(1,713 posts)I hope he is impeached in House before Christmas. Here, there just isn't that many people following it. Sure, they get the clips and news online but between work and other daily responsibilities, the vast majority of people I know and talk to just don't see or understand much of it. I worry about loss of interest with the general publuc.

(14,961 posts)of the actual danger our nation is in, I think there would be more of an interest. How the fifth estate could pull that off without causing a panic is another story. Everything is such a massive disaster, with impeachable crimes piling up daily, I don't know how people that aren't into politics, could really understand.

(86,524 posts)A morning fireworks session. I bet the butthead brigade are getting worn down. They have to work way overtime to come up with their strategy that keeps getting shot down. They have to reinvent the wheel every night and then come back to carry out the performance knowing they have no support from the truth... all day long. And they will be on the same schedule again tonight unless they give up.
One thing I do know, one of them is going to royally blow it and expose something that will hang them all, could be Sondland, could be a Committee member, could be the charlatan in chief.

(86,524 posts)top of the show almost, that Sondland has been trying to buy an ambassadorship for several elections starting, I think, with Romney's campaign.
He wanted to be tied to Germany but looks like he didn't care what he was going to do as long as he had the title and some kind of assumed power.
If he's scared enough, he'll spill the beans today. His family is probably really pressuring him because everything they have will evaporate thus ruining their lives too. People are protesting outside their motels.
It's crappy weather outside and I have no place else to be so I'm enjoying the luxury of having the time, comfort and privacy to watch this along with DU to help with questions.
Here we go folks, fasten your seatbelts and keep your heads away from the windows!

(5,810 posts)I noted to my husband yesterday that anyone coming into this now would be hopelessly lost and probably bored. Learning the players and details in this plot is tedious and time consuming. If you are starting from scratch in understanding this, you have a lot of catching up to do.
tRump is counting on the ignorance of millions of people to save him. He knows he can bully his way into the narrative and try to control it. My hope is that there are enough people giving summaries with essential details so the ones not watching can still understand what happened. I know a lot of tRumps minions dont want to believe he did anything wrong but neither did Nixons fans. Eventually the weight of the truth toppled their stubborn resistance to the facts. Let us hope that truth wins in this case, too!

(14,961 posts)I know wouldn't understand, there are to many moving parts. It's such a massive spiderweb of crimes/corruption, it's hard to use the Nixon comparisons anymore.
He didn't have FOX and all these supporters willing to actually die for him. The fact that it's deeply troubling, feels like an understatement.

(128,813 posts)The Watergate hearings were "boring". But what made them different from today is back then, there was more of a captive audience due to no "internet/web" and no cable/satellite providers with thousands of channels of alternate content (there was limited cable as it was still in its infancy and available to select locations that had little or no broadcast TV reception).
