If anyone in your life needs a quick recap of what the Ukraine deal is, this is the most succinct description I’ve seen.

Can I ask a favor and someone tag me if I have something to get excited about in the next couple of days that might not end in crushing disappointment? I will try my best. Work is crushing me in its grips lately though so I’m not sways the most timely. Thanks. Q4 is officially starting for me, and I'll be in the Overlook Hotel until the end of the year.

Do I have this right? According to his latest statement we are suppose to believe that a whistleblower heard him say I’m withholding your funds because Europe won’t pay on his phone call and decided to make a formal complaint. Yes because clearly the staff he fucking hired are nothing but partisan hacks that can't get over the fact he won the election.

Decided to risk their career to make a complaint. And then said complaint was deemed credible by the IG. Yes, they really think we are stupid. And some of our fellow citizens are. Hopefully just enough of us remember that’s not how any of this works.

So it sounds like Pelosi (and therefore probably Schiff) are waiting to see if the IG shuts down or obstructs Thursday's HPSCI hearing to determine next steps

The roll to impeachment is fascinating to watch. It appears to be a groundswell, rather than a whipped vote. I think that bodes well for the Democrats in terms of political ramifications.

Hes trying to muddy the waters as much as possible. I'm not the puppet YOU'RE the puppet type crap. This is his fourth? story on this. The WB is partisan, I dont know who they are, but obviously they are a democrat, there was nothing on that call, of course I did this, we aren't financially responsible.
He got away with asking for foreign interference on the sly, now he is openly committing the crime and using the I didnt do it, but if I did do it, it was not wrong because I did it before.

I'm listening to the latest episode of This American Life about a bunch of democrats that voted for Trump and I'm rolling my eyes and screaming silently as the guy is crying "What about us? They don't care about us anymore".

Because it's all about the "illegals and the poor". So basically he supports Trump because Trump cares about white people.

The side by side of Johnson and 45 is terrifying
Oh and now the narrative is the US is the only one paying the Ukraine.

He sent anti-tank weapons? while withholding aid?
And Obama sent pillows and sheets...
he seriously needs to be institutionalized

Oh and 45 just said he told Wilber & Steve all about his decision to withhold aid PRIOR to the conversation.
I'm sure they are really looking forward to the subpoenas that will be forthcoming.

If the House Dems don’t start impeachment proceedings I will lose it.
All those years I had to listen to the fury over 44 and a coffee salute and a fucking tan suit and look at us now.
Do.the.right.thing.

Accordign to WaPo, 45 told reporters that the reason why he withheld funds was because he wanted Germany and others to pay. Cue all Repubs saying "well there you go, folks". He doesnt get to do that. Congress holds the power of the purse.
GEEEEEEZUS people really need to take refresher civics classes. *
*not you the general public
For fucking real. Now the comments are all "see? He was doing this because Ukraine is just corrupt and he was worried! That's what a GOOD PRESIDENT DOES!" And then I'm reminded most of these fucknuts couldn't find Ukraine on a map let alone know what Congress actually does.
