Times Square, tonight, from a friend. One good reason to participate in pro-impeachment protests is that you won't have to beg your grandchildren for forgiveness, or make up some stupid story, once they're old enough to ask you what you were doing at this crucial moment. pic.twitter.com/0o9qKYtt6w

“I am incapable of expressing how crazy this letter is.”
~ @JeffreyToobinWhat Toobin doesn’t acknowledge is that we are not the audience for this letter.
The Trumpist cult and the right-wing rage machine are its audiences. And they’ll eat it up.https://t.co/kwD5ARi6bo

“To say the process is ‘partisan,’ or that the two sides are ‘unable to agree,’ misleads average Americans who think there is some shared responsibility for the result of one party’s willingness to subvert the truth and the Constitution.” https://t.co/PLEIeU0LIN

Think about how crazy this is: Putin-linked Oligarch indicted by US Justice Dept with attacking the 2016 election is now funding the President’s team to interfere in the 2020 election. https://t.co/2DxORIdG5m

I swear all those Damn Republicans have ear splitting accents. It’s like Goober whines every time they’re speaking.
Quotation for the Day:
“You see, it’s also not a matter of process which will be discussed today, it’s a matter of actual facts. I will fight the facts all day long… You know, obstruction of Congress, as I’ve before, is like petulant children saying, ‘We didn’t get our way when we didn’t ask the right way and we didn’t try to go after and make a case.’ You know why, Madam Speaker, the clock and the calendar are terrible masters and the majority will own that problem today. Because to the clock and the calendar, facts don’t matter, the promises to the base matter.”
—Rep Doug Collins (R-GA), impeachment defender for President Trump, making a series of startling admissions this afternoon on the floor of the House
Well okey dokey then.
So ashamed of my state for this “representative”.
Wow – does that not describe what is happening to the letter?
It’s a perfect description of Trump.
Sure is.
Auntie Maxine!

JJ, I loved that article on the new plants discovered this year. Fascinating.
Shit. The ACA is being eaten away.
I know … what ratfuckers!
Rep Swalwell! Damn we have eloquent speakers.
Hey, JJ, Pelosi read your post. She just did what you said!
