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.

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.

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
― frogbs, Wednesday, 13 November 2019 15:32 (four years ago) link
This is already fascinating. The GOP is going to ask exclusively conspiracy theory-based questions, and the Dems will draw on facts.

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'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

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

oh, definitely. i mean, that's going to apply to everyone, not just blowhard rightwingers. no one in the United States - not a single person - read the mueller report. no one (zero. zero people) bothered to read the executive summary, less than a dozen pages in total. even the authors of the report got too bored and tired after a couple pages, so there was a series of resignations among the report writers. that's why it took so long - the turnover, and then the archival research that the final report writer had to undertake to try to figure out what the original writers were trying to convey before they got too bored
there's no fucking way that 99.999999999% of americans are going to follow this. we will have to hope that late night hosts and podcast hosts can relay the most important points to everyone in a headline friendly, 10-words or less format

Nunes doesn't understand how cybersecurity works, how elections are run, how the government works, or really anything. I'm surprised this guy can wipe his own ass. He's rivaled only by Jordan and Trump in the idiocy race.
