There is an impeachment inquiry going on, and Devin Nunes is obsessed about ratings?

[guillaumeb]

Nunes' statement might be the most idiotic part of what I have watched to date.

And he follows this up by asking the 2 witnesses if either of them was directed by the White House to orchestrate the covert operation that is at the heart of this latest Trump crime.

As if he is unaware that Rudy Giuliani was acting as Trump's agent in this operation.

Amazing? No, simply sad.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He's just following in the footsteps of Dear Leader, who is obsessed with ratings.

[guillaumeb]

2. And the size of his crowds. Yes, I know,

but to think that the GOP has been reduced to promoting conspiracy theories instead of policies.

And all of these GOP politicians have been reduced to Trump's co-conspirators.

And, saddest of all, that 38% of these voters see Trump as a good President.

[RockRaven]

3. He was speaking directly to Trump there, IMO, telling Trump that he (Nunes) is doing a good job.

It sounds insane, but between their two twisted minds it somehow fits together in that way.

[guillaumeb]

4. And he was also speaking to Trump's FOX watching base. eom

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Murdoch Media and Dear Leader

I am doing my best to suck your ass.

[guillaumeb]

6. And he is doing that very well indeed.

He obviously has no sense of shame.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Looking like he best sign on with Murdoch.

[Wounded Bear]

8. They got nuttin'....nt

[guillaumeb]

9. And everyone can see it.

But to be fair, Trump could not be defended by anyone, no matter how skilled.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Problem is Fox isn't showing the whole thing, and the Trumplodytes will buy the spin...

[guillaumeb]

11. The polls show support for impeachment is growing steadily.

So their strategy is not working, except in the Senate of course.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Really? Impeaching or impeaching and removing?

[guillaumeb]

18. Impeaching itself polls higher.

Removing lower.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. True ! What do you attribute that gap yo?

[guillaumeb]

24. Perhaps some need more evidence?

It worked this way for Nixon as well. But after the hearings, there was so much evidence that it forced the GOP to act.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. Too bad it's all so murky. Too bad there isn't like

A recording or something in writing. Watching hearings, some knew one piece some knew another. Takes effort to piece it all together. Can't see many being overwhelmingly convinced.

[guillaumeb]

28. In my opinion, what you describe is the "smoking gun" theory, wherein the guilty

party must be holding the gun, or admit to the shooting.

But this is only applied when the accused is a Republican. If the accused is a Democrat, the accusation is sufficient to prompt calls for the Democrat to immediately resign.

[LiberalFighter]

12. Nunes must not know that the hearing is being broadcast during the evening news.

On all local tv stations. At least where I am and I don't live in a blue state or county.

[guillaumeb]

13. Or he does not care. eom

[UpInArms]

17. He just bitched because we are now in prime time

[elleng]

14. because he knows his pal is!

[guillaumeb]

19. It is so sad that an entire Party is reducd to co-conspirators

of a con man who is totally incompetent to run a small business, much less a country.

[abqtommy]

15. The impeachment hearings and devinnunescow both have higher ratings

than Devin Nunes does!

[guillaumeb]

20. The imaginary cow is smarter,

and has more integrity.

[ornotna]

22. And magic minutes

He's an idiot.

[guillaumeb]

23. He is not very smart,

but he can manipulate some voters.

[beachbumbob]

26. Will use every form of distraction, what else does he have?

[guillaumeb]

29. All the GOP has is distraction.

And Trump cannot even keep his own lies consistent.

[beachbumbob]

31. Yep, thru in Rudy, we have the clown car of all clown cars

[mucifer]

27. not that it matters but ratings were up yesterday and I am sure they were better today:

[guillaumeb]

30. In my view, that is huge.

As more people testify, the evidence will grow and Trump will react even more insanely than he has so far.

[beachbumbob]

32. I figure the highest so far, until Bolton appears as he will

be the one who can end trump. Even snakes have some character at times and perhaps Bolton does as well.
