Will they cheat on the next election for the president in full sight of the nation - hiring lying so-called experts, forging docs, what perfidy won't they commit to get off the criminal traitor tot? What can dems do to make this not such a shit show - will they be allowed witnesses - will McConnell make this all a lie about Biden and Ukraine (YES), will Roberts constrain them and be fair - NO and NO.

We HAD to impeach, but am so worried now about Russian Repug wholesale cheating and ratfucking America. WE will tell the truth - but will it be overlooked in the flood of lies and treachery? Just freaking hope SCOTUS stays out of it, but they won't, they have an agenda and it parallels Drumpfs and PUtin's and not ours, our countrys or our constitutions'.

is to not even send it to the Senate. Nancy can apparently wait to decide on that until she knows the Turtle's ground rules and plan. If it looks like more stonewalling or unfair treatment or an inquisition into the Bidens or whatever she can simply leave it at "impeached by the House of Representatives" with no trial held in the Senate.

Then she can add further charges if SCOTUS decides to be an AMERICAN institution and stops the blockade of documents which will almost certainly show more emoluments violations, more bribery, more campaign finance fuckery, more of everything bad because that is all he is. I'm sure his taxes alone would be quite revealing plus if we could get Bolton up there - my oh my.

A complete set of well-grounded responses to the republicons' false arguments.

Will share this around.

Quick do something really outrageous and even more egregious they'll forget about it.

Hire another lawyer the last ones in jail.

I didn't know that guy, we never actually met. He had nothing to do with me.

Go to jail Do not pass Go Do not collect $200
