Maybe we should just send Myles Garrett after Trump
He can start with your Representatives. How about knocking some sense into them?

Rough day for the dems! What a sham and a farce. Volker and Morrison pretty much shut this false narrative down.
and indeed there is a standout congresswoman from NY and it’s not (nor will it ever be AOC).

Did you get your notes from Fox and Trump's Twitter account again? Because what you said is not what happened. Aside from Volker, the other non-politically-appointed witnesses said Trump's comments were inappropriate (which is why they raised their concerns with their superiors) and confirmed that there was a clear quid pro quo of arms for Ukraine in return for an investigation into Biden. As have pretty much all the witnesses before them. And Volker had to revise his testimony after the false statements he made the first time were called out by several others. Vindman's testimony was especially devastating.

I guess you've stepped up from being a moron to a troll.
I’m still holding out hope the walrus will testify. He has the Fox News cred actually to do some damage. But if he turns out to be the hero of this...

Please enlighten us with how Sondland’s testimony today proves there was no quid pro quo.......

Nice to see Sondland’s testimony this morning.
Reminder: As of this moment, Sondland still works in the Trump administration.

Pretty brutal testimony for the trumpistas this morning. Looking forward to what Devin (Moo) Nunes and Jim (Gym) Jordan pull out of their wazoos to address this. Pretty sure someone on the R side of the committee is thinking of pulling the fire alarm.

Witness tampering.
Oh, he’ll do it despite his lawyers telling him he can’t.
Nappie, how's Fox State News spinning this this morning? Poor Sondland, gave the racist in chief money, thought it would be fun to be an ambassador, and then today was forced to tell the truth or be shown to have committed perjury. Poor Perry Mason Jr.--Steve Castor--he's trying to dig this out but he's getting nowhere.
And Rudy, better get yourself a real good lawyer--you're about to be thrown under the bus by the Under-the-bus-thrower in chief.
Sounds like Sondland is in a bit of a hurry to get out of Dodge and across the pond.

What a joke. The former Republican Party is sure a party that respects women. Of course here's the shocking statistics:
Total Senate | 100 (45D, 53R, 2I) |
Women | 25 (17D, 8R) |
Total House | 435 (235D, 199R) |
Women | 102 (89D, 13R), |
And for sure let's not look at the pathetic stats for African Americans, Latinos, and people of color.
It truly is amazing how much of a dummy Putin’s Bitch is.......

I swear to Jesus (and I’m Jewish) if these assholes spend tonight arguing over niche far-left woke Twitter issues rather than coming together and taking it to Trump and the Republicans, *I* will run for President. This is a layup, guys. Don’t fuck it up.

Yeah, he seems to opposite kind of guy from his late brother Beau.
But nothing to do with Hunter has anything to do with Trump or his Joe's campaign, much less Trump's now clear quid pro quo of a meeting for the new Ukrainian President in return for an investigation into Hunter and by extension, Joe. After Sondland's testimony yesterday and Hill's testimony previously and today, there can be no question that Trump was trying to trade US support for Ukraine's fragile democracy for his own personal political advantage. Which, given his track record of always doing what is best for him rather than what is best for America, surprises no one who isn't a to-the-death Trumpublican loyalist.

No argument that Hunter Biden is a deeply flawed individual. That said, I can think of more egregious examples of morally deficient people holding positions that they are not qualified for.

Sundland gives $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund. Gets to be Ambassador to the EU. That's a quid pro quo.
I'd like to be ambassador to France. I wonder what that would cost me. (My law school classmate, Jamie McCourt, is the current ambassador to France. She paid big bucks for that position. She's way cuter than I am though).

sorry to have missed you. I'm not quite as wealthy as Jamie, as she got more than $100 million when she split up with her husband for her piece of the LA Dodgers.

I saw that when I googled her. But her ex got the Dodgers and nearly $2billion when he sold them. Perhaps you should have been her divorce lawyer!
A court ruled that she was entitled to 50% of the Dodgers. Soon thereafter, the divorce case was settled and she got about $130 million. A few months later, the Dodgers were sold for $2 Billion (as you reported). Hence, I'd rather be the lawyer representing her in the malpractice case against her divorce lawyer.

Irwin, without debate the entire State Department testifying the past couple of weeks clearly are the finest examples of what America has to offer to the world. To say they put our congress and God knows what the Orange Dung and his band of fluffers to shame would be an understatement.
Intelligent people that aren’t racist like Napa and his hero the POS in the White House would agree with your assessment of what immigrants have to offer.
