  1. Keep going. It's the only way any of us can go forward with a clean conscience. EVERYONE knows this fuck and a fuckton of his cohorts are guilty. Why they choose to shelter him remains to be seen. The only logical reason would be they're all dirty too. If we relent and cave to a weak enemy in a strong, but weakening position, then we truly have lost the republic.

    The defense is only up to a point.  If McConnell is sure he has the votes, he only has to let the house dem managers present their case for a few days, and then hold a 5 minute vote and go about their business.

    i can’t imagine any scenario where 1 gop senator breaks rank. After all something like 20 gop senators are needed to convict trump so one falling on their sword is pointless from their political point of view.

    but if the House GOP tells Pelosi that they will give her a some gop censure votes in exchange to drop impeachment, both sides can declare victory and move onto 2020. We need cooler heads to prevail and someone act like adults. 

    That sounds like capitulation to a traitor and his party. You forget the 6000 other crimes we're not talking about (yet). As more info comes to light and with the success of the American Oversight FOIA subpoena, i think it's wise to hold tight. Also, Mueller. If they capitulate now and refuse to bring forward articles, this president will see that as license to do whatever he wants for the next year - even more so than he does now.

    Nunes being an Ag guy makes him seem like a California/Iowa Rick Perry-sharp but not sharp enough to keep his tracks covered. At least Perry is somewhat personable when you meet him. Although I’ve never met Nunes, he strikes me as a jerk.

    Wonder if they can get a hashtag trending with Ron Johnson? He is in this deep, too, but not on this committee. (Foreign relations is one of the ones on which he serves) He wields a stick behind the scenes, his state is a swing state, and IIRC one of the OMB dudes in charge of the foreign aid to Ukraine worked with him in Wisconsin for the GOP. 

    This is seriously his profile pic on his site. He's the king of resting bitch face

    Before a few days ago, many people just thought Nunes was an idiot/asshole, and many politicians are just fine with being labeled as such.

    Now that Nunes' dirty laundry is being exposed, there's a whole lot of Republicans who are going to have some serious second thoughts, because they have their own dirty laundry that they sure as hell don't want exposed.  This is not how they want their careers ending.

    I know some of the pessimists here still scoff at the notion, but the stuff with Nunes coming out and being put on blast is a game changer.  For as much time as Republicans held the House and Senate, and currently the White House, somehow they were never able to find this kind of stuff with the Democrats in recen tyears.  While I'm sure plenty of the Dems are corrupt as fuck, for some reason they aren't nearly as incompetent and blatant in their corruption. 

    It's a game changer, because Republicans who are up next year are not merely going to be running on a platform of "Democrats suck and/or are socialists", but they are going to be running, knowing that if they go in front of the media or are in a debate, they could be asked about this stuff (either their own dirty laundry, or that of their party's). 

    We've already had plenty of Republicans bailing on re-election, I won't be surprised to see more tossing in the towel.  And I'm beginning to suspect that those who have bailed on running next year had a good idea in advance of the current stuff that is happening.

    I'd take that last sentence further and say they had dirt they didn't want dug up

    I think this is important, especially considering Nunes is the fucking RANKING MEMBER OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. 

    It'd be like trying OJ and finding out Judge Ito killed Nicole. 

    (It's early and i wake and baked, but that sounded like a good analogy in my head)
