Is that women to his left, the right side of the screen falling asleep, it sure looks like she is having problems keeping her peepers open.

lol yeah, best seat in the house at one of the most important things likely to happen in her lifetime, and she's nodding off

[Vertigo 7]

lol nah, I think she's looking down at something in her lap. phone or papers or something, no clue.

holy crap. These two are shitting all over Trump's defense. I don't see how the republicans can possibly spin this. I eagerly await their bs attempts.

Very odd hearing a British accent during these hearings...

Make America Great Britain Again.

hmm... given where we are today, maybe being under British rule again wouldn't be so bad =p Well, provided bojo isn't still PM lol

Oh god, don't remind me! D:

Hopefully that will change come December 12th/13th (but that is for another thread!)

Would it be a smooth transition from Trump to Johnson?

[Vertigo 7]

"smooth" and "Trump" are never uttered in the same sentence. So no. But I also couldn't begin to fathom what that transition would even begin to look like lol

I'm running behind.... Hill and Holmes are pretty impressive witnesses.

And I must admit I am mildly irked that we "lost" Hill to the US .

[Vertigo 7]

I'm surprised the republicans aren't trying to subpoena Obama.

If that turns out to be true where does it put / leave Nunes?

[Vertigo 7]

It puts him in the republican party

lol sorry, that was a bit sarcastic. I honestly couldn't guess. Republicans have gone off the deep end since Trump got elected, and trying to predict what they're going to do next is difficult. It could be argued at the time there was no knowledge of criminal activity of Rudy Colludy's goons. But on the other hand, there was a clear agenda on the part of Trump and Rudy and for Nunes to be taking part of that and sit here on this inquiry while knowing full well what Trump wanted before hand really puts a bad spin on his motivations.

Something bubbling up about an FBI agent altering a document that was used to request the FISA warrant on Carter Page?

This is good - Response list for Nixon backers. Some... striking similarities .

lol... substitute a few nouns for currently relevant ones and it's damn near a word for word copy.

So has anyone actually said that Trump or that the US President does not have the right to sack and ambassador or us Envoy. Has anyone actually said he did not have the right to sack Marie Yovanovitch, I can't think on hearing anyone say that he couldn't do such a thing. I have heard or read some asking why he sacked her, as it seemed to be a pretty suspicious move to do, especially while some of Trumps allies mainly one Rudy Giuliani were spreading fictitious stories about her. But Trump keeps on ranting that he has the right to fire her, which I don't think anyone is denying him that right but he keeps on going on about it like they have.

So anyway, he must have been feeling pretty low this morning, as he phoned his defenders Fox and Friends moaned that he had the right to fire her (Marie Yovanovitch) before coming up with the feeble excuse that he did so because, wait for it, she would not hang his picture up in the Embassy, without giving any more details about even where that story came from or evidence to back it up. The Whitehouse keeps shouting out that everything being said at the impeachment inquiry is hearsay, I say what Trump said today is the real hearsay.

I reckon in that small feeble mind of his he thought that this would make him look good and in the right, but to be honest in my mind it makes him look small, pitiful and vain.
