...that's it? lame.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

So how long does this Inquiry take before we get to the real thing?

"But she only cares about her own position!" they said.

"She doesn't have the guts!" they said.

"She's complicit!" they said.

Delicious.

After all of the russia stuff how ironic that trump gets impeached for ukraine.

 

[Sandstar]

I meant that I expect the inquiry to ignore the involvement of his family in the past mueller investigation coverup. The one Don Jr was never indicted for lying about. I've explained what I meant twice now. Just accept it

You do know that the house can't indict anyone. It's not a grand jury, nor a court of law.

Slight OT:
The USA Today stream is fucking hilarious. I'm dying laughing hearing the cameramen talk about gear and the journalists cracking jokes.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Do what? This is just for an impeachment inquiry.

You say "just" like it's not a fucking massive thing. They don't start this ball rolling unless they are willing to finish it. Which was always Pelosi's stance. Last night is became politically obvious that Trump is going to be Impeached by the House. Pelosi's actions today have been about: 1. Making sure that everyone in the caucus understands the nature of the fight they are picking 2. laying the groundwork for the whole thing to be as successful as possible.

Nixon's impeachment process (he was never actually impeached, or course) was done by a firmly Democrat House and Senate and it was still a trial that ended up destroying the party and setting up 20 years of Republican rule. This one will be even harder to execute and will be far more dangerous.

Working on the Watergate timeline, around 3-4 months or so.

She was dragged into doing it kicking and screaming. Trump basically has spent half the year daring then to impeach. Only applause she deserves is a sarcastic one.

There we go :D

He resigned the second that the votes were there against him.

His impeachment process was undertaken by a firmly Democrat House and Senate. Which was my point. Hell, the fact that he wriggled out of actual impeachment even further underscores how difficult the process is.

I meant the grand jury that Mueller had during the investigation

 

[Chaos Legion]

Two things I overheard a couple of coworkers saying:

"Leave the man alone."
"They're just doing this because they didn't get what they wanted."

That's my fear that if this inquiry doesn't lead to impeachment it will embolden the whole "Democrats are just mad he's president" narrative.

Why are you making a comment in the impeachment thread about a grand jury that was dismissed months ago?
