Morning Reads – Thursday, December 19, 2019
Oh the irony. It’s the anniversary (21 years) of when President Bill Clinton was impeached on two charges of perjury and obstruction of justice by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Second the approval of the DDS firings and the dumping of the “Puerto Rican Interview Guide”. Caban Gonzalez deserves some nice change when his suit is settled. At least he can expect to get his SS card back.
The GOP claims the impeachment process has been a rushed along sham. Perhaps it’s time to let the articles remain in the House until the courts weigh in on various cases before them that would affect Senate proceedings.
Most striking fact in this whole charade is that you and your ilk do not even realize how hilarious this gambit of yours is.
^Meaningless comment.
I think you meant to say “ meaningless impeachment’. Apparently not even worth prosecuting.
No, I called it meaningless because it had no substance-i.e. no reference or incorporation of any fact or policy. Just an emotional dig, with an over-generalization of people for bad measure.
At least in this most recent comment you raise an argument which incorporates a present state of fact.
But I personally couldn’t tell you if the Articles will be passed to Senate or not, or whether it even matters at this point. But I do think that everybody- all Reps- took this procedure very seriously, and with gravamen, and just blowing it off as a joke is just a vapid defense mechanism.
Ridiculous comment. But typical.
Ppl are always telling me how silly I am.
Upholding Constitutional responsibility is funny to you. Is that because you forgot to laugh when national Republicans made fiscal conservatism a joke?
Anyone else notice Trump lashing Rep Dingell because didn’t produce the quid pro quo for deigning to give her husband, the longest serving member of Congress ever, government respect when he died?
It’s not a pattern. It’s coincidence as every Republican will tell you. There’s no documentation that a favor was expected, and you can’t know with absolute certainty what Trump was thinking while publicly questioning whether he husband was in hell for it to Republican cheers.

It’s worth noting that sycophants like Doug Collins refer to Trump as a gentleman.
Trump’s six page letter to Pelosi is one of the ages. The GaGOP can stand proud.

Here’s an annotated version courtesy of Annenberg Public Policy Center.

Two-thirds of the letter’s 27 paragraph have annotations, but Trump fully covered the bases by averaging 1.5 annotations in the 18 paragraphs with annotations.
Stable genius Trump thinks he’s channeling Alan Dershowitz. And who will say different to him. Certainly no Trump supporters and virtually no elected Republicans at any level or those beholden to the party.
