1. Yep. Paul Krugman nails it. As usual.

[Mr. Ected]

2. ...(A)nd should be reported as such

By the so-called mainstream media. Funny that only the FOX crazies think that the news media is liberal in nature and supportive of Democratic principles. That distortion is the basis for the effectiveness of their propaganda.

3. Paul for VP (nt)

6. Paul Krugman, not Rand Paul

Don’t make the same mistake I did rushing to read the whole post this morning.

It is Paul K., right? 😂

4. Trump Lies 100%

Why should we believe him when he says the Ukraine conversation is the complaint/issue?

He’s a liar! EVERYTHING he says is in service of misleading me and you.

So when he says he will tell us the truth now, fuck that. I don’t believe him. I want to see the evidence.

[spanone]

5. Yep.

7. There need be No crime to Impeach a president

The mere appearance of a president blackmailing a country for dirt on his rival, just the impression, is enough to Impeach.

Thanks Traitor Trump for admitting your crimes. It makes it all so easy to write up the charges.

9. Maybe it's the master plan. If he's impeached and removed

from the White House, it would save him from an embarrassing loss in 2020. It's an exit strategy.

[Doitnow]

11. Just asking another country to investigate a rival should be enough to impeach--even without

blackmailing, is impeachable, is it not? And hasn't tRump admitted to that already?

8. I am hesitant to even mention Biden's son cause don't want to spread false narrative. Also,

while I have not decided on a 2020 candidate, what do Republicans know that makes them so certain that Biden is his only credible threat to win a second term.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. they don't.

TrumPutin just looked at poll numbers and started at the top. Visit the DP forum and see it was only recently that Warren moved up, but then, Dirty Donnie doesn't believe any female could ever beat him.

Trump is an opportunist. He assumed he could use a $400 million bribe to extort a campaign weapon from the Ukraine.

[Pepsidog]

13. Makes sense, he would never believe Warren could beat him. But who would have thought that after

9/11 an African American man with the name Barack Hussein Obama would ever be elected. Shows that the right candidate who can inspire and energize the base can win regardless of race or sex. We are at an inflection point in our country and who we elect next could be transformative or if Trump wins we are finished as a nation. Just think about Trump’s continuing war with California. How much more will a state with the population and economy of California allow itself to be pushed around. Could we ever imagine a state such as Ca. declaring it’s independence from USA? I know it sounds crazy but a Russian asset in the WH.

20. We are independent in some areas. The car standards thing being just one

There are two kinds of catalytic converters. The California kind and the 49 state kind. It doesn’t stop the 49 state kind coming into California to visit. They’re stricter about fruit being brought in. In fact in new cars the 49 state kind usually pass the smog test. Either way when you sell or register a car in California, you legally have to pass smog. A lot of people don’t require it when they buy and make the conversion themselves when they register. We’ve worked this out. It’s part of the price of living here.
This is one of those cases where state’s rights can be used for liberal ends. It’s not like cars need equal rights.

[Pepsidog]

21. Keep fighting the bastard California. You make us proud.

[Hekate]

16. Didn't you watch his MO with his GOP rivals 2015 - 2016? He knocked them out one by one...

He used lies, innuendo, and facts so twisted they were lies.

And Trump tried to gut his rivals on the way down. I have no idea why calling Ted Cruz's wife ugly hurt him to the point of tears, but it was the last straw and Cruz was done.

Trump does not need facts. In the case of Hunter Biden, who'd already been cleared in an investigation in Ukraine, Trump was not so much asking for dirt as asking that dirt be made up. Bonus: Trump hoped to rip Joe's heart out of his chest, because Hunter is Joe's only surviving son.

I guarantee that if he destroys Joe he will kick him a dirty one as he lays on the ground. Then he'll immediately turn to "Pocahantas" and do the same to her. And Cory Booker, vegan and scary scary black man. Kamala Harris, bad cop, not as black as she say she is, and nasty woman. One at a time. Divide, divide, divide.

Trump's dad taught him (and he taught his kids) that there are only 2 kinds of people: winners and losers, and that it does not matter how you win, only that you win. Kick 'em while they're down. Never give a sucker an even chance. Lie, cheat, and steal.

If we Democrats have not learned by now that every word Trump tweets or says about our candidates is a lie -- if we have not learned to close ranks and defend our own -- then we have already lost.

And as for "Republicans knowing something"? The reason they follow Trump is they have been working on dirty tactics for 30+ years, and power is power. They make shit up. By now the Never Trumpers admit that the party they used to believe in is rotten to the core, and Trump is just the manifestation.

12. Dr Krugman is a smart guy...nt

[IronLionZion]

14. Dems are investigating whether they should impeach

it's so silly. They should impeach the motherfucker and then send it to the GOP Senate and have the Senators go on record to stand with him or not. Rats might leave the sinking ship.

[SWBTATTReg]

15. I'm surprised that the whistle blower who filed the complaint didn't provide an additional...

copy to the democratic leaders of the House, or...did they provide an advance copy? Otherwise, how did word get out about the complaint, especially w/ Barr sitting on it?

[Sogo]

17. The IG, who had determined the complaint to be credible and urgent,

told the House committees that the ADNI was withholding it.

18. K & R & Retweeted!

19. Withholding foreign aid for quid pro quo is a threat to national security.

And illegal.
