(11,771 posts)Along with mccarthy's russian mob money campaign financials, nunes dirty dealings and all other republicans up to the necks in this filth. Our friends across the aisle bullshit is giving cover to these fuckers.

(37,369 posts)precisely because he's such an asshole. I wonder if he gets money from Russia.
bluestarone
(17,043 posts)How many amendments so far?
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)(and debated amendments for 4 hours)
underpants
(182,883 posts)Not sure if that's right or where they are in the count.

(129,491 posts)but I know this is historical and rare.
dewsgirl
(14,961 posts)Impeachment Eve and Rachel Maddow and everyone here and on Twitter being so excited, but I swear these GOP idiots are slowly killing my soul through their gaslighting and lies. Today has been the worst, just awful. I know it is rare and we are fortunate(I am certain that is not the proper word) to be here to witness it.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)and in many cases, calling out the other crimes done by those in the WH.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Was invoking the "can't argue the facts" and "can't argue the law".
Schooled them that what they have crafted is exactly like what the GOP used for Clinton.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Drumpf "14,435 lies to date"!
"He might use 'bigly' he might say 'great'...".
Kali
(55,020 posts)BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Now electioneering - Apparently the GOP talking point was to put all this fake "what Drumpf has done" stuff out there.
rzemanfl
(29,569 posts)The "R."
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)because looking at the TV and the 'puter screen - so home keys off. (thank you - I think it is in my Firefox autofill for the reply title)

(4,986 posts)Will share that around and likely replay it a few times so I can sing it in the car, shower, etc.

(14,961 posts)I love the part, "what is "B" doing in this word?" 🤗
Mersky
(4,986 posts)And it's catchy!

(36,137 posts)BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)because they will make up stuff that doesn't exist in the Constitution!
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Crumbles whenever he opens his mouth.
Harping about wafer thin evidence has been his go to rant. And ya know, when reps like him choose to not retain knowledge and information conveyed over these hearings and reports, the arguments they're left with are translucent and tasteless.
miyazaki
(2,250 posts)Even someone on CNN called that fucker a fraud
Mersky
(4,986 posts)Like chabot, republicons on the committee cherry pick this or that catchy CT term or folksy phrase to make complete sentences with all the value of a pile of garbage, and sometimes sewage. They never can seem to grasp the big picture or real, follow-through logic.
Their willful stupidity has been infuriating.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)And brief as he ran out of time.
gademocrat7
(10,670 posts)Spinning spinning crap.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Yes we disagree with policies - the GOP passed their "tax scam" - wealthiest 1% benefited and it exploded the deficit and debt. We disagree with separating children from parents. We disagree with stripping way health care from people.
But that's not why we are here!
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)GOP is trying to defend Drumpf and make him someone that he is not and that he doesn't want to be.
People died because of a selfish selfish President who withheld money.
crickets
(25,983 posts)I don't know how Collins thinks it's okay to smile and laugh during that.
(joined in late today- thanks for the threads!)
MerryBlooms
(11,771 posts)He and his ilk helped kill those Ukranians, and they're proud of it.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)ancianita
(36,137 posts)people die! You lie! Or you're too stupid!" "Maybe you have a reading comprehension problem."
It's just wrong. Our military "gets it."

Mersky
(4,986 posts)Mersky
(4,986 posts)I was around the corner from the tv getting a snack, because if you've seen three collins rants, you've heard em all.
But this one was special: he sounded like an abusive jerk all too familiar with gaslighting his target.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)"We will never abandon the Constitution".
Noting that the language in these articles are the same as what was in the Clinton articles.
Democrats are attempting to keep this Republic.

(41,991 posts)When the last one keels over? When I keel over? Tomorrow? Whenever?
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)since they started last night and vote the articles out of committee. The GOP has to stop submitting ridiculous amendments to delay it.
nolabear
(41,991 posts)BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Now he is reading filler material to use up time.
Mossfern
(2,555 posts)It's not in the articles of impeachment.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)liberalmediaaddict
(769 posts)Or can these Republicans keep talking nonsense forever?
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Many, many, many breathless testimonials for Trump as the second coming of Jesus.
A LOT of repetition.
I am sure the audience of one is thrilled.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)(which I expect are part of the regular rules for markups in this committee)
Usually congress people can be lazy and eventually they will fold.
bluestarone
(17,043 posts)Now if CNN and Msnbc would call out just what the RETHUGS are doing would be GREAT! THAT'S what needs to happen! We ALL know what they are doing! CHEATING fuckers! GREAT JOB Bum!! TYVM!

(31,997 posts)the repukes are stalling because they don't have the power
MustLoveBeagles
(11,636 posts)I can't believe this is STILL going on.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)They apparently didn't change the rules from what they normally do for markups... It's also to show they had a "fair process" allowing amendments from "both sides" along with the debate and vote.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Reminding that Vindman, Taylor, Yovanovich were appointed by Drumpf.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Lofgren providing the history of the "impeachment clause".

(11,636 posts)I'm home sick today but didn't watch earlier because I didn't want to feel worse. I tried watching it on TV this evening but hubby has zero tolerance for republican bullshit. He switched to watching anime and our TV survived.

BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)This is definitely past my bedtime But it's historic.
IcyPeas
(21,907 posts)I had to go out earlier but I was listening to it on NPR in my car. But at 4:00 they stopped and went to regular programming.
watching rachel right now.
H2O Man
(73,622 posts)I haven't laughed so hard in many years. The Democrats are absolutely outstanding. The republicans are pathetic.
IcyPeas
(21,907 posts)she picked this as a particularly good argument.

TENTATIVE HOUSE SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK, acc to Dem leadership aide:
- TUESDAY: Government funding
- WEDNESDAY: Impeachment
- THURSDAY: USMCA
*If things get delayed, House could still be in session Friday. But hope is to leave Thursday for two-week recess

@scottwongDC
.@StenyHoyer says he wants to put funding bills on floor on Tuesday, which means funding and trade deal could sandwich impeachment in this order next week:
-- Government funding
-- Impeachment
-- USMCA

(11,636 posts)I must be a glutton for punishment. I want to watch more of it.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)I want this to end and get voted out of committee but the whole thing is like watching a slow motion trainwreck.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Trying to go back to the GOP "corruption" talking point and "Ukraine was a corrupt country".
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)"If President is impeached and removed then Mike Pence will become President". It's not Democrats "stealing" an election.
GOP is using this as a "campaign aid from Drumpf".
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)and Drumpf met with Lavrov (Russian Foreign Minister) yesterday. This is where we are.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Talking about having been at the Clinton impeachment with Sensenbrenner, Nadler, Lofgren and Jackson-lee.
Gidney N Cloyd

Mersky
(4,986 posts)Playing dumb chabot is selling out the country for tRump.
crickets
(25,983 posts)Enough grandstanding from the Minority; it's going to happen. All this whining serves no real purpose, certainly not after the 12 hour mark.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Repeating exactly the points about abuse of power - the leveraging funding and a meeting.
Plus obstruction of congress - directed every member of the Executive Branch not to speak with Congress.
IndyOp
(15,535 posts)on impeachment and STOP commenting on other issues - the Republicans are loving getting into debates about policy rather than the articles!
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Called Ghouliani's mess a "drug deal" and called him a "hand grenade that will blow everybody up".
spooky3
(34,481 posts)Late hour.
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)Now he lied - claiming "no invesgtation of Biden took place" (meanwhile Gholiani has been in Ukraine attempting to dig up dirt on Biden to manufacture an investigation )
Now whining about MOO MOO's phone records and how MOO MOO got CAUGHT!
BumRushDaShow
(129,491 posts)The President ran on rearranging the government but when further than anyone expected and is a national security risk.
Emphasizing the witnesses were first hand sources.
