Did someone tell Castor to turn up the personality because he is dull but he accidentally cranked up the whiny bitch knob instead?

He doesn't even get close to spelling Zelensky's name right.

There is absoluelty no way Trump knew the words 'quid pro quo' before the whole inquiry and WB stuff happened, let alone used it in any conversation.

So what hearing was he watching? Or did he just watch Nunes's opening (wrong) statement?



Jim Acosta

@Acosta


Trump did not take questions as he left WH for Texas visit. Read from notes. Declared that Sondland has cleared him, adding "this is the final word from the president of the United States. I want nothing." h/t WH pool.

"There was a quid pro quo."

TOTALLY CLEARS THE PRESIDENT! THANK YOU!

In other news Israel failed to form a government again, 21 days for Knesset to find a way or we go to a third election.

That Sonland was willing to part with a million dollars to get caught up in all this and have the President say he doesn't know him is a great argument for taxing the wealthy more

I want see that Nunes obstruction quote. If this keeps up we might see some naive GOP congresspeople asking the WH to cooperate to clear the air.

I hate to be the cynical one but sondland's refusal to say trump specifically directed him is going to be a problem. It's a one stop refrain for any republican asked about impeachment.

Wouldn't worry about that. The GOP is always going to come up with some excuse. We already know he's going to be impeached. What the dems have to do now is turn this into an indictment on the GOP as a whole.

Albeit one that's a hundred times the size -- DC is closer in scale to Singapore than to the Vatican or Monaco.

Yes, but large cities like DC (or philly, which is near me) already run as basically miniature states anyway. Philly is legally both a city AND a county under PA law for this reason, so if for some reason Philly got statehood, Jim Kenney would simply take a "governor" title instead of Mayor and virtually nothing else would change. Breaking it up into smaller cities would be nonsensical and would NEVER happen.

I mostly worry about it not being enough for the more moderate D senators to convict if you literally can't place the gun in trump's hand beyond a shadow of doubt.

And that WI poll is :( Hopefully today will move the needle.

yeah but...



That number is probably going to move after this week.

edit: also-

The poll was conducted Oct. 13-17, 2019. The sample included 799 registered voters in Wisconsin interviewed by cell phone or landline, with a margin of error of +/- 4.2 percentage points. Democratic presidential candidate preference items were asked of respondents who said they would vote in the April Democratic presidential primary. That sample size is 379, with a margin of error of +/-6.3 percentage points.

a 4 point shift is still basically statistical noise.

double edit: this one is from the october poll, couldn't find MOE for november.

What exactly has happened to move people away from impeach and remove?

It's likely within the margin of error. With 6% "unsure", the question may have been asked slightly differently and/or nothing has actually changed in reality.

Removal of the President is still currently a partisan position, unfortunately.

The weirdest thing about WI to me is that out of the three states, it was probably Trump's least impressive win in 2016.

He got less votes than Romney!
