Chris Mathews: "... the safe bet was to vote for the Iraq war, the safe bet is to not to impeach" (sic)


I 100% with Mathews on this in context similar to the Iraq war vote which was safe but stupid ... the vote not to impeach is safe but stupid.

I'm not into safe but stupid, been that and got a trillion dollars worth of debt and 10s of thousands of dead people for it.


OK, they should outline what we need to do next so we're crossing T's and dotting I's but lets include impeachment at the end.



There's no way America should accept the Russians helping Donald Trump win ... ANOTHER ... American election.


What say you?

1. Totally agree with Tweety

It was almost like he was trying to slap Rep. Khanna in the face and say wake up!

[uponit7771]

4. +1, lol ... I thought he was going to do just that ... and he asked a good question; what's going to

... be new in 3 - 6 months.

[spanone]

14. we need the unredacted Mueller report before we would begin, they will stall all they can

[uponit7771]

15. Yes, this is true ... that's where Baghdad Barr will stall the most

[spanone]

17. We'll see. We really do need to impeach. I can't imagine a better candidate than trump...

[uponit7771]

18. +1

2. Me too, he is really pushing it tonight, frustrated with the safe path. n/t

[Dennis Donovan]

3. Televise the committee meetings in prime time, like they did with Watergate...

...and then dare the Republicans to support him.

[uponit7771]

8. The committee meetings are a joke, 5 min round robins where the Trump sycophant just sticks ...

... their middle finger up at the dems for 5 mins.

My understanding is with impeachment hearings the witness's are under oath and under subpoana to speak so their shitfaced attitude.

[Trumpocalypse]

20. Witnesses are under oath in all

Congressional hearings.

[WheelWalker]

5. Tweety is correct. I have full confidence in Pelosi.

[uponit7771]

9. I think Mathews means the opposite of his statement meaning the safe bet was the stupid bet

... when it came to the Iraq war and the same thing here.

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. One of the VERY few times that I agree with Tweety.

He was LOCK STEP with monkeyboy bush on the Iraq war, but I think he senses just how bad this fake pResident really is.

[WheelWalker]

13. That's how I read it, as well.

Safe = Stupid.

[samplegirl]

6. Nobody will stop them

either!

[LisaM]

7. I wish people would quit saying "voted FOR the Iraq war".

They actually voted to give Bush authority based on false information he fed them; not that same thing, even though it's somehow managed to get twisted around that way......

[stillcool]

10. yuck to anything Tweety says..

he loves a dog & pony show. Does he say how the Republicans will obstruct the impeachment hearings? How is all that Lindsay Graham high drama handled? And, what happens when it gets to the Senate? And, what is most likely to result in criminal charges. And, what about the Justice Department, and the courts? Can any of those bodies of government be trusted to do the right thing...like ..follow the law? I don't care what Congress decides, but I sure hope they take their time, and weigh all their options. Especially when they can't possibly know all the material they have to deal with. Tweety sucks. I bet though, that if Republicans get caught up in the investigations they will want impeachment hearings in a heart beat.

[uponit7771]

11. I think he's saying what you're saying in a backwards way. The Iraq vote was stupid but safe so is

... the choosing not to impeach. stupid but not safe.

[Trumpocalypse]

16. Tweety supported the Clinton impeachment

He also supported Bush in 2000 and the Iraq war.

He has no credibility.

[sinkingfeeling]

19. Don't listen to Mathews and couldn't pick him out of a line up, but

2 wrongs don't make a right.

[uponit7771]

21. Tweety was saying the opposite; the stupid bet with Iraq was the safe bet and it the same way

... now.

It's stupid to try to be safe and not vote for impeachment

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Both a vote for the Iraq invasion and a vote to not impeach

are morally, and IMO, legally wrong.

[uponit7771]

23. +1
