It's about time. Poop or get off the pot.


Well if Gaetz kept popping into the stall while I was pinching one off. It probably would go back inside

But in all seriousness the GOP is acting like a bunch of more inept keystone cops

You might want to get some updated info bud. She has at least 47 confirmed kills...by her own hands even.

Fuck Me, I'd vote for Beatrix Kiddo, if given the chance....

(OK, that's not fair....Kiddo killed like, 50+ just in the weirdo dance club that one time)

Yep, AirPods.

Understanding what this image will mean when it is published, one hopes that this fine and honorable soldier has proper foresight and enough class to be listening to some goddamn Wagner in those Airpods

I'll just add this to this thread. If you watch Maddow tonight, she lays out various facts which make it abundantly clear that Trump has done the exact same thing with China as he did with Ukraine. Not just his statement on the White House lawn that day. There was a phone call he had with Xi where he discussed the Bidens. It's locked up on that server and they won't release it. Also, one of his advisers admitted that right after Trump made the public statement, he went to China and received materials on the Bidens from the Chinese. And his top China adviser refuses to answer the question of whether Trump has pressured the Chinese over the Bidens.

This never ends, does it?

Trump really pissed off a lot of enlisted with the betrayal of the Kurds. This going after Vindman thing feels like him throwing gasoline on a fire. Once again republicans find themselves slandering honorable enlisted who have passed the duty test, the same test they continue to flunk. Disgusting stuff.


Some SOF are wearing the banned YPG/YPJ badges openly as a FU to Trump. This pic is 9 days old, so long after the ban spurred by Turkish feels.

When will the next bombshell drop regarding what the military guys said about the transcript missing words drop?

Do YOU think Trump should be impeached?

If he is impeached do YOU think he should be removed from office?
If Trump IS impeached, the Dems would get destroyed by the Senate. Their secret evidence and investigations will get exposed for the shams that they are. The Democrats are never going to hold a vote for an actual impeachment resolution because the facts would get exposed. They want to circumvent the Constitution and substitute an "impeachment inquiry" for an actual impeachment. This can be used against Trump in efforts to delegitimize him and have another excuse to do nothing for another 4 years except to "resist". The next wave of Progresshevik political platforms will change from "impeach the MFer to impeachment inquiry the MFer."

Too bad he won't let anyone see or hear the evidence.

Evidence ... of what?

Impeachment, here and now, is predicated on Trump's blackmailing a foreign leader for the personal benefit of attacking his political opponent in the 2020 election. The transcript Trump released already proves the substance of these claims. The witnesses also confirm and corroborate it. The fact that Trump committed these criminal act(s) is a closed and shut case. Proven beyond all doubt.

Let's get to the point, do you endorse Trump's criminal activity, or will you stand for the rule of law and the American Constitution and help demand we impeach Trump?

Enough with the silly argument of political opponent and Biden was the VP. So potential shady actions by an elected official is now off limits for investigations? Work had begun to restart any potential investigations into Burisa and the Bidens before Joe announced his run. Nothing has been proven beyond a doubt.

There will be an impeachment vote. Democratic voters will not put up with the sort of hypocrisy that seems to be normal of the GOP these days. I, and I think most other Democrat voters, would vote out our representative if they pulled that sort of shit.
Here is my promise to you, if they choose not to have a floor vote on impeachment I will not vote for the Democrat's candidate in the next election.

One guy isn't holding secret meetings with people before they decide to be "whistleblowers" and claiming to have tons of evidence but you can't see it.

The inquiries are meant to build the case before the actual impeachment process starts (assuming Dems believe there's enough to go forward). You don't tell a suspect in a criminal investigation who's snitching on him and what they're saying, especially before you've filed charges.

Also, given that Trump actually called for other countries to investigate the Bidens in an on-camera discussion, trying to question the legitimacy of the whistleblowers is a fool's errand.

Serious question, why do I get the impression that no matter what way this was being handled, you'd find something wrong with it and blame Democrats?

You do know that there's republicans attending these 'secret meetings' right? That this isn't the D's plotting to oust the totally normal and cool R president? That this is actually very normal, part of proceedings which have decades of precedent? You do know this right?

Evidence that Schiff himself met with the whistleblower? Evidence that Republican lawmakers on appropriate committees don't have access to all of the evidence that Schiff claims? Evidence that Schiff claims to have evidence other than what is available to every member of Congress in his committee? Evidence that any of the collected evidence by the committees operating in the impeachment inquiry is not intended for complete disclosure to all members of the House as part of the impeachment plan being voted on tomorrow? Evidence that anything that is not classified/deemed pertinent to national security won't be disclosed to the public as part of the plan?

Your desperation is showing. GOP lawmakers sit on every committee & are privy to the whole process. All will be revealed rather shortly, I'm sure, when public hearings are held & a writ of impeachment goes to the Senate.
