[dewsgirl]

[BumRushDaShow]

1. Other links (they are slowly coming online)

[BumRushDaShow]

2. Kick!

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Nadler gavelling in.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. H.R. 755 - the Impeachment resolution to be considered and voted out of committee

[malaise]

5. Impeaching Don the Con

Oh Happy Day!

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Clerk is reading the text of the resolution into the record

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Collins doing a "process whine" point of order - issue of minority hearing request

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Nadler explaining - in legislative lingo - why Collins point of order is bullshit

[BumRushDaShow]

9. BWAH! Nadler listing all the incidents when the GOP shut the Democrats down

Zoo show.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Voting to table the appeal of the ruling of the chair (had ruled against Collins' bs point of order)

[Mr. Sparkle]

11. Collins is such a dick

[BumRushDaShow]

12. The odd thing though

is that he and Nadler are "good friends".

[dewsgirl]

17. I will never understand some of these across the aisle friendships,

especially lately.

[Mr. Sparkle]

19. I would take that with a pinch of salt, Collins sounds like an empty vessel

without any redeeming qualities.

[dewsgirl]

21. He is just awful, but Jim Jordan is worse.

[Mr. Sparkle]

26. It's hard to disagree, especially when you see Jordan specializing in cover-ups his whole career.

Whenever i see him on tv, he makes my skin crawl

[BumRushDaShow]

13. The appeal was tabled. Now starting amendments as part of the markup

[BumRushDaShow]

14. 1st amendment - as a substitute to the current draft text

to replace the name "Donald J. Trump" in the text to "Donald John Trump".

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Collins whining about being in the minority

[Habibi]

16. Many thanks to you and BumRushDaShow

for keeping up with this for us. I just can't manage to watch today.

[MFGsunny]

18. + 1000 n/t

[dewsgirl]

20. BumRushDaShow does all the work, I just post the streams.

and you're welcome.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. I didn't even realize they had started the markup last night

and went pretty late (I had ended up in bed).



One of my sisters had texted me last night about "watching the impeachment" and I wasn't sure what she was talking about.

[dewsgirl]

50. I didn't either, it kind of just showed up in my subs on YT.

Everything is moving so fast. Thank you for all the work you do, keeping everyone updated, sometimes I just can't handle the idiots and have to tune out for a bit.

[BumRushDaShow]

58. You are welcome!

I know I couldn't follow gavel to gavel during the Clinton impeachment and could barely follow along as a junior high student during the Nixon Watergate hearings, but now that I am retired, I wanted to make use of my now having the time to watch this!

[dewsgirl]

63. You are doing a great job.

[CTyankee]

22. Geez, those rethugs on the committee...

"If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."

sheesh...

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Ted Deutch (D-FL) just threw Collins' bs whine right into the dumpster regarding the "history"

of the committee and the crap about "minority witnesses".

[BumRushDaShow]

24. GYMSUIT submits an amendment to strike Article 1 of the resolution

[eleny]

29. He enjoyed being in the majority for the better part of 10 years

It's not as much fun being in the minority. He hasn't adjusted his act yet, lol. He still oozes privilege as if what he says really matters today.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. Exactly!

They hate it and the Democrats are not even doing a fraction of assertion of "power" that people like Nunes, Gowdy, and Issa have done to Democrats.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. David Cicilline (D-RI) is ticking off everything Drumpf did that justifies the impeachment Article 1

to argue against Gymsuit's nonsense.

[getagrip_already]

30. he was ready - gym wan't....

Gym rattled off his 4 lies and 5 meeting crap. Cicilini is taking him to the wood shed.

He took the opportunity to re-state the real facts. Jordan was seathing.

[BumRushDaShow]

33. Gymsuit only has talking points

Cicilline has FACTS.

[BumRushDaShow]

28. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) up - whining about process

Edit - she has only been in that seat for 1 year after replacing Trent Franks so her talk about "history" of impeachment is bullshit.

[getagrip_already]

31. the witnesses they wanted were jokes - not fact witnesses

the whistleblower, biden(s), schiff....

None of those could add ANYTHING to the facts. Only the noise.

Someone should point that out.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. I think that has previously been pointed out many times

As annoying as the GOP talking points have been, Democrats have followed-up to correct the record every time.

[getagrip_already]

43. missed it.. I've been listening, but

Haven't heard that. I'm working and this is background noise. Apologies if I missed it.

[Marthe48]

34. Is that blond woman nattering on much longer?

n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

41. Not exactly Churchillian eloquence, is it?

That was bad even by republican standards.

[Marthe48]

51. I muted her on first lie

I try to listen to both sides, but the lying and twisted viewpoints are impossible to take.

[BumRushDaShow]

35. Joe Neguse (D-CO) up - correcting the record regarding the previous hearings

and the bullshit from Lesko about not being allowed in the Intelligence Committee hearings.

"Let's dispense from the process arguments".

Also saying that the Judiciary Committee did not have "fact witnesses" during the Clinton impeachment hearings - mainly just talked to Ken Starr.

"Facts matter".

[BumRushDaShow]

36. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) - adding to Neguse's history lesson regarding Nixon

and how most of the "hearings" that people were aware of were from the Senate Watergate hearings - NOT the House Judiciary Committee.

[dem4decades]

37. Can a Democrat just ask a Republican if foreign intervention into a US election is acceptable?

Let each one own their answer.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. The media has chased many GOP reps and Senators around for a month now

and not one will answer the question and will duck into elevators or down halls or into rooms.

[BumRushDaShow]

66. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) had just asked that question of them!!!

And underscored not only that but also asked would they accept conditioning aid.

[BumRushDaShow]

38. Sensenstupid up (James Sensenbrenner (R-WI))

Whining about process... "no defense" (ignoring that the President was invited to bring in people and chose to refuse).

[BumRushDaShow]

42. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) up

She is correcting the record about her time during the Clinton impeachment. Describing the "Special Prosecutor" statue vs what is going on now (that statute had expired).

The Special Prosecutor was not interfered with because they were independent vs Mueller who worked for DOJ and was limited.

[BumRushDaShow]

44. Sheila reading directly from the call transcript regarding Ukraine's asking for aid

followed by the "do us a favor though" and "have the AG call you to get to the bottom of it (investigation of Bidens)".

[BumRushDaShow]

45. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) - adding to Sheila's comments and putting an article into the record

regarding the deaths of Ukrainians while the money was being held.

[getagrip_already]

46. the javelins are a non-issue.....

They are being kept hundreds of miles from the shooting under lock and key. Our military doesn't want the russians getting them. That could give them access to sensitive tech.

They aren't being used. It's the remainder of the aid that is important. But these are shiny objects, so people keep bringing them up.

[BumRushDaShow]

47. Steve Chabot (R-OH) up - trying to obfuscate what "abuse of power"

and is refusing to deal with impeachment not needing referebce "criminal statute".

[Marthe48]

57. Is Chabot a Dem or a repuke?

I googled him on seeing your post, and he is listed as republican.

[BumRushDaShow]

60. Fixed it thanks!

(multitasking )

[BumRushDaShow]

61. Jeffries is correcting the record about the timeline for the aid

[Marthe48]

75. Thank you!

sensory input corrected

[getagrip_already]

48. too funny - msnbc cut out from the talking puke to discuss.....

[BumRushDaShow]

49. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) up - CORRECTING THE BULLSHIT from Chabot about "no crimes"

[BumRushDaShow]

52. Swalwell has JUST described statutory crimes that were broken.

(Can't wait for him to post his comments )

[BumRushDaShow]

53. Lofgren just invoked Stormy Daniels

in order to counter the idiotic remarks about Clinton "lying about sex".

[BumRushDaShow]

54. Gocart is up (Louis Gohmert (R-TX)

spouting CT nonsense.

[dewsgirl]

55. Man the gaslighting is

[Tommy_Carcetti]

56. Oh my God. They're impeaching Bill Clinton, again.

Sensenbrenner sounds like a guy you'd find sitting at the end of the local bar for hours on end.

[BumRushDaShow]

59. Gymsuit spouted some nonsense that I muted and now Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is up

And pointing out the mention of Ghouliani's name ON THE CALL 3 times! Someone who is not in the State Department, etc.

[BumRushDaShow]

62. Jeffries done. *MUTE* GRATES IS UP (Matt Gaetz R-FL)

He just uttered Swalwell's name in vane and the camera switched to Swalwell who had the "Schiff look" but with a little smirk!

[BumRushDaShow]

64. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) up - correcting the "both ways" argument

Pointing out that aid was released in 2017 & 2018 (with a corrupt Ukrainian President) but suddenly didn't want to do it this year - right when Biden announced and with a new anti-corruption President.

[BumRushDaShow]

65. Jayapal yielding to Veronica Escobar (D-TX)

[backtoblue]

67. That was excellent!

[BumRushDaShow]

68. Ken Buck (R-CO) up.

And obfuscating again about impeachment and "crime". The GOP argued there have to be "crimes" and when Swalwell listed the crimes and now Buck is throwing a fit trying to twist around to dispute it.

Swalwell is giving the "Schiff look"!

[backtoblue]

69. Buck basically making the case to investigate the jrs and jrette

[uponit7771]

80. What's crazy is their gas lighting is so obvious

[BumRushDaShow]

70. Buck is spouting the bullshit CT again - yielded to Andy Biggs (R-AZ) to add to the CT

[Marthe48]

79. What is CT

I hate to ask, but thanks!

[Zorro]

81. Conspiracy Theory

[Marthe48]

95. thanks. I knew I knew it

n/t Just a lapse on my part.

[BumRushDaShow]

84. What Zorro posted

Sorry...

[BumRushDaShow]

71. Swalwell just put a Faux Snooze article into the record of the 34 people and 3 companies indicted

as a result of the Mueller investigation!

[BumRushDaShow]

72. GRATES & GYMSUIT going on about something - using another rep's time.

[uponit7771]

73. They should write the republican objections down, they're just repeating themselves

[BumRushDaShow]

74. Mike Johnson (R-LA) up

[dem4decades]

76. How did Republicans go back to back? Granted Gaetz yielded to Jordan but shit, this is too much.

It's tough enough to listen without hearing Gaetz, Jordan and this asshole in a row.

[BumRushDaShow]

77. In this case - it doesn't have to be "equal" time - it is whoever wants to contribute

related emarks for a 5 minute period. They are doing a markup and debate over amendments.

[BumRushDaShow]

78. David Cicilline (D-RI) is correcting the GRATES/GYMSUIT/Johnson CT bullshit in no uncertain terms!!

[BumRushDaShow]

82. Time yielded from Cicilline to Jamie Raskin (D-MD) for a brief followup.

[BumRushDaShow]

83. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) again - whining now

"everyone is against this President"

[BumRushDaShow]

85. Biggs just yielded to Buck and Buck is throwing Sondland under the bus

Called him the Democrats "witness".

[BumRushDaShow]

86. Ratfucker (John Ratcliff R-TX) up - whine whine whistleblower whine

[BumRushDaShow]

87. Just handed off to GYMSUIT again - MUTE

[BumRushDaShow]

88. Val Demmings (D-FL) up - correcting the record

[BumRushDaShow]

89. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) - unanimous consent to add junk to the record

[BumRushDaShow]

90. Martha Roby (R-AL) up and yielded to Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA)

Attempting to keep at the CT about the Bidens.

[BumRushDaShow]

91. Reschenthaler done yielded back to Roby who now yielded time GOCART (Gohmert R-TX)

[BumRushDaShow]

92. OMG GOCART just blew it and history out the window

by claiming that "Well" Shrub "put sanctions on Russia for invading Georgia to go after Russia and then forgets that Drumpf tried to REMOVE sanctions for Putin - despite Obama adding sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine.

[BumRushDaShow]

93. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) clarifying what Sondland testified - "the big stuff"

not hearsay - had a "public" phone call with the President at a restaurant that people could hear. And Sondland testified what Drumpf wanted.

Raskin BRINGING UP $25 million paid out for Trump University - supposed to be the "anti corruption President".

[BumRushDaShow]

94. Raskin smacking down the "process" objections with them whining about

the meetings "in the basement". "Would they want them on the 1st floor or the 2nd floor?" Facts are facts!

[BumRushDaShow]

96. Kelly Armgstrong (R-ND) up - whining about Sondland

and what Sondland testified.

Now going through supposed "abuse of power" by Raygun, Clinton, Shrub, Obama".

[BumRushDaShow]

97. Mike Johnson (R-LA) has time yielded to him to whine.

[BumRushDaShow]

98. ****House Judiciary votes on articles of impeachment. Live stream. thread 2**** up

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212774391

[Turbineguy]

99. Wow!

I could commit all sorts of crimes if I had these republican former prosecutors against me.

Me, confessing: "I stopped him on the street and held my gun to his chest!"

Pro: "Did you tell him you were robbing him?" Did you inform him so that he would understand he was a victim and you were a robber?" Did you use the word "demand" in your language?" Where both of you standing on the sidewalk and not the street. a crosswalk or a dark alley?" "Did the victim know your gun was loaded?"

[dewsgirl]

100. LoL
