WHAT IS HAPPENING OMG WTF IS IT HAPPENING?!?!?

I was out of the office to tour our local landfill (yes seriously), and this happens?!?!?

Dude, I have never felt so deep in my bones the phrase "it's 5 o'clock somewhere." I was counting down the minutes to see a live video alert and it.paid.off.

I figured something would happen today, but... I wasn't ready.

Trump is already out there saying the impeachment inquiry will boost his reelection chances.

Sadly I had the same thought about this boosting his reelection chances

Wow. hearing her say it...just whoa!

What is she saying? I can't watch.

She literally said there are violations of the law, and announced a formal impeachment inquiry.

But it’s like she had to say the exact words to make it real, and it felt really real. Lol

That does indeed help make it feel real. I am so curious to see how this all unfolds. Buckle up, friends.

I’m at dance for two hours. I’m tempted to run to the restaurant a few minutes away to grab a beer or something. That’s appropriate right?

At many, many bars around these great United States, there will be literal happy hours. So yes, appropriate. #gogetyousomesuds

ABSO-phucken-LUTELY!
The lawless, abhorrent Ukraine request is 45’s move after nothing came of the Mueller report. He was getting away with it; might as well push it further. Rinse & repeat.

Here's Politico with the full speech

Anil Dash has written an Impeach the Motherfucker Already glitch app. OMG.

"Current count of members of the House of Representatives who are on the record as supporting impeachment or an impeachment inquiry, made extra stressful in honor of the NYT Needle"

According to CNN the Orange Menace is melting down on twitter.
www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-ukraine-09-24-2019/index.html

These are the text of the tweets, but not the links, for the benefit of those who can't see Twitter, and because I hate having to look at his stupid face every time I open the thread:

Such an important day at the United Nations, so much work and so much success, and the Democrats purposely had to ruin and demean it with more breaking news Witch Hunt garbage. So bad for our Country!

Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff and, of course, Maxine Waters! Can you believe this?

They never even saw the transcript of the call. A total Witch Hunt!

PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!

[bimbi284]

Trump is freaking the fuck out on twitter and it’s great.

“PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!”

[tessalb]

I am celebrating with a drink tonight. I hope this is it.

I'll be honest, it probably isn't. But at least the fucking Dems went on record to say this shit should not stand.

That's worth two drinks IMO.

FUCK ME. How am I supposed to sit in a choir rehearsal for 2.5 hours?!

I have to agree. This is just the very beginning of a long battle that will require tremendous work EVEN IF we are successful with the impeachment. If the Dems win in 2020 cleaning up after this nightmare will be monumental. Everyone needs to be prepared for a long fight.

I'm actually looking forward to listening to NPR on my way home.

Yup.

People forget that Trump consistently polls around 40%, give or take. He lost the popular vote by 3 million, even after all the cheating, and midterm and other special elections have not been kind to him. The rate of GOP retirements is unprecedented.  

They can only win if they cheat. That's it.  Impeaching won't give him this election, cheating will.

He must be taken out.

If there's a transcript, then there is a tape recording. And the recording must be turned over.

If there is no recording, then the "transcript" is just notes from a staffer put together as a readout.

Kurt Eichenwald also posted this a little bit earlier:

According to one of his note takers, Henry Kissinger faked transcripts of his conversations by adding bits and pieces, taking some out, & ordering edits by note takers. They were rough notes - with embarrassing parts never taken down - that were turned into transcripts.

Just FYI

Old Man Sharpie for sure would have no qualms about putting together his own version of a "transcript."  I hope the media doesn't fall for whatever BS he releases and get distracted.

Fortunately for us, Trump’s sharpie subterfuge tactics are quite pedestrian.

I can't wait to shout presidential harassment at anyone who asks me to do anything from here to eternity.

[Dumbledork]

I’m actually hoping this will boost Dem turn out for 2020 and give candidates and voters a more central focus to rally around.

I’m president of my HOA board- all 15 (incl subcommittees) are definitely R minus me & my two buddies. I’m totally thinking of dropping this at our mtg next week. Just to see 😋

Look, I get the fears about the political implications of impeachment. But we all agree that Trump is a loose cannon who will just keep crossing the line further every time the Dems let shit slide.

I mean, what's next? He decides to nuke Delaware to hurt Biden's chances? He tries to sell Harvard to Putin to hurt Warren? It's only going to get worse if we do nothing.

We are talking about a man who routinely “jokes” about staying in office longer than entitled under the Constitution!!
