Power was never taken from Congress. What happened is that Congress increasingly decided to stop doing their job as a result of general unwillingness to work together and with an attitude of "I'll just take my ball and go home!" This left the door open for the executive branch to get creative

What do you think of one of my theses - American people will stop electing these politicians to office for the 30th term in a row. Just kidding, that'll never happen because Americans secretly love grid-lock

The notion that Americans love grid-lock has always been a myth. Americans, by and large, vote straight party line.

Americans love "their guy/gal". They love their party. Their love their own. Grid-lock is an unintended consequence.

turnover in the house is actually pretty high - in the 20% range usually. 23% recently. The pay is mediocre, the travel bad, the fund raising requirements abusive, an dbeing a backbencher in the minority is really boring.

point is that while incumbents almost always win, the seats do turn over pretty regularly.

Botox Pelosi just said she hasn't read the transcript yet. That's a full admission that she went for impeachment with ZERO facts. Impeach first, read later. Just like passing Obamacare.

moran, trump admitted the crime. No readout was necessary.

also, you are misquoting pelosi on obamacare. One more thing right wingers have wrong but don't care.

She meant 1) the house would pass the bill then 2) the people, meaning us, would see how obamacare would work.

She did not say she did not read the bill.

Probably your post is related to mine, which you quoted. I am just having a hard time seeing how it is related.

This is great

more to racket than to you. he implied that the same politicians stay in office forever. Which is sorta true, sorta not.

amusing that the NYT and Wapo started calling this a 'transcript' but after a couple hours changed it to 'readout'

the readout specifically says it is not a transcript. They should never have called it a transcript.

CNN and Fox are still calling it a transcript.

you'd think these peopke would be better at their jobs.

Yeah lets keep in mind this is the WH's call record... we haven't actually seen the original documentation

The Ukranian President asked Trump for help investigating corruption. Crooked Alzheimer Joe better hire an attorney.

He's done. It's going to be Crazy Bernie vs Pocahontas for the nomination.

Did you forget about, "Barr is coming"? Remember all those "Deep State" apparatchiks who would be exposed by Barr? Can't wait for major updates on that.

This actually does a huge favor for Dems.. if it hurts Biden then it paves the way for Warren. I think Bernie is done. Once she is nominated Obama is going to get behind her and the party consolidates further. In the meantime, trump will have to fend off internal attacks from the GOP... good luck

It's actually closer to being a transcript than what I was expecting. I was expecting some general notes with a few key quotes. While technically not a transcription, this is pretty close.

Anyway, the readout is so devastating on its own. When even more info comes out to support the narrative, successful impeachment will be assured.

Then comes the trial in the senate. It will be difficult for the senate to refuse to take the matter up. I thought that Moscow Mitch would just sit on an impeachment and never take it up. With this latest scandal, I don't think that's possible.

Get ready for the spin-job of the century. Trumpland is going to start throwing stuff everywhere to see if anything will stick.

the readout itself says it is constructed of memories and notes and is not a verbatim transcript. it has ellipses and no doubt not everything.

we should all note that Barr is implicated in the readout. And we should also note that it was Barr who said the DNI didn't have to release the whistleblower complaint.

So barr should have recused himself on that since he is part of the story. Whoops.

Post your name and address and I can arrange to have your guns taken away.

this readout of the call is basically a confession

The Ukraine prez says they want to buy guns and stuff.

right after that spanks says hey there's this favor I need.

I mean how the F did the WH think this thing was a help?

It's like when junior released the emails saying he would LOVE to get dirt from russia on HRC.

Impeachment is on. He's just confessed.

How disappointed will you be when he doesn't get impeached?

I'm unclear what your stance is here.

Do you believe Trump should not be impeached, or do you think he deserves to be but will not be for some reason?

You're so cute.

The current manifestation of the GOP needs to be burned down. That means that Democrats need to take over control of all three branches of the government, and use the McConnell "rules" (majority vote) to get things done in the Senate – McConnell will scream bloody murder!

I think a proper burning down will take three election cycles. At that point there will be enough distance from the horrible stench the current GOP has created. Without power the current gang of republican fools in Congress will either be long gone, or they will opt out and take jobs elsewhere. A new group of normal republicans needs to rebuild the party.

PS. Since I was able to vote, stating in the late 1970s, I have always voted based on a candidate's experience and ideology. And always voting in a non-straight line party ticket; never let one party have all the power. But stating in 2020 I will vote straight Democratic ticket all the way down. I have voted for Ford (who lost), Reagan (twice), Bush (the elder, twice), Clinton (his second term), Gore, Kerry (because I could not stand Bush the Younger), Obama (twice), and HR Clinton. . . . . Republicans lost their way starting with GW Bush, and the loss is complete now with Trump.

You will lose. And now Pencil neck Schiff is standing there making up his own stories.

Mueller time is over

The Barr tab is due

Trump had already confessed to committing the crime, dumb dumb.
