The thing about the impeachment hearing is the professionalism

and qualification and decency of the ambassadors and other experts stands in stark contrast to the bluster and lies of all the Trump people like Giuliani and Nunes and Trump himself. Hopefully it will remind people of how wonderful people in Washington can be. And maybe some Trump fans will feel longing for the past.

1. Absolutely. The professionalism is astounding.

What I'm in awe of too is the amount of preparation that has to have gone into this. They've left nothing to chance. They are prepared for any contingency.

2. Don't think it will hold any water with Trump fans.

They're exactly like Trump and his cronies. Racists, bigots, liars, cheats, etc.

6. Like the swine

That's pitiful.

7. I work with a bunch of Trumpers.

They are all bullies, loud screamers who insist they are right and "libtards" are good for nothing people taking their tax money.

9. Oh my!

You have my sympathies for sure. That's like a bad bardo.

Hang in there and remember that what squeals loudly like certainly has problems and wants to share them. As you know, they project so often and so strongly and don't seem to realize that it reveals a lot about them and has less to do with their chosen "object" because it is NOT "out there". But then, sociology and psychology may be too nuanced for them, though I am biased. Know thyself has a particular importance in this case.

So, just how good for nothing are they and whose money, (and how much) are they getting away with on the sly? That's usually how I think about them when I am unfortunate enough to be in proximity of their often delusional banter.

Just put the mirror up, so to speak. That might help. Protesting too loudly can be a real indicator and I think we are all learning a lot about this effect from the current round of Republican deflections, etc.

4. she was a great witness. so understated, but no nonsense.

so many times, i was answering in my head. hell yes, absolutely, are you fucking kidding me. but she just gave simple yes and no answers. flat, factual, calm.
perfect.

5. It's that very professionalism that is now hated by the GOP base.

Their propaganda has equated education and intelligence with Liberal elitism and condescension, and fueled resentments that put DJT in office.

It is really sad to see so many people (including my relatives) be so easily deceived, and gleefully embrace it.

8. something I'm really hoping

is that for some trumpsters somewhere, a light will go on that's stayed dark through all the other bad acts. I think trump's tweet in the middle of her testimony may move a few more into the light.

11. yeah, but you know you secretly want Schiff to replace the gavel with a whistle
