The Ukraine/Bidden stuff is the piece of this that Trumpers thought he could spin into a defense shield. Sooo…The rest of it must be a nightmare.

Dear Nancy, et al, it’s time to get your shit together and do something about this asshole. Either stand for something at the risk of losing, or just give up and admit you don’t got what it takes.

Going down the checklist of giving them every chance to comply, cooperate, reach an accommodation, follow the law and the Constitution …

Before bringing the I-Hammer down.

“If the President is trying to pressure Ukraine into choosing between defending itself from Russian aggression without U.S. assistance or leveraging its judicial system to serve the ends of the Trump campaign, this would represent a staggering abuse of power, a boon to Moscow, and a betrayal of the public trust.”

This is laying out the paper trail for the coming inquiry and for the federal courts.

These demands are not “pitifully weak.”
They’re necessary for public consumption and for lawsuits.

The Trump administration summed up in one 10 second clip. Everything. Trump’s slurred spoken words where he recites white nationalist talking points that he clearly doesn’t understand and, it seems, can barely read. Corporate GOP’s Wilbur Ross asleep. The blonde airhead whom I wouldn’t trust to run a PTA. And the two right wing Christian evangelicals who are watching over their pet project to make sure he doesn’t stray from the white nationalist script. https://twitter.com/HoarseWisperer/status/1176514605994127361?s=20

This is like a Monty Python sketch.

Do we have to do this for each and every issue?

Since it’s in “The Hill” a slavering Reich-Winger mouthpiece, you can safely ignore it.
