Michael Cohen testifies on Capitol Hill (over)

[Serene]

But the thing is Trump doesn't have the heart or soul to hear this.

It's foolish at this point for anybody to pretend that Trump can be reached.

lol no one cares about his heart and soul

people are reacting to it because they know it makes Trump angry to hear

 

[Sordid Plebeian]

The writing is so good this season, 10/10 finally

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Cummings ended strong but he shouldn't have waffled on about democracy and normalcy as though it isn't what led to this.

 

[Parthenios]

I've missed everything since the recess. Any highlights (more books and boxes)?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

damn cummings has seen some shit and so tired of it

Click to shrink...

Understand that every elderly black person you see walking down the street in America has seen some shit. Be nice to them.

 

[Ithil]

The screenwriter doesn't even need to write a scene, just transcribe.

 

[NervousXtian]

Best thing I've heard from a congressman in years.

Cummings laying down the fucking truth.

Fuck Jordan, Fuck Meadows.

Fuck protecting Trump.

This was Trump's fucking lawyer and you acted like he did everything alone, fuck you if you think that.

 

[_ifigured]

I loved that ending. I love Cummings. AOC into Pressley into (vomit break) and then a superb finish. Fill in the dirt from above.

 

[Flaurehn]

And people think cheesy speches are just for the movies! That was a mic drop of epic proportions

 

[Sidebuster]

FUCK, all the OTA channels stopped showing this right after Tlaib. So I missed the last 15m.

 

[plié]

Michael Cohen fucking redeemed.

 

[Kaako]

That was an intense hearing. Many emotions.

 

[Pockets]

I felt that "Come on now!"

Unfortunately the other side ain't listening.

 

[Grug]

So SNL pretty much has to get Amy Poehler back to play the emotionally over-animated blonde woman in the background yeah?

 

[Mr. Fantastic]

I NEED A GIF OF THAT FINAL GAVEL SLAM

SO MUCH EMOTION ON HIS FACE

 

[Melkezadek]

Cummings fucking destroyed me. I can't stop crying

 

[Donsonite]

Wow.

 

[EchoSmoker]

Got goosebumps from that, damn...

I don't think he's going to be *reached*. I think he's going to absolutely enraged. And that guy should never spend one minute of his day happy about his station.

Yeah, they really made it clear today that they are not budging in the slightest and they never will.

 

[Sadsic]

That's gonna be a good ass scene in the HBO show

Definitely the most emotional hearing I've watched.

I need to rewatch that Cummings speech at some point, that was POWERFUL.

 

[Powdered Egg]

I have no sympathy for Cohen. He helped Trump get elected.

Because of today and the sympathy tears, this board will now like Cohen more than Bernie Sanders.

 

[Deleted member 16983]

Well done, Mr. Cummings!

 

[Maolfunction]

I feel like that Cummings speech will be taught in history classes in 20 years.

 

[Nothing Loud]

Sorry Cummings, the US is not better than this. It has to prove that it will ever be better than this. This is the destiny USA has been marching toward for years.

It deserves better when it does better, and the first step is taking this shit seriously and indicting everyone who was responsible for this.

 

[Kurdel]

Michael Cohen fucking redeemed.

Real talk

 

[Nightwing123]

Cummings with that powerful closing speech.

 

[Dartastic]

Wa Po is saying "Senpai notices you!" in the Twitch chat. What is 2019.

 

[Kaban]

When he said "A better Donald Trump", I feel like that statement could be interpreted in many different ways.

For example, a defeated Trump sitting in a washed up golf club after the 2020 election, would be a "better" DT

Yeaaaaaaaah this "redemption arc" talk isn't working on me. Fuck this guy.

3 years is light. Especially with how far this country has fallen because of it

 

[Birdie]

What was the speech?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Hammer dropped

 

[Maxim726x]

Didn't the see the second half. Anything interesting?

 

[TheKeyPit]

Damn! What an ending. Amazing speech by Mr Cummings.

 

[Hey Please]

Elijah Cummings, I love you, I respect you, but stop trying to be MLK here.

Yes, we're better than this. But one party tried to get at the truth today, and one party showed their ass.

Click to shrink...

I think he knows that all too well. The speech was meant for the viewers at home, Cohen and others who might just want to turn within the current administration. He did not even acknowledge Republicans' closing bullshit at all.

All that said, Republicans are pure fucking cancer. In fact, money is US politics has a lot to do with it. There is no democracy as long as your system kowtows to special interests with deep pockets.

 

[Deleted member 28461]

So did Cohen lol. He was wiping tears away in the last 20 seconds or so.

Click to shrink...

Oh, I don't blame him at all. If I was sitting in his position, I'd be a wreck.

[Deleted member 4346]

Cummings gave a hell of a speech there. For Americans who believe in these institutions, statements about redemption ring out.

 

[Tabaxi]

9.5/10

Would've been better if Cummings ended it by throwing his gavel at Jordan.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I wish the Dems hadn't backdown with the Meadows racist thing at the end.

 

[DC5remy]

The bottom line is that we have hard proof that the president committed a criminal act. Begin impeachment proceedings.

Late, but I had to see if it had been posted:

Recapping the archive.

Just got to the Talib vs Meadows segment. Woo boy Talib hit a nerve there.
