I wonder what the tyrannical minority thinks of that. Was that a leftist hoax too?

clearly posted by a buffoon who hasn't seen or heard any of the videos....but gee wilikers, it's nice to see someone stepping up to fill the void left by hawkeye, and KG as our resident sufferer of TDS ....and you're equally illiterate in economics, so bonus!!


Are you denying that it happened? Jesus.

I thought you'd be here creating a false equivalence between members of the public thrown Trump's chant back at him given that he is an actual criminal who probably should be locked up and Donald Trump encouraging his followers to lock up his political opposition. Missed opportunity, I guess.

This uploaded video says it all really. Wait for the end and see the contrast from claps to Boos: https://Twitter.com/GabeLacques/status/ ... 66017?s=20

And then "Lock him up." https://Twitter.com/tamiappleseed/statu ... 34528?s=20

Of course FOX & Friends edited out the booing.

The Veterans for Impeachment sign behind home plate was a nice touch: https://Twitter.com/abeaujon/status/118 ... 14880?s=20

What? Lol. Of course. That could explain subgenius's cocky post when there were tons of videos of it out almost the moment it happened.

Bill Barr is using the Democrat's explicit comments on a narrow impeachment investigation to argue on appeal against the release of Mueller investigation grand jury materials to Congress. All part of Pelosi's shrewd plan to needlessly hand that argument over, no doubt.

Of course, this could be easily be changed in the coming impeachment vote to snuff out that argument. We can then praise Pelosi for adopting EA's crazy, radical view that Trump's extensive malfeasance shouldn't be artificially made off limits.

Fantastic. I don't know what I expected.

I gotta say, watching the exact moment his narcissist heart breaks in two was satisfying. I don't know what he expected.

Good ol’ Fox News ... making lolcows out of its audience since 1996.

Let's see. The argument is that waiting for the right case and focusing on it appears very effective in overcoming the public concern that impeachment is just another example of partisan politics. And it has been. That seems to not be enough for some people like yourself. But it isn't lost on me that you have ran after all kinds of partisan issues, been wrong, reframed and assert the issue is not the details in front of us but some big picture war against evil, etc., etc. The Kavanaugh testimony, the Covington kids, do you ever back up and accept you jumped too far, too fast? I haven't seen it. And this seems to be the same deal all over again. Pelosi and the House Democrat leadership held off on pursuing impeachment but when the Ukraine scandal broke they pursued it, making it clear it was out of necessity regardless of the politics. I would call it shrewd. Where it goes, how it plays out is to be seen. But the wait and let it come to them approach worked. So. Good that they are the ones in office and not you it seems.

Every once in a while, someone quotes a subs reply to one of my posts, and I am overwhelmingly satisfied with my decision to ignore him. Just a pinch of his stupidity goes such a long way.

If being a moron is what he's going for, he is the most successful poster in the history of internets.

Wow, man.

If you think Pelosi waiting for this moment is going to move the people it needs to move, well... I'm not even sure how to respond to that. Quite frankly, given the way I thought impeachment hearings should have started months ago, Pelosi's move screams "political maneuvering" and decidedly not doing it because it was her goddamn constitutional responsibility.
