Ahahahhahahaaa you can’t even make this stuff up:

Nunes: “The Democrats [on the Intel Committee] are like a cult, blindly following their dear leader from one outlandish conspiracy theory to another...and the media are the cult followers!”

I can’t even count how many Trumpisms he’s projecting onto Dems.

Accuse your opposition with that of which you are guilty.


I have a window open to the hearings on pause and fast forward every now and then. I'm not sure how long it will take to get to a vote but I hope it's soon so the anticonstitutionalist Trumpette's head explodes.

Thank goodness there are rules which prevent digression into Hillary or at least prevent diversionary subpoenas.
 
“From the moment Trump was elected Democrats have been frothing at the mouth to impeach him. They have searched and searched for some tail to pin on him.” Hehe, endless Republican rationalizations

What's interesting about these arguments is that none of them address the actual substance of the allegations here. Now of course we know why that is, because the substance is damning, but it's still interesting. Even if the Democrats had devoted 100% of their energies to finding something to impeach Trump on that doesn't change the fact that, well, they found one.

It's also depressing because this line of defense indicates that Republicans know what Trump did is indefensible on the facts but instead of helping to remove him from office they've decided to defend him anyway because he's on the team.

Yea, I thought I forgot to get Halloween candy. Going out to get a bag of the mini sized bars that I like, today cause no one ever comes.
 
Welp, every single Republican voted against even having an inquiry into whether or not Trump should be impeached despite the fact that he's on record requesting that foreign governments launch investigations into his domestic political opponents.

I hope every conservative minded person on here remembers that next time they are in the voting booth. If it's an incumbent the person you're voting for thinks the president should be able to weaponize the country's foreign policy against whoever might run against him. Is that the side you want to be on?

They're effectively just "attack the messenger, not the message" arguments (ad hominem). It works against those that already have disdain for said messenger.

That not a single Republican had the spine to vote their conscience despite Trump’s wrath...was entirely unsurprising!!

I guess it’s officially official now...the Republican Party is dead. Trumpism then. Trumpism now. Trumpism forever!
 
And also remember this was the vote to open exactly the public inquiry republicans say they want.

I’m shocked too but apparently those arguments were not made in good faith.

How dare you use the rules we put in place while in the majority!

How dare you change the rules to make the inquiry public as we demanded!

How dare you imply that the president did the thing that you say even though he admitted it!

Democrats are communist socialist nazis bent on destroying our great president Trump (bringer of economic bliss) and thus the nation.

...


I think that's the GOP path so far.

I too was a little confused by this. One of the R's was up there railing on the fact that there's been meetings behind closed doors, and therefore that's why he's voting to keep this behind closed doors. Wat.

Mitch McConnell had a meeting to discuss how to get rid of Obama BEFORE he took office.

Somehow Barack managed to get through 8 years without any of his people being indicted or thrown in prison
