US Politics, November 2019: These people are truly sick.

Tip 482: Don't ever interact with your neighbor, as you've almost certainly done something to infuriate them by dint of your existence.

jordan's only "skill" is his ability to be a relatively handsome middle aged white man with a tone of voice and demeanor that fools even dumber people into thinking he must have some sort of coherent point. he's been coasting on that shit since day 1

This describes Pence too

haha Fiona HIll saying "sorry most government leaders hate Trump"

Mike Pence has a voice and demeanor?

Did you forget to pull his string? Common mistake.

his anti-evolution speech on floor of Congress always springs to mind 1st when I think of him, check it out it's p infuriating

I would never have thought to describe Jordan as "relatively handsome," due to the fact that he never stops making his "I'm a tough guy" face.

As I added the word “relatively” to my list before, I thought, “this will help”

You're canceled, Karl.

Finally, I can join the greatest shows of the late 1980s, the only place where I belong! As my final request, I would like to know who the relatively handsome middle aged members of Congress are. In the GOP.

One of them wants to wrestle with you.

Jim Jordan looks like Dexter if he gave up killing people and became an aggravated 6th grade math teacher with prolapsed hemorrhoids

I've been listening to a lot of these hearings, but I always always always have to turn it off a few rounds into member questions because the GOP questioning is so offensive to logic and coherence. It's not even a political reaction, it just makes my brain hurt.

Time to have ol' Darryl Worley deliver a rousing version of 'Have You Forgotten?'

This Dr. Wenstrup guy...

Hill seems to be having a "I've had enough" moment, albeit while calm and collected.

Turner was as bad as Jordan

Richard III!

re: Jordan's tough guy face

this facial expression

Richard III and A$AP Rocky -- truly a world-historic impeachment.

old lunch is canceled for reminding me of cruzbeard

AKA the Soupcatcher

Kevin McCarthy and Meadows et al seem to think anxiously saying "time to shut it down" over and over will play well

Rep. Stewart liked his own "impeachapalooza" line of yesterday that he used it again

His tight five needs work

SIOUX CITY CROONERS

So the message is everybody that has testified is a Never Trumper or didn't hear firsthand or Trump said "i want nothing" so... innocent?

"Time to shut it down"it will play well to those who agree, because they have full faith in Trump's "final word" yesterday, hang on every word from Hannity's lips, and believe in the veracity of whatever FOX News tells them (with the notable exception of the traitor Ken Starr).

maybe I'm naive but I can't imagine Dems covering for a Dem prez like this, against all reason, logic, and facts. plus it's a Prez a lot of them have to think is a moronic asshole!

Those people would agree if they showed up to the hearings naked and took a crap on a pizza box.

They ain't the people it needs to play with

Dems do govern themselves better than Pubs but many of them would still shill for their guy

holy shit where does Karl Malone hang out?

also I can't watch today but is gym jordan wearing a yellow tie?

if a democratic president did a 1/100th of what trump has done, they'd be forced to resign within a month

well, yeah

xp

holy shit where does Karl Malone hang out?

generally on ilx tbh! i didn't get alfred's reference to someone who wants to wrestle me, though. i know that karl malone - mean, i, karl malone - wrestled with dennis rodman back in the day. but - FACT CHECK, LIVE - rodman did not and does not serve as a GOP congressman

if Obama had only given them these javelins Trump would not have had to bride anyone! Thanks Obama

They ain't the people it needs to play with

if republican pols have learned anything in the past decade, it is the need to protect their right flank from tea party primary challenges. they don't see any other voters in their gerrymandered districts as worth fearing or pandering to.

for party of Law and Order they sure do tolerate (or even encourage) a great deal of corruption & other "rule bending" from their ppl, while the freewheeling godless Dems don't to anywhere near the same degree

Holmes eyeroll at Jordan was good but I want someone to full Benny Mardones eyeroll at the fucker

GOP is more the party of words that don't actually mean anything afaict.

Fucking MAGA
How does it work

This guy dunking on Nunes.

Nunes will just say the backboard moved

So somebody got to Starr since yesterday afternoon? Now he's saying "nowhere close" to impeachable offenses, despite his certainty yesterday?

Dec thread title BTW : "you can tell the Kardashians you tried"

Hurd can afford to be generous: he ain't running for reelection.

xpost Apparently the Starr quote was taken out of context? It might have been Starr paraphrasing a hypothetical Schiff.
