i can't stop crying. CONGRESSMAN Schiff ... laying out Trump is a traitor. Trump echoing Putin

[trueblue2007]

trump choosing putin over his own intelligence. TRUMP SAYS UKRAINE MEDDLED IN OUT 2016 ELECTION. NOT RUSSIA.
Our country !!!!! I cry for our people, our wonderful government. Schiff should be president !!

[TeamPooka]

1. he is unloading all of it on them. Go Schiff go

[trueblue2007]

2. he is a great communicater. What a great speech.

[calimary]

23. Yep. Very impressive indeed! Made me proud.

Proud of him. Proud to be a Democrat, too!

[mainstreetonce]

3. He is one of the most powerful speakers I have ever heard

He sits next to John Kennedy,Barack Obama and Abe Lincoln.

[dem4decades]

4. I didn't hear it. But at least he's putting it ot there. No one can say they didn't know how.

[soldierant]

13. If you want to

[dem4decades]

14. Thanks

[calimary]

21. Oh good! Gonna save this one.

Thanks, soldierant!

5. I cry with you.

I woke up this morning, got out of bed, and wept. I wept for many things, but at the top of the list is the fear that I have for all of us, especially our younger Americans, about how things are changing. I see very little hope that Trump will be curtailed, but at least Schiff and the Dems are TRYING. Anyone who doesn't see the evidence, doesn't want to see the evidence.

[trueblue2007]

8. my emotions have taken a toll since Trump stole the election. 3 years of depression.

[Perseus]

11. But don't let him, we are all suffering some anxiety, but we cannot let him, if we do he wins

We must work to open as many people's eyes as we can, to continue spreading the truth and hope that some people will react, but we must continue to work and make our contribution, even if it is small, but lets not despair, we are going to get him out and we will get the crooks who enable him out too.

[calimary]

22. Very nice post! Thank you Perseus.

We should keep this one to reread often, for encouragement.

[LiberalLovinLug]

6. I'm to the left of Schiff

And the establishment Democrats that he associates with most.

But I wish I could vote for him over ALL of the other candidates. He'd make a great President.

7. and then at the break, PBS immediately cut to a commentator who had a "meh" attitude

not even giving a viewer time to let the compelling case and emotion of Schiff's extraordinary speech sink in.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. I am so done with PBS. Like listening to Chuck Toad with more commercials. The both-sider-isms

is just total bullshit. Repugs are nothing like the former GOP. They have been co-opted and are as dangerous as Mussolini's brown shirts. This is going bad real fast if the Senate folds to the new orange Fuerher. Spineless cowards and traitors to their oath.

[diva77]

18. If you feel like it, you can write to let them know your thoughts

[e-mail]

I'll never forget when woodruff congratulated a rethug senator on passing the massive tax cut heist.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. They have been totally co-opted. Great article in Harpers magazine 5 years ago on their demise

[cry baby]

9. I thought I might be the only one that is moved to tears every time

Mr. Schiff is up to speak.

My heart is bursting with pride in him and his dignified manor in the face of his enormous challenge.

How lucky this country would be if he was to run for president some day. He inspires me like President Obama does.

[dchill]

10. He does us all proud.

[ALBliberal]

12. He will make a fine President one day.

He has a big heart which reminds me of Jimmy
Carter. And a humility that is special. Yes Obama and other also do. But it’s something about the earnestness and ...well ...self sacrifice as well as unabashed honesty that comes across that tugs at my heart strings. I truly believe he as well as Nancy Pelosi were destined for this crucial moment in time that our country is facing.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. He has my utmost respect and is a true patriot.

[mysteryowl]

17. We can all understand your emotional response. Us too.

Please, take care of yourself and go do something enjoyable and completely unrelated to politics.

19. K&R, I was livid ... Red Don is such a sell out
