    I know next to nothing about the movie-making process.  That being said, wouldn't it be a tad late in the game to be doing screenings, reshoots, etc...?  The movie comes out in a little over a month.

    They've already pulled it off. The next few months are purely an exercise in futility. If there was any chance of anything but a purely party line vote in the Senate, Republicans like Graham wouldn't be acting so flippant and brash. This whole thing is purely an optics battle for about 8% of the country's hearts and minds.

    Graham and Trump do not act like confident men, who have a comfortable margin of victory.   They are angry, scared, and clearly trying to keep Rs in line.  

    If they were confident, like I said earlier, Trump would have ordered everybody around him to go testify. 

    Graham and Trump aren’t targeting Democrats when they rant, because Democrats don’t give a shit about what they have to say.  They are 100% targeting other Rs.

    This shit show cannot go on for months.  No one can take this beating.  I think the only hope is that people see what obvious hacks and dumbasses the Rs are and will vote against them purely for being idiots.

    i mean, the republicans cannot believe what they are claiming, or they are mentally deficient. they are not at all interested in the truth. this is not surprising in and of itself, i suppose - there are always going to be some zero sum partisan tomfoolery. but we have fewer john mccains and more jim jordans, and it's making the republicans completely cynical. jim jordan knows that trump fucked up. he's probably so angry because the cards he's been dealt are so fucking laughably terrible that he is forced into theater of the absurd.

    of course, he could actually have some fucking principles and call out our president for blatant corruption. but the republicans are not wired that way. even the arguments and lies they are peddling are beyond absurd.

    it's fucking maddening that they are arguing 2 + 2 = - 3. no sham, no sham, they are the sham

    On the one hand, people can be that fucking stupid.  

    On the other hand, the people claiming the GOP is thoroughly compromised have a compelling argument when you look at the Republican statements and questions today, because there’s only so much dumbassery to go around.  

    Jordan, Nunes, Radcliffe, etc. are scared. Very scared.  Something is up.

    I haven’t been able to watch much of this, but Kent and Taylor both seemed very credible when I was watching.  As expected, the GOP Congressmen were absurd.   The Democratic Congressmen were generally good on their questions, except I saw a bit from Castro and Swalwell who were ineffective and douchey.

    Even though they are Trump admin appointees, I’m all for Taylor/Kent 2020

    Fuck. NPR just screwed up the punch line from Welch. What did he say?

    Paraphrasing, Gym Jordan was ranting about the whistleblower was the one who started all of this and he wouldn't be in here to testify, and then Welch follows up with "the person who started it all, Trump, is welcome to come in here and testify!"

    Gonna need a link if you have one, I had to do some actual work.

    He nailed Gym Jordan and the Republicans, and then (I'm pretty sure it was him) said something like Trump adminsitration was "not trying to end the Ukraine corruption, but was trying to aim Ukraine corruption."
