I knew it was happening, and I knew we would find out about it eventually. I just never thought I would see this happen ever and for it all to be happening so fast is a testament to how stupid these criminals really are. And even though they were so stupid they still got away with it because the government is involved with it. Its crazy. I do wonder if it can get so bad that someone like Moscow Mitch would actually flip sides to save his own reputation.....but then they probably have so much dirt on him he cant. Who knows. Its crazy though. Also the way Trump was so focused on media perception and announcements and stuff like that is telling. These people know republicans are brainwashed for real. Like will do anything you tell them as long as you say what they want "You're right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media takes the bait. Their mindless base amplifies it. And just enough low-info moderate voters buy into it to. Considering how many crimes Hillary has supposedly committed, it’s amazing that she’s still walking free and somehow one Trump goon after another is landing in jail. This reality is completely lost on the nutjob gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump tried to start a war with Iran, probably to take attention away from impeachment, doesn't seem like it worked. I wonder what crazy scheme he is going to cook up next? It actually did work. Unless you're already aware of the level to which Trump and his ilk have dragged the country impeachment news has become background noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I would love to think all this Parnas stuff will make a difference, but I'm sure it wont. If everything the GOP senators already heard didnt do anything, this wont either. They will find a way to be crooked and complicit and let Trump escape. I'm gonna stay medium.

EmirOfShmo Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Where the **** is Pompeo in all this? No comments to support State Department employees, no comments to say he knew nothing about the plan to oust his Ukrainian Ambassador, no comments to refute the Parnas interview? Spineless asshole. Wait a few days & White House Occupant will be kicking him the curb. Yeah, go run for senator in Kansas. Tell them how much you'll look out for the people of Kansas - just like you looked out for your employees at the State Department. These really are the worst group of people imaginable...

Being a meek, subservient ass kisser to an overgrown manbaby is the defining characteristic of present day conservatives. Looks like Trump finally managed to get Ukraine to open investigations into Americans. Will he complain about Ukrainian sabotage of his campaign again?

NoCalMike Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 It becomes more astounding with each passing day, as more and more actual information comes out that makes it pretty clear what was going on, how the "Everyone is lying, but Trump, of course" brigade continues to have zero shame.

NoCalMike Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Of course she can't come out and say it wasn't true, because everyone knows that most or all of it is true and I am sure more documents will confirm in it the coming days, just like everything else has before.

Burgold Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 And does any of this move the needle for a single elected Republican? I'm sure Mitt and Romney find this disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh8686 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Once you realize that a portion of this country and the people in power don't give a flying **** about democracy, the constitution, checks and balances, and have no problem with an authoritarian system as long as they're protected and benefit by it, all this stuff makes a lot more sense. At the very least it keeps you from being surprised that they remain unmoved by any calls to duty or moral obligation. These people are a cancer.

This is the same country that justifies war and torture as long it’s not done to them, right? Or even as much as born out of the history of justified involuntary servitude with using Christian teachings. nah, not a cancer...remember, we call 3rd world countries bad....now everybody sing ”we are the world”.

Same America that sees the logic in having to defy #BlackLivesMatter with #AllLivesMatter but fails to see the irony in the same people falling silent when it comes to the lives, it turns out, they actually don't care much about.

I don't do the whole judging groups of people as a monolith thing. This isn't directed at you in particular and no disrespect intended, but people as a whole are going to have start thinking about dividing groups into sub-sections along a spectrum prior to commenting, so we can have nuanced conversations and proposed solutions.
