If the only goal was embarrassing the sitting president, then yes Republicans were 100% successful. If you look at the fact their own rank and file members of the Senate couldn't agree with the counts proposed by their House comrades, then you are 150% wrong. I'll be interested to see with the current impeachment inquiry how folks will vote once the evidence is presented.

You said they weren't successful with impeachment. House Republicans were 100% successful, they can't control what the Senate does however. I don't see Trump even getting to that phase though.

What evidence? We have literally seen everything already and there's nothing there. You poor deluded bastard.

I don't know if we've seen everything though. I keep thinking they are saying there is more somewhere.

What else is left? Sure maybe Democrats keep saying there is more, but so far all they have talked about is the whistleblower complaint and the phone call, both of which we have seen.

Schiff (you know who that is, right Seran?) claimed for 3 years he had super duper secret evidence that Trump did collude, then as soon as the Mueller report dropped saying Trump didn't collude he just shrugged off his lies and immediately moved onto the next talking point.

Wasn't there talk of a second whistleblower?

The fact there are people in office that have made lifetime careers in Congress should speak volumes to how badly we need Congressional term limits.

Yeah it seems that has already turned out to be bogus, or at least I haven't heard a single thing about it other than a couple of Democrats mentioning it in passing.

Hold on, let me ask that Nancy Pelosi lay out her entire impeachment case and inventory of evidence because you demand it.
