Well, Amash did, but he was ejected from the party for questioning dear leader.
Watching the Democrat’s press conference, Schiff is way better at communicating than Pelosi.
I really expected to see a photo of Hillary when I went to foxnews.com just now.

Now off to the Senate where the articles will be introduced and be dismissed within 30 minutes. There will be no trial.
One of the callers on the Independent line called to complain and warn how the democrats were going to face when “we take back the party”.
Can’t cure stupid.
Wait, “take back the [Democratic] party?” Hahahahaha. For whom?? Dixiecrats? They’re all Republicans now. It’s no mystery that the Southeast is now the beating heart of the GOP.
N.B. I’m not saying there aren’t progressive Southerners.
I made a mistake, he said “when we take back the House”, so this “Independent” considered himself a Republican.
Can we get James Spader to play Schiff in the movie?
Seriously doubt anything will come of it in the Senate, at least in terms of an actual trial, much less conviction. But at the very least it will highlight once again how horrible the GOP is. Whether that will make any difference at this point I have no idea.

Exactly, make them go on the record, saying this is ok. Make them sign Faust’s contract.
CNN has the second vote at 230-197 but it was actually 231-199 with one “present”? Or did 3 Democrats vote nay?
Correct, 3 democrats No’s 1 present for the 2nd vote.
Ah ok so the actual totals were 231-199 and 230-200, with 1 present and 4 vacant for each vote.
Clinton’s for reference:
Perjury: 228-206
Obstruction: 221-212

I fucking hate the construction of, “well, now that the Republicans have said it’s ok to solicit foreign interference in elections, they’ll have to let Democrats do it too”.
That is ascribing consistency to Republicans which they don’t have. Of course if a Democratic president does the exact same thing, they’ll impeach. Just like how only Democratic (or black) presidents aren’t allowed to nominate Supreme Court justices in their last year.
The whole “get the Republicans on the record” thing means nothing, because the Republicans have no shame, no morals, and no goal except self-enrichment.

Yeah no, you can’t break laws because the Republicans did.
It’s more about getting them on the record and hammering it into every campaign commercial forever.
It doesn’t matter if they have shame. They can still be shamed. Their lack of morality can be highlighted.
