Wow. And I thought I was an optimist.
Graham is very nearly as incompetent as DJT. A disgrace to his office.

Nah, he is doing it on purpose. Part of the lies being spun is that these various people who are testifying aren’t actually important. So pretending to not know their names are part of the con.
Ooh, I need to start using this term instead of gun nuts. It’s so much more appropriate.

I … actually feel for Lindsay on this one, because I’ve done it myself. Seriously, what kind of name is Sondland?!
(Old English, it says here.)
They’re reporting on MSNBC that Rand Paul today blocked a Senate resolution that whistleblowers should be protected. Looks like he’s totally in the tank now.
These all-in Trump defenders remind me of Petrucchio arguing with Kate that the sky isn’t blue etc.

And the impeachment is a witch hunt designed to further the Demonrats authoritarian globalist agenda. Just sayin’

Ha ha. But the funny thing is, there are many in Alabama who would welcome secession of the libtards on the coasts. It would make it a lot easier to get their agenda through at home.
So if you really think that impeachment is a witch hunt, then you probably agree that Oregon and Illinois ought to leave the USA. See, you and the MAGA crew do have something in common.

I like it! Is has less of an edge than the usual Orwellian comparisons, but it works for me.

It’s already happening though. Look at the growth in places like Atlanta, Asheville, Jacksonville, etc. Tech companies are increasingly looking to the Southern states as it’s become too expensive out West. Transportation and logistics companies love the South, with it’s highways that lead everywhere. North Carolina and South Carolina are rapidly becoming the new hot spots for Northern retirees and snowbirds as Florida becomes too overcrowded and expensive. All of these things bring people from Northern states into the South, and while the effect may only be felt in urban areas like Atlanta right now, it’s going to spread as the economic impact increases.
Haha! Yeah, I know, it seems impossible given what we are seeing right now. But I say this as someone born in the South (Mississippi) and well aware of the pervasive culture there, I still think it can be changed. It’s not going to happen overnight, but it’s possible. As @Carto mentioned, there are A LOT of activists in southern states who are working very hard at trying to break the stranglehold the old guard (white) GOP has had on those states for forever. As more people become registered to vote, as the population ages and some of the worst offenders die off, as the influence of urban areas begins to slowly creep outward through expansion and economic prosperity, and as the demographics of those states shift we will see change. I’m not ready to write off the entire South just yet.

Yep, Don Jr. tweeted out the name of the whistleblower yesterday, clearly as a vindictive act. Send in the U. S. Marshalls, arrest him.
Here’s the thing - it’s not actually illegal to name the whistleblower (though it is illegal to for government officials to retaliate against them.)
[A]s with so many of our supposed laws, compliance depends largely on a sense of integrity and voluntary compliance," McLaughlin said. “You just have to expect people to obey the law and the established practices, which of course in this administration has not always been the case.”
Andrew Napolitano essentially calls for the impeachment of Trump - on the Fox web site.
Trump should have known that the act of soliciting assistance for his campaign from a foreign government, whether directly by him or indirectly by Giuliani, is defined as criminal under federal law – a high crime, as the Constitution puts it.
He also should have known that refusing to perform a lawful duty, releasing the $391 million Congress had authorized until a personal favor comes his way, is also defined in federal law as criminal – bribery, as the Constitution puts it.
Ehm, is it just my limited knowledge of English grammar or do these quotes contain two errors (necessary/reassurance)? If so, not the best way to make a statement…
