(9,971 posts)The Democrats are arguing facts and the Republicans are succumbing to histrionics because those mean Democrats wont let the Criminal-in-Chief off the hook. Scumbags. Most of them sound like illiterate, raving lunatics.

I grew up in the church, I believe in God, Jesus and Heaven and Hell
I do not subscribe to organized religion however.
None of these repukes preachers or not embody the spirit of Jesus
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)Now blaming the Democrats for the Drumpf memo. I expect this was required as a written justification for why the money was held - which is Congress's role.

(43,173 posts)There was no reason for Trump to be using his personal attorney to conduct foreign policy.
None at all.
It is a flat out, in your face, abuse of power. Case closed.

(102,225 posts)I've had to work today and it seems every time I had a few min to tune it, it was some really anger-inducing RWer like Gohmert, Gaetz, Jordan. Honestly, I don't think I COULD have sat through the entire thing.
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)Hopefully when they run out of amendment attempts and "debate" on them.
Apparently the went from like 7pm ET - 11 pm ET last night as the first part of this mark up.

(128,844 posts)Walking through the timeline and zeroing in on Eisenberg having the call transcript being put in a special location.
They knew what the President had done was wrong.
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)Pointing out the bullshit that the GOP is claiming that all Democrats want to do is impeach.
Congress can walk and chew gum at the same time.
This very day a bill for expansion of Medicare Coverage including vision/dental AND Prescription Drug pricing. Ticking off a couple more things they just passed.
And mentioned the agreement for appropriations for FY2020.
Do not be deceived. Have passed over 275 bills.
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)Ignoring all the GOP's frivolous nonsense about "rooms and room temperature".
The GOP has the problem of trying to defend someone who has done all that President done. And they have promoted Putin's favorite conspiracy that it wasn't Russia but Ukraine that interfered.
Just cited Faux Snooze poll that the majority want the impeachment.
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)Bringing up Fruman and Parnas and Ghouliani and their smear campaign against Yovanovich.

(128,844 posts)to strike all of the 2nd Article of Impeachment.
Now invoking "Fast and Furious" and wants the "courts" to decide.
The_Counsel
(1,660 posts)...that the House should have gone to the courts first in order to get documents or witnesses.
It was stupid when Turley said it last week.
It was stupid an hour or so ago when Gaetz said it.
It is STILL stupid now that Reschenthaler is saying it.
There are reasons why Congress has subpoena power. It's in Article I. It is NOT subject to dispute....
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)answer - "The President is".
It should be unnecessary to go to courts to force appearance to a lawful House subpoena otherwise the power of impeachment would be neutered.

BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)then he should look at all the people he is associated with him who were sent to prison or are awaiting court appearances.
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)the problem of getting nothing from the WH without even an assertion of privilege.
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)to request documents.
He can't defend this shit - any "court" was over the "executive privilege" arguments where here the WH refused to turn anything over - not even asserting privilege.
The_Counsel
(1,660 posts)The Congress has the SOLE power to impeach.
The Congress has the power to investigate that which it can regulate.
The Congress has subpoena power RE: documents/witnesses in aid of its legislative powers.
The Congress MAY NOT cede any of its power to any or both of the other co-equal branches.
Migod....does one really have to go to law school to figure this out...???
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)which means (IMHO) they should be disbarred.
They have put their own personal aspirations ahead of the country.
LiberalFighter
(50,888 posts)BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)and the bullshit of whether the inquiry is "legitimate" or not. Not the WH right to do. President claims he does not recognize their impeachment inquiry and this that is an obstruction of congress.

"Executive not dealing in a reasonable manner". Drumpf has made a career of suing - clogged up the courts for decades because he usually loses. Made up something called "absolute immunity". Never before in history has this happened.

Has instructed State not to give info and instructed witnesses not to come to testify. Using the power of office to hide the extent of that abuse.

Well, based on the poison the Rs were trying to push, they had there 5 minutes of fame and couldn't make the argument. Rs only had vitriol to the process of seeing another R go down in IMPEACHMENT.
