    I hope they come completely unglued.

    If this gets any uglier, I think there's a good chance that this Yankees team just quits and JV throws like a two-hitter tomorrow.

    Jimmies are rustled or something.

    White woman from Texas doing the state proud.

    Fort Bend County, my old stomping grounds (as a teen)

    This all apparently happened after Butt and her brother Aaraan said they passed the woman on the road because she was driving under the speed limit.

    "Right after I passed her up, that's when the tailgating happened," Aaraan said.

    The brother said he decided to pull over to let her pass him, but instead, he says the woman pulled up behind them.

    The teens say they got out of the car to ask her why she was tailgating and say they began recording after the woman got loud.

    ABC13 tracked down the woman in the video, later identified as Debbie Pate. She released the following statement:

    "It is most bizarre that 2 teens would get out of a car with cameras ready after driving like maniacs only to continue their behaviors in a more contrived method for a few moments of fame. There is no racism, only a noted sense of unhappiness being here."

    The siblings say they have since filed a police report with the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.

    I’d bet money she’s involved with whatever HOA governs her subdivision.

    So Mulvaney's out front of the White House admitting that aid was withheld in order to get Ukraine to look into the server, basically admitting to half of the allegations.  It looks like they've decided to go with the "yeah, we did it, and we're going to tell you it wasn't inappropriate" strategy.  

    I guess their strategy is to roll the dice and put it in the hands of the Senate.  They probably have enough dirt on enough Senators, including Mitch, that they either go free, or bring everybody down.

    Sondland sure has floated a lot of trial balloons on what he plans to testify to, I'll believe it when he actually goes on the record instead of repeatedly leaking what he plans to say.

    Sondland must have lawyered up and been told to make sure everybody knows it was Trump and Rudy.   This is the opening  statement that was leaked/whatever

    US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland was directed by President Donald Trump to work with Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine, he told Congress on Thursday, and was left with a choice: Abandon efforts to bolster a key strategic alliance or work to satisfy the demands of the President's personal lawyer.

    Sondland said he wasn't aware until "much later" that Giuliani's agenda might have included an effort to "prompt the Ukrainians" to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter and to involve the Ukrainians in the President's campaign, according to his opening statement, which was obtained by CNN in advance of the deposition.

    Quote

    "Based on the President's direction, we were faced with a choice: We could abandon the goal of a White House meeting for President Zelensky, which we all believed was crucial to strengthening U.S.-Ukrainian ties and furthering long-held U.S. foreign policy goals in the region; or we could do as President Trump directed and talk to Mr. Giuliani to address the President's concerns," Sondland said in his opening statement. 

    Quote

    "We chose the latter path, which seemed to all of us -- Secretary (Rick) Perry, Ambassador (Kurt) Volker, and myself -- to be the better alternative," Sondland continued. "But I did not understand, until much later, that Mr. Giuliani's agenda might have also included an effort to prompt the Ukrainians to investigate Vice President Biden or his son or to involve Ukrainians, directly or indirectly, in the President's 2020 reelection campaign."

    Quote

    "I was not on that July 25, 2019 call and I did not see a transcript of that call until September 25, 2019, when the White House publicly released it," Sondland said. "None of the brief and general call summaries I received contained any mention of Burisma or former Vice President Biden, nor even suggested that President Trump had made any kind of request of President Zelensky."

    Out of most of the people around this little scandal, he arguably has the most to lose financially.

    Wait til they start watching stupid ass videos on youtube.  Still don't get why my son loves to watch videos of other kids playing with toys.  

    Oh, that's already happened.

    AND IT FUCKING PISSES ME OFF.

    If I let them, they would watch those fucking YouTube videos for hours.  And some of those kids now have their own branded toy lines in the stores.

    Anytime we are near Anna's Toy Depot, thanks to it being featured on one of those YouTube kid channels.   I mean, Anna's Toy Depot is a cool store, but they want to go because on of those kids, who is based out of Austin, likes to visit it.

    They are all in, for sure.

    They are going to fight this, vote for Trump and then cheat like heck during the election, if the numbers don't support them.

    They will fight against this, but whether they vote for Trump depends, in large part, on the polling data.

    And, more importantly, whether Pence is implicated.  If Pence is skating clear of this, don't think they won't ditch Trump, prop up Pence, and then tell the Trumpkins "support the reelection of President Pence, or else you will get President Warren who will take your healthcare away and raise your taxes" and probably toss in comments that Warren would be listening to AOC/Bernie/etc.

    I suspect many Senate Republicans would love to have Pence as President right about now - he would give them everything they want, and he wouldn't be fucking up their deals and making them defend his dumbass actions.

    Keeping Rudy in my dead pool.

    Sondland's testimony today isn't going to be pretty for Rudy, but I don't see Rudy offing himself - he's too much of a coward, and he still believes he is in the right.

    The Senate Republicans and their Major are pushing the "this is a witch-hunt" narrative quite strongly. Perhaps the numbers they have via Parscale are showing this is working for them. Their base is strong and immovable, even though the numbers are climbing for public support of impeachment, once the Senate votes and wins on the President's behalf, they (the Senate and Trump's base) will carry on business as usual. I don't know that an avalanche of criminal evidence could do anything at this point. I'm wavering between the HIC wrapping up the inquiry and voting or waiting until the Mazar's documents are released.

    I think what's being pushed by the Senate Republicans is an attempt to avoid them having to vote on it - the best scenario for Senate Republicans is to never have to go on the record supporting Trump/Rudy by way of having to vote on the impeachment.
