I believe this is the last scheduled hearing on this impeachment process?
So this is my first time actually watching the stream over clips...what are with those signs behind where the committee sits?
I don't think normal Americans spend their time watching and calling into CSPAN honestly.The Cspan callers are a scary insight into the normal everyday american. Its sad.

If I am thinking of the same thing you are, they are signs that the committee members choose to put on display. That is why you will see stupid stuff like Trump tweets claiming he is innocent behind republican committee members.So this is my first time actually watching the stream over clips...what are with those signs behind where the committee sits?
Anytime somebody makes the argument that "the economy is doing great!" you need to ask them to explain why they think that. Is it because some wall street analyst said stocks are up? How does that impact their life? I bet you dollars to donuts that most of them will stumble over trying to back up that claim.Yeah, it's actually quite hilarious.
That said, these C-Span callers represent your average American and this is how they think and believe. I told the story in Poli-Era of a conversation I just had the other day in a restaurant with a supposed Democrat who sad there was no quid pro quo, you can't impeach the President, and the President has done a great job with the economy. This was coming from a registered Democrat and immigrant. We all just nodded our heads and got the hell out.

This is more the fringe type folk

We should have a contest, first person from era to call into cspan wins $1
He's already resigning to make a Senate run, just not sure of exact timetable.Yeah, I don't see how Pompeo can remain in his position. People of the State Department (who aren't right wing hacks like he is) probably despise him. He disgraces them. If he stays he's doing so out of spite and arrogance.

I keep seeing people say "the economy is doing so great!" but 99% of the time they are just repeating that because they heard it said somewhere. There's never any discussion of how wages are stagnant, healthcare is not affordable, and younger generations are especially struggling. This stuff is so easy to point out that it blows my mind when I see people I find to be intelligent, understanding, and teachable stating how great the economy is.
I was trying and kept getting a busy signal. Meanwhile I'm listening to the inane comments they do take.
If you do get on, say you're a Republican and bitch about the republicans.
Who's covering it? I know Newshour is generally considered good but they also keep a warm chair for David Brooks, so...As someone else mentioned PBS Newshour has a very objective and factual discussions between breaks and at the end of hearing. Also no one is talking over one another or yelling at another.
dont slander the greatest city in america if not the world like thisParks & Rec's Pawnee was not an exaggeration of small town America.
we gotta get guilianni, pompeo and others on the stand. I think dems have enough to file articles, but for the final blow, id love to see others come and testify as well.

I think education has a lot to do with it. We get little to no education in financial and economic matters until college, and then it still depends on what you major in.Anytime somebody makes the argument that "the economy is doing great!" you need to ask them to explain why they think that.

I should clarify, normal americans outside of major metro areas. No average person I know is that daft in any area that I've resided.

White House: "Schiff and Congressional Democrats Are Playing Right into Russia's Hands...Fiona Hill warned today that it is Russia's goal to delegitimize the President of the United States. "
I was expecting to be disappointed!if you know anything about the history of the Nixon probe, you wouldn't be as surprised. You get the small stuff out of the way first. Finish big.
So this is my first time actually watching the stream over clips...what are with those signs behind where the committee sits?
Or confess to multiple crimes, implicate Trump in multiple crimes, purjure himself on another matter, all while thinking he did a great job as Trump's personal lawyer.Giuliani on the stand would be wild. I wouldn't even know what to expect. He might straight up perjure himself. Or sell out trump. who knows.

The sad thing is that annecdotally, no one around me is paying attention to the impeachment proceedings. I asked a coworker and they said they hadn't heard anything about it at all :/
