Republicans Have No Defense for Trump
November 14, 2019 at 6:31 am EST By Taegan Goddard


New York Times editorial: “And those Americans who tuned in also learned that the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have set themselves a degrading task. Rather than engage the facts about Mr. Trump’s Ukrainian escapade, they are twisting them and eliding them and inventing new ones they’d prefer. They spent most of Wednesday stuffing straw men and then ostentatiously knocking them down.”

Playbook: “The GOP keeps talking about how no one has firsthand information — all while the administration is blocking almost everyone who has firsthand information.”

Meanwhile, back on tv, the pundits are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to stir up a horse race out of impeachment hearings.

Senate GOPs will just ignore the whole House Impeachment inquiry, and the House GOPs will continue to spout out crazy shit and ignore the evidence, and the WH along with their base will do the same.

The current GOPs are batshit crazy with lots of money and power.
