He's such a fucking pussy. Do it you pussy. Fucking nut up and DO IT. At this point I want to see the people who are in charge of stopping this asshole actually do their jobs. If not, oh well, we had a good run.

Aw man. Perry was able to be the shining star in this admin for being just dumb instead of dumb and corrupt. But eventually, our incompetence catches up with us all.
Surprised it took this long.

I'm not sure I would go so far as to say constitutional crisis. But it will present a fairly juicy question of presidential power. And I'm a bit wary of how that comes out at the Supreme Court, not because they're pro-Trump, I just don't know how they come out on presidential power. I'm going to re-read the Shane article posted above. All of the presidents since Clinton have been pretty pro-executive and I don't recall a bunch of discussion on justices' views on that. It's not a clearly partisan issue.
I'll obviously defer to you as a lawyer, but how would this not be a constitutional crisis? The president ignoring the supreme court? Â

Guess MJ's military service doesn't count for Cornyn as "public service." Hope she uses that quote.

Aside from Beauty and the Beast, and mainly because of Emma Watson, these re-makes all suck. Come up with new ideas Disney.

More on Epstein's mysterious wealth. That, and Deutsche Bank can't seem to stay out of mobster news
Â
from the article:
"The origins of Jeffrey Epstein’s financial empire remain a mystery to even billionaires. But the investor’s former Wall Street mentor has one theory about how Epstein amassed his fortune: Fraud.
In a phone interview with Observer, Steven Hoffenberg alleged Epstein participated in a Ponzi scheme the two ran together in the 1980s, before using the ill-gotten gains to launch his investment company with the help of financial loans from Deutsche Bank.
[...]
Hoffenberg oversaw Towers Financial, but was sentenced to 20 years in jail in 1997 for defrauding clients out of $450 million. Although Epstein was never charged in the case, a lawsuit filed last year by former Towers investors lists the financier as “an uncharged co-conspirator,” and alleges he “knowingly and intentionally utilized funds he fraudulently diverted and obtained from this massive Ponzi scheme for his own personal use to support a lavish lifestyle.” Â
[...]
“The problem I see is that Hoffenberg waited some 20 years to come forward with these new allegations, and he may have reduced his 18-year sentence by implicating Epstein in the Ponzi scheme back in 1994 but didn’t do so.”
Hoffenberg said he did not tell prosecutors because he pleaded guilty at the time, but later came forward because he believed Epstein should pay restitution to Towers investors. Hoffenberg also told Observer that Deutsche Bank provided significant financial loans to Epstein. Â
“His lead bank is Deutsche Bank, Germany, that runs the lead on his financial trust company. They run the platform in the trading of the currencies for Epstein and with Epstein. He’s never disclosed to the investors that provide the money to Deutsche Bank his true legacy, that’s securities fraud,” said Hoffenberg.  “And that makes the government available to seize all his money, literally all his money. He’s not going to be able to use his money because it’s got to go to a restitution fund because it’s tainted money.”
[...]
Long considered an investment platform for the rich and powerful, Deutsche Bank has been plagued with scandals since the 2008 Financial Crisis. In 2017, the bank reached a $7.2 billion settlement with the U.S. Justice Department over allegedly misleading investors on mortgage-backed securities, and was later fined $630 million for alleged involvement in Russian money laundering.
Last week, Deutsche Bank announced it would cut 18,000 jobs and downsize its investment operations."
Â
That account by Hoffenberg of why he went to the pen for 20 while Epstein skated is...incomplete. Probably about being addicted to breathing.
Deutsche Bank appears to have been a primary conduit for Russian mob money finding its way into the pockets, via loans, of Americans in positions of power who keep doing things favorable to Putin and his mafia state. Shady loans to Epstein, Trump, and Kushner for starters.

Follow. The. Money.

It's mainly cover for her members. She's protecting them and taking the heat for their unwillingness to impeach. She doesn't have the votes and doesn't want to whip her members over impeachment.
For now.
This sounds like bullshit. She better prove me wrong.

That's a pretty damn convincing takedown. I don't discourage anyone from being vocally furious about what's happening, or not happening, as it's warranted. As an aside, where are the protests the scale of what we saw after the inauguration ? I know the impetus and energy is there and ready to go off.
We can go round and round over this, and I've mentioned it before - the GOP Senate should not be allowed to be arbiters of Trump because they are complicit. They are aiding and abetting his overt corruption, abuse, and unaccounted for criminality. Giving GOP Senate that platform to elevate both Trump and themselves by granting him a reprieve could have terrible consequences especially if it happens too soon with time for our collective short attention spans to move on.
Another reason for Pelosi to keep her powder dry is to wait, within a finite window, for a big legal matter to break. If something big happens with the NRA/RNC or other RNC linked operations on the foreign cash laundering front - something that pins McConnell and other prominent GOP - that instant is when you go scorched earth on Trump's ass. A reeling Congressional GOP would be a huge help to neutralize their ability to excuse Trump. Absent a double barreled blow to GOP in Congress, I could tolerate waiting until around late October for the House to go full bore on impeachment. A lot of relatively behind the scenes progress through the courts on testimony and documents should occur between now and then setting up an expansive all-out push of which the Mueller report would only be a part.
I agree with this simply because it is the only possibility I think exists from a congressional standpoint. If you allow the senate to find him not guilty, the public will take that to the bank. Therefore, House must indict, senate cannot be allowed to render a verdict.Â
If this isn’t Nancy’s plan then we are truly fucked. Probably truly fucked anyway, but this is the only shot she has.  This is how fucked the system is right now. And it pisses me the fuck offÂ

Edit: House must IMPEACH, not indict

It’s the deranged MAGA cult. The orange baby pouts and whines, brain washed people get upset, and fight / yell / scream / and complain for whatever trump is fighting for.
Â
remember, we actually had right wing idiots rooting for other countries to beat the US women’s soccer team because of one woman on the team. Conservatives actually rooted for countries who are more liberal than us! Imagine that!
Â
these people are instigators, they’re disrupters, they’re negative and angry all the time.  They don’t give a shit about facts, science, precedent or reason. They just want to win, get their way, shove it everyone else’s face, and scream MAGA while doing it.
Â
what a bunch of idiots.
And when they catch the car they won’t know what to do. The look on their faces as we all burn to the ground is going to be one of “wha?”  The rest of us will be in a state of “I told you so”, but I’m going to give the T2 thumbs up while going into the liquid metal.Â

That illustrates exactly the problem with twitter. Cultists and morons take anything tweeted by their god as gospel. Fuck context or facts or anything. It's a direct line of bullshit directly into their stupid veins. Who needs any other medium to inform them of reality?

Ah nice. Still, he needs to articulate it better for the general public. There's time of course, but he seems to be harping on it right now and for those who aren't going to click that link and read the full thing, distill it down to a couple of sentences.

Donald Trump 2019
in Cloak Room

This. I saw it yesterday and my immediate thought was, "nope, still too much for most people to deal with."
