  1. yeah ....didn't his medic buddy admit on cross that he testified he was the one who killed the captured teen Isis fighter because he didn't want to get Gallagher in trouble?

    Jury acquitted anyway. 

    Also he shot a girl in the stomach to own the libs

    Let the celebration of evil continue

    We do that all the time is clearly referencing holding aid until other policy requests or actions are considered or agreed to, not specifically an investigation into Hunter Biden. (Less questionable, but not too different from Joe Biden not giving $1B in aid until the Ukraine prosecutor NOT looking into Burisma corruption was fired) And he’s right, presidents are allowed to hold aid, and actually expected to, until concerns of corruption are resolved.

    FIFY.   Just to belabor it in case you missed the previous posts.  But you will repeat your same tired, false line no matter what, no doubt.

    the courts will stop him two years from april, pending appeal.  everything is fine.

    yep. There was some group..... forget who it was..... who had a slogan of Justice Delayed is Justice Denied. I think they were onto something.

    Imagine enforcement and eventual compliance and then the ability to respond to a trove of documents following a June decision even IF it goes against Trump...the SCOTUS majority knows exactly what it's doing. 

    Scoot over on the ledge.

    Trump administration considering nominating a former chemical industry shill to lead the Consumer Product Safety Commission:

    Is it Irwin Mainway? Obvious choice for this administration. 

     

    Damnit, Underdog beat me to it.

  5. I don't give too many shits about which D defeats Trump, but just curious about what the plan is for the entire displaced insurance industry employee base if they're actually eliminated? 

  6. Didn't think I could hate an AG more than Ashcroft and then Gonzales. 

    But Barr doesn't feel he even has to hide his bias and corruption, apparently. Unprecedented but sadly, right in line with the M.O. he's always shown.

    What in the ever-loving fuck is she blathering about?

    I'm sure it's the well-tested trope that anyone in the academic field who isn't on the R team is an elitist, ivory tower snob, looking down on us regular working folks rabble rabble

    I enjoyed Lino as my con law prof.  Great guy on a personal level.  Standard issue, oversimplified Thomas Sowell type anti-affirmative action stance.

    Best story he told was when he was woken up and congratulated on being nominated to the Supreme Court.   The caller had mixed up Lino Graglia with Nino Scalia.

    eh I was not so keen on him as a person, when he'd make reference during class to "the blacks" as some monolithic group and other such crap, acting like a skinny I-talian Archie Bunker.

  9. Excellent analysis here: 

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/trumps-supporters-are-displaying-the-will-to-win-democrats-are-not/ar-BBXOAWw

     

    excerpt:

    The House Intelligence Committee’s forceful report addressed two issues: Trump’s abuse of power to extort a bribe from Ukraine, and the subsequent obstruction of justice to conceal the extortion.

    The Intelligence Committee’s hearings powerfully dramatized the first of these issues. The Judiciary Committee’s hearings should have dramatized the second.

    The minority complains that the American people have not heard from first-hand witnesses to the extortion. This is not true. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman listened to the July call in which Trump delivered the extortion message directly to the president of Ukraine. Ambassador Gordon Sondland led the extortion project. Ambassador Bill Taylor witnessed the extortion in real time. Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was the extortion ring’s first target.

    Still, important witnesses have heeded the president’s order not to testify. Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani led the conspiracy; Energy Secretary Rick Perry participated in it; National-Security Adviser John Bolton tried to stop it. All refused to testify. The process of enforcing subpoenas upon them all will be slow.

    At a minimum, however, the Judiciary Committee could have dramatized their refusal: Set the table. Arrange the chairs. Fold the name cards. Then read aloud the questions that should have been asked of them, if they had not obeyed the president’s order to obstruct justice.

    This.  Maybe I am biased towards the Dems at this point but I swear they come across as intelligent whether you agree or disagree with their views.  The Republicans come across as morons.  Like I wouldn't hire them for the lowest level position at my company dumb.

    Dumb is the new black (trend, not skin). There's no shame in being dumb and venal anymore.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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
