The only thing that has changed is the rhetoric & the hype.

We're a few days in. A bit early to be crying foul, don't you think?
This is just one more instance of right wing spin and water muddying.
… at the end of the day, there will likely be more than a few, but probably not enough to convict. It really is the party of Trump.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 2:10 pmRight wing flailing, while nary a word of rebuke for Trump re “spies”, “treason “, “civil war”.jhu72 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 1:46 pmThere is no constitutional requirement that the House take any vote prior to their vote to impeach based on a written Articles of Impeachment.a fan wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 1:28 pmIf you want to use this as your example, the writer here is intentionally ignoring that 1974 is a full year AFTER initial work on the Watergate break in.old salt wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 1:17 pm Cut to 1974, when Democrats moved against Richard Nixon.

Thankfully we’re seeing a few good folks from the GOP step up, “repugnant “.
But not our friends on this thread. Too busy spewing Trumpist spin.
The Perfect Call.
As did I. Looked up how Watergate was handled for you.
Each of the previous impeachments, during our life times, have all had different facts and circumstances.a fan wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2019 4:23 pmAs did I. Looked up how Watergate was handled for you.
Congress is in recess. Let's see how Pelosi handles this. Give her a little rope.
That said, OF COURSE there's going to be political theater surrounding all this. And yes, a lot of it is annoying.
Because the WB is probably Schiff.

The left is tripping all over themselves, again. As soon as Trump de-classified his call, Schiff et al. took a big swallow and said SumBeotch. Trump Team solving the scooby-doo mystery crime of the left will end the same way as the show did each Saturday....We would have gotten away with it if it weren't for the meddling kids" (Brennan is the doer and likely started the entire left charade. ... that is a lock).
