48. The Republicans look silly doing their clown show

It's obvious that they are afraid and so are trying to make a joke out of it and Dean's 1-liners are shutting them down effectively. They all keep yielding their time to an alleged perp because they know they are fucked and can't or won't put on the performance that they have been told to engage in.

As was readily predictable, none of the major networks are carrying this, not even MSNBC. SunSeeker Jun 2019 #51

A large percentage of adults don't watch cable news. Kaleva Jun 2019 #57

If they were impeachment hearings, they'd be on regular broadcast networks. nt SunSeeker Jun 2019 #61

No they wouldn't. BumRushDaShow Jun 2019 #62

I disagree. SunSeeker Jun 2019 #64

They would be on during The Price Is Right, Dr. Oz and General Hospital EffieBlack Jun 2019 #66

No, not the same thing as breaking into prime time programming. nt SunSeeker Jun 2019 #71

During Watergate, only PBS ran the hearings during the day BumRushDaShow Jun 2019 #67

Everyone has PBS. That would get a lot more eyeballs than the Judiciary web feed. nt SunSeeker Jun 2019 #72

Then you must be really pleased that PBS covered it live today. StarfishSaver Jun 2019 #73

The PBS station here in LA certainly didn't carry it all day. Maybe snippets during their News. SunSeeker Jun 2019 #78

That's if you can keep the GOP from trying to defund it. BumRushDaShow Jun 2019 #74

I agree, watoos Jun 2019 #58

Yup. That Heritage Foundation stooge would not be at an impeachment investigation hearing. SunSeeker Jun 2019 #60

looks like CSpan will have it tonight starting at 8:30 NJCher Jun 2019 #55
