Even at that, theyā€™re stupefyingly incompetent.

Only took 'em 2 hours to figure it out.

Iā€™ve been traveling for work the past several days and havenā€™t been able to follow every little bit of impeachment minutiae. I donā€™t even know what point they are trying to make with this little show (setting aside the self-own there). What rules is it that supposedly Schiff has been breaking? From everything Iā€™ve seen heā€™s been running the proceedings very professionally. But I guess that could just be more MSM librul media lies.

As far as I can tell, the intention isnā€™t even to actually accuse him of anything concrete, just keep shouting that heā€™s breaking the rules, because it undermines the legitimacy of the investigation. Reality doesnā€™t matter if all they need is the sound bite. Even if every other outlet calls them out on it, Fox will still be there to parrot the lie for Trumpā€™s base to lap up.

Seems to match what Iā€™ve seen. Iā€™ve had the infuriating experience the past few days of turning on the news in the morning before I take a shower just in time to hear Devin Nunesā€™ opening statements, and the word vomit he has been spewing is as infuriating as it is unlistenable. Itā€™s nothing but attacking the proceedings, parroting talking points, making irrelevant arguments, and complete non sequiturs.

My morning commute lines up with the opening statements, and a little of Shiffā€™s/counselā€™s questioning. I donā€™t think I could handle starting the day with Nunes :scream:. Coming home in the evening, Iā€™ve been hitting the 5 minute back and forth part, and even that has involved a lot of channel hopping when the Rā€™s get too nutty.

The impeachment hearing ground rules differ from the standard House rules for hearings, which allow a 5-minute period for questions, alternating between parties. When itā€™s one personā€™s turn, they can cede some of their time to a colleague of their choosing. In the impeachment hearings, Schiff and the (D) counsel get 45 minutes, Nunes and the (R) counsel get 45 minutes, then each member of the committee gets 5 minutes without being able to pass the baton to someone else.

So, minor procedural differences, but they have to complain about something.

Damn that pesky constitution.

From Breitbartā€™s comments:

It doesnā€™t seem to matter what is said or revealed in these hearings. At the end of each day Schiff wraps it up with statements that defy everything that was said by their witness. He simply repeats the same narrative over and over again. Then you watch the ā€œpunditsā€ on CNN and MSNBC, and they go right along with that narrative. Itā€™s like watching an alternate universe; one in which Trump is guilty and these witnesses are providing ā€œcase closed!ā€ testimony. Totally bizarreā€¦and corrupt on the mediaā€™s part.

ā€œImagine if you will, a world where logic makes sense, where effect follows cause, and facts matter. Brace yourself as you enter that frightening dimension known as ā€¦ The Real World.ā€

I feel that Rod Serling would make a great Intel Chair Head for this timeline.

Or Dan Aykroyd playing Rod Serling.

Whichever.

Trumpā€™s spiritual buddy indicted by Israelā€™s attorney general. Too bad we donā€™t have a law-abiding independent uncorrupted AG:

Iā€™m wondering why people are so trusting of the polling, in general; given how prone this admin is to trying to game or exaggerate everything else.

Especially since the Intelligence Community has stated in no uncertain terms that Russia is already meddling in the 2020 election.

So you donā€™t think people who answer calls from unknown numbers or who still have landlines are a representative slice of American opinion?

Actually, um, okay. I donā€™t either.
