Sorry I got off track. The congresswoman was snubbed and didn’t defer. Think the vice chair and her had it worked out in advance? If you’re running a railroad or stopping one, throw the switch and sideline it. Bad optics for Schifftzhead makes me smile.

Republicans had been lead to believe the strong democrat chick who would testify would cry. They wanted to make sure democrats couldn’t blame male Republicans.

I’ve heard it’s location, location, location in real estate. I believe in politics it appearance. She never got to cry. That’s a very good point. If she was tough enough to represent the US over seas, she should be able to handle getting fired.

“Trump has suggested without evidence that the arrangement involved improprieties.”

************************************************************

Imagine the AP writing, “Schiff has suggested without evidence that Trump is a Russian agent”?

Democrats concede they're losing the impeachment battle and they say its all b/c Americans are too stupid.
Democrats say Americans are not smart enough to understand impeachment concepts.
Americans are too dumb to understand “abuse of power," "bribery," foreign stuff like "quid pro quo."
So Democrats are working overtime to try to make "unusual" concepts understandable to all the American dummies out there.

Hillary points out, "Its those darn deplorables, again."
<><> tens of thousands from nowhere towns massing to get into overflow Trump rallies;
<><> starving Americans, in-line for hours, hoping against hope to get a Popeye's chicken sandwich;
<><> losers rolling out carts-full of shoddy Wal-Mart merchandise made in China.
<><> Americans making $12 an hour as Crown Prince Hunter speed-dials his coke dealer at Burisma board meetings.

Then again, Democrats are flopping at impeachment b/c Americans know
"getting Trump" has been Dems goal from Day One......and they wont go along with it.

Democrats made it partisan and they have only themselves to blame.

The country is checking out and it doesn’t care about these impeachment hearings. Democrats had a chance to make their case and they blew it.

If they couldn’t do it in two days, they never will. They can forget about getting the American people on board.

Democrats are attacking her because there’s no good news on impeachment for them.

This is the old tactic called shooting the messenger because your messaging stinks up the wazoo.

Impeachment is DOA and all of Trump’s enemies know it. Writing up hit pieces on Stafanik doesn’t change that bottom line.

I met Amy Coney Barrett today at a Federalist Society event.

Lucky you. What was your impression of her?

No idea of her voting score but this is from the linked article:

“She’s been one of the more moderate House Republicans, befitting a lawmaker whose district voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 before shifting to Trump in 2016.

She’s broken from Trump on issues including his efforts to unilaterally use money to build a border wall with Mexico and withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris agreement on climate change.“

That she’s a moderate makes it difficult for Democrats to portray her as a right wing troglodyte.

If they can’t flip her, how are they going to remove Trump?

That’s why stupid assholes like Schiff spend their time writing her off. LOL

Though she was breaking committee rules with her interruptions, the outburst gave Republicans a nationally televised opening to accuse Trump nemesis and committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., of treating a woman lawmaker unfairly.

Oh, really. An "outburst", eh?

Gee, Ape Pee, I wonder if you would've characterized it as an outburst if a man had done it. Her response seemed very measured to me. But then, unlike SOME so-called news outlets I know, I have the utmost respect for womenfolk.

Democrats use women the way Bubba uses them. As sperm receptacles.

Because Democrats are such great champions of women’s equality.

The supposedly unbiased AP “wire service” is dripping with bias here, as usual

“If she was tough enough to represent the US over seas, she should be able to handle getting fired”

“Marie” Yovanovitch - whatever her real name might be - may be tougher then anyone thinks.

Born in Montreal to Ukrainian Jewish parents, she “moved to” the United States when she was 3 in 1961.

Funny. That’s the profile of a KGB illegal. Parents emigrate to Canada, have kid there or in US depending on opportunity to cross into US. Raise kid to get into US government and get a clearance, and voila: access.

A profile like that used to mean you had a hell of time GETTING a clearance.

Now how does someone like that end up being on the tip of the American spear in a volatile region like Ukraine in the former Soviet Union?

Her big educational background is....drumroll...she speaks Russian. Did a gig at the Pushkin Institute - language school in Moscow.

Undoubtedly I will be shouted down here as being crazy - she can’t be a spy! Her parents were *SOB* Refugees!

Mmm hmmm. That was always the cover story.

Tough enough to get fired? She wasn’t fired. She was transferred in the agency. Normal day in Foggy Bottom. Change of political winds.

But there might be a reason she was picked by Hussein, and is working with the Rats to undermine the President.

And reason 1 is...she’s an AINO...”American in Name Only”.
