don't confuse me with facts, for my mind is made up!" describes. They make up an even smaller percentage of the population than does the republican party. Democrats should be happy to meet them in any competition of ideas.

The "thirsty public" is those who have not firmly made up their minds. That's the battle field. We'll kick the shit out of them.

3. Here is their strategy in a nutshell.

In addition to painting a picture of a universe that does not exist.

a) parliamentary point of order interruptions
b) lie about the closed hearings
c) out the whistleblower

[crickets]

6. Pretty much

It's making them look petty and childish. Rudeness does not reflect well.

Also, Schiff outright calling Jordan a liar re knowing the ID of whistleblower was suh-weet and so well deserved.

4. Good thing Schiff

has a long fuse!

8. Yes. Very cool and logical, even after Nunes's rant, and the baiting by other Rethugs.

7. They have to show Trump they have his back while they're kissing his ass.

9. I suspect that any Republican who thinks that...

...he or she can best Adam Schiff on matters of procedure, point of parliamentary order, or law will find themselves sadly mistaken. He is calm, controlled, and does not shoot from the hip.

They would be wise not to piss him off.

10. Limp and Feckless

All they have is bullshit and bluster. The truth will have its way with these clowns.
