This cartoonist is what’s called “an impeachable source” … and that means that we’re wasting our time here if we came for information, direct enlightenment or, alas, humor. But we can learn a bit about how the right wingers are seeing the world… or at least how the bosses want them to see it. See?
Since pretty much all the testimony heard has been first-person accounts from credible sources, this toon is b.s. As for the Trump hatred thing, well, that’s a pretty big pond in which to swim. It seems that even most of the people who work with him don’t like him much either.
“Not one witness said there was a Quid Pro Quo,” that’s true….. they all did….including Ambassador Gordon Sondland; the assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, Laura Cooper; GOP witness and former National Security Official, Tim Morrison; Bill Taylor; Fiona Hill; Col. Vindman.
Even Mick Mulvaney at a press conference admitted there was a “Quid Pro Quo,” and then tried to walk it back…. this is not hearsay or conjecture and I doubt Mick hates Trump.
We’ve heard not one not two but several independent career, and Trump appointed officials confirm Trump’s guilt. We’ve seen many transcripts of incriminating phone calls, text messages and emails. We’ve even had the White House chief of staff openly admit to “quid pro quo” and tell reporters to “deal with it”. All this, according to Republicans is ‘hearsay’. I wonder what would constitute ‘evidence’ in their book ? Perhaps they would also like to explain why the White House has ordered it”s officials not to testify before Congress, as they are obligated to do by law ?
That’s It? Meaning Treason is not big deal because it wasn’t “Flashy” enough? There wasn’t a performance of the Impeachment dancers? No Stand Up Routine?
OK How about this one? RUSSIA gained from holding up Ukraine weapons, and Trump WAS NEVER going to give them the weapons. He was just looking for an excuse to hold it up and he picked an illegal scheme.
Putin told Trump do not send weapons to Ukraine while my army is fighting the Ukrainiansand Trump tried to spin that to his advantage.
When all is said and done, the testimonies, the hearing and the tax dollars spent for this spectacle, will be of no consequence to the GOP! Throughout the whole time, all they did was STUFF their supporters with more lies, and divide the country more! Evil, greed and power seems to have taken hold of the GOP party….per usual….in the end, it will be in fact, the other half of WE the PEOPLE who will eat leftovers…..
It’s not bribery because Hair Groppenfuror and his cohorts didn’t receive suitcases of money from Ukraine to free up the aid? Those guys are about as good at constitutional law as Rariall is at logic.
Circumstantial evidence is still sufficient to convict someone of a crime if it is strong enough. Most of those that testified had first had knowledge of one issue or another. Most were highly credible. The only reason there was not 100% clear evidence was because key witnesses were blocked or objected to testifying. Then , of course there will be all the text messages and emails (if we can ever see those). They will tell the real story.
Hey Robert! Don’t forget; there’s also large helpings of “Extortion”, “Bribery”, “Miss use of Funds approved by Congress”, and, to top it all off, “Abuse of Authority” by No. 1., Perfect recipe for “Impeachment Pie”.
The Trump sycophants have offered no defense of Trump’s many crimes, they just deny that there should be any consequences for trampling on the Constitution and lying constantly.
Gee guys, you have to face facts. Impeachment is only for serious things like getting a blow job. Don’t you know how damaging to the nation a blow job can be? worse, Clinton denied it. He lied about his infidelity. for that alone he deserved to be driven from society.
Robert’s Rubber band mind must’ve snapped and he went on holiday vacation early. Maybe the Weasel in the White house will let you share his padded room in the psych ward? Never have so many idiots jeopardized the nation at once. SAD
Arial is behind on the talking points. No one is denying there was an attempt to withhold Ukraine aid in order to compel Zelensky to make a public statement that could be used to smear Biden. Republicans say it just doesn’t matter.
Ariail has no political beliefs, i.e., he has no integrity. He waffles back and forth defending, then criticizing, the Capo-in-Chief. He’s more concerned with being thought clever than with being thought insightful. He’s an intellectual lightweight.
Imagine a murder takes place in a large mansion with hundreds of people present. There is a one main suspect, which for good reason is the person on trial. However, at the trial for the suspect, neither the suspect himself, nor anyone who was directly in the room when the murder took place, is allowed to testify. Only those in other rooms testify – and their testimony is all tarred with being “hearsay.” Anyone using that argument with Trump’s impeachment – that it is all hearsay – will be failing to account that by not allowing any “witnesses” to testify, they are essentially creating the truth on their own terms. If they want to really “exonerate” Trump – have him testify under oath. Along with Bolton and many others who have been forbidden to testify by the White House. Or do they have something to hide?

Oh, Robert. Come on, you don’t need to impress the bad kids. Just be yourself.
You’re a guy who can recognize truth and reality. We know this.
There is no hearsay or conjecture, just mountains and mountains of evidence. Which, by the way, is the source of the “hatred of Individual 1”.
We can’t stand treasonous grifters and we’re not apologizing for that.
