That is what they say. But truthfully this is a vote on whether or not in continues at all. Republicans will vote down anything that is not 100% transparent, or may vote it down out of spite but to their lack of inclusion in the process so far. Democrats will vote for it because this is their only shot at 2020. There is a section of Democrat's that are in red leaning or purple states that if they back this know they will not get reelected if this fails, and they may be able to swing the house to the republicans side in this vote. If they cannot pass a vote on procedures, they will not be able to pass a vote on drawing up formal articles of impeachment, and they know it. This is the test.

I don't see any way this comes out good for the Democrats.

Then again this is clown world

As it stands right now, the Republicans only require 16 of those democratic house representatives to flip the house in their favor (or 15 and the one independent). And given how things are going, it is very possible for that to happen. Many of the current house democrats are only in their seats due to dispassionate voting in the midterms. But this is a federal election year coming up, and they sure as hell know that 40 seat swing for them will go the other way come next year unless they really suck up to the Trump voters.

Because even with a full investigation, they wont find anything, again, and impeachment will die in the senate, and those 40 seats they won in 2018 will turn into 60 or 80 lost in 2020.

bear in mind that there may also be some republican never-trump quislings that will side with the democrats.

Not if they want to keep their seat. something like 85% of republicans stated they would vote against anyone who voted for impeachment. It would be their last act.

trump derangement syndrome is a powerful thing

It is. but i still cant see more than one or two defectors. it will be a close vote, but that is why they are putting it to a test with this vote while they continue their shady backroom interviews

if it passes, they will push to write up full articles of impeachment

"Waaaaahhhh"
"What's the matter?"
"I'm offended by something"
"Social Justice Police, to the rescue!"

they'd need an army to deal with the number of times those snowflakes get offended

I think we should bring back stocks in the public square as punishment for offensive costumes

I'll stop having to just throw away food I took in a to-go box from the restaurant and then forgot about until 3 days later

@The Electric Lizard that kid is obviously an Elizabeth Warren supporter

lol
Still good PR against IS

Questioning or not, it still has "al-Baghdadi was crying" phrase in it, which is what sticks in ones mind.

Is that the coming narrative? Trying to defend the character of a monster, coward, and enemy to the western world?

Stunning and brave ~ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/29/us-helicopter-raid-reported-syria-trove-baghdadi-intelligence/

This goes into the details of the raid. How the SOB took three of his children with him.

yeahyeahyeah, that's nice, so when are we getting out

what's the score now, Saddam, Ghaddafi, Bin Laden, this poof

that's four out of four HVTs in the ground

plus the myrid other little-fish officers along the way

So unless someone finally wants to acknowledge the top of this pyramid and drone the Saudi palace, we have no more business there

Or let the dirt farmers burn their own shit down and stop giving a shit

I'm tired of acting like police stationed outside the home of an abusive couple that won't/can't split.

honestly at this point i doubt that trump has full control of the military

i don't think they'll let him pull out of anywhere

the intelligence services must have something they can threaten him with.

Or he doesn't understand how to throw his weight around as commander in chief

occupational hazard of being a self-styled 'amateur prez'

he's been letting Pompeo walk his neocon ass all over the military chain of command

"oh well, he used to be CIA director, he must know more about this than I do"

well now he's the Secretary of state. domestic military matters aren't in his fucking job description
