What the fuck, Republicans?
And to top it all off, these quintessential racist phrases appear in the article:
Seconded.
And for all the crying and gnashing of teeth about Antifa, where were they to keep the fascist mob at bay ?! That’s what I want to know.
Put them in General Population, microwave some popcorn, and just watch the show.
They’re so damn tough, they should have NO problem.
That looks like revolt, mutiny, insurrection, rebellion, interfering with an investigation, something. Lock their asses up for contempt, while you figure out more serious charges.
All that to destroy an investigation of a traitor president and his traitor cronies.
Fucking traitor bastards.
The Repubs ARE the Fascists.
that’s what I said.
The laws and facts are not on ‘their’ side, so their ‘A’ game is to break into the proceedings and cause a ruckus.
These guys are taking lessons from the lowest of the low MAGA’s. Guess that’s all they got.
Can’t they just move to another room and hold the hearing?
I occasionally hear references to a capitol police force. Apparently they don’t carry handcuffs?
Can’t they kick them out? Or at least demand decorum? That’s got to be contempt for every one of them. Maybe obstruction too.
It was in a secured room where no recording could occur.
So, if anyone knows, barging in with devices capable of recording is…
kosher?
a crime?
a slight faux pas?
Apparently they refused to leave and also brought their phones into the area even though that is prohibited.
I’m scared they’re going to break in when the anonymous whistleblower(s) is/are testifying. And then goons like Gaetz or Nunez will tell trump their identity.
Dems need better security to protect the proceedings from these lawbreaking lawmakers (the GOP).
Will any of this take money from their pockets or land them in jail? That is the new Trump standard for giving a shit.
And probably so is the whistleblower, which is likely the entire point.
Maybe it’s a good thing that they spent their shot, if you will, strategy-wise while a known person was testifying. At the least, sessions that follow should be better patrolled by police in riot gear.
The whistleblower will never testify and doesn’t need to. We’re so far beyond that. The whistleblower made the allegations, Trump himself confirmed them to be true by releasing his call summary, and every witness called since has corroborated what was contained in the whistleblower’s report.
Here’s the best analogy I’ve seen to help understand this: If someone calls 911 to report a fire, firefighters respond and find a fire is indeed in progress. The fact of the fire is witnessed by all of them. No one cares who called 911.
It’s the facts that matter, not who provided the allegations. Are the allegations true or not? In this case, it would seem they are true.
The GOP has members on the committees present in the hearing room for all testimony. They get to ask questions and everything, same as the Democrats. If they had heard anything in the testimony that exonerated Trump, believe me, they would be leaking it like a blown water heater.
I’m fairly certain there are one or two more SCIFs in the DC area.
I heard they had pizza delivered and someone brought Chik filet (however it’s spelled)
I wasn’t sure whether or not there would be whistleblower (WB) testimony. I’m sure these GOP whiners will make a big deal if no WB testifies and claim that trump ‘s right to confront his accuser is being violated. They keep trying to turn this into a court trial instead of the political process it actually is and claiming Democratic violation of rules that don’t apply. Most of the public is too ignorant to know that due process rules for a normal criminal trial don’t apply for impeachment and removal processes.
I want Dems to get way better security. Physical attack is what this is and republicans have done it in the past such as when GWB was “elected.” They cannot be allowed to do this again.
