    Dr. Fiona Hill bringing it this morning. I like where she's going with this line of testimony though I'm not optimistic it will stick with the GOP.

    Trump says he wants no quid pro quo, but doesn't realize that's not a kind of bird.

    And she will not suffer fools. Looking forward to her pushback on the GOP questioning. Also interesting: her comments on Bolton and, briefly, Kash Patel (who connects to Nunes).

    Yes, the damage has been done, but just think how much worse it will be if it isn't done. What if he gets re-elected with a mandate and does twice as much damage? This can always get a lot worse, and I think it's dangerous to think of this as something we're almost through with, for multiple reasons. We have to remember how vital it is that Trump is not re-elected, and we need to remember that it's completely possible.

    No questions. Just grandstanding from these cowards. They don't want Dr. Hill to speak because they know she'll own them.

    The end truth is YOU are the second tier act, you fucking joker.

    Watching Nunes while that's read...wow. I'm surprised he didn't burst into flame.

    I DVR all of this so I can fast-forward through Nunez and Jordan (and some others).

    Fucking Plex won't let you set manual recording times, and since it's special programming, the TV listings are wrong. So I've had to just turn them off when those morons come up, go make a cup of tea, and hope they've shut up by the time I get back.

    The TV listings did not show “Impeachment Hearings” until the last two days, so I set up the DVR to record EVERY SHOW on MSNBC from 8 am Central through 5 pm Central. Then the fuckers finally changed it to “Impeachment Hearings” but the DVR wasn’t set for THAT so I missed the whole first section of Sonderland. Ugh.

    Been waiting for Bolton on Twitter, his last tweet was the day after he resigned.

    Until this morning.

    I don't get the Bolton twitter thing. Why did the WH have access to his *personal* Twitter - and why couldn't he just make a new account?

    I still think some game is being played here, but I haven't figured it out yet.

    Because it’s an official account with a blue check, his handle is AmbJohnBolton, so it’s likely the WH took control via implied official ownership until Bolton’s legal team wrestled it back.

    This all makes sense, because Trumo was shit-talking Bolton on Fox right after Bolton left, claiming he fired Bolton, and Bolton was TEXTING people at Fox to say Trump was lying. It would have been a Hell of a lot easier just Tweeting. Trump must have also been attempting other methods of silencing Bolton, as well.

    Bolton is KNOWN as a vindictive guy; NOBODY wants to cross him.

    quoting from elsewhere:
    Individual polls will always make for better headlines than the trend, but even a reliable polling institution sometimes gets bad data. You can see the skew of Emerson's most recent batch of respondents, in how their general election results track:

    Wow. Before this presidency, I would honestly never have imagined a situation where an impeachment inquiry into a presidential power abuse scandal involving the extortion of another country to purposefully distort the public’s ability to make an informed decision in a national election was co-chaired by someone who was involved in the effort....and simply refused to recuse.
    insane times.

    Linking to reddit instead of CNN because there are a number of quality posts in the thread that expand on the original article (which is linked right at the top)

    https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/co...ongress_nunes/

    This feels big. Really, really big. And yet, somehow, I fear that it's still going to either get swept under the rug, or people will buy whatever BS the GOP comes up with to counter it.

    Ugh, Bolton’s “big reveal” is that he has a PAC supporting a bunch of Republicans for Congress.

    It’s apparent that a PR team wrote the Tweet.

    No idea what it all means.

    Rep. Swalwell introduced the Politico article about this, as evidence, this week:

    Trump signed law making animal cruelty a federal crime, the first thing he has put into motion I can think of that I agree with.
