Fiona Hill, former National Security Council senior director for Europe and Russia, will testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday, Nov. 21, in the impeachment probe into President Donald Trump. Hill told lawmakers in closed-door testimony last month that then-national security adviser John Bolton expressed concerns that the Trump administration was trying to pressure Ukrainian officials. The focus of the impeachment inquiry is a July 25 phone call in which Trump asked Ukraine's president to investigate 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Bet Schiff practiced his closing spill before the mirror everyday.
= = =
His spew was what he has been filling his head with, everyday, every second, jamming and packing it, from ‘when Trump asked the Russians to get Hellary’s email’
As close to ‘head exploding’ as I have seen.
The movie is “The Party” starring Peter Sellars as an extra in a originally blacklisted for ruining a battle scene (hilarious opening scene in and of itself) who ends up in a select list for a Hollywood power party.
The drunk waiter was my favorite character.
A French beauty- Claudine Longet was in it. She later became famous for shooting her boyfriend american skier.
Yep, they have absolutely no regard for the true bigger picture in reality. I honestly don’t think they are even intelligent enough to ever “get it”.
“... is wrong for pronouncing it the way they do in their own native tongue is a little ignorant.”
Actually, English has traditional pronunciations for many places, Paris, Rome, Florence, Moscow, Cologne, Bangkok, Rio de Janiero, Tokyo, and so on, as well as English names for countries. I hope you aren’t saying we should be like those fatuous TV anchors who insist on “Barthelona” or Myanmar. It’s “key-ev” in standard English, no matter how it’s pronounced in any other language.
“Schiff’s passionate speech right now is swaying so many to his cause. Yuck!”
Says who?
When did Barr start his inquiry?
and remember, Biden didn't join the campaign until April 25th....a couple days after the election of Zelensky.
Tom Tryman: He caught an edge there, but he seems to be okay, he’s in good shape.. actually, I think he’s a little.. [ a shot rings out, as Helmut falls into the snow ]
Uh-oh! He seems to have been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet! Yes.. and I’m afraid Helmut Kindle is out of this race!
Awesome. Does it filter out all parts of conversations except the words Biden, investigation, demand, Burisma and quid pro quo?
“The rats still need to votes to move this to the Judiciary committee to determine if Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Oh, they have the votes in the Intelligence Committee. This will be walked over to the Judiciary Committee as soon as they come back from Thanksgiving recess, which I think will be December 3. From there the Articles of Impeachment will be voted on (they are already written, except for a couple tweaks), and it will then go to the House floor, which is where there might be a couple defections, but not enough to preclude the House voting to impeach. Then, it’s on to the Senate. In any event, no matter what, 2020 will be the year that determines whether we survive as a constitutional republic. Yup, it is that serious.
Lord help us.
That was one of the funniest SNL skits ever. I think of it whenever I hear Claudine’s name.
Yup, you know the movie. The waiter played Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. on the Dobie Gillis Show.
Certainly not. I’m just saying a diplomat who is pronouncing the name of the place where he is stationed -the way the people he works with say it -isn’t wrong just because someone here grew up saying it a certain way.
She shot Spider Savage.
That was an SNL skit.
