    Even for a member of our sociopathic political class he's revolting.

    Skin crawlingly.

    I disagree. I think that Mueller’s report will be very damaging to Trump and many of his cohorts. I also think that many of Trumps corrupt cabinet members will and should be investigated for corruption. That said, I hope that the house leaders will get to work devising solutions to address the health care and immigration issues.

    The Benghazi stuff was a GOP disgrace, but Clinton dumped Clinton; Nixon in a pantsuit.

    Only waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less likeable.

    Examples? I used to live in his district and have corresponded with him and his staff several times. He seems like a pretty reasonable guy to me.

    That depends on what Mueller’s investigation turns up.

    That is one seriously gerrymandered area; Pasadena, Burbank, etc.

    Have you ever actually met him? (Speaking of interaction.)

    Incredibly creepy.

    He's just another corporate conservative warmonger & career sociopath, but personally?

    Charles Manson had more warmth and humanity. :headache:

    Which i predict, will "restart" again this coming Friday (I.E. 2 days from today). No way this guy has been sitting on his ass the past 2 months...

    Might soon be Roger Stones' time in the barrel.

    On topic, Adam Schiff has presented himself as clearly one of the most intelligent men in Washington. His leadership of the House Intelligence committee will be fair and complete, unlike the previous sheep in that post... He will now get his subpoenas that should have been issued in 2018 and get some answers (that should have been gotten in 2018 )

    We will soon find out on Mueller. If he has Russian collusion evidence it's a different ballgame but if he has nothing as I suspect democrats have a choice to make. Do they start new investigations to try and get rid of a fairly elected president or do they act like adults and finally accept that Trump is president and get on with their life and their jobs.

    I think you need to inject some dose of reality into your grey matter.Trump is the POTUS, GOP will probably end up with 54 seats in the senate.Democrats don"t call the shots.Furthermore,I honestly believe that the Dems will wise up unless they really want to start receiving live pipe bombs.Wise ones within Dems ranks got the message.

    Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler and Elijah Cummings - all accomplished and skilled legislators and soon to be accomplished chairs of committees; finally a branch of Congress will hold the corrupt and farcical Trump regime to account. None of them are talking 'impeachment', Trump being a pathological lying con artist isn't grounds for impeachment but these new chairs will do the job Congress is intended to do.......the White House Counsel better get ready for what is coming........

    As for Trump and the House working together, it isn't in Trump's nature. He couldn't even work well with his own party, how the hell can he work with Dems? The Republican Senate won't work with the Dem House - should be fun watching this mess. The Dems will look at things like infrastructure and other areas where there might be some common ground but - it's up to Trump and Republicans to quit acting like a spoiled brats.

    Screw sig change bets. I have a real bet at 9-1 for $500 that Trump is impeached by congress in 2019. If Mueller has enough evidence that Trump colluded, obstructed, evaded taxes or laundered money I believe the House should impeach. However there is no way that 17 GOP Senators would vote to convict no matter how much evidence there was. That works for me as I would rather see Trump get his ass kicked in the election.

    Not sure what grey mattet is? Please clarify...

    Democrats now can conduct some of the oversight that was dropped (on purpose) by the Trumpublicans. But Schiff is not going to duplicate efforts that Mueller has already done. His committee will address things that Mueller cannot. (see below)

    “We’re certainly going to look at work that GOP obstructed on our committee,” Schiff said, adding that Democrats won’t officially control the House until January.

    “We‘ll have to see what Bob Mueller has been able to do, and what Bob Mueller has been able to say, either via indictment or via a report,” Schiff said, referring to the special counsel investigation. “That will also guide what we do on our committee.“

    What if he has evidence of tax evasion, money laundering, obstruction? We will see. If Mueller totally exonerates Trump, I think the Dems in congress should try to craft some bi-partisan legislation to address health care, immigration and infrastructure issues.

    I believe that the impeachable crime has already been signified by the Michael Cohen plea deal (read my signature). I'm not sure who (Congress or SDNY) can follow up on that plea deal, but Trump has been essentially named as directing Cohen's illegal actions. I'm sure there is more to Trumps grift and other actions, but I'd start there....

    I do not think that paying a slut to clam up is impeachable.
