I'm not watching so I didn't hear it and I don't know who it was.

I find it's better for my blood pressure to stay away from the Impeachment hearings.

and have for many, many years. Just like referring to "I" "RAN" instead of "Ir" "ahn".

It's an intentional dig. They know it. We know it. It's childish.

"I speak for this "Democrat Party" you keep talking about, but we in the Democratic Party..." And, without emphasizing he "ic" part. Throw it right back at them for a change. Make their childish shit look as stupid as it is.

given that there are literally thousands of lying hypocrites currently infesting the GOP, which lying hypocrite are you referring to?

Thuggee refers to the acts of Thugs, an organized gang of professional robbers and murderers. The English language word thug traces its roots to the Hindi ठग, which means 'swindler' or 'deceiver'. Related words are the verb thugna, from the Sanskrit स्थग and स्थगति. Wikipedia

To my ears, it ALWAYS sounds illiterate. Thus:
*Th’ Democrat pahr-dy is fulla communiss.*

If you say it that way, you’re a real down-home, Chinese-made ‘Murican flag wavin’ sumbitch.

Others do it because they are just plain stupid and lacking in elementary rules of grammar/syntax.
