Yes, the online Sanders supporters are timid, bullied and non-vocal. Thank you for speaking out!
Bernie Sanders fans, r u ok?
We're here for you fam.
If that's all they have at this point, it's either a preview of tomorrow morning, or there really is nothing beyond "head on a pike".
Fox News has been playing impeachment stuff with everything muted. They just do their talking points over it. Its insane
Oh fuck me, I forgot about that javelin-mueller thing.
Jesus christ, he really is Putin's lapdog.
"Please give me a plea deal too!"
"Lose election, get the job. That's how it's supposed to work, right?"
I don't think Republicans could ever entertain the idea of removal because they don't have the wheels of a presidential nomination in order, and if for some impossible scenario that they did convict, I am unsure that they would float VP due to his close association in these events. It's just a political impossibility imo, but I do hope they drag that fucker through the mud.
They really have nothing.
Who tf releases a poll at 5AM?
While the president should be removed I would take at least a majority in the senate for conviction. Basically says he was convicted of the crime but not enough to remove him.
As much bad press for the GOP as possible. The most you can hope for.
I was expecting Adam Schiff to bring in Jack McCoy to get the son of a bitch convicted, but after awhile I realized I was just confused.

"oh man I totally forgot about recording these specific crimes!"
it's like when you are looking back on pics of a avacation with friends and see a forgotten memory:
"oh man I totally forgot about recording these specific crimes!"
You mean plurality, and you won't get either.
They should have made Sam Waterston a manager. I would have watched that shit from start to finish.
Not saying we would get it. And it would be a majority that I am asking for, I am talking 51-49 in favor of removal. But you would need 67 for the actual removal so you can say "Majority favored removal, but did not meet 2/3rd required". And I do believe it is possible with the right set of factors, possible but HIGHly unlikely, I am simply stating what I would wish would happen given the situation that I think should be possible despite everything and it would at least create something other then an outright acquittal.
I'm throwing a guesstimate out there, but it looks like pink and green are 1st and 2nd so I'm guessing that's Biden and Bernie or vice versa, blue is Pete, black is Warren, and yellow is Amy.
It's totally normal for a President to have a private dinner with someone they don't know and talk about firing a US Ambassador. Totally clears the President, thank you.
Please.
Boomers have been shitting posting since Op-Eds were a thing.
Shows they are shook. Even if Trump is inevitably acquitted in the Senate thanks to the GOP traitors, shows that these fucks know their day will come. Unfortunately probably not jail time, but it will still be good knowing Trump and his garbage people will be booed out of any place besides Mar-a-lago for the rest of their lives.
Bernie's biggest weakness being the people he hires or amplifies the voice of? It's my biggest fear of him, at least. I like Bernie enough (and would certainly vote him over Trump) but he's not my first choice because of that.
Schiff is right.
Bill Clinton's biggest mistake wasn't that he lied about a BJ, it's that he didn't abuse the law to deny all subpoena requests and NOT show up to defend himself and undergo questioning.
His biggest mistake was not being as grossly unethical, nefarious, and unprincipled as a Republican leader in office.

There were noticeable chuckles from the gallery when he said that too...but I assume it was from Dems.
The man from Ohio is right.
Special Agent Schiff is right
Igor and Lev, straight up recording everything. These are not the actions of people who thought they were dealing with honest people, but I guess Lev has known the type of person Trump is for decades.
No honor among thieves and goons, I guess.
I wouldn't disagree on that, unfortunately. He does have very amazing people around him but you know what they say about rotten apples.
I'd also say his major weakness is trying to run a General Election campaign during a Primary. He was doing well in that regard until yesterday. I would also say that his middle management staff seems to be very cis straight male (unlike his voters / volunteers) because I don't see how a RT/video like that gets approved otherwise.
Perhaps they do think this will help them in Iowa, being a same-day registration caucus full of white people, and they are hoping everyone forgets about it by Super Tuesday. Still, morals aside, it seems like an unnecessarily big risk that might backfire.
Gray has written "anti-identity politics" crap before and Turner tried to hire a MAGAhat as her COS, and Sirota tried his hardest to get Trump elected last year. I don't think it's just a racial issue, it's the overall mentality of the people he's bringing on where the Dems are enemy #1.
I've come to the conclusion that they failed at building coalitions, and instead treated it as a hostile takeover of the Democratic infrastructure, but then slowly realized they weren't smart enough, or nimble enough to accomplish that either.
My own critique of this theory is that I am not exactly sure these staffers intended to build coalitions, but were just claiming space in the public consciousness to build their own brands while riding Sanders' wave.
This is how they build their brands, by being obnoxious contrarian haters.
It turns out being an obnoxious contrarian hater is a bad way to build an electoral coalition.
The Mueller thing is a much better piece than what I was thinking. Now, if Yov got tied into it somehow...
I take a nap and come back Parma's has an iCloud video of Trump talking for an hour? How?!
...And Pompeo lost his shit?
