[BumRushDaShow]

1. GRATES (Matt Gaetz R-FL) up - whining and repeating the GOP conspiracy theories

[MerryBlooms]

64. Your post should be on the front page of every media outlet by morning.

Along with mccarthy's russian mob money campaign financials, nunes dirty dealings and all other republicans up to the necks in this filth. Our friends across the aisle bullshit is giving cover to these fuckers.

[BumRushDaShow]

65. ...

[nolabear]

2. Gaetz is stomping my last nerve. The entitlement is strong.

I would be happy to never see him again.

[Turbineguy]

7. I suspect his constituents voted for him

precisely because he's such an asshole. I wonder if he gets money from Russia.

[bluestarone]

3. Anybody keeping count?

How many amendments so far?

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Have no idea because they started this process last night

(and debated amendments for 4 hours)

[underpants]

13. I thought they had 7 total

Not sure if that's right or where they are in the count.

[bluestarone]

17. I was thinking a lot more than that.

But i could be wrong

[dewsgirl]

4. You are amazing, thank you again.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. My poor brain if fried

but I know this is historical and rare.

[dewsgirl]

14. We are witnessing history unfold, I think back to

Impeachment Eve and Rachel Maddow and everyone here and on Twitter being so excited, but I swear these GOP idiots are slowly killing my soul through their gaslighting and lies. Today has been the worst, just awful. I know it is rare and we are fortunate(I am certain that is not the proper word) to be here to witness it.

[BumRushDaShow]

67. At least the Democrats have been united in repeating the messaging

and in many cases, calling out the other crimes done by those in the WH.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) up - yielding to Zoe Lofgren

Was invoking the "can't argue the facts" and "can't argue the law".

Schooled them that what they have crafted is exactly like what the GOP used for Clinton.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Back to Cedric who is laying out all the evidence

Drumpf "14,435 lies to date"!

"He might use 'bigly' he might say 'great'...".

[Kali]

10. yeah! Richmond!

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Steve Chabot (R-OH) up - whining about Democrats wanting to get rid of this President

Now electioneering - Apparently the GOP talking point was to put all this fake "what Drumpf has done" stuff out there.

[rzemanfl]

16. It's a row up and a little to the right.

The "R."

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Typing without looking

because looking at the TV and the 'puter screen - so home keys off. (thank you - I think it is in my Firefox autofill for the reply title)

[Mersky]

12. tRump sure has eaten a lot of illicit cookies.

[dewsgirl]

20. Did you say cookies? My fave cold open, on the Late Show ever.

[Mersky]

53. Hahaha. Love it.

Will share that around and likely replay it a few times so I can sing it in the car, shower, etc.

[dewsgirl]

95. When someone mentions cookies 🍪 I usually share it.

I love the part, "what is "B" doing in this word?" 🤗

[Mersky]

98. Yeah, that part is veryb cleverb.

And it's catchy!

[dewsgirl]

100. Very, I have probably listened 30 times.😆

[Mersky]

102. Thanks for sharing it

I’m not the only music comedy nut in my household.

[dewsgirl]

103. You are very welcome.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Ken Buck (R-CO) up and first thing out of his mouth? BENGHAZI!!!!!111!

[ancianita]

22. Next, Obama, Rashida Tlaib, and "you better watch out! we're gonna impeach YOU Dems in the Senate!"

[BumRushDaShow]

27. Of course

because they will make up stuff that doesn't exist in the Constitution!

[Mersky]

18. The other cookies: Chabot's Wafer Thins

Crumbles whenever he opens his mouth.

Harping about wafer thin evidence has been his go to rant. And ya know, when reps like him choose to not retain knowledge and information conveyed over these hearings and reports, the arguments they're left with are translucent and tasteless.

[miyazaki]

21. Especially when you have to cite Prof. Turdley

Even someone on CNN called that fucker a fraud

[Mersky]

72. He's been so irritating with his wafer thin crappola

Like chabot, republicons on the committee cherry pick this or that catchy CT term or folksy phrase to make complete sentences with all the value of a pile of garbage, and sometimes sewage. They never can seem to grasp the big picture or real, follow-through logic.

Their willful stupidity has been infuriating.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Chabot yielding to Andy Biggs (R-AZ)

And brief as he ran out of time.

[gademocrat7]

24. What a bunch of pathological liars.

Spinning spinning crap.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) up - once again

Yes we disagree with policies - the GOP passed their "tax scam" - wealthiest 1% benefited and it exploded the deficit and debt. We disagree with separating children from parents. We disagree with stripping way health care from people.



But that's not why we are here!

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Jeffries yielded to Swalwell

GOP is trying to defend Drumpf and make him someone that he is not and that he doesn't want to be.

People died because of a selfish selfish President who withheld money.

[crickets]

28. Swalwell is calling out Collins for deaths in Ukraine because the aid was delayed

I don't know how Collins thinks it's okay to smile and laugh during that.

(joined in late today- thanks for the threads!)

[MerryBlooms]

35. Collins thinks that's okay because he's an enemy of humanity.

He and his ilk helped kill those Ukranians, and they're proud of it.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Ben Cline (R-VA) up - "just a political exercise for Democrats" and now back to auctioneer

[ancianita]

32. Cline is a snotty, loudmouthed lout who yells, "No one said what you said they said! I know when

people die! You lie! Or you're too stupid!" "Maybe you have a reading comprehension problem."

It's just wrong. Our military "gets it."

You are the dark stain we see today yadayadayada

[BumRushDaShow]

30. Kooky Collins

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. if Collins flaps a little faster, I think he can achieve lift-off

[H2O Man]

63. My cousin called me

and we were laughing like hell at Collins.

[Mersky]

33. Gaslighting gas bag, collins, needs to STFU

[Mersky]

73. Would like to add how I experienced this

I was around the corner from the tv getting a snack, because if you've seen three collins rants, you've heard em all.

But this one was special: he sounded like an abusive jerk all too familiar with gaslighting his target.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) up - quoting George Washington

"We will never abandon the Constitution".

Noting that the language in these articles are the same as what was in the Clinton articles.

Democrats are attempting to keep this Republic.

[crickets]

37. She also brought up Barbara Jordan. She was wonderful. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

36. Tom McClintock (R-CA) up projecting

[BumRushDaShow]

38. Time just got yielded to GYMSUIT - MUTE

[nolabear]

39. So when do they actually vote on this thing? How do they decide?

When the last one keels over? When I keel over? Tomorrow? Whenever?

[BumRushDaShow]

42. The hope is that they will finish it up tonight

since they started last night and vote the articles out of committee. The GOP has to stop submitting ridiculous amendments to delay it.

[nolabear]

45. That's what I figured. But they will go on forever to make a show.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. Time yielded to Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA)

Now he is reading filler material to use up time.

[Mossfern]

41. Why is he talking about bribery?

It's not in the articles of impeachment.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. GOP playing games with the debate time. Ratfucker (Ratcliffe R-TX) yielding to Biggs

[liberalmediaaddict]

44. Will Nadler ever be able to hold a vote?

Or can these Republicans keep talking nonsense forever?

[Miles Archer]

48. It's the 2019 version of Ted the Wolverine reading "Green Eggs And Ham."

Many, many, many breathless testimonials for Trump as the second coming of Jesus.

A LOT of repetition.

I am sure the audience of one is thrilled.

[BumRushDaShow]

49. They keep going as long as they keep putting in bogus amendments

(which I expect are part of the regular rules for markups in this committee)

Usually congress people can be lazy and eventually they will fold.

[bluestarone]

56. Exactly!

Now if CNN and Msnbc would call out just what the RETHUGS are doing would be GREAT! THAT'S what needs to happen! We ALL know what they are doing! CHEATING fuckers! GREAT JOB Bum!! TYVM!

[BumRushDaShow]

46. Biggs claiming Ds have been in charge for "3 years" trying to do impeachment

[demtenjeep]

47. Nadler needs to tell them ENOUGH Stop your shit and lets vote

the repukes are stalling because they don't have the power

[MustLoveBeagles]

55. No kidding

I can't believe this is STILL going on.

[BumRushDaShow]

59. I don't think the committee rules allow that

They apparently didn't change the rules from what they normally do for markups... It's also to show they had a "fair process" allowing amendments from "both sides" along with the debate and vote.

[BumRushDaShow]

50. Joe Neguse (D-CO) up - praising the civil servants

Reminding that Vindman, Taylor, Yovanovich were appointed by Drumpf.

[BumRushDaShow]

51. Neguse yielded to Zoe Lofrgren (D-CA)

Lofgren providing the history of the "impeachment clause".

[BumRushDaShow]

52. David Cicilline (D-RI) up - reading a statement signed off by 500 scholars

[BumRushDaShow]

54. Voting on the amendment - doing a roll call

[MustLoveBeagles]

58. Looks like the amendment failed

Now they're taking a half hour potty break.

[BumRushDaShow]

61. All the bogus GOP amendments are going to fail

[MustLoveBeagles]

75. I'm watching online with the volume low

I'm home sick today but didn't watch earlier because I didn't want to feel worse. I tried watching it on TV this evening but hubby has zero tolerance for republican bullshit. He switched to watching anime and our TV survived.

[Mersky]

62. And a not shocking count of 23 to 17

Just gotta do the roll call, every. dang. time.

[BumRushDaShow]

57. ****30 MINUTE RECESS****

[IcyPeas]

68. BumRushDaShow is away making a large protein shake

and drinking a pot of coffee.

doing yeoman's work keeping the threads together and on point.

[BumRushDaShow]

70. LOL

This is definitely past my bedtime But it's historic.

[IcyPeas]

71. it is historic

I had to go out earlier but I was listening to it on NPR in my car. But at 4:00 they stopped and went to regular programming.

watching rachel right now.

[H2O Man]

60. Recommended.

I haven't laughed so hard in many years. The Democrats are absolutely outstanding. The republicans are pathetic.

[IcyPeas]

66. Rachel replaying Raskin from earlier

she picked this as a particularly good argument.

[BumRushDaShow]

69. Have the sound down but CSPAN3 had a tweet up from a reporter from The Hill (yes ugh) - schedule

@scottwongDC

.@StenyHoyer says he wants to put funding bills on floor on Tuesday, which means funding and trade deal could sandwich impeachment in this order next week:

-- Government funding
-- Impeachment
-- USMCA

[BumRushDaShow]

74. WILL BE STARTING SHORTLY

[MustLoveBeagles]

77. Thanks for the update

I must be a glutton for punishment. I want to watch more of it.

[BumRushDaShow]

78. You are welcome

I want this to end and get voted out of committee but the whole thing is like watching a slow motion trainwreck.

[BumRushDaShow]

76. Gavelled in - Sensenstupid up (James Sensenbrenner R-WI) up

Trying to go back to the GOP "corruption" talking point and "Ukraine was a corrupt country".

[BumRushDaShow]

79. Steve Cohen (D-TN) up - "The GOP is dead wrong"

"If President is impeached and removed then Mike Pence will become President". It's not Democrats "stealing" an election.

GOP is using this as a "campaign aid from Drumpf".

[BumRushDaShow]

80. Cohen ticking off - Turkey killing Kurds, gave Syria to the Russians

and Drumpf met with Lavrov (Russian Foreign Minister) yesterday. This is where we are.

[BumRushDaShow]

81. Steve Chabot (R-OH) up - bragging about the tax cuts that killed the deficit and debt

Talking about having been at the Clinton impeachment with Sensenbrenner, Nadler, Lofgren and Jackson-lee.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

83. Reruns? He blabbered that 2 or 3 hours ago.

[BumRushDaShow]

86. Delay and distraction

but they don't get that they will still be thrown under the bus by the guy they are trying to defend.

[BumRushDaShow]

82. Now Chabot is rambling...

[kag]

84. Sorry. Fucking Chabot!

Thinks WE'RE lowering the bar for impeachment? They fucking impeached Clinton for a blowjob!

[Mersky]

91. I found his claim deeply offensive.

Playing dumb chabot is selling out the country for tRump.

[crickets]

88. They're all rambling now. I wish they'd go ahead and vote.

Enough grandstanding from the Minority; it's going to happen. All this whining serves no real purpose, certainly not after the 12 hour mark.

[BumRushDaShow]

85. Ted Deutch (D-FL) up - "Always the right time to defend the Constitution"

Repeating exactly the points about abuse of power - the leveraging funding and a meeting.

Plus obstruction of congress - directed every member of the Executive Branch not to speak with Congress.

[IndyOp]

87. IMHO - Dems on judiciary need to maintain laser-like focus

on impeachment and STOP commenting on other issues - the Republicans are loving getting into debates about policy rather than the articles!

[BumRushDaShow]

89. Deutsch just invoked Bolton

Called Ghouliani's mess a "drug deal" and called him a "hand grenade that will blow everybody up".

[spooky3]

90. Incredible that they are still there being patient and rational at this

Late hour.

[BumRushDaShow]

92. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) up -still spouting the GOP talking points

Now he lied - claiming "no invesgtation of Biden took place" (meanwhile Gholiani has been in Ukraine attempting to dig up dirt on Biden to manufacture an investigation )

Now whining about MOO MOO's phone records and how MOO MOO got CAUGHT!

[BumRushDaShow]

93. Mary Gay Scanlon up (PA-5) up - the purpose is not a disagreement with policies

The President ran on rearranging the government but when further than anyone expected and is a national security risk.

Emphasizing the witnesses were first hand sources.

[BumRushDaShow]

96. How're y'all East Coasters holding up? What a day.

It’s run in the background all day and evening here. Now I’m just trying to outlast them.

[BumRushDaShow]

97. Ack.
