@NancyPelosi What can we do, out here, to help stop Trump from being inaugurated? Equal Protection suit? Happy to sign onto one.

1. So

Was George "slam dunk" Tenet at the root of it?

[PoliticAverse]

2. But fortunately for them, she took "impeachment off the table". n/t

[pnwmom]

9. If she hadn't Obama would never have been able to get

the stimulus passed or Obamacare.

[PoliticAverse]

13. Not a single republican in the Senate voted for Obamacare.

And the Democrats had a majority in the House.

[pnwmom]

15. You must not remember previous impeachments.

Other business would have taken a backseat to the imppeachment.

And Obama, who didn't want the distraction of an impeachment, couldn't have known when he took office that the R's had already decided to block every single substantive thing he tried to do. That was unprecedented.

People around here love to use their 20/20 hindsight, but Obama and Pelosi didn't have it in 2009.

14. OR even get elected?

Republicans would have loved to paint Democrats as pursuing a spiteful impeachment of a wartime president.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. And the news media sits back and waits for a Democrat to point out the lie.

Sad but I guess that's the way it's going to be.

[ThoughtCriminal]

4. Trump made two lies in one tweet

1. No it is not the same people. That was George Tenet.
2. No it was not even close to being the biggest EC victories. It was not even in the top 40.

[riversedge]

6. Thanks--I had forgotten about Tenet.

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

7. it wasn't a tweet

But isn't it hilarious how his press release is as short as one?

[uponit7771]

5. Yeap, most Americans get "fake news" from the established news organizations being incompetent

[progressoid]

8. Facts schmacts. Hell a majority of Republicans still believe that we found WMDs in Iraq.

[killbotfactory]

10. A lot of democrats didn't want to hear this at the time.

Democrats thought it was a losing proposition to oppose the Iraq war, because if we found WMDs it would have made us look foolish.

[milestogo]

11. Trump isn't a big fan of details, and he really isn't a fan of the truth.

[Red Oak]

12. So the Dems that voted for that war were only following Bush-Cheney?

Our Senators, as an example, were voting for the IRAQ war because of just Bush and friggin Cheney?

These Senators knew that the intel said no WMDs and voted for the war anyway because of just BUSH and FRIGGIN CHENEY????
