Here. youre the ones in the wrong. where i think it goes from here? i dont think putin wants to invade ukraine. hes too smart for that. that could get messy. the ukrainians will fight. a lot of casualties. his game is very different. i think he wants to use the troops as leverage, he wants to use his oil and dominance over the european economy, use that as leverage and i think his end goal here is he wants a coup in ukraine and a pro russian government that means moscow will control ukraine even...

Anyway. and so, this potentially could be creating some pressure on mitch mcconnell. not every gop senator actually agrees with mcconnell that there shouldnt be witnesses. some feel the president should be able to call who they want. he is probably never going to be able to convince -- there are probably not enough gop senators in the senate, that says you can have just the witnesses. that creates a deal-making situation for the democrats, where they pull in mick mulvaney, who resisted, the subp...
