The hole Donny dig himself continues to get deeper. This would be more enjoyable to witness of it weren't so harmful to my country. Few people deserved to be held accountable more than Donny.

Soros is a wealthy financier often assailed by conservatives and known for his support of liberal causes.

Conspiracy theorists go into overdrive when they hear that name.

Does the National Enquirer carry any Soros stories or will Trump go to Alex Jones for his research?

The more that comes to light the harder it must be for the republicans to remain silent - and that is what most of them are doing now - remaining silent.  Gone is the hysterical blame Obama, Hilary and the deep state rants.  The republicans are realising that this is one that Trump is not going to bluster his way out off and I'm guessing that many of them are looking at other options to protect their own wellbeing.  The tide has most definitely turned.  Even the pro-Trump posters on this site are posting what appear to be desperate denials and are moving more towards hollow soundings like "Trump 2020".  The end for Donald Trump is approaching and the rats are starting to flee the sinking ship.

They won’t, they have many questions, so once this impeachment hoax takes a vote and becomes official, be careful what you wish for because it will strengthen the Republicans hands to cross examine any of the Democrats witnesses and expect Hunter Biden to be called as well.

No, Trump supporters are not desperate, they just see this hoax.....part 2 for what it is. Remember, once this goes on record 41 Freshman Democrats that one in swing states were Trump won will be in serious jeopardy in 2020 not to mention 53% of voters in key swing States don’t want the President to be impeached. So Nancy wants to take this gamble, please Nancy, do it.

Giuliani has admitted sending to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a packet of information in March including a document describing a discredited theory promoted by Trump allies that Yovanovitch was installed in her post in Kiev by Soros and that unless she was removed, Soros "has as much, or more power over Yovanovitch as the president and the Secretary of State."

They're all just so crazy.

She said Livingston characterized Yovanovitch as an 'Obama holdover' who was associated with liberal activist George Soros.

'Obama', 'Soros', two names among many that trigger alt rightists. That so many of those names triggering them are of people not from Trump’s demographic is not surprising. Trump, like demagogues throughout history is using ethnicity, religion and gender in his divide and conquer approach. And has definitely succeeded in reaching white nationalists in his base willing to push for fuhrer divides. 

Trump, once again like other demagogues, knows it’s easy to unite followers around fighting enemies (real or imagined). Trump’s convinced many in his base that the enemy isn’t foreign states meddling in US affairs, instead it’s their own fellow citizens. More divide and conquer.

I thought Trump was going to drain the swamp of lobbyists.

Exactly. Trump's increased the size of the swamp; it holds even more buckets of snakes. And it could be by allowing foreign states to meddle there are additional swamps competing to undermine the republic.

"This Impeachment nonsense is just a continuation of the Witch Hunt Hoax," he tweeted on Wednesday, exhorting Republicans to "go with Substance and close it out!"

So now that Democrats have blunted the criticism on process, Trump wants to go back to substance, but what substance is there? His own staff keeps testifying against him!

Thanks for reinforcing my point: the enemies aren't foreign states meddling in US affairs, it's US citizens whose beliefs differ from herr diktator's. That tactic is used by the global alt right to undermine democracies - and republics - in their ongoing attempts to establish nationalistic authoritarian states. Which would be easier for one of the burgeoning empires (maybe both) to control.

Will be a pleasure to see people like Giuliani in the spotlight. Just what was he doing, hanging out with actual gangsters like Lev Parnas, who previously threatened a landlord and held a gun to his head.

I assume Pelosi and Schiff are waiting until the end to subpoena John Bolton and have him testify...

Knowing Bolton's ego, I'm sure he's ready to land some bombshells after Trump called him a "disaster"...

Just think of all those juicy details on how Trump, "Hand Grenade" Rudy and Sonland were running their "drug deal" to shakedown Ukraine and smear Biden. And Bolton was on the phone call, so he can add another confirmation of the QPQ and that Sonland lied under oath to Congress when he said he knew nothing.

How ironic - the darling of the NEOCONs will be the nail in the coffin for Trump...

That would be nice but I wouldn't take anything for granted. Trump is annoyingly resilient, like mosquitoes, and he has enough worshippers to scare Republican politicians into falling in line to get re-elected.

5 ( +6 / -1 )

House Democrats late on Wednesday pushed a bill through a key panel that lays out procedures for public hearings by the House Intelligence Committee, which is probing Trump's dealings with Ukraine, and other panels.

The Rules Committee, in a partisan vote, sent the measure to the full House, clearing the way for an expected vote on Thursday.

Democrats, and Hillary worshippers, act as if this bill has already passed a House vote. It hasn't.

It will be interesting to see how many elected Democrats will go on the record as being in favor of this bill after it is finally read into the record. Will Republicans be able to call witnesses, or will they need permission from the likes of Schiff?

-7 ( +1 / -8 )

Elected Democrats have to hurry this witch hunt along before the Justice Dept. releases the findings of their criminal investigation into the investigators of the investigation into the great Russian/Mueller witch hunt.

-8 ( +1 / -9 )

Yeah so you are telling me there were no Democrat lobbyists related to Ukraine?

but Biden just made a super PAC (which he will ban but only after he uses one to get elected) and guess what?

“Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has a brand new Super PAC in his corner, and it’s being run by a registered foreign agent for the government of Azerbaijan”

Repubs can get transcripts if schiff agrees. Can call witnesses if Schiff agrees. This resolution is nonsense.

Democratic-led impeachment inquiry

That would be the Democrats. They will fail to overturn the results of the 2016 election with their impeachment BS and they will pay dearly for it in 2020.

Phew! It smells just awful, doesn't it?

The only ones who don't seem to mind it are the Republican congressmen and senators who are wearing clothes pins stuck to their noses and saying Nope, I can't smell a thing!

Omg, there's been so many nails pounded into that coffin and Trump's still not even in it.

The trial should be fun, but we all already know he's guilty. 

In this country, at least, people are innocent until proven guilty.

And there's not going to be any trial, as there is no substantiated evidence of any serious wrongdoing.

-9 ( +1 / -10 )

This is a fine example of where Dems are:

“In a striking scene at the outset of the Rules Committee meeting, Florida Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings, who himself was impeached and removed from the federal bench in 1989 for taking bribes, outlined the alleged "high crimes and misdemeanors" that he said Trump had committed.”

-9 ( +1 / -10 )

Simon Foston - That would be nice but I wouldn't take anything for granted.

Democrats love to take things for granted. They convinced themselves that Hillary would be POTUS, that Mueller would find something to impeach Trump for, that Schiff actually had the evidence he claimed he had actually seen that would impeach Trump, that Republicans would actually believe the fairytales that have been driving the Democrats need for revenge, that Pelosi could change precedent by starting a Presidential impeachment based solely on her say so, that Republicans would not dare to dispute Democrat subpoenas in court, and that Democrat spin, twist, and slander would cause the voters to rise up and demand impeachment by an overwhelming majority. Time is running out for many Democrats. They are about to be hit with criminal charges for their first failed attempt to find something to impeach Trump for. The facts are about to make the voters very, very angry with many elected Democrats. Tick tock, tick tock.

Manafort might never see the light of day, but Trump people must see him as a hero for sacrificing his life freedom so Trump could get the WH. Isn't Manafort a great man for that?

Excuses excuses. Trump now has the loyal Barr and even with that Hillary still walks free (even with Pizzagate). Burn on the Trumps. Hillary may not be president, but she is really making Trump look stupid as the days...no YEARS go by without her getting arrested for PizzaGate. When can we expect Barr to arrest Hillary for PizzaGate? Waiting waiting (while more of the Trumps get busted). Again isn't Manafort a hero for sacrificing his life so Trump could get in the WH?

Let's all spare a moment in our thoughts today for him in recognition of all the stressful times he is going through.

And how about this....?

I thought everyone (in the U.S.A.) knew that Speaker of the House Pelosi was 2nd in line to become POTUS. If she can remove Trump, and Pence, from office, she'll be President. Did you think she was going through all of this trouble in order to turn the office over to Warren, or Biden?

And here is comes - get ready Trumpers...

House impeachment investigators have asked former national security adviser John Bolton and two key White House lawyers to testify next week as part of the inquiry, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Bolton is scheduled to be deposed on Nov. 7, while National Security Council attorneys John Eisenberg and Michael Ellis are slated to appear on Nov. 4

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/30/impeachment-investigators-ask-john-bolton-to-testify-000307

So we'll hear all about Crazy Rudy the "walking hand grenade" who along with Trump and Sonland were doing a "drug deal" with Ukraine... I mean Bolton still loves Trump, especially after Donnie called him "a disaster"....

For all you Trump loyalists out there who still think that the impeachment process so far is not legal, here is what Federal Judge Beryl Howell just ruled on October 25:

Judge Beryl Howell called the Republican illegality arguments “cherry-picked and incomplete” and without support in the text of the Constitution, House rules, or court precedents. She also noted that the House Judiciary Committee began considering whether to impeach of President Andrew Johnson well before the full House approved a resolution blessing it.

So please, stop repeating the falsehood that there is anything illegal being done by the Democrats here. The only illegal things that are going on are being done by Trump and his minions--refusing to cooperate with Congressional committees, hiding evidence and obstructing Congression investigations by putting out groundless letters of refusal to cooperate.

Well stated. And for all the false-flag, blatantly incorrect statements that the impeachment process is being held in secret without any Republican participation, 47 Republican Congress members have access to all the testimony and hearings....

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/10/24/trump-impeachment-gop-lawmakers-who-have-access-inquiry/4083246002/

As they say, if you have no facts, criticize the process; if the process is correct, stamp your feet and yell like a two year old - which is what we're seeing from Repubs these last two weeks...

But that will all change next week when Bolton testifies - Repubs aren't about to turn on Bolton, a member of the Repub elite class. Just watch them all next week run and hide when anyone with a microphone approaches them and asks for a comment on Bolton's testimony.

What kind of an irrelevant response is that? This isn't about you or where you are at. Following the Constitution is not screwing with it. Following a Federal Judge's ruling is not screwing with it, so where are you getting this from?

It’s an even bigger hoax than the Russian hoax.

You mean the same "Russian Hoax" that ended up with a number of Trump officials pleading guilty to federal charges as well as several of them who are either in prison or are expecting to be sentenced there soon? You need to look up the meanings of words.

ROFL, you serious?

Are you? Prove that there are no Republicans in the committee meetings, and then you might have something to laugh about.

Actually, they do not, they can’t even call on witnesses or cross examine them.

Actually, the ones in the committees do. It's the ones outside of the committees who don't because they are not on the committees. See how this works?

We have a conservative majority now and so far it’s helped Trump as well as now we have over 140 conservatives judges in the lower courts (Democrats beware in the future)

Nixon had a conservative majority on the SC, and the ruled unanimously not in his favor. 140 conservative judges and lower courts have no say in the impeachment procedures, so nice try.

(Democrats beware in the future)

More like Republicans beware right now.
