[scottagibson]

LOL!

Also lol that they continue to pretend that Bolton’s drug deal phrase was a false accusation of an actual drug deal.

This inquiry has given Democrats so much ammunition for 2020 though, you can’t help but chalk it up as a win for them, even though we all know the Senate will never vote to impeach Trump. Whomever ends up with the 2020 Democratic nomination needs to campaign hard on this stuff, so hard it makes “But Her Emails” look tame by comparison.

The Dem positioning for this needs to be: if Trump got away with this (because we know he won’t be convicted in the Senate), imagine what he’s going to do if he gets another term and doesn’t have to worry about re-election. Not only is it imperative that we put a Dem in the White House, but we need all the Democratic Senators we can get.

Lol - Sondland names every person involved in the “irregular channel” again, and thus, it wasn’t an irregular channel since everyone was included and in the loop.

Castor doesn’t know how to respond. Lots of “ums and ers”. Yet Castor defaults to drawing out more detailed info.

I like how he wrote I WANT NOTHING twice.

Sondland exclaims: why didn’t anyone come talk to me about their concerns?!

Everyone in the world: because they assumed you were part of a criminal conspiracy to bribe the Ukrainian President and not just some rube going along with whatever the last person you talked to told you to do.

This guy is an idiot.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if Rudy has hired a smart lawyer yet who’ll realize this, and I don’t think Rudy is bright enough himself to realize.

Rudy was born to be thrown under the bus.

Nunes right before the intermission

Rudy was born to be thrown under the bus.

If what ultimately comes of this is Rudy in prison and a Democrat in the White House, I will consider it a success.

Yeah, we’re getting to the point that this is going to be something that alters the trajectory of political careers, if we’re not already long since there.

Haha Schiff says it: nobody thinks we’re talking about a literal drug deal.

[Rightbug]

Which of course means that by the time the week is out we’re going to discover that there was an actual literal drug deal as well.

I don’t know if there was an actual drug deal or not. But people are talking about it. Lots of people. Why is no one investigating whether the President was involved in a drug deal?

edit: /s because these days god only knows which things to take straight.

Don’t forget the human trafficking.

It’s like conservative values and policies seem to attract the worst people…
