"I know that members of this Committee have frequently framed these complicated issues in the form of a simple question: Was there a ‘quid pro quo?’ As I testified previously, with regard to the requested White House call and White House meeting, the answer is yes,"

Sondland chucking everyone under the bus there

B O O M

h8kurdt’s magic bus has blown a flat tire




According to Morgan Ortagus, State Department Spokesperson, just now:

“Gordon Sondland never told Secretary Pompeo that he believed the President was linking aid to investigations of political opponents. Any suggestion to the contrary is flat out false.”

Pence, Perry, and now Pompeo have all denied Sondland’s new evidence-free claim!!!

Ukraine Minister: U.S. envoy Sondland did not link Biden probe to aid

As you watch this grand and glorious exchange, notice how CNN changes its banner on the screen:






h8kurdt’s bus with the flat tire, it’s a school bus......and the school bus carries juveniles

“ Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country—and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did. This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves.

“The unfortunate truth is that Russia was the foreign power that systematically attacked our democratic institutions in 2016. This is the public conclusion of our intelligence agencies, confirmed in bipartisan Congressional reports. It is beyond dispute, even if some of the underlying details must remain classified.

“The impact of the successful 2016 Russian campaign remains evident today. Our nation is being torn apart. Truth is questioned. Our highly professional and expert career foreign service is being undermined.
U.S. support for Ukraine—which continues to face armed Russian aggression—has been politicized.

“The Russian government’s goal is to weaken our country—to diminish America’s global role and to neutralize a perceived U.S. threat to Russian interests. President Putin and the Russian security services aim to counter U.S. foreign policy objectives in Europe, including in Ukraine, where Moscow wishes to reassert political and economic dominance.

“I say this not as an alarmist, but as a realist. I do not think long-term conflict with Russia is either desirable or inevitable. I continue to believe that we need to seek ways of stabilizing our relationship with Moscow even as we counter their efforts to harm us. Right now, Russia’s security services and their proxies have geared up to repeat their interference in the 2020 election. We are running out of time to stop them. In the course of this investigation, I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests.”

Do believe Thursday was the final day of hearing people share their thoughts, opinions and things they presumed to be true. No more having to hear bureaucrats expound upon THEIR policy disgorgements with President Donald Trump.

No more having to hear the “note taker” fumble on about NOT taking any notes regarding parts of a conversation he overheard from an adjacent room so many months ago.

The policy dispute masquerading as the impeachment inquiry implodes with:

hearsay + perception + I presume + my understanding was = impeachment???


ZERO + ZERO + ZERO = ZERO FACTS!!!



To the best of my knowledge, no other “witnesses” have been subpoenaed or asked to testify before the impeachment inquiry. I doubt the DEMS want additional hearsay testimony that could only conflict with the hearsay testimony provided earlier in the inquiry.

The House and Senate have left town on Thanksgiving vacation:

Meanwhile......the final report will be written and presented to the judiciary sometime after the first of December......probably read by Shifty Schiff.

lmfao @ putin’s lackey

you guys know that when Trump is not re-elected he will seek to invalidate the election and eventually set himself up as President-for-Life, right?

Nostradamus predicted it. I hope I am kidding

Sadly I'm not sure he won't be re-elected by natural means.

The war criminal pardons are the worst thing I've seen in a very long time.

There is also just that slight issue of the transcript the White House released of him saying to Zelensky to work with Giuliani. Whoops a daisy!:rolleyes:

Trump Is Spurring Turnout All Right, Almost Always To The Detriment Of Republicans
In every election cycle since Donald Trump became president, turnout has soared across the board and almost always to the detriment of Republicans.

"And 2020 will almost surely be another record-setting year in terms of turnout. According to Brookings, the average turnout gain from a midterm to the next general election is 18 points. Since turnout in 2018 was 50%, an "average gain from 2018 to 2020 would put turnout near 70%, a level we haven’t seen in more than a century."
