    The dem house needs to do its job and stop being pussies. If they don’t, they’ve abdicated their authority and the American people deserve what they get. Call CYA Barr, Rosenstein, Team Mueller to testify and begin hearings. Fuck them because if you (the general you) don’t, you fuck yourselves. Sucks don’t it?

    So he gets impeached, what does that accomplish? The Senate will never remove him from office. 

    Aren't they better served focusing on beating him in 2020?

    They are better served by going after Barr so Orange Sunshine's devout following doesn't riot in the streets, and all his misdeeds would still be exposed.
    It puts the repubs on record for having to defend Team Trump Treason. Lyndsey Graham on the senate floor explaining how those 10 avenues of obstruction doesn’t add up to obstruction of justice. Also, Team Mueller didn’t find or couldn’t prove conspiracy, which is it? And 14 other continuing investigations spawned by Team Mueller. Defend that repubs.

    To not hold impeachment hearings and a floor vote because the senate won’t convict and remove is line an NFC team deciding not to play the 4th quarter against TB12 and the patriots because they’re going to lose. I’d rather go down fighting and being on the right side of history rather than walking away into the locker room with time on the clock.
    they've all been on record the last two years defending him. if that's the rationale, it won't make a lick of difference in the court of public opinion. in 30 years no one will even remember mitch mcconnell's name except political historians, so what does 'having them on record' really do? partisanship is at an all time high in the US, so that will not sway any votes. not now, and not in subsequent elections. 
    None of them are on the floor of the senate defending Team Trump Treason’s raping of the constitution. Before the press? Sure. The floor of the senate is different. And what comes out during televised congressional hearings and live feeds of senate speeches matters to people. Not the Team Trump Treason voter or quitters but people who still care. They’re worth fighting for and they’re the ones who’ll make the difference. I’m not willing to cede that to Team Trump Treason. Plus, impeachment is something that never happened to the black guy and I expect that Team Trump Treason would nuke Nancy’s district as a result.

    Why so negative?
    not negative. just realistic. I'm not against impeachment, I'm for it. I just think that doing it for "putting the repubs on record" is kind of a weak reason. mainly because I don't think it will matter to the electorate. All anyone will remember is if he gets impeached or not, not how people voted. people forgive voting down party lines. it's what's normal now. 

    I think you have to impeach because it's the right thing to do, not out of some revenge tactic. But either way, seems we agree. 
    Swing voters decide every election. So the political question to impeachment is whether dems will pick up swing voters as a result of it. And right now it’s probably too early to tell. 
    yes, they do. I'd like to know if there's been any studies on how much political news the typical swing voter ingests in a fed election cycle. more than your partisan, or less?

    It’s not about a “revenge tactic,” or sour grapes about losing an election. It’s about the rule of law and holding Team Trump Treason accountable to it as a co equal branch of government. Seems the Team Trump Treason Administration’s tactics of refusing subpoenas is convincing more dems to impeach. Growing a spine can take time.

    Really non-voters decide every election. The real test is seeing if all those Dems/liberals actually get their apathetic asses to the polling stations to make sure Trump doesn't win again.

    Mueller Told A.G. Barr That His Remarks Failed To Capture 'Context, Nature and Substance Of Probe' in a letter sent to Barr in March, according to WaPo


    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/mueller-complained-that-barrs-letter-did-not-capture-context-of-trump-probe/2019/04/30/d3c8fdb6-6b7b-11e9-a66d-a82d3f3d96d5_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.90e66999a965

    Not sure which post to put this in so I'm putting in the 3 appropriate ones. 

    Can't wait to see Mueller and Barr testify. 

    EDIT TO ADD: NYT has an article that details Mueller's extreme displeasure with the tactics Barr was taking. He wanted his letter to Barr included in the release. 

    Committee wants Mueller next week.

    :rofl: That was good. 

    10AM - Barr testifies Senate Committee. Supposed to testify for House Committee this week. And Mueller has been moved up to next week.
    Mueller just couldn't hold back anymore & we now know how pissed he is at Barr's characterization about his report. And he continued to lie after a letter & phone call from Mueller. 

    He lied to the Senate Committee when he testified about his report on the Mueller probe. Crist and Van Hollen - straight up lied. I wonder if there will be any reading of the report to Barr this week? I'd like for him to be read his rights, TBH.

Its written in an easily understandable language. I assumed it would be a very dry document. Holy fuckballs, it aint dry.
    report released on the 18th. audiobook released on the 20th. 19 hrs long......

    I wasn't aware that they were in the Report. 

    At least Barr is under oath. I want to hear why he lied. I am sure he is prepared to filibuster. He is already speaking in tongues. Gonna be one of those annoying hearings. Lyndsey is a lawyer, he should be ashamed of himself. McCain would smack him upside the head.

     I'm listening to "The Mueller Report" on Scribd. Check it out: https://www.scribd.com/audiobook/402026493

    Is it Hillary doing the reading?
    :rofl: That was good. 

    10AM - Barr testifies Senate Committee. Supposed to testify for House Committee this week. And Mueller has been moved up to next week.
    Mueller just couldn't hold back anymore & we now know how pissed he is at Barr's characterization about his report. And he continued to lie after a letter & phone call from Mueller. 

    He lied to the Senate Committee when he testified about his report on the Mueller probe. Crist and Van Hollen - straight up lied. I wonder if there will be any reading of the report to Barr this week? I'd like for him to be read his rights, TBH.
     

    lyndsey, introducing the hearing. bringing strock and page into it and commenting  on clinton investigation into the server.
    I wasn't aware that they were in the Report. 

    At least Barr is under oath. I want to hear why he lied. I am sure he is prepared to filibuster. He is already speaking in tongues. Gonna be one of those annoying hearings. Lyndsey is a lawyer, he should be ashamed of himself. McCain would smack him upside the head.
    they arent. girlie man is using his time to puff her chest out.
    I was being facetious. :wink:

    Now would be a great time to roll that tape of Lyndsey saying there doesn't need to be an underlying crime to charge obstruction.

    They ought to remove the "Hon" before CYA Barr's name on his name plate. Dianne is gettign after it and Barr couldn't answer a yes/no question as it relates to obstruction.

    He's starting to stutter quite a bit. 

    Patrick Leahy, I love him and he has my grandpa's name, go get 'em. Make him stutter, or better yet, lie under oath. :prayer:

    The dem house needs to do its job and stop being pussies. If they don’t, they’ve abdicated their authority and the American people deserve what they get. Call CYA Barr, Rosenstein, Team Mueller to testify and begin hearings. Fuck them because if you (the general you) don’t, you fuck yourselves. Sucks don’t it?

    So he gets impeached, what does that accomplish? The Senate will never remove him from office. 

    Aren't they better served focusing on beating him in 2020?

    They are better served by going after Barr so Orange Sunshine's devout following doesn't riot in the streets, and all his misdeeds would still be exposed.
    It puts the repubs on record for having to defend Team Trump Treason. Lyndsey Graham on the senate floor explaining how those 10 avenues of obstruction doesn’t add up to obstruction of justice. Also, Team Mueller didn’t find or couldn’t prove conspiracy, which is it? And 14 other continuing investigations spawned by Team Mueller. Defend that repubs.

    To not hold impeachment hearings and a floor vote because the senate won’t convict and remove is line an NFC team deciding not to play the 4th quarter against TB12 and the patriots because they’re going to lose. I’d rather go down fighting and being on the right side of history rather than walking away into the locker room with time on the clock.
    they've all been on record the last two years defending him. if that's the rationale, it won't make a lick of difference in the court of public opinion. in 30 years no one will even remember mitch mcconnell's name except political historians, so what does 'having them on record' really do? partisanship is at an all time high in the US, so that will not sway any votes. not now, and not in subsequent elections. 
    None of them are on the floor of the senate defending Team Trump Treason’s raping of the constitution. Before the press? Sure. The floor of the senate is different. And what comes out during televised congressional hearings and live feeds of senate speeches matters to people. Not the Team Trump Treason voter or quitters but people who still care. They’re worth fighting for and they’re the ones who’ll make the difference. I’m not willing to cede that to Team Trump Treason. Plus, impeachment is something that never happened to the black guy and I expect that Team Trump Treason would nuke Nancy’s district as a result.

    Why so negative?
    not negative. just realistic. I'm not against impeachment, I'm for it. I just think that doing it for "putting the repubs on record" is kind of a weak reason. mainly because I don't think it will matter to the electorate. All anyone will remember is if he gets impeached or not, not how people voted. people forgive voting down party lines. it's what's normal now. 

    I think you have to impeach because it's the right thing to do, not out of some revenge tactic. But either way, seems we agree. 
    Swing voters decide every election. So the political question to impeachment is whether dems will pick up swing voters as a result of it. And right now it’s probably too early to tell. 
    Really non-voters decide every election. The real test is seeing if all those Dems/liberals actually get their apathetic asses to the polling stations to make sure Trump doesn't win again.
    Also true. If we had 90%+ turnout there would be few republicans in office anywhere.

    yes, they do. I'd like to know if there's been any studies on how much political news the typical swing voter ingests in a fed election cycle. more than your partisan, or less?
    Good question. It comes across as though they’ll respond to widespread stories, but only the superficial aspects. You see this in the week or two up to elections with October surprises. Willie Horton, swift boating, Comey letter, etc. It seems like if the candidate can resolve the swing voter uncertainty with a feeling of confidence, that helps. I this happened for Obama in 08 as the economy tanked in October. He picked up points on McCain because, I think, he projected confidence in being able to handle the sh*tshow. McCain came across as a bit lost.
