We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
If our democracy means anything then this needs to take place. Checks and balances.
The gif of the dude opening the fridge, rubbing his hands only to be disappointed? That's gonna be these proceedings. Hopefully it has a positive effect on 2020 though.
I don't think so, the cultural context today is completely different. People were stanning for Nixon but not to the extent people, almost to a militaristic extent, stan for trump. The stakes are higher in terms of it being seen as a culture war between left and right.
Based on what? We know the Senate won't do shit. If you're expecting Trump to be removed, then yes you will be disappointed.
Agreed. If he gets away with this, it will only enable more abuse of power to muddy the political waters with even more brazen lies and conspiracies. All he would need to do is get some vulnerable or co-conspiritor country to make up allegations against his presidential competitor to dissuade people from voting at all. In the era of deep fakes, so much is possible.
Yep. Also, we no longer have a guarantee of a fair election to kick him out. The dude is asking for help from any hostile foreign entity and we now know he's also extorting other countries for help. Plus McConnell is refusing to bring any election security bills to the floor for a vote. Kicking him out next year is anything but a guarantee.
I fully believe that Taylor is going to bring the receipts today. Goldman and Costor have been prepping for this for a while and it'll be a good show, I hope.
So, what is the structure that will be used for the open hearings?
45 minutes to each side in blocks, questioning can be handed over to lawyers rather than the reps themselves. Hopefully we'll see less grandstanding due to this.
I think this is the biggest point. You can't let slide the very things that undermine a democratic process.
He will release the transcript of the first phone call he had with the President of Ukraine. Of course it will fail.
They don't believe in science so they have Conspiracy FairsThe Republicans brought some props. lol
is it possible for any loony MAGA protesters to storm the room? stuff like that happens in other countries, hopefully there's enough security.
i'm suddenly reminded of some nazi sieg heiling in our parliament a few years ago here in Finland... ughhh

I sincerly hope you're planning on posting this at least two more times.
Very cool.
I await the tsunami of evidence reaffirming what people already know (because they admitted it and we we've seen it with our eyes) while Trump and the GOP tries to run interference and make a mockery of the entire process. I expect nearly unheard of levels of fuckery and bullshit from them to try and offset this. It should be something for the ages.
Banana Republics usually have the decency to have good weather at least.

Manu Raju @mkrajuSchiff says how proceedings unfold will impact the "the future of the presidency itself" and what is the appropriate conduct of the commander-in-chief. He then details the role of Giuliani, the withholding of aid and denying a meeting with Zelensky as Trump sought probes
Schiff: "Some have argued in the President's defense that the aid was ultimately released. That is true. But only after Congress began an investigation; only after the President's lawyers learned of a whistleblower complaint; and only after" lawmakers asked questions

Eli Stokols @EliStokolsSchiff: "The facts in the present inquiry are not seriously contested."
Schiff pre-butting the WH's "the money was eventually released" defense:
"A scheme to condition official acts or taxpayer funding to obtain a personal political benefit does not become less odious because it is discovered before it is fully consummated."
