#1 Of course!

#2 I think there’s a middle ground that needs to be reached here.

It would appear the "middle ground" (the happy ending) has already been reached. The Dems toss in a couple of foggy, notional articles of impeachment, the senate votes them down. Hunter, Joe and Schiff avoid the deep-dive, and everyone goes home to watch football.

What are your questions.

#3 How else can they protect deep state? Get this out of the way so that the democrats can start their next shitshow impeachment.

#5 I'm fairly optimistic still. Cocaine Mitch just did a masterful fuck you to the house dems. The demoncrats announced they passed NAFTAv2 before they announced the impeachment.

Mitch shelved the trade deal bill in the Senate until the Senate is done with impeachment.

#6 This is going to get interesting. If Trump get Biden Jr on the stand he will out all the other congress critters who have family on the take. Both sides are guilty of this money laundering scheme. This will blow the entire swamp out against him. Buy popcorn.

#7 Kabuki graphics seems apropos here.

#8 Trump plays hardball. If the impeachment articles don't get out of the House, he wins. If this goes to the Senate and a vote is held, the 67 threshold won't be met; he wins. If it goes to a Senate trial, and he brings in witnesses to question such as Schiff, the whistleblower, and others, he wins and a light is shined on more Swamp critters.

#9 They probably will.

Totally inadvertently and with the deepest regret, of course.

#10 "With sorrow in our heart" - looks at Brexit/Tory Vote - "Oh SHIT!"

#11 Put 0bama on the stand.

What were his conversations with Comey and Brennan on this?

How many trips did he make to Brennan's "War Room" in Langley?
