They will rue this day as the facts come out.

This is on them for their cultish addiction for a man with NO morals, NO adherence to the rule of law they demand of Democratic Party Presidents, NO respect for the Office of The President.


Every Democrat running for office MUST Bring this up in their campaigns in a way that appeals to the general population of voters for whom VALUES and PRINCIPLES still play a role in how they vote.

What the Fuck took ‘em so long???

I remember an era in which Judith Miller was thrown in jail for 70-some-days for not cooperating with committee requests to testify.

I want those days, and those Congressional guts, again! They’ve fiddled and diddled for months. Senator Mazie Hirono was on MSNBC this morning saying she was urging this LAST MAY. So they finally got here after wasting FOUR MONTHS!

Let’s get ON WITH IT, DAMMIT!!!

Democrats have been far too timid in the face of Republican extremism for DECADES. Trying to "claim the center" has only resulted in moving the center to the right again and again and again.

We need bold new leadership with actual direction. Not timidly trying to defend the center.

Impeachment will expose their crimes and obstruction, which Barr radically tried to paper over. Put a check on the GOP mobbed up goons already!!!!

Fight back

Trump has changed committed many crimes since then. Could have been on our Impeachment Volume 2.

Instead, they're taking the time to do it right, notwithstanding the relentless pressure they're getting from the press and a very vocal base to do it NOW! That's the antithesis of timidity.

Good! As the investigation proceeds, let's get this ALL documented on votes. These enabling sons of bitches (one jamie herrera-beutler who represents me in WA) need to be pulled out in to the light of day. We need to, as a nation, recognize just exactly who is looking for the truth, and who is covering for this pathological lying piece of orange shit that resides in the White House at our expense.

Mark the cowards with a Scarlet E, for enablers.
