My two word answer to any Republican who complains about us not following Congressional

rules by holding up the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate.

Merrick Garland.

My four word answer is "Merrick Garland, fuck off."

"We do not strut... EVER"

In a season two episode of West Wing, Shibboleth, Leo McGarry requested that his sister disqualify herself from a cabinet appointment because years earlier she had called a reporter to capture the image of the state arresting and handcuffing two praying high school students.
Leo: “we have laws..and they are difficult and they have to be enforced… and it’s right that they are enforced,” he said: “But we do not strut… EVER.”

Nancy Pelosi reminded me of that moment today when she gave her caucus "the look."
Very proud today, of everything done today.

hey you're bringing your briefcase today for your nationally televised impeachment hearing?

I'm officially an undecided voter now. It's weird.

My Candidate dropped out (Kamala) and I find myself in unfamiliar territory, undecided.
It's a place I haven't been in at least 20+ years, if ever.
I literally can't remember when I was undecided in primary season last, maybe 1988?
Worse yet, I'm not even sure what will win me over.
I want to beat Trump, and I want solid progressive policies moving forward too.
We can have both IMHO.
I have general amiable feelings for most of the candidates in our field.
Win me over, make the case for your candidate.
I'm not going to debate any of it.
I'm on a listening tour.

So, that Peloton commercial...

The husband gives his anorexic, and needs to eat a sandwich, wife a piece of exercise equipment that he doesn’t even bother to gift wrap, so she shoots a video of herself using the bike as a gift for him.

Someone at Peloton did not understand O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi.

Kamala Harris is getting more coverage on MSNBC for dropping out than the whole time

she was running

It's a one day story.

A dead terrorist that few average Americans have heard of is gone, fine.
Trump got one news cycle.
But tomorrow we'll be back to business as usual.
More congressional committees are meeting, interviewing witnesses, and continuing the process to Impeach Trump for corruption, abuse of power, and more.

Ukraine-Gate. The media labels everything, but they haven't labeled this.

Because they know it would help Americans understand it.
They are basically calling it the Impeachment story.
Because that's what the Democrats are doing.
The onus is on Democrats that way.
But it's for Trump's crimes and abuses of power over Ukraine.
Ukraine-gate
Ukraine-gate
Ukraine-gate

Pass it on.

When you can't defend the crime and criminal, attack the trial and the judges

That's all the GOP has left.

We are watching the disintegration of a party before our eyes.

Everything they claimed they once stood for, every principle, has been abandoned to side with and defend Trump.

They love Russia now, releasing tax returns is bad, paying hush money to a mistress is good, they have no idea where they stand on national security anymore, following Congressional rules is bad too.

But they can't defend him so they are left to attack themselves really.
Congressional rules are bad! Storm a room their members on the committee are sitting in already and lie.

It would be funny if it wasn't so morally pathetic.

GOPanic

The only reason you storm a SCIF room is panic.

They know they have no real defense left for Trump anymore

Lawlessness is their only option left.

Since defending Trump means abandoning national security positions why not just storm a secure location with your cell phones and start tweeting?

Hopefully the House Ethics Committee and Homeland Security Committee will take these matters up.
