    “House Republicans’ latest plan to shield President Trump from impeachment is to focus on at least three deputies — Ambassador Gordon Sondland, Rudy Giuliani, and possibly acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney — who they say could have acted on their own to influence Ukraine policy,” the Washington Post reports.

    “All three occupy a special place in the Ukraine narrative as the people in most direct contact with Trump. As Republicans argue that most of the testimony against Trump is based on faulty secondhand information, they are sowing doubts about whether Sondland, Giuliani and Mulvaney were actually representing the president or freelancing to pursue their own agendas. The GOP is effectively offering up the three to be fall guys.”

    We should all respect our brains enough not to watch Tugger clips.

    Bone Spurs participated in the quid pro quo / extortion in the partial transcript.

    Someone on the republican side said near the beginning they would make a mens rea argument that Trump was not mentally capable of recognising he was being played.

    I didn't watch the clip you said to not watch. I was watching my own clip, which you have apparently not watched. Else you'd know my context.

    Are you new at this BBS/forum thing? :)

    I was distracted reading LacesOut's "bookmarks". Lots of homoerotic stuff here.

    Eddie’s eyes were getting heavy again. Richie helped him back down to the pillow.

    “It’s always kind of like this, isn’t it,” he mumbled.

    Richie didn’t move. He was still holding Eddie’s hand, his shoulder.

    “Like what?” he asked softly.

    “You and me,” Eddie said. What else?"
