All purpose news and politics thread part v: The quickening

Next up, Matt Gaetz, the answer to the question of "What would it look like if one person was simultaneously Beavis AND Butt-head?"

[BeastieRunner]

This all boils down to the analogy I keep using... that the Republicans were given a s*** hand to play by Trump, and the Democrats have four aces.

The GOP has a long history of never knowing when to fold.

George Zimmerman sues family of Trayvon Martin, publisher, prosecutors for $100 million. What the hell is wrong with this guy?

Gaetz unsuccessfully tried to discredit the witnesses by claiming they all gave money to Democrats' campaigns, which wasn't true in all three cases.

He then tried asking what would be done about Obama having "done wire-tapps" to Trump in 2016, because he's a Kool-Aid drinkin' idjit and forgot that the FBI already debunked that claim, and it's been widely disproven.

The GOP have vlown their load. They have no speakers of renown left today, and the only remaining rebuttal they have is Doug Collins' closing statement. After several Democrats will get to have a run at Trump's crimes with the witnesses.

I’m sure Trump is watching the hearings and cheering on his henchmen, which will be followed by a tweet saying Republicans blasted the sham hearing and won the day, yadda, yadda, yadda.

He probably is... while sulking in a room that all the NATO leaders, even Johnson, hate him and take him as the laughing stock he is.

The Republicans are screaming because Barron Trump's name came up.

Prof. Pamela Karlan: "While the President can name his son Barron, he can't make him a baron."

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell just read Jonathon Turley a list of his quotes from the Clinton impeachment hearings to show what a hypocrite he is...

(Somebody call the cops, we just witnessed a murder)

Repub McClintok asking them how they voted, which is wrong. Nadler said they didn't have to respond.

Repub McClintok asking them how they voted, which is wrong. Nadler said they didn't have to respond.

This was after Andy Biggs tried claiming that Trump ACSHUALLY told Zelensky, "I want you to do AMERICA a favor" on the phone call.

Because that's how it happened. And it's a favor to America to have foreign countries interfere in our democratic process.

Matt Gaetz just responded to someone on Twitter that he's serious with his suggestion that we should be impeaching Obama right now.

F***ing morons.

[Tami]

Trying to watch, but I can't. The Republicans give me a headache.

Trying to watch, but I can't. The Republicans give me a headache.

Arizona GOP Congresswoman Debbie Lesko just tried pretending that Trump meant well because he was trying to find the lost Crowdstrike server in Ukraine.

It's a cloud, not a physical server.

The Republican Party are as effective as a gang of capuchins f***ing a football.

[jetengine]

Next Republican up: Jim Jordan, who bumbled over from the Intelligence committee hearings. Jordan just throws up on himself, and whines about Nancy Pelosi.

Next up for the GOP: Colorado Republican Ken Buck, whose defense of Trump is, no s***, "THESE ARE CORRUPT THINGS OTHER PRESIDENTS DID WITHOUT GETTING IMPEACHED!" Among Buck's list? Claiming "OBAMA LIED ABOUT BENGHAZI!!!"

These... these are some dumb motherf***ers. The conspiracy theories they're floating about Biden aren't sticking, so they're just blurting out other conspiracy theories from the conservative media from the past, like it's going to form a brain-damaged Voltron to defend Trump from trouble. An absolute clown car of f***wits.

Waiting for them to dig up Lincoln doing unconstitutional **** during the Civil War as an excuse.

Also in the news:

George Buck, a GOP candidate in Florida trying to unseat Congressman Charlie Crist just sent out a fundraising letter than calls for Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and AOC to be hanged.

All are women of color, which in no way comes off as calling for a modern day lynching. Nope. Don't know why anyone thinks the Republican Party is now a white nationalist party. *shrugs*
