That's pretty much where I am.

I also wonder how much of this democratic show is self defense against the investigation reports that are rumored to be coming down for release. If that is true, there will be more backlash come '20 than merely against the faux impeachment.

I also think there is more to that than people think. If it weren't for this dog and pony show, that is the only remaining news at hand. Crafty, but not well devised. Schiff wasn't smart enough to pull it off. And Pelosi rode him in on a wet blanket.

I asked first. Post a name or admit you're simply making up lies. Seems this is way too tough for you

What I removed was a reference to you continuing to earn your jussie moniker. Of course since then you've doubled down with your poor little victim story.

Hannity's Conservative Sparkle Rainbow Pony Hour is very real and actual news. Totally well-sourced.

Don't let them tell you otherwise.

Besides, the Deep State's Day of Reckoning #17 will be the death knell for the Deep State, because the Deep State is a totally real thing. The Deep State is not a phrase work-shopped by Fox programmers to make you feel anxiety about the Deep State so you ask your doctor about all the pills they are hocking during the commercial break that might help with your deep state of fear.

I myself, can't wait to see them go down (and of course to just actually see them).

According to NYT the deep state are heroes

Opinion | They Are Not the Resistance. They Are Not a Cabal. They Are Public Servants.

They Are Not the Resistance. They Are Not a Cabal. They Are Public Servants.
By Michelle Cottle
Oct. 20, 2019
President Trump is right: The deep state is alive and well. But it is not the sinister, antidemocratic cabal of his fever dreams. It is, rather, a collection of patriotic public servants — career diplomats, scientists, intelligence officers and others — who, from within the bowels of this corrupt and corrupting administration, have somehow remembered that their duty is to protect the interests, not of a particular leader, but of the American people.
Fiona Hill, Michael McKinley and the whistle-blower who effectively initiated the impeachment investigation — when these folks saw something suspicious, they said something. Their aim was not to bring down Mr. Trump out of personal or political animus but to rescue the Republic from his excesses. Those who refuse to silently indulge this president’s worst impulses qualify as heroes — and deserve our gratitude.
Throughout the Trump presidency, there has been a trickle of fed-up individuals willing to step up and protest the administration’s war on science, expertise and facts.
In July, Rod Schoonover left his job as an analyst for the State Department after the administration blocked the submission to Congress of his report on the national security implications of climate change.
In July 2017, Joel Clement, formerly the director of the Office of Policy Analysis at the Interior Department, filed a whistle-blower complaint alleging that the administration had reassigned him to an accounting position in retaliation for publicly speaking out on the potential dangers of climate change to Alaska Native communities.
In August, Lewis Ziska, a veteran plant physiologist with the Agriculture Department, quit in protest over the administration’s efforts to bury his findings about the negative impact of rising levels of carbon dioxide on the nutrient content of rice. “You get the sense that things have changed, that this is not a place for you to be exploring things that don’t agree with someone’s political views,” Mr. Ziska told Politico at the time. “That’s so sad. I can’t even begin to tell you how sad that is.”
With an impeachment inquiry underway in the House, the risks of breaking ranks with the president are higher than ever. Mr. Trump prides himself on punching back against perceived enemies, publicly suggesting that “spies” and “traitors” and people who turn “rat” deserve to have their lives and their families destroyed. Small wonder that few congressional Republicans have dared express even gentle concern over Mr. Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior.
But still the patriots come. Top of the list, of course, is the still-anonymous whistle-blower who touched off the impeachment drama by registering his concerns about Mr. Trump’s clandestine effort to pressure Ukraine into conducting investigations that would benefit his re-election campaign. The concerns enumerated in the complaint have since been verified and magnified by multiple administration insiders, despite the White House’s stonewalling mandate.
On Monday, Congress heard from Ms. Hill, the former top national security adviser on Russia and Europe, who detailed how Mr. Trump had done an end run around his own national security team, putting Ukraine policy in the hands of unqualified dilettantes like Gordon Sondland, whose $1 million donation to the Trump inaugural basically bought him the title of ambassador to the European Union, and Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer and favorite henchman.
On Wednesday, Mr. McKinley, a top adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo until this month, told Congress that he’d resigned in frustration over the administration’s disparaging and shunting aside career diplomats, as well as its using ambassadors overseas to advance the president’s re-election aims. (He put it more diplomatically, as one would expect.)
A week and a half ago, Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, testified that Mr. Trump prematurely recalled her in May, allegedly as a result of a whisper campaign by Mr. Giuliani and some of his associates, two of whom were arrested Oct. 9 on federal charges of violating campaign finance laws. “I do not know Mr. Giuliani’s motives for attacking me,” Ms. Yovanovitch told lawmakers. “But individuals who have been named in the press as contacts of Mr. Giuliani may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.”
Presumably, Ms. Yovanovitch, a veteran diplomat and actual expert on Ukraine, had also proved an annoying hindrance to Mr. Giuliani pursuing his shadow agenda.
Right on cue, Mr. Trump’s lackeys are responding to such breaches of fealty by going on the attack. In a media briefing on Thursday, the White House acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, dismissed the witnesses who had spoken to impeachment investigators: “What you are seeing now, I believe, is a group of mostly career bureaucrats who are saying, ‘You know what, I don’t like President Trump’s politics, so I’m going to participate in this witch hunt.’”
That may be what Mr. Mulvaney hears when he listens to these men and women. But many, many others will hear veteran public servants appalled by an administration that continues to subvert the public interest to the whims of a president who has mistaken himself for a king.
This is Mr. Trump’s deep state. For the sake of the nation, the American public should be clamoring for more patriots to join the conspiracy.
An earlier version of this editorial misstated when Joel Clement, an Interior Department official, filed a whistle-blower complaint. It was July 2017, not July of this year.

What I removed was a reference to you continuing to earn your jussie moniker. Of course since then you've doubled down with your poor little victim story. Your posts were removed because of the vulgar words. No other reason and that was explained to you. If you have any other questions you know how to get them answered

Republican members of the Intelligence committee were already in the hearing when their colleagues came in, just as Democrats were in the multitudes of closed Benghazi hearings held in the SCIF.

Not as cool as making things up, though.

Yes, yes. Sure they were.

Every committee is made up of members from both parties. I believe the majority party has 1 more member on each committee. All committee members are allotted time to ask questions.

No. Thats why its not an actual "impeachment inquiry". That term was used to dupe the sheeple. Impeachment anything doesn't happen behind closed partisian doors. Its just another con job from "I have proof of collusion" Schiff.

Who’s the GOP ranking member? Is it Nunes?

Where is he? Is he inside the room or not?

When people continue to post lies I'm going to say something. When they won't back then up they deserve to be ridiculed

Of course you completely forget you called me multiple names today. You don't get the high road

Can you explain why Jewish folks in America are overwhelmingly reliable supporters of an anti-Semitic party? 70% in 2013 but I've seen some more recent polls over 80. Pew is a pretty ironclad data source with large sample sizes.

What is Trump doing to turn this around?

Keep reading, listening to and watching the trusted media. They’d never lie to you. They’d never try to sway public opinion.

Its hilarious and rather sad that people think this entire fake "impeachment inquiry" will amount to anything. Its literally like they have zero understanding of politics (not shocking) and history (double not shocking).

There is no real other way to say this other than NOTHING will happen to Trump. The senate conducts the trial right? How many Republicans have to switch sides to convict?

LOL.
