Delicious. Like the nurses would put that on a monitor directly in front of him.

“He really enjoyed Twitter. It will calm him.”

At the risk of going full robocop,

Trump, you’re fired.

We have a sample size of ~~four~~ five (cases where formal impeachment investigations commenced) in the last 160 years.

Just had to correct this.

One hopeful note — No one is loyal to Trump. If he outlives his usefulness to Senate Republicans they will throw him to the wolves.

Trump and Pence go down. President McConnell. ::shudder::

awdougherty · 2019-09-24T22:20:32.575Z

Isn’t Pelosi next?

JMR · 2019-09-24T22:21:29.836Z

Pelosi would be in after Pence. However, if the Cylons attack then Betsy DeVos would become President.

U.S. Presidential line of succession

The United States Presidential line of succession is the order in which government officials replace the United States President if the president leaves office before an elected successor is inaugurated. If the President dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the Vice President becomes President for the rest of the term. If the Vice President is unable to serve, the next person in the line of succession acts as President. The United States Constitution says that the Vice President of the Unit...

The fact that McConnell flipped on this suggests that he either thinks this will be nothing, or he thinks that it’s so bad that the only way for him, personally, to survive is to cut bait and leave Trump to die.

Yep. My bad.

abidingdude · 2019-09-24T22:29:52.965Z

MSNBC now saying it’s up to 186.

Skipper:

175 of 235 Democrats in congress so far for impeachment inquiry that MSNBC has confirmed. That’s also of 218 NEEDED for the inquiry. Pelosi speaks within the hour.

So far, the vibe I’m getting from CNN coverage is that…the Dems are in disarray.

Edit: That’s CNN International, but it was Jake Tapper’s show plus others.

At the risk of going all 1970s, we need the tapes.

Do Presidents still record their phone calls?

That might not matter. Wouldn’t the agency the whistleblower works for record any calls he/she was on as well?

Scrax · 2019-09-24T22:33:46.328Z

Surveillance agencies do.

baddog007 · 2019-09-24T22:38:10.707Z

Obama NSC member says no, but that multiple persons are on the call & that the situation room connects & then takes dictation of it, that is then passed around for any addition or correction to those folks.

Not intentionally. Staff listen in and take notes, which are supposed to be complete and accurate, but we’re talking about Trump so…

Wow, @HeidiNBC reporting that Trump called Pelosi today and asked “if they could work something out on this whole whistleblower thing.”

Media outlets are reporting that Bolton and Trump clashed over halting the funds to Ukraine. I’m hoping we’ll get a chance to see Bolton get called to testify and, Wormtongue-like, stick Sharkey in the back.
