I'm not familiar with Nadler at all


Really? Up until recently he was all over the news and you are usually pretty "up" on what is going on in the news.

It is actually interesting to me that this whole impeachment dealio is being handled by someone other than his committee, Judiciary, but I guess this is the "investigation before the investigation" so it is kind of do whatever Nancy wants to do...

I'm kind of amazed you missed him...

Yes, terapined's and ams's seemingly lack of knowledge concerning Nadler is "telling" and make one wonder.

Maybe it's a Fox News/right wing media thing?

Do they make him out to be a big boogeyman (a la AOC) for you guys?

Some of the conservatives here are consumed with politics 24/7
Political discussions, although I enjoy it, are in reality a very small part of my life
The conservatives on this board bring up a political quote from 20 years ago. Wow. Some people have no life and live politics
I have a life. Rather have a life with lots of interests rather then being some Nadler expert :-)
I know who in Congress represents me. Nadler does not represent me. That's all I need to lknow

How could you miss Nadler if
you were paying attention to
current events. He was the
leader of the witch hunt collusion
hoax. He was on the news
literally every day ranting about
Trump. He was the one that
forced Mueller to testify. When
that blew up in his face, he
disappeared. Completely. Poof.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I think Kelly won't go until after Jarvanka "resign." Sessions could go any time.

Mattis, I hope, will stay through to the end. I honestly get nightmares at the thought of a yes-man in his post.


Funny Nareed should comment on yes men. Even if for some reason you think Trump is a stable genius (?), he really doesn't benefit by having a bunch of suck-ups around him who just tell him how great he is and back down if they appear to upset him too much with something he needs to hear.

Kelly, 69, said he privately cautioned Trump during his final days on the job that he would be impeached if he did not tap a chief of staff with the fortitude to check the president’s bad impulses. Kelly said he does not believe the president would be in this predicament had he stayed.
“I said, whatever you do — and we were still in the process of trying to find someone to take my place — I said whatever you do, don’t hire a ‘yes man,’ someone who won’t tell you the truth — don’t do that. Because if you do, I believe you will be impeached,” Kelly recalled, in an interview at the Sea Island Summit, a political conference hosted by the Washington Examiner.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The Democrats intended to impeach from election day. Just a matter of finding a charge as "because we don't like him" is hard to convict on.
The President is a fink.

Well, lucky for the Dems they’ve found the charge.
