They did it.
We did it.
They did it some more.
We did it some more.
When does the cycle end?

I'm fine with it ending now.
But enough with the self-righteous, "how dare they!" bullshit.

Not remotely close to the truth of the matter.
Maybe he'll make you an ambassador.

Uh...wut?
Two questions, since you're eager for full participation: Do support having Schiff testify before the Judiciary Committee? Do you support having Biden testify in a Senate trial?
If you're not, then all this blather about about compelling people to do what they should do is just so much bullshit.
You don't have to answer, of course. in your case, the questions are, obviously, rhetorical.

Biden is a red herring. Schiff should testify the same way Starr did. But then Starr had the principals deposed. So, Schiff should testify after Giuliani, Mulvaney, Pompeo and Barr have been deposed.
So why is it "lulz" to be frustrated that the GOP demands the Constitution be upheld when it serves their purpose and wipes their ass with it when it serves their purpose?
In all seriousness, can someone show me one primary GOP politician on these committees that hasn't been a complicit performer in this obvious bullshit?
I was just admiring your defense of constitutional process, violations of which you probably didn't notice for a second from, say, January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001 and January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017.
I mean...what if the House majority party wanted to hold the Attorney General in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over subpoenaed documents and the minority party walked out of the House en masse?
Or what if the majority party voted to hold the White House Counsel and Chief of staff in contempt for the same thing? Would that piss you off?
Cuz Eric Holder, and (W. Bush's) Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten say hi.
I turned 21 in 1993, so I probably wasn't sober enough to pay attention to anything of that sort until about 1997. And I certainly didnt watch the news back then.
If the House majority chose to hold violators in contempt for that then I have no problem with that if that in fact is what is required per the Constitution.

Wait, now hints that the articles of impeachment might include obstruction of the Mueller probe too?

You seem to not understand the "guilt by association clause" that is one of the founding principles of whataboutism. If you ever supported a Democrat then you are complicit in all of their crimes and shitty dealings dating back to decades before you were born. Never mind that you might be focused on crimes committed by tiny and his gang of thieves NOW, once you open a door, all doors must open simultaneously for discussion until you are exhausted and just say oh never mind nothing really matters anyway.
Wait for it.........

And dont forget that you are only allowed to be mad about things going on now if you were also mad about things that happened in 1998.
