There are no ~~moderate~~ rational Republicans:

Hurd: We have not heard evidence beyond a reasonable doubt of bribery or extortion. Today a dangerous precedent has been set, impeachment becoming a weaponized tool. [Not commenting on abuse of power?] Pathetic.

Such a vicious assault on the Republican party. If the Do Nothing Democrats have their way, another Republican will become President!

Four exclamation marks. All caps.

Ladies and gentlemen, the POTUS.

But the Democrats are doing something, they are impeaching you Mr Trump.

I like how Nadler handled himself today, though I’m glad to see things shifting to Schiff.

How many exclamation points does it take to trigger an embolism? Curious minds want to know!

Jesus was crucified to save an undeserving humanity from sin; Trump was elected to save people who own Truck Nutz from feeling bad about using the n-word in public. twitter.com/reploudermilk/…

“...When Jesus was falsely accused of Treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. During that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus, than Democrats have afforded this president in this process.” #ShamImpeachment https://t.co/n8FZRe64eo

Well, yet another Republican comparing this to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ wasn’t creepy at all

Garrison probably has a few pictures he’s been saving.

Penny_Dreadful · 2019-12-18T21:35:31.943Z

Can crucifixion be a legitimate punishment for treason?

Just wondering…

ShivaX · 2019-12-18T21:36:08.394Z

That would definitely fall under “cruel and unusual”.

Thrag · 2019-12-18T21:41:20.283Z

Good on Schiff for pushing back on the “secret hearings” crap.

Kevin Brady compares Democrats to Joe McCarthy and says Trump haters of today will be viewed like "Red haters of the past."

I’ve been watching this today, and it really cannot be overstated how dumb the GOP is at this point.

Their arguments are objectively nonsensical.

Hey, they can see that there’s a segment of their support that believes in QAnon and Pizzagate. Being crazy won’t hurt them with the crazies.
