Any guesses on what Mitch and the gang will do when they vote on impeachment? My guess is they'll brazen it out. They'll sit there and vote that nope, they don't see anything wrong at all. It's fine to ask Russia, China and Ukraine for dirt on your political opponents.

Other possibility: In a lot of places he's now reelection poison. GOP has the SCOTUS, their tax cut, other judicial appointments. Throwing him under the bus now and posing as a patriotic hero might work for a number of senators in purple states.

I received your letter this morning shortly after the world witnessed President Trump on national television asking yet another foreign power to interfere in the upcoming 2020 elections.

In response to Trump saying Pelosi hands out subpoenas like cookies, Cookie Monster sings a rendition of “S Is for Subpoena”:
S is for subpoena; Schiff wants your testimony U is for Ukraine, do a favor for me B is for what is “B” doing in this word? P is for Pompeo and the phone call that he heard O is for oh God, high crimes and misdemeanors E is for Eric; he can’t spell “subpoenas” N is for Nixon; we’ve seen this all before A is for get your big ass out the door

As to the status of our Kurdish allies, the Administration has yet to tell the American people what happens to the Kurds - who fought so hard for us - when we leave.
Is there a plan to protect our allies post withdrawal?
* Ensures ISIS comeback. * Forces Kurds to align with Assad and Iran. * Destroys Turkey’s relationship with U.S. Congress. * Will be a stain on America’s honor for abandoning the Kurds.
No matter what President Trump is saying about his decision, it is EXACTLY what President Obama did in Iraq with even more disastrous consequences for our national security.
Unlike President Obama, I hope President Trump will reassess and take sound military advice.

Are there any intellectually competent things you are able to do, other than posting Tw***er screen grabs?
Pulling U.S. forces out of Syria? Great! Afghanistan next. This BS has gone on long enough.

“Much as I hate to say it, this morning’s hearing was a disaster,” Laurence Tribe, the Harvard law professor who has argued that the House should pursue impeachment, wrote on Twitter. “Far from breathing life into his damning report, the tired Robert Mueller sucked the life out of it. The effort to save democracy and the rule of law from this lawless president has been set back, not advanced.”
Did Peter Baker make up this quote? Or did he just report the facts?
Yes, Peter Baker, a great journalist, just reported the facts.
I don't see what davidm's complaining about. Kamilah is just doing great journalism.
I really like her laugh. And of course, DJTJ, a person with no sense of humour and no taste, would dislike her laugh. Sen. Harris has a very pleasant voice and her laugh is no exception.
Also, this:
Elizabeth Warren is now running FB ads with a false statement about Mark Zuckerberg and FB endorsing Trump for president, to draw attention to FB's controversial policy allowing politicians to make false statements in ads. https://t.co/hulwrb3cc3pic.twitter.com/6zsPwXESKR
Which is smart on her part - if F******k refuses to run this ad, they probably open themselves up to a lawsuit or something. She scares the crap out of Zuckerberg for good reason; she's certainly making all the right enemies.
ETA: We need to fire the writers; this is getting too contrived:
Harbath is Facebook’s head of global elections policy. She literally worked for Rudy Giuliani. I can't make this up. pic.twitter.com/wQ1mf9CCY8
