Michael Cohen testifies on Capitol Hill (over)
- Thread starter Taki
- Start date
News media and liberals should have been shutting down people like Meadows then. Instead we ignored them and let them win elections to end up here. Meadows and bigots like him shouldn't have a chance in a functioning democratic union based on fact and empathy and actual interest in bettering the American public yet here we are.
Freshman Dems asked some excellent questions, Meadows threw a hissy fit over his prop stunt being called out, and Cummings gave a super speech an actor will probably win an award for doing in 15 years.
You forgot:
YOU WANT TO GET BOOK DEALS!? AND MOVIE DEALS!?
YOU WERE HIS LAWYER FOR 10 YEARS, YOU COULD'VE QUIT AT ANY TIME
WHAT WAS IN THE BOX, WHERE IS THE BOX, WHY DON'T THE FEDS HAVE THE BOX
It basically boiled down to, "So we need to subpoena Weisselberg to really get to the bottom of Trump's crimes. Got it."
That Twitch stream commentary had me in stitches. It really elevates the whole experience into some postmodern meta performace art.
"My brother's nephew's cousin's former roomate was Kenyan!"
I ended up sleeping and only catched up now, holy shit that Cummings ending.
Khanna, Gomez, AOC and Pressley were straight fire too.

Mr Jordan, how about using that as evidence of contradiction...
Disagree. America carries a legacy of slavery and broken, institutionalized discrimination, with imbalance of powers. That is its status quo. It is only now just being able to overcome some of these legacies. I didn't even get the right to get married until 3 years ago. Yet it still has terrible problems, and it hasn't earned any referral of being "better" than what is going right now. We are where we are because America is working exactly as it was set up to: racist, fearful, bigoted rhetoric capturing half of America with enough grip to hold hostage most of the power seats in government.
We are not better than this until we change this status quo. I feel like we're getting closer, with things like Tlaib calling out racism and the Democrats focusing on the opportunity at hand to ask insightful questions. The new blood in Congress is purifying some of the entrenched bigotry and ignorance and old money, but I think we have far too much left to do before I consider that we are "better" than the petulance we saw in the chamber today.
I mean, regardless of what happens today, we aren't even at a place where this country can prosecute a sitting president for crimes he committed (the fucking check was on the screen, he committed campaign fraud, period). Until we can prosecute a sitting president for stepping over the laws of the country, I don't think we're "better than this." We have to prove we can be better than this.
The committee will continue to investigate the people and organizations named by Cohen.
Yep. Once again all the things the far right and alt right accused Obama of doing or going to do is being done by Trump. No way Trump steps down after losing in 2020.
As someone who is interested in this, I would say absolutely if you're interested. The back and forth of Cohen and Republicans was amazing.
Especially when someone lays the smackdown on a GOP member and PogChamps are spammed lol
I'd really like to see what Meadows' BBQs look like.
I expect side-eyes from his black niece and nephew.

That's literally their dumbass racist mentality. It's just insane to see these racist fucks in power stay in power for generations after generations.
you can't see my face but i assure you its shocked. that's freedom caucus for you. shamed the patriotism right out of me.
I could've sworn house music was going to start playing during Cumming's final speech. Dude was on point.
I'd like to know too, I missed a bit of Cohen's closing statement.
Wouldn't he be dragged out of the White House by DC Police the moment his term expires?
if on twitch go into the videos tab and click the most recent one

excatly no one knows. we don't know what both did for each other through out their lives for Cummings to be considered him his best friend. so idk why people trying to assume shit or tell him to pick wiser friends
There's literally no chance that he would be able to avoid leaving the Office. He would be removed, by force if need be. Trump has to know that. That bit was basically fear mongering from Cohen on the basis of something completely implausible.
