The one thing I need to see is Donald Trump sweating in front of Congress for hours and days.

Can you imagine Donald Trump being grilled by a competent lawyer?

No hope of that. Donald's got a long history of lying, so much so that law firms that used to represent him said they never talked with him one on one, always with at least one other person in a room to corroborate.

Dude even lies to people that are trying to defend him.

His lawyers told the FBI investigation (Mueller's investigation) that Donald won't be testifying because he literally cannot lie, and they don't want him to perjure himself.

You mean he literally can't not lie? I believe that was the explanation given.

Yuppers, my mistake.

This is probably not revelatory or anything, but this hearing really magnifies it - do you guys every think to yourself, when they go to the next member of congress for questioning, that: "yup, here's a republican to ask questions", before he/she even speaks or their name and party is displayed at the bottom of the screen?

There's got to be a drinking game in this.

William Taylor. He's got one of them voices. A career doing the audio version of war lit books or Ken Burn's documentary voice overs is there for the taking if he wants it. I would be transfixed sitting at his feet on the porch on a summer's day while he sat in a rocking chair sipping lemonade, spinning a folksy yarn. I would just melt into that porch, with devoted attention to his words and voice.

Roger Stone guilty on all counts of lying to congress to try and protect Trump. Hah.

'Drain the Swamp', right?

Edit - Meanwhile in the House, Marie Yovanovitch is detailing her being recalled and fired from her post for, she believes, attempting to fight corruption in Ukraine.

Trump is such a narcissistic dumb ass and can't help himself, and tweets out disparaging remarks about Yovanovitch before she begins testifying. What happened to 'I haven't been watching', Donny boy? huh?

Fuckin' A this chump of a prez is an idiot. Thing is, the mouth breathing racist Trump supporters that have been collectively tweeting out 'boring' earlier in the week are are all eating it up and throwing out platitudes like - "when someone is being attacked, they have no choice but to hit back." The fucking current state of things.

[Malankazooie]

"Never Trumpers" kick of this week. Should be boring, cause that is my only talking point, that these hearings are boring.

It is not Swalwell doing the farting. Chris Matthews has some sort of problem where he rips massive farts all the time. I don't know if it's because he just has to or because he doesn't believe in holding them in. There's many videos on YouTube and Twitter of Matthews pooting up storms during interviews for years now.

Gordon fucking Sondland man.

Sondland may have figured out that he's already likely fucked..and has decided to take everyone down with him.

[Tapper]

This is the third time he's under oath, though, and his third version of what has happened. I am pretty sure that the Republicans will try to use that, it's pretty much all they have left at this point, as well as pointing out inconsistencies between Sondland's various (earlier) testimonies and those of Taylor, Kent, Williams, Vindland, Volker and Holmes is likely key to their strategy now.

Or even maybe that he could smell the pyre and decided to try for leniency by spilling the beans.

[Malankazooie]

When he came back with - "I need to amend what I testified after hearing what my colleagues said, I have a clearer memory now".

Can anyone believe what this fuck up says at this point?

[Tapper]

Pence is directly tied to this, now, too.
