And not in a visceral enough way to reach the lower emotional brains of the ignorant, the lazy and the racist.

I even expressed an opinion that I wish Schiff would do that as well.. Not so lawyerly-like.
But perhaps, upon reflection, I am wrong in his case. it is hard to say.


But others..... aside from those who are already doing it..... please do !

This is no time for only niceties.

he's a top contender for 2020, IMO. In fact, I had added his name to a list being compiled in another thread on DU just a couple of days ago. California has a wealth these days, which in a way is unfortunate. A Schiff/Harris ticket would be fascinating, but would never come about as it's "geographically undesirable". Shame. Look for Eric Swalwell to do great things in the future also.

I feel the same way you do! I love this man. EVERYTHING about him!

Whenever I see that he's coming up for an interview, I stop whatever I'm doing and listen intently.

I feel so bad for him that he's had to serve as the minority ranking member on the House Intel Committee with that treasonous piece of shit, Trump stooge, Devin Nunes.

I'm waiting for the day that Rep. Schiff takes over as the Chairman and Nune's ass is kicked to the curb.

Nunes may still win in his super red district (CA-22) but that hasn't stopped me from sending a modest amount of money each month to his opponent Andrew Janz!

VOTE!! Send money if you can.

And he would have been. Nixon didn't have Congress in his court, nor did he have Fox News singing his praises 24/7.

This Congress will never impeach the asshole under any circumstances. Trump knows this.

They don't care about anything bad that he does. And the Senate is too far gone to hope for, and they would have to convict him after he is impeached.

I have said, from the very beginning, that the only way to get rid of this bastard is to make him not want to be there. Organize protests wherever he shows up. Let him know how much he is hated. Get in his fucking face, everywhere. Do whatever you can to let him know how little he is liked. At some point, he will move on.

Why is everyone talking about a pardon when there has not been an indictment released, much less a conviction? I thought pardons were only (normally) issued for people who have been wrongfully convicted of crimes.....

And, why would tRump or his people discuss a pardon for him when he has not even been charged with a crime?

I understand the furor over tRump and his people discussing a pardon for himself, and it is very stupid of them to bring it up.
