Should be the fastest impeachment in history....

[Sogo]

Play the tape for the House.

Play the tape for the Senate.

Guilty.

Done.

[RockRaven]

1. Should be. But won't, probably.

[mucifer]

2. Unfortunately, it's not 1973 so no rule of law.

[triron]

4. We are a banana republic. eos.

I am ashamed of this.

[handmade34]

3. R's don't care...

if they cared, we would never have gotten to this point

[Shermann]

5. The Republican defense to "Play the tape" would be...

"Play the tape"!

It'd be "Read the transcript" all over again.

[triron]

6. knr

7. Been there. Done that.

Is there any difference between this call and the Ukranian call?

[Sogo]

8. We didn't have that tape,

and the Rs seemed to think there wasn't enough evidence. How could they refute this?

[BumRushDaShow]

9. They'll claim

(and I already started seeing the b.s. about this) that the tape was "heavily edited" and we would be back to "but the transcripts!!11!!11!!!" nonsense.

As it is, they normally have hearings and would need to try to schedule testimony from parties on the call like Raffensberger. But with a run-off election about to happen Tuesday (the results of which most likely will be challenged), there wouldn't be any appearance by him or any others from GA, any time soon.

10. Same way they refute this election: pure bullshit.

Republicans have been fact challenged since Colin Powell did his little dog-and-pony show about mobile weapon labs in Iraq in 2003.

On that day, at the UN, the Republican party left any and all facts and embraced bullshit.
