If the Republicans are going to press the argument that people have a duty to report their knowledge of crimes to the proper authorities, maybe they could find literally anyone other than Jim Jordan to make that case?— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) November 19, 2019
Ambassador Volker—a GOP-requested witness—just testified:➡️Allegations against Vice President Biden are not credible.➡️He now recognizes that the investigations sought by the president were not because of legitimate concerns about corruption, but were for political purposes. pic.twitter.com/tMNMV9GXmB— House Intelligence Committee (@HouseIntelDems) November 19, 2019
On September 8, Volker, Sondland, and Taylor discussed the Trump administration's decision to withhold aid.They didn't discuss anti-corruption reforms.They didn't discuss Ukrainian courts.They discussed the quid pro quo. https://t.co/f7fkI7gpT4— The Moscow Project (@moscow_project) November 20, 2019
"He had to announce the investigations. He didn't actually have to do them, as I understood it." - Sondland.This is key. It was never about corruption. It was about tarring a domestic political opponent.— Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) November 20, 2019
Q: "You understood that Mr. Giuliani spoke for the President, is that correct?"A: "Correct."#DefendOurDemocracy https://t.co/OxICZseR6i— Former Congresswoman Val Demings (@RepValDemings) November 20, 2019
Sondland confirms not only the quid pro quo about the White House meeting, but that the Ukrainians clearly knew that aid was being withheld and were willing to do what it took to free it up. pic.twitter.com/5FuLkKAi2g— The Moscow Project (@moscow_project) November 20, 2019
Sondland’s past texts and statements make clear that until he was forced to testify under oath, he was lying, or at least being selective about the truth, on Trump’s behalf.How many of Trump’s other aides have been lying to the public to protect Trump? Congress should find out.— Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) November 20, 2019
SCHIFF: "My colleagues seem to be under the impression that unless POTUS spoke the words, 'ambassador, I am bribing the Ukrainian president,' that there's no evidence of bribery... they also seem to say, 'well, they got the money.' Yes. They got caught. They got caught." pic.twitter.com/FUQsH7tGu9— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 20, 2019

Actually, he’s just a greedy con man, but the rest is spot on... Please share w/ Trumpers:“Trump is a businessman. We can just pay him money and the problems will be solved,” said a politically connected person in Beijing... “As long as we have money, we can buy him. That’s the reason why we prefer him to Democrats.” https://t.co/xGiaxeay6d— Neera Tanden🌻 (@neeratanden) November 27, 2019

that is why I don’t like them. I mean fine they might get shit done that you want(Republicans). I like that they play to win but they are come meridas. All the things I agree with them on only apply when democrats are in charge then they bitch about it until they win and it’s like Na we can just print money it doesn’t matter. When Obama was in charge OmG we are 4 trillion in the hole!! Our grand children !!! Then they win it’s like tax breaks for everyone!!! ******** the ozone layer !! I want someone in the middle. I don’t care who you ********, get a fking job don’t live off the state, can we agree insurance for all children should be free? I mean fk you after you are 18 if you don’t go to college. You joined the work force and should pay your insurance like all of us do. But a family going bankrupt because the baby they had has a heart problem is super cold and ********ed up. invest in technology and infrastructure. I went to Korea in 2010 and feel that place in 2010 is more advanced then it is here in the US. Why aren’t the utility poles under ground. Any time we have wind or a heavy rain it feels like 1/5th the state of Connecticut loses power. It’s a rich state must be even worse in other states.
