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

Impeachment scheduling alert: Senate Intel Chairman Richard Burr says trial will last for "6 to 8 weeks." It will run for 6 days a week, from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m., a big chunk of time for senators also running for president hoping to be in IA, NH or anywhere but DC in Dec/Jan/Feb.

V predictable

Who needs Disney+?

HAIL SATAN

I m doronk

Me fore persidetn

Beto picked the wrong time to drop out.

aren't IA and NH voters already armed with sufficient information to vote

really hate Nikki Haley

i really hate her now, that's for sure.

same

Nikki Haley and that eyepatch motherfucker and like Tom Cotton are going to be running the show within 8 years fml

Cotton has the charisma of tapioca, I’m not worried about him. Eyepatch seems especially fucking stupid but that’s hardly been an impediment to the party lately.

I hope Cotton dies on the fuckin toilet and someone photographs it

agree that Tom Cotton seems so uncharismatic it's hard to see him as much of a threat

Good morning!

Well before Representative Peter King announced that he would retire next year, enough evidence existed that his prospects for re-election on Long Island as a Republican were narrowing.

Like so many suburban areas around the country, Long Island is undergoing a profound political shift, a transformation evident in the voter rolls, in the county seats, in recent election tallies and in census data.

Democrats now outnumber Republicans on Long Island, a once unthinkable development in a traditional conservative stronghold where voters backed every Republican presidential candidate, bar two, from 1900 to 1988.

Last year’s midterm elections saw Democrats capture six of the island’s nine State Senate seats, helping the party gain control of that legislative body for only the third time in the last 50 years.

sub in that yale kid who beat McCaskill for Cotton

Is it too early to take a shot of everclear every time Nunes said "Steele dossier"?

I really hate Devin Nunes

this is gonna be hours and hours of the GOP attacking Dems & whining about partisanship and never once addressing the actual allegations

not to mention the fact that Trump and his administration admitted to everything the whistleblower said lmao

This is already fascinating. The GOP is going to ask exclusively conspiracy theory-based questions, and the Dems will draw on facts.

I feel like you could not understand a single word Nunes said unless you've watched 1000 hours of Fox News

Nothing mutes a signal like some noise, eh.

xp similarly I’m afraid Fox viewers have no idea what Schiff and these witnesses are talking abt

These people are truly sick.

tbf there is literally zero defense for this, there already has been a ton of damning testimony & admissions from Trump's own people, they can't even pull the "but what if a DIFFERENT guy raped you" defense

I mean

I've seen some people point out that U.S. diplomats have shifted to the Ukrainian pronunciation; the Ukrainian spelling (which is gradually becoming more accepted in the West) is Kyiv.

suspect you're gonna hear the word "damning" a lot today, Taylor basically laid out an hour by hour recap of all the crimes Trump committed

hope william taylor is an expert on how the hacking of the DNC was actually done by ukraine, not russia, and was masterminded by the democrats, before the election, in order to make trump look bad later, because they knew he would win...hunter biden was involved

because he's about to get 45 minutes straight of questions about it

triple hearsay, you say

My suspicion that if anything about this goes viral it isn't going to be from the Dems' side of questioning, it's going to be one of the witnesses slapping down Nunes a la "have you at long last no sense of decency sir"

While they have him under oath, they should also ask about the loch ness monster and the lunar landing, just to get that stuff cleared up.

Lol i just got the waterboys joke some deep big music synapses

In the transcripts, a lot of witnesses reacted to GOP conspiracy batshitery with head scratching, iirc.

The Dem's interlocutor apparently has a lot of experience prosecuting organized crime.

My suspicion that if anything about this goes viral it isn't going to be from the Dems' side of questioning, it's going to be one of the witnesses slapping down Nunes a la "have you at long last no sense of decency sir"

was just thinking about that this morning, daydreaming about a scenario where some respected republican, soon to be disrespected says something like "i don't have to ask about your sense of decency...it is evident that you have none" and air horns start going off

Taylor has also implicated Pence in this

yup their style is to accuse you of what they’ve done, while claiming the injuries you’ve plainly got from them.

Nice aside from Goldman -- "I want to spend some time reading the transcript -- as we've been encouraged to do."

Nunes, in his opening statement, said that the closed door hearings took place in a "cult-like atmosphere"

jfc

Well he's not wrong. All of US federal politics is taking place in a cult-like atmosphere now.

lol The White House official reaction to impeachment mimics that of Fucker Carlson: that it's "boring." Seems like a solid defense.

One wonders if this new talking point is intended to dissuade viewers from paying attention to what's being said. pic.twitter.com/ntEit9mXXZ
