Impeachment hearings completely predictable. Republicans have nothing so they are trying to pin this on "Well Hunter Biden was making 50k a month," which isn't illegal. If rich/powerful people's sons getting jobs because of their name is a crime, then probably almost all of our current politicians are guilty.

this idea that since the money was released nothing happened is a great talking point for Republicans, except for the thorny issue of how it was released after the investigation into all of this started, lmao

the one woman for republicans had fine questions, but everything else i heard was just people trying to talk fast and confuse the witness, or, mostly, not even asking questions but pontificating

The entire GOP defense is a fabricated story that's being developed ad hoc by tangential actors in conservative media. They are actually trying to argue that Ukraine was behind the Steele doc and other shit.

And now GOP reps are trying to support that notion or cast shade on a problem when it's f**k night time.

Nothing will come of this. Even if they formally impeach, it will die in the Senate. If it gets that far.
We've been saturated with all this outrageous shit for so long that it's just boring to even talk about it. None of it really matters, because there aren't consequences for anything any more, nor even acknowledgment of the reality of it. Orange Man Bad/eye roll/what the f**k ever.

/f**k everything

Republicans 2 days ago, repeatedly, in questioning the witnesses: "TRUMP gave stronger support to Ukraine than Obama ever did!!!!!! Since TRUMP we've had WAY BETTER POLICY towards Ukraine!!!!!!"
Trump, today, while a witness was testifying and trying to discredit her, the US ambassador to Ukraine: "everywhere Marie Yovanovich turned bad."

holy f**k

[Kane]

Yeah but the GOP doesn't want to admit the severity of the situation and this just looks like small fish.

He straight up solicited a foreign government to interfere in US elections in his favor but....the GOP says "who cares? He didn't get to do it."

And then they talk about conservative governance while if Trump goes on without proper institutions restraining him we'll actually get the power of the unitary executive.

No big deal.

Nothing will change.

The Ukraine border is thousands of miles away. Better focus on the one a few hundred miles away. The Dem's are a joke. Millions wasted on their butt hurt over 2016. 2020 will be a disaster for their circus they have had for 3 years so far. TRUMP 2020 .
