No, just the opposite. He wants to give Giulliani air time for his insane ranting.

5031

While I’ve been expecting Rudy to be introduced to the underside of a bus soon, in this case I’m going to assume Graham is doing this at his master’s bidding because he wants a big show trial focusing on the Bidens.

Though it would be a wonderful twist if Graham still really hated Trump and is doing this in the hope that Rudy implicates everyone with his insane rambling.

5032

Hasn’t he already?

5033

Yes, but under oath this time.

5034

Graham has turned the corner. I don’t think there’s any hope that he’s going to suddenly come to his senses - it appears that his friendship with McCain was the thing keeping him relatively sane.

5035

Collins is so loose today. Acting as if he is MC tossing around jokes. He is enjoying this.

5036

His response just now to Nadler pointing out how the Muller investigation was a net profit was incomprehensible. What was he even going for. It turned out bad for the minority?

5037

The difference between Nadler’s and Collins’ retorts is stark. Collins bumbles over himself trying to score some sort of point, and Nadler keep reminding them of the evidence and shooting down their BS.

5038

Rep Chris Stewart openly threatening to impeach the next Dem President and the one after that.

5039

I think we can all rest assured that some number of Republicans will push Articles of Impeachment for the next Democratic President on day one as retaliation.

5040

It’s a hollow threat when that’s their plan anyway and has been for decades. They endlessly called for Obama’s impeachment. They held endless investigations desperately trying to find something, anything to impeach on.

5041

I’m amazed that you guys can watch this. As soon as any Republican comes on and starts spewing their facist bullshit I have to turn off. I can’t listen to that.

5042

I mean, if a Democrat commits high crimes and misdemeanors while in office, I’m all for impeachment! Something tells me these idiots won’t even build a case, though, they’ll just vote to impeach because.

5043

Finally an excuse for me to post this:

5044

I like the way the Republicans pretend that if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016, she wouldn’t have even been inaugurated before facing Articles of Impeachment from the Republican House.

5045

Their base don’t understand the concept, so probably. I mean I’m fairly sure they were already talking about impeaching Hillary before the election, though I couldn’t quote a source if I had to. Turns out pandering to fucking idiots makes you a fucking idiot as well, or at least appear as one so much that the difference becomes one of semantics.

5046

When the Schiff hearings were going on and all the witnesses were being presented, I was pretty glued to the screen (as much as one can be at work, anyway). In that time I ingested enough Devin Nunes/Jim Jordan language for a lifetime, I think. Which is to say, probably about 30 minutes total.

5047

Now Steve King. Wasn’t he drawn and quartered or something?

5048

Now Debbie Lesko. All the Republicans are either tendentious or cretinous.

5049

And few of them could define either of those words, too.
