If this were a TV series... this would be the night where he RESIGNS!

[HipChick]

1. Lol!

[malaise]

5. Hey you

[HipChick]

9. Hey back....

[dflprincess]

2. And if the Republicans who were in the Senate when Nixon resigned

were there now, we'd be watching Barry Goldwater being dropped off at the White House on his way in to tell the president he was done.

[Zoonart]

6. Exactly THIS!

The Rethug Party has NO honor.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Satan will be driving the Zamboni in Hell when Moscow Mitch makes that trip.

[dflprincess]

8. So true.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Just saw that - LOL!

We wish...

[CatWoman]

4. she looks like she's been crying

[malaise]

11. ReTHUGs silence is deafening

I can see why she would be crying

[Hekate]

23. She looks very stressed for sure

Hang in there, Rachel.

[Miles Archer]

10. The MAGAts will cling to the "He was protecting us so we wouldn't panic" defense.

As I say more often than I care to recall, what's in front of us now is how the other 60% of America will react.

He never dips below that 40% approval rating on FiveThirtyEight. When the Military comments came out, he went UP to 43.2%...he is now down to 42.6%.

So we'll see how this plays out...it SHOULD be "the smoking gun." We'll see. I can't even pretend to understand it.

[Solly Mack]

12. If this were a TV series, people would be storming the castle.

[Hekate]

24. With tar and feathers and a splintery rail

[UTUSN]

13. Are you in the studio with her?!1 You posted about 3 minutes before she was on my screen!1

[IcyPeas]

14. Somebody in a thread today said...

Rachel's show could be 8 hours tonight. Whoever it was was right!! Just too too much. One story worse than the next. No wonder she looks tired.

[bdamomma]

15. we are

in a deep crisis.

[malaise]

17. The truth

I should be watching tennis but can't move

[shrike3]

21. Yes, she looks like she hasn't had enough sleep.

Deep circles under her eyes.

[IcyPeas]

22. Allergies will give you dark circles too.

[littlemissmartypants]

25. So will vitamin B deficiency. nt

[shrike3]

27. Another explanation. I prefer that one.

To the notion that the poor woman isn't getting enough sleep.

[calimary]

26. The rerun is just coming on now. I see what you mean.

I'm wondering if she and a few other anchors go on camera from home, with no makeup artist, so perhaps we're seeing some of that here.

Trying to cover this so-called "pResident" really is like trying to drink out of a firehose. Just keeping up with the coverage as a news consumer feels like trying to drink out of a firehose.

[Mersky]

16. She's now going over the whistleblower story

A senior Department of Homeland Security official alleges that he was told to stop providing intelligence reports on the threat of Russian interference in the 2020 election, in part because it “made the President look bad,” an instruction he believed would jeopardize national security.

Fmr DHS Secretary, Jen Johnson, is now speaking on its ramifications.

[malaise]

18. Will be like this from now to the end

Bye Don!

[Mersky]

19. It's nuts how much we have to take in

Like Rachel said at the start, any other pResident would be resigning.

If we have to scrape him outta the WH, that’s what we’ll do!
