"Dems have a smug and snotty approach to governing." WTF?? Who died and made #LauraIngraham our judge and jury? I consider the GOP approach to governing reckless, racist, arrogant and fiscally demented! The national debt is over $4 trillion! Why don't you talk about that??

Trump's Defenders are his criminal accomplices-not just enablers-but ACTIVE participants
It’s not a question of the Republicans taking a legitimate political position. It’s the Republicans actively aiding and abetting a criminal president in his quest to avoid being held accountable for his crimes.

A Ukranian soldier asks: "While they were playing with our aid-Did you know we were dying out here"
A Ukrainian soldier asked @ChristopherJM, "While they were playing with our aid, I wonder, did they know we were dying out here?”In fact, if the war had never erupted in the first place, there might not even be an impeachment inquiry. At the heart of the matter is the question of whether Trump froze the latest package of US security aid for Ukraine to pressure the country’s newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky, into investigating Trump’s political rival and the unfounded theory that Kyiv — not Moscow — had interfered in the 2016 election.
The aid freeze was overturned in September, but the damage had already been done. For Moscow, it had signaled that it still has the upper hand in the war and in peace negotiations being pushed by Zelensky. For Kyiv, it had a chilling effect that spread through the Ukrainian capital, where stunned officials began questioning their longtime ally’s commitment.
That chill also spread to the Donbas trenches, where soldiers like Stas said many of their comrades had been killed while the aid was being held up.
“While they were playing with our aid, I wonder, did they know we were dying out here?” asked Oleksandr, a sergeant in the 14th Mechanized Brigade who goes by the call sign “kuvyrok,” or “somersault.” As we crept through trenches outside the village of Krymske, 40 miles northwest of Stas’s position, careful to keep our heads down and out of Russian snipers’ sights, Oleksandr said at least two soldiers were killed at the position over the summer.

Q Mr. President, what exactly did you hope Zelensky would do about the Bidens after your phone call?
To some extent, you almost have to laugh, it's so absurd. He admitted to the very thing that Republicans are contorting themselves into fleshy origami to deny.
Q. Mr. President, what exactly did you hope Zelensky would do about the Bidens after your phone call? Exactly.
TRUMP: Well, I would think that, if they were honest about it, they’d start a major investigation into the Bidens. It’s a very simple answer.

Parnas Attended Giuliani's Madrid Meeting With Zelensky Aide
Parnas was at the table for a meeting where Giuliani pressured a senior Ukrainian official to investigate a company linked to the Bidens, the official told The Daily Beast.
When Rudy Giuliani met with a senior Ukrainian official in Madrid earlier this year and urged him to investigate the Bidens, Lev Parnas was at the table, according to Andriy Yermak, the Ukrainian official.
Parnas’ presence at the meeting, which has not been previously reported, indicates that he may have significant visibility into Giuliani’s efforts to pressure Kyiv to investigate a company linked to one of President Donald Trump’s political rivals. That pressure campaign is a central focus of congressional Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. Parnas was charged with campaign finance violations last month.
“Giuliani introduced him as his associate/colleague, and probably said his name, but I didn’t remember it, and remembered again when I saw Lev Parnas’ face on TV and thought that this face looks familiar,” Yermak said in a statement provided to The Daily Beast. “But we didn’t have a conversation, I spoke only to Giuliani.”
Joseph Bondy, Parnas’ New York-based criminal defense attorney, confirmed that his client attended the meeting.
