Another 20 or so and his impeachment is pretty much guaranteed.

    I particularly like this quote:

    A GOP leadership aide, granted anonymity to speak bluntly, predicted: “He’s fucked.”

    Technically, this isn’t an impeachment vote. It’s an expulsion vote. And there are no other steps or trials after this one. If 2/3 of the House votes to expel him, he’s gone.

    This dude is a real-life Rodger from American Dad.

    From the meteoric rise fueled by zillions of lies to the epic crash to earth. The writers of that show couldn’t have written a better story ark.

    Unfortunately for him, he’s not a fictional TV Alien and is looking at some serious time.

    He looks like a henchman from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. At the end he reveals he was a toon the whole time.

      What’s up with this dude? I feel like he’s a completely different shape in every single picture I’ve ever seen of him.

        He’s like a quantom fact, there is no detail he will not lie about, to include his height, weight or ethnicity.

        It’s like the GOP tried to lab grow the perfect republican, but they cut all the education funding and medical grants so this is what crawled out of the fucking tube, and he escape the lab when he told security he was a republican so they let him pass.

    When they get back from Thansgiving, the order in the hopper will be recognized as privileged which will start a two day clock to a vote for expulsion.

    “padded his own pockets with campaign money, falsely reported personal loans to his campaign and failed to properly file his financial disclosure forms.”

    Is this all the dude did, or is it like the trump shenanigans where this is all that they can get to stick, but there’s probably a lot more…?

      Some of the things he used campaign finance for is OF subs.

      Like, if you’re gonna do it, at least use it for food and stuff- you can still use the money you save for OF…
