======================================= In a somewhat tense moment during today’s House Intelligence Committee hearing, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman corrected Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) after the ranking member referred to the Iraq War veteran as “Mr. Vindman.”

As an American citizen, I take offense at Rep. Nunes calling the Congressional Hearings "a circus" and "a spectacle." Apparently the Republicans have nothing, so all they can do is shoot the messengers. A pox upon their House caucus!
A G.O.P. Star Emerges in Impeachment Hearings. Democratic Donors Notice.
As Representative Elise Stefanik, a New York Republican, took a leading role in Friday’s impeachment hearing, donations came pouring in to her Democratic challenger.
Yes, Elise Stefanik is the best fundraiser ever - for her opponent. Tedra Cobb raised a Million dollars after Stefanik acted the fool. I donated to her and I'll do it again, such is my disgust for fake soap opera "victims" like Stefanik, Nunes and Jordan - oh, and lest we forget, Ohio's Mike Turner. Donated to his opponent today too.
And Cory Booker hasn't caught fire because he seems insincere and very much the black man's version of plain vanilla. Also he dearly loves corporate money and that is the death knell right there for me.
