1. Suckylow is starting to wrap up his bullshit...

[Arkansas Granny]

2. He ran out of fresh material when he started. He's got nothing, he knows he's got nothing and

desperation is starting to show.

[Cornell Engineer]

12. This scummy dude is making me sick

Suckublow sounding a little desperate today. Expecting him to break into tears any minute now.

I'd be desperate too if I thought I was gonna get prosecuted next year.

[BumRushDaShow]

3. And he just gave Bolton's book a plug

"someone who used to work..."

[BumRushDaShow]

4. He's done

[BumRushDaShow]

5. ****15 MINUTE RECESS**** and will continue 5 minute questions from members when they return

[nolabear]

6. And now for your recess listening pleasure...

[Kali]

[nolabear]

[crickets]

15. That is hilarious!

[BumRushDaShow]

16. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

7. According to CSPAN2, Cippycup will do the final remarks when they return

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. "Danger, danger, danger." Relaying a subtle threat to Russiapublicans?

[crickets]

10. Zelensky did not "win," he is still dealing with the fallout from this.

The aid was only released because you got caught, and yes withholding it did get soldiers killed.

The lies are appalling.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. We must not lose sight of the real and present DANGER in our WH.

[crickets]

17. Almost forgot two great remedies for the "Lies, lies, lies, yeah!"

House Intelligence Committee Twitter real-time rebuttals

Wonkette: WHAR JOHN BOLTON? Impeachment Liveblog, Day 1,265!

That's better.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. ****BACK IN SESSION****

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Cippycup is up for their conclusion.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Now Cippy is showing 22 year old clips of Nadler and Lofgren

[crickets]

33. Couldn't possibly be abusing or ignoring context, could they? nt

[BumRushDaShow]

21. There is no equating Clinton with Drumpf

The situations are like day and night.

[maxsolomon]

39. I compare them all the time.

Clinton's Impeachment? Hit job.

Trump's? Essential to the history of the Nation.

Never forget: McConnell (and others still in the Senate) voted to convict.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. But one was not a national security risk

and the other IS!!!

[Mersky]

22. Ah yes, the damning evidence of calling impeachment for a bj

Political.



If Clinton was demonstrably trying to undermine the 2000 election with the help of a foreign government, Cippy might have had a real point.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. He has the damn nerve to quote Benjamin Franklin

because Franklin EXACTLY described ilk like him and who is in the WH.

[nolabear]

25. IMPEACH! IMPEACH!! IMPEACH!!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

24. Wow. He's done!!!

[nolabear]

26. He's a broken man...

[BumRushDaShow]

27. Turtle doing schedule - questioning starting tomorrow. 8 hours divided and then the same Thursday

(total 16 hours of questions over 2 days)

[BumRushDaShow]

28. Roberts quoting what Renquist did during the Clinton impeachment - the "5 minute answer" rule

[BumRushDaShow]

29. ***ADJOURNED FOR THE DAY UNTIL WEDNESDAY JAN. 29, 2020***

[rzemanfl]

32. All my devices say today is the 28th. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

34. You are right

(warp time)

[Arkansas Granny]

30. When and how will they address the matter of witnesses?

[maxsolomon]

41. after the questions

they'll "take it up"

democracy dies Friday.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. Clinton impeachment was a political hatchet job ...

Bill Clinton was impeached, after years of very expensive digging produced nothing but his lie about sexual misconduct, because

Nixon was proven, on his own tapes, to be a crook. Nixon was on the verge of self-impeaching.

Trump was impeached because of his own words, his own "transcript", his own actions, which violated his oath of office and threaten the fairness of our next election. As Nancy Pelosi pointed out, he self-impeached.

[crickets]

35. +1

[Mersky]

37. tRump totally self-impeached

Is evident.

[crickets]

36. Winding up talking about the sacred right to vote,

importance of elections blahblah. Twisting the meaning of the Franklin quote "It's a Republic, if you can keep it" to "It's a Republic, if they let us keep it."

"This should end as quickly as possible!"

That was pathetic.

[Cornell Engineer]

38. I'm not saying that Trump's legal team was ineffective...

but I saw a better defense on archived footage of the Nuremberg Trials.

There's only one man who coulda successfully defended Fuhrer Drumpf...

"May the Farce be with you."

[ancianita]

42. Thank you, BRDS, for handling what I call an endurance test for our benefit.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. You are welcome

More to come the rest of the week!

[bucolic_frolic]

44. I can't watch it, I'm just exhausted

and so numb I feel like general anaesthesia, and hoping for good news on the waking up side.

We do have dedicated DU members, BRDS pulls these marathons every week.

[BumRushDaShow]

45. WAPO HAS A BREAKING

Turtle doesn't have the votes to BLOCK witnesses!

46. did something happen?

what was the deal with the short closing? I left during the break and get back to watch a recording I figured would be at least an hour long and it was only 15 minutes! was that planned or did something unexpected happen??? why did they bother with the break?
