    That he is just finding a non-diplomatic way to do something, is your way of suggesting that what he is doing is not illegal, it's just non-diplomatic. In other words it's what's called making excuses for what you know to be Trumps abuse of power.

      Nope, it's not. And if I were you, I'd ask for a refund for those mind reading lessons.

      Well, I could see where somebody suffering from TDS might see it that way, but, no..... I mean what I said.

        But yeah. It was a very deliberate move on Pelosi's part to allow Schiff's committee to be in charge of the investigation since that has never been part of the Intelligence Committee purview prior to this. You really have to wonder what was going through her head when she agreed to this. Did she want it to fail?
        I'm truly dubious that this was her idea - it looks like her whole party is running roughshod over her. If four freshmen could do it, why not Schiff?

          "Honoroably", of course, meaning agreeing with the Democrats. Same as "bipartisan" and "compromising".
          Honorably.

          Neither of you can spell it right...

          Or spell honorably correctly...

            Yep it is, and mind reading lessons aren't needed to see through the facade you put up, CP. At least not for me.

            Yes, we all know what you said, CP, and we know that the suggestion is that Trump is innocent of any wrong doing, he's just doing things in his usual un-diplomatic way. Garbage!

                I was focused on removing the extra vowel from ff's 'honourably' -- apparently, I bought another vowel to make up for it.

                    According to the latest focus group results, anyway.

                      Because his name isn't Donald Trump and he's a Democrat.

Your complaints that it's the process, it's the Democrats, it's Pelosi, it's Schiff, the head of the inquiry, are simply ways to take your focus off of the damning evidence itself. No, it's not a witch hunt, it's a legitimate inquiry as has been proven by the testimony of the witnesses, an inquiry which none of you hard core Trumpsters will ever see as legit, because you don't have the capacity to overcome your cult like bias. You just don't!
                        You really do seem determined to expose that you really are the "dimmest bulb in the socket," aren't you?

                        This isn't, as you bleat, Trumpster talking points but what Democrat pollster/advisors were saying:

                        Trump is indeed blessed by the caliber of his opponents.

                        Your knee-jerk denialism appears to indicate some deep seated concern about this being the case, amirite?

                          You gotta wonder if little jimmy thinks that repeating his unsubstantiated gossip over and over while furious clicking his heels together will in some way alter reality.

                            She could concede allowing the impeachment while still picking the venue.

                                Unless, of course, we are talking about dictators. Here is his what he said about dictator and human rights abuser Kim Jong Un:

                                "He's got a great personality. He's a funny guy, he's very smart, he's a great negotiator. He loves his people, not that I'm surprised by that," Trump said.
                                He loves them so much that he starves some of them to death, puts some of them in concentration camps and the like.
                                "Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.
