In the final scene of Thelma and Louise, when Detective Hal Slocumb realizes that those wacky chicks are about to drive that ’66 Thunderbird over the edge of the Grand Canyon, he runs after them in a futile attempt to prevent their senseless descent toward self-destruction. Slocumb, played by Harvey Keitel, does a good job of conveying the impotent despair that moderate Democrats like Steny Hoyer must feel while watching Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff accelerate toward the electoral abyss that awaits their party if they insist on relitigating Russiagate and rummaging through the President’s tax and business records.

You´d think that there´d be at least a couple of DemoRats in the House with some remaining self respect who´d jump ship and switch to Republican. Are they all that scared or all that deluded? I mean, how can they get up every morning, turn on the news and unwaveringly believe the absolute garbage that their party spews every minute of every hour of every day? How do they stand it? Unfathomable.

The Waddlers and Schiff-For-Brains here are merely representing the wishes of their voters and contributors - that’s the really sad part in all of this.

Beg to differ a bit, David. I lived in the DC area for 35 years and had more exposure to Steny Hoyer than you apparently have had. He is nowhere near being a moderate demonrat and has said odious and untrue things about Republicans for decades. He’s no better than Nadler of Schiff. If he is now against impeachment and further investigations, it is only because polling has shown that they are not helpful to his party.

Well then, why don’t Hoyer and some of the supposed cooler heads stop them? FWIW, here are some of my thoughts about why they can’t. Schiff and Nadler are only part of the picture. Swalwell, Tlaib, Omar, Harris, AOC et al are Democrats, too. They came to Congress after the call came for fundamental transformation of the country. Donald Trump is a mortal threat to their plans to overturn the U.S. as founded in order to make it a nation of serfs led by dark-skinned (or in the case of Swalwell reptilian) enemies of freedom. The whole thing is about much more than an ill-advised political stunt. These people hate conservatives like us and they mean business. They want Chinese power to overtake us, they want our country overrun by illegals to the point of breaking, they want a re-emerging Russia, they want an effectively uneducated populace. Heck, they just want us gone. For the nation to move past this attempted coup the perpetrators need to be punished so that future generations can forget what we said here but they can never forget what we did about it.

At the risk of focusing on the analogy, I always found it hilarious that Thelma & Louise (the film and the characters) were praised for abandoning their old ways and personas.
The film was written by a lesbian and even a blind man can see the strong hints that true female liberation could only be attained by ´coming out´ as the girls abandoned makeup, donned their denim and generally acted masculine.
Those praising the film and the writer had a very strange habit of ignoring the ending.

A better analogy is Laurel & Hardy

Definitely an insult to Thelma and Louise. For one thing, Nadler and Schiff are way more lesbian. And for another, their Prius couldn´t haul Jabba-the-Hut Nadler´s fat butt to the edge of the Grand Canyon, much less over it. But I would pay to watch that splash on pay-per-view.

Apologies to #1, but when one joins the Democrat Party, you must leave your self respect at the door. Also your honor, your integrity and your belief in God.

Here’s hoping Thelma and Louise stomp hard on the accelerator of insanity as we approach the elections of 2020, and Democrats swirl the drain.

Schiff-head wants AG Barr to resign because of complaints against him. There were many people complaining about Schiff-for-Brains and he hasn´t resigned, so the AG needs to publicly tell him to go pound sand.

All decent Americans should be revolted by the antics of representative "Schiff for Brains".

On another note, I´ve never seen the movie and never felt the need to watch it.

I agree with the likely outcome and I recognize that it could be Hell for Trump (although with Mueller´s report complete his hands are untied) over the next year and a half but I hope the dems persist. I enjoy the image of Thelma Nadler and Louise Schiff and all the dems disappearing over the cliff into oblivion.
It might be the most efficient and permanent way to dispose of them, through the ballot box. They have shown they are incapable of reasoned actions and, given power, will abuse it. They will NOT cooperate in governance. Their plans are un American and border on the insane.
While it might be desirable to have "the honorable opposition" in government, the dems no longer fill that role. Lying opposition, crooked opposition, seditious opposition, corrupt opposition, un American opposition, power hungry opposition, Socialist opposition, certainly.
If they are willing, and it seems as they are, to dispose of themselves, we should let them get on with it, maybe, cautiously, help them nudge the gas pedal to the floor.

´Scuse me but I seem to remember the Marxists took the House in 2018 because the GOP pulled a YUGE fall down, roll over and soil self because of the false Orange Man Bad meme yelled boo in their ears. What the author doesn´t realize is that it´s not Nadler and Schiff, it´s Thelma McConnell and Louise McCarthy driving the T-Bird towards the cliff at break neck speeds. The false confidence does one thing; help sells strawberries and sheets, signifying nothing.

Nadler and Schiff want to pack the "hearing" with a hoard of un-elected attackers to "question" Barr.
If they get their way, the House "hearing" will be a depraved slander-fest that will make the disgrace that took place in the Senate look mild by comparison.
I can only wonder why they lack the guts to do this hatchet job themselves.

The Democratic party marched lock step with Obama for 8 long years. This is what they are. They will not change. What they are doing should never be considered governing. they are on a path of destruction. Only the voter can fix this.
Vote. Them. Out.
