What more is there to say, really? Are ALL of the sources lying? Did they ALL misinterpret the President's words and/or quid pro quo as merely normal diplomacy? Were they ALL loyalists who have turned sinister Never-Trumpers and are now coordinating to bring him down by whatever means necessary and should be discredited as such?
Unlike some of those who abandoned this thread like . . . well, like bandwagoning football fans realizing their team was headed for a plunge down the table . . . I think I'm done because there's really nothing left to say. The evidence is clear and overwhelming and whether he is or isn't impeached comes down to the percentage of those in the Senate who either find moral courage or don't and choose to vote lockstep with the cold political reality of the moment. That might be to support him, or it might be to jump off the sinking ship. That could change, and very fast. We'll see.
As with Watergate, once the hearings were conducted in a public setting, the entire story becomes a matter of record, and there's no longer new shit to uncover because it uncovers itself in chambers on TV. Whatever new shit is uncovered is already piled on top of the old shit, which is already enough shit to impeach and remove in five seconds flat were the vote a secret one IMO.
This thread really has become totally one-sided because the evidence is. As such, there's not a lot of nuance to add. I hope our elected representatives do the right thing, and I'm not sure how much confidence to have in them that they will. In the meantime, if they don't, you can bet your ass I will next November.
It's time to pull a Dax and retire then. I'm out. Hopefully the next time I come back it's to celebrate the removal of this lying narcissistic amoral fucking idiot lazy corpulent monumental fraud of a President and the elevation of someone else who under no logical scenario can I see being worse.
Cheers.
