Chairman Nadler on the article on obstruction of Congress:

"Trump’s stonewall was complete, absolute and without precedent in American history."
“There can be no serious debate about what President Trump did,” Nadler said, setting the stage for the July 25th phone call.
Contrasting with Nixon's sharing of the tapes and Clinton's submission of DNA, Nadler says: "President Trump’s instruction was, by contrast, absolute."

"Those are the facts: They are overwhelming. There is no denying them."
Chairman Nadler:

"If our elections are corrupt, everything is corrupt."

"Mitch McConnell should be ashamed of himself," @RepJayapal told reporters in an interview following the vote, referring to the Senate Majority Leader's interview on Hannity predicting Trump's acquittal and announcing coordination with the White House on a trial.
@RepJayapal Rep. Jayapal called McConnell's predetermination of the outcome an "affront" to the vision of the Framers.
@RepJayapal Jayapal:

"I think every American should call their U.S. senator and tell them that it is absolutely outrageous that the foreman of the jury, the chief juror, the person who determines the rules for the trial in the Senate would be coordinating with the defendant.”

That's a new one.

Gohmert just compared the impeachment of Donald Trump to the trial of Socrates.
And a "Stalinesque" trial at that.
The Ancient Soviets betrayed all civil libertarian ideals.

Rep. McClintock tells Congress members on both sides to stop repeating the same talking points “ad nauseum.”

He adds Congress members to resist the urge to speak if they are saying nothing new.

Another member replied: “Point well taken.”
Rep. Jordan then promptly ignores that noble sentiment in the next speech, hitting upon well-trod topics.
As does Reschenther after Jordan.

Nadler: President Trump’s stonewall was complete, absolute and without precedent
In his opening statement, Judiciary Committee chair Jerrold Nadler said that the debate should be framed around three questions:

1) Does the evidence show clearly that

2) Do they rise to the level of impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors?
3) What are the consequences if we fail to act?

He also began addressing some of those questions, highlighting that although other presidents have tried to evade investigations, “President Trump’s stonewall was complete, absolute and without precedent,” justifying the

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Mitch McConnell just accused Dems of delaying votes on Trump nominees at a level "literally without precedent in American history."

He denied Obama a Supreme Court seat -- unprecedented -- and blocked so many of his judicial nominees he fueled a vacancy crisis on our courts. 🇺🇸
This is third day this week McConnell is on the Senate floor accusing Dems of unprecedented delays of Trump nominees after Republicans abused Senate rules to no end, for years, to deny Obama the ability to fill court seats he was supposed to fill.
Just a sampling of how McConnell et al obstructed Obama's nominees:

*Denied him a SCOTUS seat

*Refused to fill a circuit court seat for 6+ years (!) then let Trump fill it

*Opposed their *own* judicial nominees

*Delayed votes on lotsa Obama nominees, then voted for em anyway

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
