I thought, now what is Rachel going to say?
It was over, Mueller was done. But I never miss Rachel. She told me to watch
the Republicans reaction. And I did. Adam Schiff is now my hero. I just wonder
why he was so well prepared? And the Repugs, Nunez and the boys had to eat
their crap.
Rachel is such a hard worker, you just can not be that good without hours of
work.

Thu Mar 28, 2019, 11:29 PM

...and what a strange pair of historical bookends it creates if you look at it a certain way.

Senator Joe McCarthy was a crazy Commie-hunter who ruined numberless lives with his Inquisition. But I'll give him this much: he thought he was saving this country from Russia. He was despicable, but a traitor he was not.

The modern Republican Party, currently led by Trump (who is really more of a symptom than a cause), is a whole different kettle of stinking fish. They have chosen to stand by the men who literally will sell this country to Russia for cash. They are despicable -- and traitors.

In one lifetime. I honestly do not understand this.

But today Congressman Schiff delivered a resounding, blistering, "At long last, have you no shame?" to the GOP. And Lawrence O'Donnell is right: this speech is going to be remembered a long long time.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Adam Schiff.

The right-wing attacks on Adam have reached a whole new level. Yesterday during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, President Trump declared that Adam should be “forced out of office.” This morning, he tweeted the same and called Adam a “liar” and a “leaker.”

Not only did Trump call on Adam to resign from Congress, but he said he is “a bad guy” and “a disgrace to our country.” There’s one reason and one reason only Adam faces these attacks and smears from the president, and that’s because he is working to hold the president accountable to the people.

Trump joins his closest allies Kellyanne Conway, Kevin McCarthy, and other right-wing conservatives in attacking Adam’s character. It’s a ridiculous smear campaign, and we know it’s only happening because Adam has been unafraid to hold Trump and his cronies accountable and willing to fight for the rule of law.

Adam will not be intimidated, but he needs your support now more than ever, especially as we face our first FEC fundraising deadline of the year this Sunday. Will you pitch in a contribution right now to let Trump and the GOP know that you have Adam’s back?

If you don't have a twitter account, you need to get one. Follow the good guys and the Dodo or nature related accounts, or your interests besides politics. You don't need to follow twittler or Sarah Huckabee.

And yes, Rep. Schiff is pretty awesome.

I'm going to push back, and push back hard when I hear that shit anymore. YES, most are corrupt...even many Democrats...true. I'm going out on a limb here, but I think EVERY repuKKKe is corrupt; but Cogressmen and women like Representative Schiff are to be held in high esteem and recognized for a rare integrity that only a few possess.

This man is fighting for the last shreds of our republic. I salute his courage and character!
