    The Never Trumper Republican crowd is not on board. They number 1% of the current Republican Party, and 0% of the current Republican Party platform.

Going to be interesting to see the overall reporting on this. If it's like today's where they equated the Republican and Democratic memo's from last night as equivalent and competing narratives I am not hopeful.
      Does it really matter what anyone says? They could stand up and recite nursery rhymes and the spin drs will say what ever the talking points are. More fascinating to look at international coverage. Less spin and more incredulousness at the spin that is occuring

        Yes. We have to give "this" equal time.

          Well, if you are drinking Koolaid you don't care what is actually said. You are going to be told what you are hearing. No matter how compelling anything being said is they will not hear it but will hear the filtered coverage. This goes for either side. I used to listen to the pressers and then listen to the coverage from both sides after. I couldn't even recognize what they said they heard

            And for the most part they are using talking heads to refute things. So far the witnesses are handling themselves. If you are listening to the actual testimony the GOP is trying to claim that the blackmail wasn't successful so it didn't happen. Totally ignoring that the blackmail failed because someone outed it in the press even though the previous testimony had stated that. Great soundbites. Esp when you know it will be cherry picked. They don't need to acknowledge any of the things being refuted.

                It's interesting because apparently "attempted" has been removed from our criminal statutes. Based on the logic of the defense you can "attempt" to do anything you want and as long as you fail at it you are in the clear. Thus, if you take a gun shot at someone on fifth avenue in New York tonight and you miss? You're free and clear. If you have power over someone and you attempt to extort something from them, and you fail, for whatever reason, you are free and clear. If you attempt to rob a bank and fail (get caught in the act by the security at the bank for example) you are free and clear.

                The mass erosion of the rule of law by this DOJ since Trump has taken over is staggering.

                But, let's clarify the above. You are only free and clear of those "attempts" if you are the President of the United States and/or you are rich. If you are a poor person of color you are going to go to jail for a very very very long time.

                      SCOTUS isn't "lost" for more than at most ten more years as long as we win elections from here on out.

                      86 L Ginsburg*
                      81 L Breyer
                      71 C Thomas
                      69 C Alito
                      65 L Sotomayor*
                      64 C Roberts
                      59 L Kagan*
                      54 C Drunky McRapist
                      52 C Gorsuch

                      * Chicks live longer.

                      Obviously, we have to win the Presidency and Senate in 2020, and let RBG and Breyer retire. We should replace them with women in their 50s. Make them Asian women and get the double asterisk. I'd ask Soto to take one for the team, too. Replace her with a Latina in her 30s.



                      Then it's either wait for Alito to have an aneurysm and Thomas to have an auto-erotic asphyxiation accident, add 4 justices to make up for Dump's stolen election, or add 2, impeach Drunky, and put the chick he tried to rape in that seat.

                      With a straight shot sweep of the White House and Cap Hill we can have the Court back in time for the 2021-22 term. Then it's just a matter of getting cert on cases to overturn McCutcheon and Citizens United, and cases to make racial gerrrymandering illegal, and it's over -- the Nazis won't win another national election until they stop being racist which means Scooby will die a very happy and fulfilled man.
                      You're assuming a Democratic president will appoint a liberal justice. The last Democrat named a guy who ruled against habeus corpus.

                        I'm assuming a Democratic president with a Democratic Senate will nominate and confirm liberal justices, yes. Liberal enough to stop voter suppression and corporate money in our elections. And that starts us on the return to democracy in the US.

                          ....in a desperate attempt to work with Republicans. Something, most of the current Democrats running for President are insisting they can do.

                            Dems are doing a great job of using their first 30 seconds to a minute shutting down what Rs are taking 5 minutes to get across.

                              The dump defense team is probably telling Rs that if they get dump they will have enough to get Pence too, leaving Beelzebub with the key to the door.
