[Mme. Defarge]

1. I'm your huckleberry.

[hatrack]

22. He has not yet begun to defile himself . . .

[MontanaMama]

26. I think he's begun to soil

his own drawers, however...

[Mme. Defarge]

30. He could never be mistaken for an educated man.

Then again, he may be the Antichrist.

[hatrack]

32. So, is he going to do something, or just stand there and bleed?

[Mme. Defarge]

35. His hypocrisy know no bounds

[malaise]

2. Caption for both

Please please don't let them find my links to Lev and Igor

[fleur-de-lisa]

5. And all that illegal Russian cash that was laundered through the RNC during the 2016 election.

[stillcool]

10. and the NRA...

[Captain Zero]

21. And, God, please don't let them find the Russian Ca$h I got from the NRA in 2016

25. "They're trying to take away my sugar daddy!"

[abqtommy]

3. They has a big sad 'cause they got caught bein' bad.

[blogslut]

4. The faces on the GOP members for the two rounds of "Nay" votes

...were the saddest faces I ever did see.

[Miles Archer]

6. Yeah, I missed yesterday's 14 hours of smirking and showboating

Love how Collins announced his intention to file dissent and threw down his pen as he stormed out. I just posted the video in Video & Multimedia.

[TheBlackAdder]

7. Last time he had that face, he found out he was being sued for turning his back on sex misconduct.

[dem4decades]

8. Are those cases moving forward? We need depositions.

[dewsgirl]

9. He looks like he has aged 10 years, since this process began.

[2naSalit]

11. He does. Between the stress

of being a consummate loser and the meth, it's just a matter of time until his aneurysm.

[dewsgirl]

15. I agree 100 percent.

[lagomorph777]

17. Gym Jerkin looks gray, very very ill.

That makes me so happy.

[dewsgirl]

18. He really does look like shit.

[lunatica]

12. Those are the faces I want to see

They gave their best tantrum. They screeched and screamed and shouted and hollered and waved their arms around and banged on the table and turned red in their rage filled spittle spewing rants. All for naught.

They are stunned. STUNNED!

Sad.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

27. "rage filled spittle spewing rants"

That phrase, "rage filled spittle spewing rants", is just begging to be the caption of a collage of still photos from the inquiry hearings.

[lunatica]

31. If you want to compile such images

you’re quite welcomed to use it.

I think a political animated cartoon would be good too. The visual of the spittle spattering everything in the vicinity like water coming off a wet dog wringing itself is compelling.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

33. I can imagine it, I just can't create it

I have an English mastiff in the house who can sling drool 20 ft. He might be able to compete with those self-flagellating Russiapublicans.

[lunatica]

34. Someone kind of came up with a similar idea

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017561756

[Hermit-The-Prog]

36. thanks for the link!

I hadn't seen that.

Leave it to EarlG.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Did they cry next?

[Pepsidog]

14. He looks like a Neanderthal but not quite as intelligent.

[gopiscrap]

16. fuck m'em they cam all rot in hell

[progressoid]

19. They did their job. Now they are all tuckered out.

Their job was to scream and yell about how this is all a partisan witch hunt.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. to appease

Trump, The Republican Senators, and the entire Republican Party.

In the back of their minds, they so desperately need to gain acceptance for their efforts, because they know the second this whole s***storm hits the Republican Senate it will be Dead On Arrival. period.

All over but the Senate's check-mate award of turning our beloved Democracy into a true Tyrannical Fascist Government......

WASF

[Ahpook]

20. His momma needs to..

Lay out better clothes for him in the morning.

[Captain Zero]

23. His momma gonna lose her social security too

if her screwball, jerk off, kid stays in Congress

[matt819]

28. This was the most sensible tweet in the linked article

Since it's from The Rude Pundit, sensible may not be the best word, but he is 100% right.


Democrats have to go full court press, balls to the wall on messaging around removing Trump from office. They can't rely on Americans actually understanding any of this. Ads, town halls, fuckin' billboards. All of it. Treat it like a campaign.

— The Rude Pundit (@rudepundit) December 13, 2019

If Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg want to do some good, take a few hundred million and create campaigns to get this out to Republicans wherever they are. In simple, direct language. No mocking (leave that to the Rude Pundit and others). Full page ads in republican area newspapers and magazines along with the nationals. Hell, expand this internationally so that overseas voters are encouraged to contact their legislators. Billboards, advertising, banner ads, websites, social media. Start using FB advertising the way Russians and Republicans use FB advertising. Non-stop. Then every Democrat needs to hold town halls in areas where they have republican constituents. (Can a legislator hold a town hall in a district that is not their own?) And this needs to be done now. As in beginning this weekend and continuing as long as it takes.

One more thing. Non-stop fact checking and immediate responses in all social media to trump's lies. As fast as he can tweet, rebuttals and fact-checking go up and go viral. How's this? Daily ads in the NYT and the other majors rebutting every single one of trump's lies from the day before. Ad in the same place in every paper. If possible, get the same ads in RW papers.

This is where billionaires can do good right now.

Also, Bezos should buy Fox News, but that might take a little while longer.

[Miles Archer]

29. Yes, there's no room for autopilot or passivity.

It will be...some say already is...the most vile presidential campaign of our lifetime. Time to consider Sean Connery asking Kevin Costner, in "The Untouchables," how badly he wants to win. The Trump campaign will roll out every piece of dirt they can find, and will make up most of it. 2020 won't be a year to take the high ground. Not suggesting that Democrats "become" Trump at all, but there are ways to counteract what he'll put out, and that will take aggression and persistence.

37. Can't Gym just look the other way like he does in the locker room?

38. Trump Era coming to a close.
