  1. Sweet mother of god, never ever listen to callers into C-span....an absolute shit show of stereotypes who are pro-Trump. Why bother to call in just to say in a stupid Alabama accent, "no one can ever point out where Trump lies"  or "Schiff made all this up" etc etc. Fucking hell....very bad for my blood pressure.

  2. I don't get it either except for the speculation of getting it over with before primary campaigning ramps up and Dems gotta get out to campaign? Stupid though. No one will even have this shit on their minds come next November if it's over this year, and we need the court's rejecting absolute immunity to play out with the Mf'ers at the top being forced to testify.

  3. JFC. Let it all come out. Then the press will be all "6 Things We Learned from Lev Parnas"  instead of page-sized headlines of the corrupt Republicans questioning witnesses when they're in on the same exact fucking corruption they're meant to investigate. So it still won't matter. I'm so on the ledge.  I'm embarrassed that I had a legit "We Got Him" moment when Gordan Sondland testified......fuck

  4. And the Devin Nunes Ukraine stuff needs to play out a little. Very few Americans have even heard about that shit yet. 

    And Regarding Rudy, or We Need to Talk about Rudy...whichever movie you prefer. Is there not probable cause at this point that he's committed a number of crimes? Indictments, please.

     

    Sorry I've had too much coffee today

  5. What is it exactly that "independents" or "the public" heard that turned them further away from impeachment during the hearings??

    It's horseshit, and the Dems need to start aggressively controlling the messaging NOW to get the undisputed bottom line of the corruption that's been exposed front and center to the public.

    Get the ruling on Monday about WH absolute immunity and take things further to get Pompeo, Bolton, Mulvaney .... it doesn't have to drag on for months, but it's too soon to draw up the report and impeachment articles when those guys almost certainly have explosive testimony -- or have to take the Fifth -- or commit perjury.

    The demographic tide will wash over them.  

    Also, I don't think Roberts is a safe Republican vote when it comes to voter disenfranchisement, civil rights rollbacks, women's rights, election results etc...

     

    Wait, didn't Roberts write the majority opinion in rolling back the Voting Rights Act on the basis that state governments aren't really engaging in racist practices anymore? And joined the majority in saying the fed courts have no role in stopping gerrymandering? Just as his pre-SCOTUS writings show, he's an elitist, arrogant, pro-inequality hack. I don't trust him to reliably take any position other than the old white dude-system-preserving one.

  7. I can try to understand, that if I were raised in a strictly religious viewpoint and raised not to question, I'd submit myself to all these strictures that go against my instincts for freedom and self-agency. But, if the religious figure goes directly against the teachings of Jesus?  

    And even putting aside the substance of what he says, this is what blows my mind: these naive (possibly desperate?) people also have to be TERRIBLE judges of character. Perhaps willfully so?  I mean, Osteen is one grade above Robert Fucking Tilton. If you can watch him for more than a couple of minutes and not see he's obviously a slick, oily, unctuous charlatan, how do you tie your shoes in the morning??  I could see through this dickbag by age 12. Are his followers all around boomer age?

    So Lev Parnas' attorney is on Twitter to saying Lev has "hard evidence" against Trump.  Can't figure out how to attach Tweets, so here's a link

    I hope he doesn't get transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Facility's Epstein Suite.

    Excerpt: taking advice from Fox news "personality" Pete Hegseth rather than Dep't of Defense officials, to own the libs:

    Senior defense officials, who learned about Trump’s plan shortly before Hegseth’s announcement, were convinced that Trump was being fed bad information. Two officials said one document that reached the Oval Office stated that the Afghans killed in Lorance’s case were “gunning” their motorcycle at the soldiers — a point often repeated by conservative pundits. Other soldiers testified at Lorance’s trial that the men killed were a couple hundred yards away and not on a motorcycle when the Americans opened fire.

    During the meeting, Trump shared the points Hegseth was making, according to one current and one former administration official. The defense officials tried to correct what they saw as misinformation, the officials said.

  10. What polls are credibly showing that support for impeachment is going down?  That would be shocking to me -- are they watching this??  This is stunning, compelling stuff with the evidence all on one side. The Dems largely look competent and professional, and the R's are a disgraceful, embarrassing clown show. So what gives?

    Yeah, that was actually something some talking head was saying after the Sondland testimony- whether a group of Senators would go visit the White House like they did in the Nixon case, and that would be something to look for.  Pretty much the entire panel agreed it was unlikely.  

    If it was something like that, my guess is they are negotiating for a different game plan, like accepting that it was improper, but not to the level of removal, and then move towards censure instead of removal.  I can't imagine they would even approach Trump about stepping down.  I can't imagine Romney would be involved in a PR defense strategy meeting.  And I think Grassley is pissed about trying to out the whistleblower.  With those two there, it seems more like a negotiation than a planning meeting. 

    Fuck this. What the fuck good is a censure, anyway? That would literally be letting him get away with treason and all manner of abuse of power, and encouraging more.
