Just switched from Chris Hayes' 'discussion' with some repug apologist,

[elleng]

watching a rerun of Morse on PBS now; no patience for hollering matches.

[malaise]

1. A fool, a liar and a hypocrite

At least Chris stood up to him

[dchill]

26. I thought you were going to say "..walked into a bar -"

and the barkeep says, "What's your poison, Mr. Reed?"

[malaise]

30. Ha

[mopinko]

2. i dunno. i was chuckling.

they got nuthin. nuthin.

[bamagal62]

3. Funny,

I also just switched channels. I just can’t listen to them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Who was that tool?

I thought it would be a good time to feed the cat and visit the loo, so I never found out who he was.

[asiliveandbreathe]

9. Tom Reed tea party nutty...

Thomas W. Reed II who serves (cough, cough) as the U.S. Representative for New York's 23rd congressional district. They have nothing if they think impeaching this pos is bad for our country...is that really how they are going to mount a defense...PULLEEZZ

[madaboutharry]

5. That guy was a jerk.

He said that the threshold for impeachment is committing a crime that is punishable by death. What an idiot.

Why are so many republicans in Congress so stupid?

[coti]

6. What, like treason? nt

[Squinch]

12. No. Like blow jobs between consenting adults. I guess Rs think that is a death penalty thing now.

[shraby]

7. They got there through severe gerrymandering.

[csziggy]

13. So, lying about a blow job is a death penalty item?

Because that is what the GOP "got" Bill Clinton on. They simply couldn't find anything else to pin on him and resorted to that.

I just never thought that was worth killing a President over.

[Squinch]

14. Oops. I didn't read down far enough. This was my reaction exactly.

[TheRealNorth]

18. Where does it say that the impeachable crime must be punishable by death in the Constitution

Spoiler alert - it doesn't. It does specifically mention Bribery and Treason, and there are cases to be made that Trump is guilty of both.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States

Nowhere does it mention perjury about a consensual affair, but the Republicans thought it was all fine and well to impeach for that. I guess that has "pizazz".

But I guess to be a Republican today, you must believe in one standard of justice for Republicans, and a different standard for Democrats.

[IADEMO2004]

8. I'd vote for treason just for Helsinki press conference.

[dchill]

28. +1,000,000!

[rurallib]

10. me too - be nice if Hayes made an attempt to holler back

and at least make the asshole inaudible.

[elleng]

11. Hayes does/did a fair amount of cross-examination/clarifying facts.

[UniteFightBack]

22. Yes...but at the end of the interview he really failed and let him steamroll right over him. nt

[elleng]

24. I didn't stay that long.

[Kid Berwyn]

15. Small mind, when also closed, is small place.

For the distinguished gentleman from NY, absolutely microscopic.

[USALiberal]

16. Maybe avoid political shows! nt

[whathehell]

17. Love Morse..

I've seen them all at least twice.

[elleng]

21. Ditto

[bullwinkle428]

19. I'm sorry, but I thought Hayes did a MASTERFUL job in illustrating the absolute

clown-show nature of Reed's argument about Chump "investigating corruption"!

[elleng]

20. Hayes did fine; I couldn't put up with the guy (reed?)'s b.s.

[UniteFightBack]

23. It was good until the end of the interview where Hayes got completely shut down on his own show. nt

[whathehell]

25. I don't know that he got "shut down", but Reed did get the last word

.which bothered me too....I thought Chris may have "had" to because of time constraints or something.

[UniteFightBack]

27. I was in the car and heard about 20 but but but and no no no but but

but out of him. The Russiapublican got him off track...he did 'come back' and was able to make a couple of points - but not the original one he was trying to make (and yes he made a lot of good points tonight).

I try not to judge to harshly as it's not the easiest thing to do....live interviews with lying Russiapublicans and you do have to let them talk or else nobody will come on your show.

[whathehell]

31. Had you been able to SEE the two together, rather than

simply hear them, I think your impression of the exchange might have been different.
What you didn't see was Chris doubling over in laughter in response to this guy's "filibuster" -- He didn't take him seriously, and the visual manifestation of that undercut the Repuke's attempt to verbally dominate him.

[Hoyt]

29. I agree. Just putting these morons on TV is enough to turn any reasonable person

against these losers. I think people are smart enough to see through the BS. It’s just trumpsters don’t care.
