Maybe we should just impeach Trump

so I'm not sure I'm behind the "delay the delivery of impeachment articles to the Senate"  tactic
it is by no way going to make Mitch do something different

no, but it'll deny trump and the GOP a platform to put their charade all over TV.

I do like this new hashtag  #IMPOTUS

this guy is really too much

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
Nancy Pelosi is looking for a Quid Pro Quo with the Senate. Why aren’t we Impeaching her?

Umm…did Jason Narducy just name drop Bearman!
and did our very own bearman read the articles of impeachment on the House fucking floor!

holy fucking shit!
that's amazing

I think Bearman just locked up boardie of the year

I have concluded that, if the Senate issues a subpoena for my testimony, I am prepared to testify.
Ambassador John Bolton

Am pretty sure Senate Republicans will never subpoena him so it’s a moot point

this was a good response

Bolton’s decision is both welcome and galling. If a subpoena issued by the Republican Senate is valid and doesn’t require him to go to court, so is one issued by the Democratic House. Subpoenas aren’t printed on red or blue paper.

please update me if I am wrong (which I'm sure you'll do) ….the House never actually Subpoenaed Bolton

correct.  dems subpoenaed his deputy and he went to court to fight it (or, more generously, asked the courts to decide on congress vs. white house).  bolton indicated that he would do the same, dems decided they didn't have time for protracted court battles, so they didn't bother trying to compel bolton.

We get what our electoral college decided for us. And they decided to give us a demagogue. SMDH.

I will say, Pelosi was given a hard time for delaying to deliver to the senate…with Bolton's statement I think we are waay more likely to now see Collins, Romney, Gardner and Murkowski say "I think we should hear Bolton speak before rushing to judgement"
He's not going to get removed, but the optics will be really bad
although starting WWIII was a great tactical move on their part

I wish Bolton's book would get published sooner, he wants to get a best seller and an a senate performance will send sales through the roof

whoa…wasn't expecting this
McConnell to move ahead on Senate trial rules without Democrats

welp, just in case, trump as a plan for this
Trump tells Fox that he would consider invoking executive privilege to block John Bolton’s testimony before the Senate “for the sake of the office.”

Seems the the actions of an innocent person…

whops ….put that in the wrong thread

Senate impeachment trial to start next Tuesday

but this kind of shit is crazy that people are going to let this happen…no photos or audio!
(doesn't the camera have audio and we can take stills…so not 100% true)


and new stuff too! (see this is why Nancy waited a little bit…)

BREAKING: Schiff transmits new evidence to Nadler that will be included as part of the official record handed to the Senate for the impeachment trial.

Disclosure includes documents produced by Lev Parnas.

Lev…is going to save our democracy!

and the perfect response to this…
