This was not a "win" for either the right or left wing.
Today was a sad commentary on the state of politics in the US.
It amazes me that voters on both sides are not calling for impeachment immediately. I am older, and live in the South, and am shocked that right wing voters are just fine with Russian involvement in elections, after I had to listen to those same people say "Better Red than Dead" for decades. What has happened to us?

2. I know, right?
Bizarre. I am not sure that this nuttiness can be blamed on just the propaganda from the past several decades. This is something else entirely.

12. I know that- shit, I live
in the South. Good goddess, out of anyone that knows what freaking pigs the GOP produces, it's Southerners that had to watch the whole Southern Strategy unfold.
I wish I could exhume Lee Atwater and smack the crap out of him right now. |

6. Just stop with the both sides stuff...
It was a win for the left unquestionably. At this point it will be hard for impeachment not to proceed.

9. Hope you are right. She needs to announce w/I 48 hrs
If not sooner. Doing it close as possible to the cause (what Mueller confirmed). He is the non-partisan.

11. I agree-- and I am not usually a "both sides" person at all
I have been a voting Dem for decades, and have alienated family members over Trump.
However, in the case, it's kind of like watching a Depression coming- a train wreck- or a store closing. This was watching Republican Congressmen and women who STILL want to cover for the criminal to the detriment of these poor people that will suffer--- many of whom were convinced to vote for the jackwit. It was very sad. |

16. "For EITHER side"
Good lord, did you listen to the hearings today?
Ultimately, one of two things are going to happen. Either we are going to go through a truly uglier political period than we are now, complete with a deep economic recession (that's what I think is going to happen personally-- all the signs are there), or the GOP is going to go through a historic split, much like the Democrats in the '60's when Strom Thurmond joined the Republican party. The latter would be better for the economy- the people- but, I think it's going to be the former. |

18. I did too.
May we not live in interesting times.
I hope Pelosi goes ahead and starts with impeachment proceedings-- but, I don't have high hopes. Horrible situation. I don't really think your flippant remarks and bouncy little green thing are cute. |
