thanks op.

Notice the last couple threads didn't get downvoted to oblivion? Gotta keep up the fight against the trolls!

So the other shoes we have to look forward to dropping this week are the Epstein unsealing and the second tier DoJ Treason Team pressing for the illegal Census question.

Has Rachel announced who the mystery company is? How many million is the fine up to?

We have Mueller on deck on the 17th, but what about Felix? Has he recovered yet?

What about Felix?

Many thanks OP!

Pres Bone Spurs having a celebrated 44% approval-his highest- when Obama was the 44th Prez is irony at its finest.

When Mueller testifies, these threads will pick up speed.

The new requirement to register before posting seems to be keeping the trolls away. IMHO, that seems to be a large part of the slowdown in the thread. It is very pleasant. Now hopefully we’ll have what to post about this week.

That Twitter link isn't loading for me.

Frankly, Facebook and Twitter are part of the problem.

Zuckerberg and others knew. Profit and political ideology "trumped" ethics and responsibility.

If Trump is directly implicated in the Epstein scandal, then there will be Senate Republicans, and donors like the Kochs and the Mercers who'll turn on him. The main thing is that McConnell could be faced with a rebellion that will cause him to either give up his leadership position or change his tune and get on board with impeachment. The media could be very helpful on this, if they chose. Because it will be the media that impacts public opinion, and brings pressure to bear on donors, voters and Congress.

They can pretend they're talking about "E-mails!" And fry Trump and anyone in his orbit....like Lindsey, who will very likely be among the first to jump ship. Just remember. In all these cases, they already know shit the media is just now discovering and publishing . Bet Trump is ripping Fox up because of their coverage of Epstein. I think Barr & Acosta hoped to limit the damage to Epstein, and kill it, but it is not going away. And honestly, this is the media's wet dream. A Sex scandal involving powerful, famous people? Sheee-it.

R13, everything you say makes sense, but I have trouble reconciling how Barr did not kill this investigation like he has done the Mueller investigation.

So is the consensus that Trump Model Management was in cahoots with Epstein and/or trafficking in girls as well? Birds of a feather?

[quote]If Trump is directly implicated in the Epstein scandal, then there will be Senate Republicans, and donors like the Kochs and the Mercers who'll turn on him.

I have no idea why you would think they would do that. Nothing in their history with Drumpf has indicated they'll ever abandon him.

[quote]I have no idea why you would think they would do that

Bear in mind that they're politicians first and last. They're going to protect themselves first. If Trump becomes too toxic, if they feel that supporting him would endanger their own futures, many of them would feel free to turn against him.

AP: AP FACT CHECK: Trump distorts census, Obama-Biden record

Again, R17, nothing they have done has shown that anything would be"too toxic."

Good thread title, OP. That entire family is unwanted by anyone with discernment, integrity, and intelligence.

There isn't even one good apple, is there, r20?

Mercers? Kochs? Adelson? A bunch of others?

It's all about corporate profits, access to cheap migrant workers, raping the environments, not paying taxes, supporting voter suppression and tampering, deregulating anything in their way, and appointing pro-corporate/big banking judges that are hands-off on monopolies and their exploiting practices.

Bones are tossed to the Trump base that are anti-choice, pro-guns, and pro-discrimination in the name of their "religious freedom". It is Gorsuch overload.

Trump & McConnell have delivered for the mega-donors.

At least the SDNY was good enough to arrest Jeffery Epstein over the weekend so that it didn't overshadow Mueller's testimony on Wednesday.

MEDIAite: Trump Posts Fake Ronald Reagan Quote Predicting a Trump Presidency

AP: AP: Federal grand jury probing GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy

I think it is a pretty simple message to get some of his supporters to reject Trump. You've been sold a bill of goods..that tax cut went to corporations. What did they do with it, bought back stock and lined their pockets. You've been had and you continue to be had by this grifter administration.

Fight over Saudi Arabia policy

The Clinton's probably only accepted plane rides from him.

Maybe the Republicans have decided to take down Trump in a way that doesn’t implicate them and they think Epstein is the best option.

R28 Doesn't matter - I love Bill & Hillary, but if either of them is shown to be a client of Epstein/have had sex with underage children, then they need to go to jail.

Please please please let Trump be implicated in the Epstein sex ring

R29 brilliant!

Fart Blossom has something up his sleeve.

Meanwhile, Democrats and the media are focused on Biden's comments about busing in 1971.

Washington Post: House Republicans to strip Rep. Amash of committee assignment after he quits GOP

AP: House panel releases written answers from ex-Trump official

****

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Judiciary Committee says a former Trump administration official who was a vital witness in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation was blocked by the White House from answering more than 200 of its questions.

The Democratic-led panel on Monday released written responses provided by Annie Donaldson, who served as chief of staff to former White House counsel Don McGahn.

Mueller interviewed Donaldson as he examined potential obstruction of justice by Trump. Mueller's report repeatedly references handwritten notes Donaldson took of key moments.

Donaldson agreed to answer questions in writing from the Judiciary Committee. But the panel notes that for more than 200 questions, she replied that the White House had instructed her not to answer because of "constitutionally-based Executive Branch confidentiality interests that are implicated."

Thanks for all you’re doing, OP, really!

Sorry to be that guy, but it appears the link to “previous thread for reference” actually links to two threads ago (109) instead of the previous thread (110).

Well, Lindsey has traveled to South Carolina with Wiliam Barr. This follows a weekend of "golf" with DJT.

You don't suppose........

^Barr would gobble down 3/4 of that spread in the pic.

Then those Barr farts

The FCI could be a future home for those two.

r43 ?

I assume he means Federal Correctional Institution.

Oh yes. And yes they do.

Somebody above asked about Felix Sater. I just read he's testifying in a closed door session tomorrow.

Hope they release the transcript.

White House blocks Annie Donaldson from answering more than 200 questions by House investigators

r50 And that is the "give up" trolls. Not saying 50 is a troll but it is right to push the Dems but understand they aren't just sitting by idly. They have frickin' Mueller testifying next week. I'm sure a lot of their prep is going into that.

R50: "Yes, with all the bad things that are going on, with the darkness falling around us, it's important to blame the person most responsible: Jerry Nadler. Not Trump, certainly not Mitch McConnell, but Jerry Nadler."

Not to beat a dead horse with the Epstein situation, but Cuomo signed the tax release bill today. Did he also sign the double jeopardy reform bill and they just aren’t publishing it? I don’t know why’d he sign one and not the other.

My understanding is that Epstein is in NY a lot. Why’d SDNY wait to charge him until now? Kiddie diddling across state lines is a federal Mann Act violation. Kiddie diddling within a state is a state crime. Is the timing of the charge vis a vis the change to NYS law significant?

R51 / R52 I posted that tweet because the Washington Post link doesn't work on this site for some reason

r53 You may be on to something there. The timing is everything.

is it possible the SDNY started investigating Epstein once Acosta became confirmed as Labor Secretary?

r56 I think they have always had a case. Maybe the double jeopardy issue got in the way. Things changed quickly and now they have him.

For Christ sake, IDIOT! The Clinton's had nothing to do with a sex ring! Some of you are so retarded!

The thing is...Trumps modeling agency, now that is something to look into.

unfortunately Fox is trying to make it seem like the Clintons are part of the scandal

was reading twitter...Laura Ingraham on her show was talking about a "discrepancy" in how many times Clinton may have flown with Epstein vs. what he said but NO MENTION of Epstein's friendship with Trump or connection to Barr or even Acosta

just fucking pathetic

What do you expect from fux noise, r60? They are nothing but lickspittle state propaganda and nobody with a functioning brain cell pays attention to their endless lies.

[quote] Why’d SDNY wait to charge him until now?

Perhaps because Dershowitz and the Miami Herald won the lawsuit to force open the Epstein records. Time for SDNY to CYA.

In light of the District Court’s failure to conduct an individualized review of the sealed materials, it is necessary to do so now. We believe the District Court is best situated to conduct this review. The District Court can directly communicate with the parties, and can, therefore, more swiftly and thoroughly consider particular objections to unsealing specific materials. Relatedly, the District Court can obtain the parties’ assistance in effecting any necessary redactions, and in notifying any outside parties whose privacy interests might be implicated by the unsealing. Accordingly, we remand the cause to the District Court to conduct such a particularized review and unseal all documents for which the presumption of public access outweighs any countervailing privacy interests.

The Mercer's have already pulled out campaign funding for Trump 2020.

Miss Lindseed thanks Trump daily.

Miss Linseed lol

so congress will get Trump's NYS returns...should be some juicy stuff.

At least Amash has a backbone...

Held in criminal contempt? That won't even get them an ankle bracelet. What is the point? Evil is winning everyday in Washington.

[quote]Evil is winning everyday in Washington.

Anti-Trump pundits like to say that "our institutions have held" in the face of Trump's all-encompassing villainy.

But it increasingly feels to me like this is not the case.

Yahoo News is reporting that the Seth Rich conspiracy theory -- which Fox News vigorously promoted -- was planted by Russia's foreign intelligence service.

There are already 2,400+ reactions to that article. I can only imagine their content: you see, the deplorables still get their news from Yahoo! (and AOL, that's where their email addresses still are in 2019) so they must all be up in arms. I can only imagine the level of cognitive dissonance it causes in their twisted little minds: "Fake news! Fake news! Fake news! I'm boycotting Yahoo! from now on and will get my email address from Fox News!"

Oh, BTW, good luck getting that contract employment using those domain names. If I were working in HR today, any CV showing an aol, yahoo or, God forbid, foxnews email address (is there such a thing though?) would go straight in the trash can. Criteria #1 not fulfilled.

[quote]Yahoo News is reporting that the Seth Rich conspiracy theory -- which Fox News vigorously promoted -- was planted by Russia's foreign intelligence service.

*GASP*

it's downright infuriating that Fox and Hannity have NEVER been held accountable for pushing that disgusting conspiracy theory. I hope this story blows the fuck up big time.

and the way the mainstream media only briefly mentioned the scandal before letting it go. Fox should be bashed every fucking day for their disgraceful conduct. They have lied to and brainwashed millions of Americans

It ought to concern everyone that Fox has de facto become an organ of Russian Intelligence's Disinformation Campaign. And it didn't happen overnight.

The reason I posited way back in this thread or some related thread that maybe the GOP Congress would turn on Trump if it can be shown he was part of the Epstein filth, is because I saw how they all (or most of them) shunned Roy Moore. The Epstein stuff, if presented correctly by the media....meaning in graphic detail, will repel most voters, and anyone in Congress who doesn't feel the full weight of public outrage is nuts. I'd love it if there are photos of Trump with some little girl who eventually went public with rape charges.

so what do we think about Tom Steyer running? He is filthy rich and can run endless ads etc

I was a fan of his before since he keeps pushing for impeachment but now he seems insincere

DL, today, July 9, is a very special day. Celebrate with your tributes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDSEY GRAHAM!!🎈🌈🎂💖

Nobody wants Tom Steyer and we could use his $$ to support the nominee. He's an asshat and his candidacy is going nowhere.

Well, that didn’t last long. Apparently Trump has gotten Barr to un-recuse himself in the Epstein case. I wonder WHY?

More on Barr un-recusal.

Barr probably wants to destroy his personal Epstein pics that were seized. Just speculating!

Trump knows there are pictures of himself with teenage girls.

CNN: Appeals court rules Trump can't block users on Twitter

I hate the GOP they are a cabal of genuine monsters now.

AP: House intelligence panel interviewing Russia-born executive

ABC: Trump attorney says president's legal team not preparing for an impeachment battle

Barr is Trump's point man for a dictatorship.

Why has Barr had a career-long obsession with creating an all-powerful President? What a bizarre goal.

It was barely mentioned. Sometimes I hate CNN and MSNBC.

Jared threatened Qatar but no one will mention that he sold protection to Qatar. Their leader is at the White house this afternoon.

As if Trump will unblock anyone. Who will force him too? There are no consequences for anything he does,

Steele was interviewed and found credible

I wonder if this story will get more attention now especially since Fox has demonized this wonderful man

Kyle Griffin:

Michael Flynn will not testify against his former biz partner because prosecutors no longer believe his version of events, WaPo reports. The government will now seek admission of Flynn's prior statements into evidence as the words of a co-conspirator.

so does Flynn lose any of his plea deal?

[quote]so does Flynn lose any of his plea deal?

WaPo: "The decision by prosecutors could imperil Flynn’s ability to avoid incarceration for lying to the FBI unless he is pardoned by Trump."

Flynn is a fucking traitor, full stop.

Strip him of his rank, his pension and hang him. In front of that idiot crotch dropping of his.

Traitors should hang.

Happy Birthday Miss Lindzey!

Epstein, Acosta, Barr, Flynn . . . and more to come?

All hell breaking loose

Trump's pressuring Barr to unrecuse himself in the Epstein case is a CLEAR AND UNEQUIVOCAL STATEMENT OF HIS OWN GUILT!!! We may well need to revolt to get this DICKtator out of the White House.

R81, or does Barr want to make sure none of his FATHER's peccadilloes were recorded?

It appears that Barr's father, another Donald, hired Epstein to work at a hoity-toity private NYC High School and it appears everyone left under dodgy circumstances.

Who hires a pedophile to work in a private HS who didn't graduate from college, who had no teaching credentials?

WHO?

These Mueller threads are a breath of fresh air. There are so many trolls on this site in other threads; many of these trolls are right wing in nature. Any other thread political in nature is filled with right wing Russian noise.

I wonder how much blackmail material Epstein has...?

r101, the myriad of recordings found in Epstein's safe were labeled "x with y".

It is documented and catalogued.

Barr overseeing federal investigations of Republicans will be squelched, and Democrats blamed and prosecuted where possible. Barr should be chased out of Washington waddling like a duck being pursued by a fox.

Michael Cohen is made the fall guy for Trump's shit. Sure Miçhael deserved consequences for his illegal deeds. But Trump, Jared, Junior, Ivanka, and a bunch of other assholes escaping justice is a travesty. Watch, ole Roger Stone will slide.

Then McConnell and Elaine Chao will not have to account.

I support the impeach now contingent. He won't be removed, but lawmakers need to go on record.

Mueller will have to sit there and be berated by Jim Jordan and company, and listen to 'investigate the investigators' bullshit. Fox will treat Jordan, Gaetz, Gohmert, Biggs, Nunes, and Meadows as heroes. Then have Miss Lindsey on Hannity for "I told you so".

so if Flynn's plea deal ends up being terminated doesn't that mean all his testimony is thrown into question (unless it was backed up by solid evidence and other witnesses)? That would then allow right wingers to cast more doubt on the Mueller report.

This is such a fucking mess. I HATE REPUBS WITH A PASSION

Conservatives have always been rotten to the core and did anything to win. Why do you think the Dems were so successful for so long? The coalition of Southern fiscally liberal/socially conservative and Northern fiscally liberal/socially moderate-to- liberal worked until the Dems did the courageous and right thing with Civil Rights. The Southern conservative Dems were ruthless. This is your modern day GOP.

R105, Flynn's malfeasance and lies are amply corroborated in the Mueller Report. The collapse of his plea agreement, and desperate angling for a pardon, simply confirms his guilt.

Why are all these people being traitors???? WTF has happened to this country? What the holy hell has happened?

r108, The Russians manipulated Republican greed for power and hate of black and brown Americans to, in effect, purchase one half of the American Government.

In Russian circles you cannot swing a cat without hitting a Russian.

Democrats, on the other hand, were constantly diverted into cleanup for Republican policies.

It is a rare Democrat with Russian ties.

You mean in Republican circles R109.

I don't expect Mueller to deliver anything. Ari was showing clips of his previous testimony and he is very lawyerly and won't answer questions.

r110 If True, then his legacy is one of a coward and when his country needed him most, he demurred. We'll see.

And I am sick of Dems having to clean up GOP messes. It is never ending. Maybe we should just split as a country. That way, the delplorables can just live with their policies and clean them up themselves.

don't forget we still don't know a year later why a delegation of congressional repubs went to Moscow last July 4th holiday....it's been kept secret

Putin/Russia has had a stranglehold on the Middle East for years. His "clients are Assad/Syria and Iran. For years. He created and or exploited the unrest there, in fact was probably engineering the huge influx of refugees flooding Europe from the Middle East and Africa, so he could destabilize the continent and go apeshit on the anti immigrant Extreme Right Nationalists. Weaken the EU and NATO. He couldn't succeed without starting shit in the U.S. too. We've been dealing with the invisible hand of Russia in the Middle East since the 70's.

Would someone please swing my cat in Russian or Republican circles?

I’m suffering from Epstein-Barr Syndrome.

Well SOMEBODY has to say it.

McGrath chances in KY?

[quote]McGrath chances in KY?

Steve Kornacki seems to have doubts:

r117 Well, that is a no-brainer. No one said it will be easy at all. It will be ugly as hell but she is a fucking fighter pilot and tough. We don't know what the variables will be by the time the election rolls around. Pres Bone Spurs winning KY is a given. However, enough suburban white women may split their votes to give him a check.

I'm not sure how she would fare if the election was close or not. Not close could signal such a disgust with him down ticket races may be won by Dems in huge numbers OR voters may want to throw him out by keep their GOP reps as a check on the new Dem Prez.

How is this Epstein business so shocking to the pundits yet DL has been talking about this a lot over at least this past year? They act shocked.

The DL posters in the Mueller threads need jobs as pundits in DC.

Overturning Obamacare may destroy the GOP since they don't have a plan.

All the bitching and they never came up with anything. Almost incomprehensible!

Can the Santaria practitioner that posted her bind or curse these people I mean is it "dark" magic if the people your casting spells on are evil?

[quote] in fact was probably engineering the huge influx of refugees flooding Europe from the Middle East and Africa, so he could destabilize the continent and go apeshit on the anti immigrant Extreme Right Nationalists. Weaken the EU and NATO.

yeah that was Putin.

NYT: Justice Dept. Watchdog Is Preparing to Deliver Verdict on the Russia Investigation

God knows I hated Reagan with a passion, but I actually have some sympathy for the man Rolling in His Grave seeing what has become of today's Republican party selling out to Russia- absolutely unbelievable!

Wtf happened to the Franklin Graham pool boy nude pic scandal? The media can’t even scandal like they used to.

I want more MSNBC & CNN coverage of the Fox "News"/Seth Rich conspiracy theory created by Russia story. That needs to be known by everyone. Unfortunately there have been so many developments today it's being overshadowed

When will they admit that Putin is also behind the social media campaign for the T cult?

As said before, Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins are "teaming up" to fundraise and campaign for their Senate re-election efforts in 2020. Lindsey enjoys lobster bisques while Susan partakes of mustard based barbeque.

Maine will be seeing a lot of Lindsey, and South Carolina will get to know Susan Collins

Fiddledeedee bonds with being 'concerned'.

I don't see how that helps either. They seem scared and this should be the narrative. They can't stand on their own.

I have a feeling the public is less interested in the Epstein scandal than the media is. They're hypng the shit out of it, but if they don't name some celebrities soon, people are going to lose interest. It will not have any political impact on Trump with the general public unless something blatant and titillating is exposed.

r138 I wouldn't count on that. It is just another smelly log of shit on the fire of this guy for moderates.

The pundits discount T fatigue at their peril. No one wants 4 more years of this. He has jumped the shark.

Congress needs to file contempt charges on Barr, vote a "no confidence" resolution, demand he be impeached, do something. Nader and crew are incredibly slow, give requested witnesses multiple opportunities, and get bogged down in procedures and resistance. Stop letting Barr have control.

I would think that if you hosted a party at your "house" with an indicted sex trafficker and 28 "girls" that this would be a real big problem if you just happened to be president. I would certainly think it would be a huge problem for evangelicals.

So the British ambassador resigned. I've been wondering who leaked those emails. Amusing as they were, I doubt anyone leaking them to the Daily Fail was doing so as a good deed. Friend of Boris perhaps?

R148 You're probably on to something, because Boris has everything to gain if he wants to make a Trump-like UK.

I really hope the Dems push back on this narrative that the Dems have ignored the plight of "middle America" or the "hearthland" whatever the fuck that is supposed to be.

Since 2000, the Dems have really only had complete control of things for two years, 2009 and 2010. The GOP, OTOH, had complete control 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2017 and 2018.

When the Dems had complete control, they were saving us from an economy is complete meltdown in 2009. The Dems then gave us a stimulus, and actually did something about healthcare- ACA. Sadly, everyone hated until they loved it thanks for GOP and conservative smears and lies. They then lost the House in the midterms and all progress was halted.

What has the GOP done for the "heartland"? They gave, what, about 5 tax cuts for the rich and deregulation. Same old recipe of failed economic policies. We actually have an exploding deficit during a great economy. That is fucked up beyond belief.

So when the next debate happens, and the moderators ask about the great economy, they need to him back hard. We had a great 90's economy thanks solely to the Dems and their 1993 budget which was left unchanged until 2001. They need to point out how fiscally insane the GOP is. We have an exploding deficit under a booming economy thanks to their recklessness. We will not be able to spend our way out of another recession. The GOP has done nothing to help the average person. The Dems haven't have enough governing time to actually do much and when they did, they were cleaning up another GOP mess and actually doing something about healthcare. All the GOP will ever do is the same old tired, failed economic policies.

Got to get McTurtle & Chao out of Washington, DC.

This corruption is extraordinary. No more multiple cabinet posts for the Chinese Chao shipping dynasty.

r151 She had a smart answer on Jake Tapper yesterday about some comments she made about how she felt his election was like 9/11 and how she would relate to the KY voter.

She said he was so divisive and nasty. She fought for this country and hated to see what he was doing to it.

Also, she said she understood the motivation behind the T voter- they were frustrated- but McConnell has betrayed them by halting some things Pres Bone Spurs could have worked on with Dems like infrastructure. She said McC was all about politics and stood in the way of progress even the Dems could work on with Pres Bone Spurs.

Yeah, I know it is bullshit in a way but very deft at answering the question. Tapper tried to get her to say she was a pro-T Dem and she deftly dodged that (because obviously she is not) by saying she was there to get McC out so we could make progress.

She doesn't have a chance but it will make him spend lots of money.

---

A federal appeals court Wednesday sided with President Trump, dismissing a lawsuit claiming the president is illegally profiting from foreign and state government visitors at his luxury hotel in downtown Washington.

The unanimous ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit is a victory for the president in a novel case brought by the attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia involving anti-corruption provisions in the emoluments clauses of the U.S. Constitution.

The president is facing series of legal challenges related to his private business, including a separate lawsuit from Congressional Democrats. The emoluments clauses at issue in the 4th Circuit case were designed to prevent undue influence on government officials but have never been applied in court to a sitting president.

Of course. That is partly why no Republicans will stand up Trump. Because Russia has the goods on most of them and they poison and murder those who they can’t blackmail.

R157, it appears that they lost for lack of standing, not because the 4th Circuit endorsed Trump’s actions. More motions and appeal to follow.

Exactly, R159. Congress has a lawsuit on this very issue right now and I doubt any court will say they lack standing

“Something big was going to happen” was Trump’s pedophile sex pest friend Jeffrey Epstein being arrested. And there’s a LOT more to come, he says. The stuff you posted is yawnworthy and all part of Barr’s efforts to divert attention. Please try and keep up, Boris.

Oh and Boris, you can stop frantically posting this in all the threads:

BREAKING! Jeffrey Epstein Arrested In New York I don't believe Trump did anything with kids sexually, the Dems hated Trump, don't you think they would have used it in the campaign if they had any proof?

Multiple posts about “I know Trump wouldn’t molest kids” and saying that sure he likes to grab pussies as if that was somehow ok.

He always wins..

Until he....doesn't.

The media continues to be obsessed what Lindsey Graham has to say on anything. The other 99 Senators don't have an opinion on the British Ambassador resigning his post and Trump's tweets about it? Lindsey blames the media, certainly not Trump.

McConnell's polling sucks. Kansas elected an open lesbian less than two years ago and there's literally a book titled "What's the Matter with Kansas?" concerning their backwards idiocy when it comes to politics. Women have kicked ass up and down the ticket for the last two years. I think she does stand a chance.

Trump has accomplished zero in 3 years as president, yet loves to tout “the economy” as one of his biggest accomplishments. Now, anyone with half a brain knows the economy has been on a upswing for nearly a decade. Same with falling unemployment. Why hasn’t someone asked Trump to specifically name what he personally has done as president to have accomplished this wonderful economy? Because the actual answer is... nothing.

‘Mother Is Not Going to Like This’: The 48 Hours That Almost Brought Down Trump

Politico Magazine has published an excerpt from a forthcoming book about Trump and the GOP by journalist Tim Alberta. It includes these tidbits regarding Trump's Access Hollywood tape:

After the tape became public, scores of top Republican lawmakers, donors and activists — far more than did so publicly — privately urged then-Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus to push Trump out and replace him with Vice President Pence at the top of the ticket. This included then-House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Pence hunkered down and prayed with his wife, Karen, who furiously warned him that she would no longer appear in public if Pence remained Trump’s running mate. Pence hinted to advisers that he might have to stop campaigning with Trump.

But the key revelation is what happened next. At the next debate with Hillary Clinton, Trump ferociously attacked back, blasting Bill Clinton’s history with women and even threatening to unleash law enforcement on Hillary Clinton, saying that with him as president, Clinton would “be in jail.”

Within 48 hours the bleeding had stopped: Republicans ceased their calls for his withdrawal, Pence dutifully returned to the stump and his campaign went on as though nothing had happened.

so all Trump had to do was not back down and the repubs went crawling back to him quickly?

[quote]At the next debate with Hillary Clinton, Trump ferociously attacked back, blasting Bill Clinton’s history with women and even threatening to unleash law enforcement on Hillary Clinton, saying that with him as president, Clinton would “be in jail.”

Yep, and the media covered these Trump antics obsessively, offering little coverage of the deflective motive.

Lindsey & Ivanka praising each other for women's rights advocacy.

South Carolina is rated the worse in domestic violence. Graham is full of it.

I'll put this here because why not. There are more and more polls and "statistics" with positive messaging for the Republicans, for Trump and for 2020. Don't believe them. It is part of an active campaign of disinformation designed to create momentum, and demoralize. it will get more intense over the next few mot=nths. The Russian/Republican axis is trying to chose their opponent and suppress turn out..

Shephard Smith interrupted a Trump speech to do fact checks on the speech. Is Faux finally turning?

I am so fucking sick of these people.

R176, that's all of us in a nutshell.

Shepherd Smith has always been hostile to Trump particularly and at least going back to GWB republicans generally.

Hi Rosie! I know you post here on DL!

I'm not Rosie, R186. I'm glad you think the choices the GOP makes are fine, and it's the posters who have issues.

More Miss Linseed pics please! Luv DL!

I like the idea that some in the GOP are assisting with the Epstein revelations, but I doubt it. His twenty-something other accusers weren't enough for those assholes? If they wanted to go looking for something to bring him down, they just needed to get out of their own way.

The stench from his activities through the modeling agency, beauty contests and worldwide hotel chains couldn't be anything else but eau d'trafficking. He's an established pervert, sees women as commodities, and trucks with CONVICTED traffickers and pedophiles. FFS, he sent his own daughter to 'train' with another pedophile in Brazil.

This is something they never speak of

NBC News: President Donald Trump is expected to announce on Thursday that he is taking executive action to add a citizenship question to the census. He will hold a press conference this afternoon to announce it.

Will the Supreme Court let him get away with that?

This Supreme Court might -- after all, they sent the issue back to his administration with what basically a directive to "tell us a more convincing lie and we'll give you a pass."

But there will certainly be a flurry of lawsuits to come.

The border issue is to resolved Friday by Lindsey. Mike Pence will be traveling with Lindsey to the border facilities. Lindsey helped Ivanka resolve women issues in Africa. Just a few days ago, Lindsey traveled with Bill Barr to South Carolina. to fix the federal prison system.

Lindsey is an expert on everything. That's why the media features Lindsey daily. And Lindsey is not selfish about the accomplishments. Lindsey gives Trump credit and praise for everything.

The only concern may be from 'Mother'; unless she is traveling along with them to the border, then all will be fine.

Bloomberg: Trump’s Social Media Summit Brings Fringe Voices to White House

Ok, why the fuck are most Republican politicians so fucking old and repulsive? Not just ugly but utterly repulsive?

From Fox of all places: Trump rails against ‘Fake News’ in bizarre tirade, warns industry will fold when he leaves office

“The White House will be hosting a very big and very important Social Media Summit today. Would I have become President without Social Media? Yes (probably)! At its conclusion, we will all go to the beautiful Rose Garden for a News Conference on the Census and Citizenship,” Trump began. “A big subject today at the White House Social Media Summit will be the tremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression practiced by certain companies. We will not let them get away with it much longer. The Fake News Media will also be there, but for a limited period.”

He continued: “The Fake News is not as important, or as powerful, as Social Media. They have lost tremendous credibility since that day in November, 2016, that I came down the escalator with the person who was to become your future First Lady,” Trump tweeted. (The president apparently confused his dates, as the escalator ride he referenced happened in June 2015 when he announced his presidential bid.)

“When I ultimately leave office in six years, or maybe 10 or 14 (just kidding), they will quickly go out of business for lack of credibility, or approval, from the public. That’s why they will all be Endorsing me at some point, one way or the other.”

“Could you imagine having Sleepy Joe Biden, or @AlfredENeuman99 or a very nervous and skinny version of Pocahontas (1000/24th), as your President, rather than what you have now, so great looking and smart, a true Stable Genius!” Trump tweeted. “Sorry to say that even Social Media would be driven out of business along with, and finally, the Fake News Media!”

R196, the ugly inside shows early with that tribe.

Oh, Turtle.

R199, what offends me is how this article frames this as normal politics. It is not.

So, did the orange one invite a lot of White Supremacist into the White House today? Or was there another venue? What if someone was inclined to poison these people? What a nice dream?

OK If we have reached the point that the president can successfully circumvent the Supreme Court’s rulings by announcing “Executive Action” we have moved beyond the pundits’ favorite “dangerous ground” and are well entrenched in fascism.

R202 Exactly. What good is SCOTUS if this orange idiot decides he wants to be king? This is a constitutional crisis - one of dozens this moron has entered our country into.

YES.

well if Trump defies the SC with an executive order, is that not an impeachable offense? I mean that would clearly be unconstitutional but we know moderate Democrats don't want to impeach.

R205 Which is exactly why Pelosi and your elected officials need to hear from you! I just contacted both Speaker Pelosi and my Congress Critter saying that we are now in a constitutional crisis, and it's their duty to impeach.

Link to contact Speaker Pelosi is below, people. FLOOD HER INBOX!

Forget about contacting Pelosi, contact your local Democratic congressperson. Pelosi will start impeachment proceedings once 50% of her caucus backs it. We ain't there yet.

I only wish I had a Democratic congressperson to contact.

R208 Even Republican congresspeople need to hear. They may not agree, but they'll see the writing on the wall if people stand up to them. Why do you think Republican congresspeople stopped doing town halls when they were trying to destroy Obamacare? THEY WERE SCARED OF US! Let's make them scared again!

Use the tool below, enter your street address, and viola - every one of your elected officials from Trump on down.

A president doesn't have the authority to make changes to the census. Executive orders don’t have that much power, and the courts will rule against him.

Bill Barr blowing the pipes.

Representative Steve King shows he is in touch with black Americans.

so will anything be done about uncooperative Felix Sater?

Twitter seems to be down all over the world. It went down about 45 minutes ago. Just in time for Trump's summit. How odd.

I read something the other day about the Russian sub that caught fire, that they might have been trying to get to internet cables in the ocean.

this all just too coincidental.

Corruption is the tie that binds.

Don't overlook Elaine.

well remember Congress likes to focus on facebook but for some reason they ignore twitter. A lot of the disinformation and lies spread on twitter. It's faster and more viral than facebook.

From r215: "Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao has used her office to steer grants to Kentucky, the state represented by her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:

The Transportation Department under Secretary Elaine Chao designated a special liaison to help with grant applications and other priorities from her husband Mitch McConnell’s state of Kentucky, paving the way for grants totaling at least $78 million for favored projects as McConnell prepared to campaign for reelection. Chao’s aide Todd Inman, who stated in an email to McConnell’s Senate office that Chao had personally asked him to serve as an intermediary, helped advise the senator and local Kentucky officials on grants with special significance for McConnell—including a highway-improvement project in a McConnell political stronghold that had been twice rejected for previous grant applications.

Chao was also in the news recently for boosting her family’s shipping company, which has deep ties to China.

It is, as The Washington Post’s Paul Waldman noted on Monday, “utterly mundane.” But it’s been repeated again and again during the administration, with both relative newcomers to government and veterans like Chao using their offices to benefit themselves and their families."

I mean only the press and the House could go after Elaine. McConnell won't even acknowledge disgraceful behavior by Trump and the rest of his cabinet, never mind his wife

[quote]Lindsey helped Ivanka resolve women issues in Africa.

Lindsey was convinced this had something to do with finger waves.

Have they ever even had sexual relations? >

With each other??

sorry I didn't respond sooner. I had to go upchuck my lunch after thinking about Elaine and Mitch going at it.

Good lawd, Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins are teaming-up for their 2020 campaigns.

Well, the small Republican women's caucus must feel they got to stick together.

I suppose they still have this Kavanaugh infactuation going.

NYT: Trump Says He Will Seek Citizenship Information From Existing Federal Records, Not the Census

He doesn't give a shit about it. He will move on since he seems to have lost this battle. It was just another diversion.

DL fave James O'Keefe is seen filming the whole thing. What a fucking bunch of trash in the White House.

The Constitution sets forth the requirements to run for president. No state can add or subtract from them.

r229 Hysterical! What a bunch of boring idiots.

Fucking Idiocracy come to life

Jesus fucking Christ. I guess that’s the new official state media.

Idiots

George Conway critiques DJT's mental state........again.

R230 The constitution sets the requirements for running for office. But the states are allowed to set ballot access as they see fit (which is why we had the voting rights act). Two completely different things.

R236, ballot access put the requirements/onus on the voters, not the nominee. This actually restricts the candidates, putting an additional requirement that is not in the Constitution,, so I do question whether it’s constitutional. I asked in another thread—any legal eagles who can explain if this is ok? It would really be great if it was, and other states should follow. But what’s to prevent states like Georgia from passing onerous requirements that work against a Democratic candidate?

[quote]But what’s to prevent states like Georgia from passing onerous requirements that work against a Democratic candidate?

Like what?

just a question...does anyone know if during the Michael Cohen hearing, if any Democratic House member asked him if he helped Trump pay off more women than just Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal? I looked and can't find that answer. If not, that's something they should have asked. I'm willing to bet there were more than 2 women given how many accusers he has

He told his extremist "media" types today that he will go at the citizenship question "in other ways. There are other ways to get the information." He has backed away from his Executive Order (it's illegal) and instead he announced that every single cabinet level department and every federal agency that has anything related to citizenship information, must sent it all to the Department of Commerce. So he is not backing down on his intention to manipulate information to guarantee a epub;ican dominance for the next decade.

Get the fuck off Pelosi's back. Right now, there are 86 members of Congress favoring Impeachment. We need 218. So yeah, call your member of Congress, and start leaning on the fucking Republicans too. We need a fucking grassroots effort. The way he is threatening these raids with ICE, and the detention camps, if that shit isn't an abuse of power WTF is?

Raise hell. All the scrutiny on the detention camps is having an effect. Some of them have opened their doors to the media and starting to clean the facilities and serve hot food. It's a small thing, but shit. Exposing the contractors and the profiteers who are involved is important and we can't walk away. We have to keep up thep pressure and the focus. Contact all the media and tell them how concerned you are and how much you are appreciating their coverage. Keep up the pressure.

Our days of being spectators because we had competent, ethical people in charge, are over. We have to be hands on.

R238 it could be anything—require Biden to release transcripts of dealings with his son. Just worried about the ways it could be used by both sides. That’s why I think it’s unconstitutional.

Well, a requirement like that would apply to Trump too. They couldn't just single out Biden and make that requirement apply only to him. So if they want to require Biden to release transcripts of dealings with his son, then we'll finally get to see all of the illegal activity Don Jr and Ivanka have been up to.

Here are the requirements an Independent candidate must meet to appear on the presidential ballot in Texas, for example:

[quote]An independent candidate may obtain access to the general election ballot by filing a petition and application with the secretary of state. The petition must contain signatures equaling at least 1 percent of the total votes cast for all candidates in the previous presidential election. The application and petition must be submitted no later than the second Monday in May of the election year.

So, it appears that states have the ability to set requirements that a candidate must meet in order to be listed on a ballot. I would think requiring tax returns as part of the application process could be allowable and constitutional.

R242, that’s true, but do you see my point? They are adding requirements, which can only be done by the Constitution, probably partly to prevent scenarios like this. Before we jump for joy, we should be prepared for this to be litigated for sure.

R234 it’s a fine line to me but I hope you’re right. where are our legal experts tonight? Happy hour?

If the states didn't have the ability to set requirements to limit who can be on a ballot, couldn't thousands or even millions of people say they are running for president and demand to be listed on the ballot?

The Trump administration is on the verge of signing a “safe third country” agreement with Guatemala. Asylum seekers attempting to enter the U.S. would be forced to file in Guatemala instead.

And ....

Bullshit.

R192 is one of many stealth trolls in here of the QAnon type who are trying to rope Bill Clinton in any which way they can on the Epstein thread, so beware.

[quote]I find it hard to believe that someone with Clinton's horn dog history was hands off on Epstein's island. But even if he were, he would have been a witness to Epstein's criminal behavior, and I also find it hard to believe that Clinton wouldn't have been well aware of that before ever stepping foot on the island. But he kept mum and associated with Epstein anyway. Using the risible excuse that the well-known great compassionate humanitarian Epstein was simply providing the Clinton Foundation with the use of his plane.

[quote]What a crock. Betting Trump isn't the only one sweating bullets.

[quote]But surely Clinton KNEW that raping of underage girls was going on on that island, r305 - he was there, which means he had to have turned a blind eye to it. He continued to accept favors from Epstein regardless.

[quote]That makes Clintonomplicit, AFAIC. Yes, I know the Clintons have been targeted by outrageous false wingnut claims. But I'm talking about Clinton's own documented behavior here. He accepted favors from a known pedophile, and at best did nothing to protect the girls he had to have known were being illegally exploited. I'm not accusing Clinton of being a pedophile, but there were certainly women on that island who were of age, too. Clinton's history with Lewinsky and Paula Jones (to mention two) is sordid and indefensible enough that I'm not inclined to give him much benefit of the doubt on this issue.

These are the kinds of people pretending to be on our side here but in other threads, they act their real agendas.

Pence & Lindsey having a roundtable event at the border after visiting a pre-selected and prepared facility as a base for their later commentaries.

Apparently, according to them, everything is just wonderful down there and they credit Trump. Pence conveys Democrats are just making up shit.

r289 I wonder what Jesus thinks of this, if he is lying, and him letting it happen? Hmmmm. Did he and mother pray for a long time and Jesus said, "Be damned the border children. Support your new Messiah now"?

OK. I think I figured it out. We were watching Star Wars last night: Revenge of the Sith. Putin must have watched it. He is Darth Sidious, the Evil Sith Master, and Palpatine is Trump. Swear to god. Some of the dialogue in that movie is like a premonition.

USA Today: 'Care every American would be proud of': Pence lauds conditions at Texas border facility

Reuters: U.S. appeals court judges spar with Trump lawyer over bid to block House subpoena

it's official. Mueller testimony postponed until July 24th, a week later

It will give me a week to read the Mueller Report.

Well, DJT was younger at the time.

I don't think I have ever heard Trump or Pence say one word of compassion towards those kids. Even when they blame the Democrats - they just speak of the conditions in a general sense and even downplay it because they cannot admit anything is not being handled perfectly. They would rather have the kids suffer than admit they need to make some changes or take any responsibility. Nothing new, but Pence's statements today really emphasize what a fake and evil man he is as he shrouds himself as a Christian. I would love the Pope to call him out personally - although I doubt he is that attached to his old Catholism to care

R297, you nailed it. Unfortunately there is no Jesus in this planet to call these people out.

r297 The only thing their Christianity cares about is what hole they stick their dicks in. Everything else for conservative Christians is whatevs.

Jesus needs to hurry up with that smiting.

Nor has anyone in the administration said one word about the victims in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Not one word. They just talk about themselves and how they’re being picked on.

That is not true about the Epstein case, Trump did say how badly Acosta suffered because of it.

Donald Barr, William Barr's dad, hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach at Dalton without a college degree.

Turns out: a. he was using Epstein as his wingman for students; b. Barr was writing sex slavery porn while running the school.

Holy shit, R303. You can't make this stuff up.

What I regret is that this stuff is coming out now. The shock and the revulsion will dissipate by 2020. I'd love it if we were talking about this in January of 2020. Or June of 2020.

R305, I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about in January and June of 2020...or are you just trolling "concern"?

Trump on the debate stage with a Democratic nominee who challenges every action of his administration will be a sight to behold. I see a mike drop and storm off the stage within the first half hour of the first debate (by Trump, in case any trolls are confused about that).

Does anybody seriously think Trumpito is going to actually participate in debates??

I mean, seriously.

R306 Trump isn't going to debate any Democratic nominee. His skin is so thin now and his ego is so large, there is no way in hell that his advisers are going to let him on a stage with real journalists who will ask hard questions - let alone a Democratic nominee like Kamala Harris who would destroy him. He lost all three debates with Hillary and these past years have only made him worse. No way in hell he's on a debate stage.

(CNN) A federal investigation into whether Trump Organization executives violated campaign-finance laws appears to be wrapping up without charges being filed, according to people familiar with the matter.

For months, federal prosecutors in New York have examined whether company officials broke the law, including in their effort to reimburse Michael Cohen for hush-money payments he made to women alleging affairs with his former boss, President Donald Trump.

In recent weeks, however, their investigation has quieted, the people familiar with the inquiry said, and prosecutors now don't appear poised to charge any Trump Organization executives in the probe that stemmed from the case against Cohen.

Probably more bullshit from Trump's own lawyers, R309.

so Cohen is in jail but the Trump campaign was innocent? yeah ok

Barr = fixer for crime figures

Sounds like someone is about to be indicted to me, r309.

Probably next week by the sounds of it.

What it means IMO is that the Accountant who knows everything has cooperated with the feds.

On one hand I cannot see Trump debating with anyone because he is so thin skinned. OTOH, I can't see him turning down a chance to be on TV with tens of millions watching. His base wants red meat. His ego will not allow him to turn his back on the opportunity. He may tease about the possibility of not debating, but in the end he will. Maybe twice. That would satisfy his base and his ego.

Forgot to say that it may depend on who the nominee is. He is not scared of Biden. Or Bernie. He is scared of Pete, Kamala and especially Elizabeth. And one who is knowledgeable and who knows how to get their point across.

Lame nickname for Pete and Nancy = he’s scared.

No nickname for Kamala = he’s really scared

The nickname he'll find for Kamala will be of the dog whistling kind and you know it.

When he named Omaraso "that dog", you know that was dog whistling to his racist fanbase for the N word.

When he called Maxine Waters "low IQ", for no particular reason at all, that was also dog whistling to his fanbase.

And Trump calling someone else "low IQ" is fucking rich. He's probably the first "stable genius" who doesn't know he's a deranged man-toddler with an IQ of 75. And I'm being generous.

Oh I'm sure that Kamala Harris will be more than ready to clap back at Trump.

On an MSNBC interview this week Harris repeatedly criticized Trump for being "unable to perform". In context she was talking about his performance as a president, with the sexual overtones just DANGLING.

Kamala is a bitch and that might just be exactly what we need to go against Trump.

Hillary was perceived as a bitch, but she really wasn't much of one in retrospect.

But Kamala is the real thing.

Trump is still using the nickname Pocahontas for Warren. She took the bait before, and the consequences were not good.

Sanders can be easily mocked by Republicans. They haven't unloaded on him yet. Sanders was an asset to them in 2016, and is still being so.

Pete and Harris won't allow Trump to successfully label them. They know how tobzing back.

One-on-one with Trump, don't underestimate Biden when it is older white male vs older white male. It is uncomfortable for Biden to go on personal attacks vs primary candidates that are women and/or black or other non-whites. Biden will ultimately need their support for the general election.

Biden will be able to push Trump's buttons during a debate to make him unhinged and rage. Biden should focus on the point that Trump was not legitimately elected in 2016, and emphasize Trump is owned by Putin. That gets Trump furious and off script.

NYT: Epstein Paid $350,000 to Possible Witnesses Against Him, Prosecutors Say

USA Today: 'The crisis is real': Mike Pence sees 'tough stuff' and 'compassionate work' at Texas border facilities

Slamming Democrats who have called the situation on the border “a manufactured crisis,” Pence said the U.S. has "a moral obligation" to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws that he said are exacerbating the problem.

"The crisis is real," he said. "This is not a manufactured crisis."

I met with my Congressional source today (meaning we fucked and then there was some pillow talk afterwards). Here are some scoops:

The reports that Mueller’s hearing has been moved to July 24th are not accurate and are premature. There has been no official agreement reached about this. The agreement for July 17th is technically still on the table and Mueller has stood very firmly (this is non-negotiable) that he will make himself available for five hours, no more and no less. One of the problems right now is that between the Judiciary and Intel committees, there are 61 people who want to ask questions. Rather than everyone getting a chance to ask a question, they might select a certain group of members to ask all the questions.

There is a lot of discussion right now about the space where the hearing will take place. Judiciary “owns” the hearing room so they are asserting more control. Intel doesn’t have their own room. They are literally debating about what the temperature of the room will be. Nadler could just hold onto the original July 17th date and hold the Judiciary portion then since it’s what Mueller has already agreed to.

Mueller does not want to testify and is apparently afraid of being shunned by his Republican friends if he is viewed as the person who “too down the president.” He is trying to do the bare minimum here and just fade back into private life without too much personal blowback.

Mueller’s agreement to meet this Wednesday still technically stands. Nadler has even floated the idea of keeping this Wednesday as the date and having Mueller just show up because at least Mueller has already agreed to this and that means Judiciary will have the room and not have to compete with Intel for those precious five hours (which is not enough time to allow for 61 people to ask questions).

On Impeachment: Nancy does not want to impeach. She is hoping that they can just wait the next year out and then have Trump be voted out of office overwhelmingly by the American people. My friend seemed to be very concerned about whether or not we will even still have a Constitutional democracy at that point.

The Democrats have NO PLAN whatsoever for how to deal with the debt ceiling crisis coming our way. There have been no meetings about it at all.

My buddy stated very clearly that he believes Trump will eventually be in prison when this is all over. But there was also something interesting about how the GOP is going to have to decide when they can distance themselves from Trump.

One of his co-workers went to one of the migrant detention centers this week. She said that almost nobody there spoke Spanish and she did so she wanted to talk to the younger children and try to get information. She wanted to hug them and gain their trust but she said that the smell of their unwashed bodies was so strong, it literally overpowered her.

R329 fucked Miss Lindzee

r329....you need a better source....Both Committees confirmed yesterday that Muellers testimony was in fact delayed a week.

[quote]Mueller has stood very firmly (this is non-negotiable) that he will make himself available for five hours

Fuck him. He should sit for however long it takes the committee to get answers to their questions. If Hillary can sit there for 11 hours, Bobby can tough it out too.

Thanks for the scoop, Capitol Hill whore. I'm guessing that's you at r329.

This debt ceiling thing is going to bite everyone in the ass. It's coming up much faster than anyone has realized.

Pelosi needs to open her eyes. The same stupid, hateful schmucks who voted for this fool will be out in force in 2020. They need to open an impeachment inquiry to get the info they need and to drag all of this traitor's crimes to the light.

Someone needs to start holding these traitors accountable for burning our intelligence assets and selling out the country instead of simply pearl clutching and talking about their concerns.

R331, there is still some discussion and maneuvering going on about this behind closed doors no matter what committees are stating publicly or what’s being reported.

I think impeachment proceedings will start before 2020 election because she’d be stupid to risk losing the House then we’re really fucked!

So Mueller doesn't want to be shunned by his rethuglican friends?!!! Well BOO-FUCKING-HOO!!! We are in a constitutional crisis, and the American democracy is at stake!

I told you Nancy was just stalling for time on impeachment hoping that the 2020 election will take Trump out instead.

What a great plan. Too bad it didn't work the last time the Democrats tried it, in 2016.

Looks like that alleged information sure sowed the seeds of depression and frustration, huh?

R338, yes, incredibly detailed information about how awful and stupid the Democrats are and how Mueller’s testimony can’t possibly be of any help . . . Who would want to get that out there? Who?

Omg, I am not a Russian troll. That accusation is hurled at me every single time I have come here to report insider information I’ve heard from this guy. I’ve proven that I’m real and brought stuff here that no one else has know about.

But, yes, do go ahead and do your usual shtick of attempting to smear me.

*known

[quote]But, yes, do go ahead and do your usual shtick of attempting to smear me.

Maybe you should be on the lookout for a better calibre of fuck buddy.

Well of course we can't expect Robert, private school Republican priviligated white person, to risk losing his coveted place amongst the rich and well-bred to protect the common every day rights of the great unwashed, can we?

That would mean he'd have to slam car doors in the faces of people like us instead of well-paid journalists chasing down his ass on our behalf.

I just want to hear one thing out of this man's mouth: Trump is guilty of obstruction and it is up to Congress to punish him. CLEARLY, no mush mouthed double talk from a partisan politician.

r329 Thank you for your info. Did you ever say what your source does?

I'm not hearing info as dire as you about Pelosi and the Dems but I appreciate your info.

Remember all, he is getting his info from ONE person. DC is a gossip carnival.

I'm not talking about what he's claiming is "information" but on how several people here reacted immediately: hating on "the Dems", Pelosi, with "Oh Woe Is Me!" type whining.

That "scoop" made those who worry just worry even worse and get angrier. And more hateful to Nancy.

Way to go!

r345 But they will jump on anything "negative" to jump on the Dems. It is tiresome to me as I'm sure it is to you.

You are right, they just look for any reason to wail and complain.

I apologize, Insider Fuck Buddy. I do hope things are not as dire as your sex partner indicates, though. I'm being hopeful and always ready to find a bright spot of news.

Well Trump did promise to put more people to work, and I bet there are hardly any unemployed lawyers in the DC area.

I would love for Trump to be impeached and removed from office, but there is no way enough Republican Senators are going to vote to remove him. Plus there is a possibility that, GOD forbid, that Trump wins re-election. Attempting to impeach him a second time would be even harder than the first time, he would feel invincible and would probably be violating every law he felt like. I think it would be wise to hold back impeachment for his second term if that happens.

Did your friend happen to mention that there are only 86 members of the House in favor of starting Impeachment proceedings? It takes 218. Of course Nancy would not favor starting the fucking process with just 86 votes.

As for Mueller, yes they announced the hearing date change already, so that's a done deal. And I seriously doubt the Mueller we all know, gives a rat's ass about pleasing his Republican friends.

Mueller has transcended political affiliation in recent years because at his age, his personal reputation has much less to do with conforming to the Neo Fascist anti Constitution bigots and whores that populate his former party, and much more to do with his personal legacy.

He has been watching Barr lie and piss over him and all the hard working capable people on his team for months. He may not want to join the battle, but he should have never accepted the job if that were the case. He is an experienced politician. He understood what he was doing when he took the job.

And you know what, no man who writes the words "If we could have exonerated the President we would have..." is worried about taking down a President who actively conspired with a foreign adversary, and then obstructed justice and tampered with witnesses.

[quote]Nancy does not want to impeach. She is hoping that they can just wait the next year out and then have Trump be voted out of office overwhelmingly by the American people. My friend seemed to be very concerned about whether or not we will even still have a Constitutional democracy at that point.

We certainly don't have a Constitutional democracy if our elected officials refuse to hold high-placed criminals accountable for their crimes. Impeachment may be hard, and conviction in the Senate implausible, but this typical Democratic strategy of not making waves and just letting things go back to normal is giving us a de facto plutocracy.

[quote]fucked Miss Lindzee

Ewww, Lindzee had been traveling with Barr and then Pence, this week. She be nasty.

The Hill: Trump knocks Mueller after deal struck for him to testify

Freakin Russians taking down the Manhattan power grid.

This is the anniversary of the big blackout in 1977, R354. Creepy.

di Blasio's wife probably just pocketed the money meant to pay the electric bills.

Patch: Manhattan Blackout Knocks Out Subways, People Reported Trapped

I'll say it again. Nancy only has 86 votes because that is all who are willing to go against her wishes. If she said she was for impeachment almost the entire caucus would be with her. Basically, what she is saying is that she will not be for impeachment until the majority of her caucus goes against her wishes and publicly supports impeachment. That won't happen because of her position. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. She be for impeachment when her party defies her wishes and supports impeachment. That doesn't make any sense.

The AOC shills here are ridiculous.

If a majority of House Democrats do not come out in favor of impeachment after the Mueller hearing, I don't think it's going to happen. It's July 2019. No way will they start impeachment next year. I think if it's not started by October we can forget about it which is horrible.

There's no guarantee this fucking bastard won't be reelected. The Democrats will be even more afraid to impeach in a second term because repubs could claim the public is with Trump even though he'll lose the popular vote again

Deutsche Bank is starting to roll over, handing financial info over to SDNY and then laying off thousands of workers from their investment division. It's all going down now, perhaps not as quickly as we'd like, but it's all starting to unravel. Soon....real soon.....shit is gonna hit the fan.

Statistically, it's next to impossible for Trump to be re-elected. His 2016 victory was a fluke of the electoral college. 70k well positioned (by the Russians???) were the winning factor. After three years of his mess of an administration, he's not winning any new votes. Anecdotally, we're not seeing evidence of new people jumping on the Trump bandwagon but hear of many people (farmers, women) who regret their vote. In 2016, Trump got a fair number of hispanic votes as well as women. I have to believe with his policies, those two categories are less for Trump 2020. That's not saying the Russia or China or North Korea won't try to tilt the field...

R362 Many believe, as do I, he wasn't elected the first time. Legitimately anyway. But unless at least 5 crucial states switch over to paper balloting, he'll be "elected" again.

A day when Lindsey is not on Fox? Nawh.

[quote]Friday’s tour showed vividly, to politicians and the media, how well run and clean the children’s detention centers are. Great reviews! Failing @nytimes story was FAKE! The adult single men areas were clean but crowded - also loaded up with a big percentage of criminals...…

He just cannot help himself - he has to make it sound like everything he touches is the best ever. There will be a tweet saying these are the best child detention centers in history.

That number is 77,744. Never forget it. And yes, I believe this President was delivered by Russia. Well, Biden is a known entity. China, RUssia, etc. they may not be upset with a Biden Presidency and might not work too hard to stop him.

Since I have worked for a member of Congress (Two and a half years.) and I have worked in a state legislative office ( 4 years) and I have worked in government in a cabinet level department (HHS) I can tell you this. Nancy Pelosi might come out for impeachment but it would NOT mean the rest of her Caucus would follow.

From what I've read and seen, Nancy is not AGAINST impeachment. She is just very aware of the struggle to get to 218. She would weaken herself if she were to come out for Impeachment gung ho, when she doesn't even have enough support in her own caucus. It is a gamble she is unwilling to take. It is not appropriate for her to handle it that way. You want the House to impeach then call the members who are not supporting impeachment and pressure them. Nancy is not a magician. She is not God. She cannot create gold from straw.

Well, Mitch McConnell was so handsome as a young man. No wonder he skyrocketed in Kentucky politics.

The Manhattan power outage is more likely cause by unusually warm weather and too many people running fans and a/c?

It was actually fairly temperate last night.

No, R369, it was due to a transformer fire.

This latest tweet of Trump’s telling four democratically elected POC congresswomen to “go back to their countries” is probably one of the more outrageous ones he’s spewed.

NYT: Trump Tells Freshman Congresswomen to ‘Go Back’ to the Countries They Came From

ABC: Pelosi slams Trump for 'xenophobic' tweets about Democratic congresswomen

[quote]"I reject @realDonaldTrump’s xenophobic comments meant to divide our nation," Pelosi tweeted on Sunday morning.

Oh, I'm sure he's shaking in his boots at that savage "slam".

Not one fucking Republican has made known their objection to his tweets today. I hope this is an indication that the party will go up in flames someday.

Why can’t a Democrat just call him “a fucking idiot!”?

r377 Why can't a Repug?

His tweet will unite the House Democrats by reminding them who the enemy really is. Good move, DJT.

Yes

And (when it comes to going back to countries) remind others that someone else is a foreign import

That droopy-faced cunt Melania can go back to Slovenia first!

I read that Trump tweeted about Pence's successful visit, but we all know that Pence's trip was a disaster. I wonder if Trump will blame Pence.

Lindsey declares he'll be taking a "deep dive".

Goff again with Trump. She gets around be, doesn't she?

New instructions?

My friends in DC say it isn't that the Dems are doing nothing or diddling around- they are overwhelmed by design. This administration is engaging in unprecedented stonewalling, evasion, norm and rule breaking. The Dems have so much to go after and the one area that is slowing them down is what to go after and in what order. They also have to govern. If any of you understood who committees and all of that work, it is not cut and dry. They fight over who has authority to do what. It is very complicated. This administration is doing things that are wholly outside the realm of normal. Yes, the Dems are frustrated as hell. They are letting all of this drip drip drip out until they lower the boom. Unfortunately, they need time. They wish they could do this faster but their jobs, already difficult because Dems actually want to govern, have not been made easier. An entire, sans one, political party is aiding and abetting this demon which makes this so much more tricky.

Again, we all said things would get worse before better. We are in worse and, judging by his despicable tweets today, things will only get worse until it is over. His tweets were to distract again.

R385, FCI, in an earlier thread we discussed the possible hacking of the voter tallies by the Russians. You wrote that many practically knew it to be fact. So what's being done to prevent it from happening again? It seems pointless watching the democrats debate knowing it might not make a bit of difference.

Thanks.

I wouldn't be privy to what measures are being taken. My friends wouldn't be privy, either. That is above their pay grade. I can tell you that, beyond actually having proof myself, my friends and their bosses believe votes were change in Pres Bone Spur's favor. How to respond to that is tricky (also saying it aloud to the media is tricky and something they will not do) and my friends assured they've heard things are being looked at with the IC. Again, our dear supreme leader and his party are dragging their feet. They lack hard proof as far as voting machine records. The IC knows and we all know they got into our systems. For what? For shits and giggles? No. They changed votes. I WILL report if I hear of any specific thing they do to thwart it provided they are told.

Many of them, and others in DC, read this thread (when they can) because I told them to or my friends told others to.

I just want everyone frustrated to know the whole process is frustrating for everyone including members of Congress and their staff. They are working insane hours due to all of this.

Thanks for the inside info, FCI. A computer-savvy friend has told me the difficulty with prosecuting hacking is that a good hacker can make it impossible to prove any data was changed.

Trump tweets racists statements, and the only Republican, beyond a few news figures, that I heard spoke up to denounce it, was Meghan McCain. Republicans fear any pubic disagreement with Trump.

Paul Ryan waits months after leaving office to express he was disturbed about Trump's behavior, and he does it for his book. It may have cost him as House Speaker sooner, but he could have shown leadership and honesty when he had real influence.. His complaints ring somewhat hollow now.

R387 and R388, I've been saying this for more than a year.

Republicans make up the complicit nation of Vichy America. Scum.

Mulvaney is fucking around. Slap him with a subpoena for the Shutdown. And the census.

The crypt keeper Ross needs another subpoena for the census AND bank of Cypress. Bury the motherfuckers in subpoenas and paperwork. Make them hire lawyers. Make their worthless lives miserable until they leave.

Isolate the orange traitor then squeeze his tiny balls until he begs to leave.

Stop fucking around. This is war. Let the squad take the lead and fuck these assholes up. Pelosi needs to start thinking like a field general and less like a politician. We all want the same thing. Turn those girls loose on these fuckers. Not like they will lose their seats.

When do some of the House lawsuits get to an actual judge? Anyone know? I think once rulings start coming in against this shit it will snowball quickly. I know Nader already has some lawsuits filed. Is there a timeline? Is there anything on any docket anywhere yet?

I wish Obama would speak up a bit more. Trump attacks him constantly.

The Trump administration on Monday moved to end asylum protections for most Central American migrants in a major escalation of the president’s battle to tamp down the number of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

Asylum seekers who pass through another country first will be ineligible for asylum at the U.S. southern border. The rule, expected to go into effect on Tuesday, also applies to children who have crossed the border alone. This essentially ends asylum protections as they now are on the southern border.

The policy is almost certain to face a legal challenge.

Trump is greasing the skids for crypt keeper Wilbur Ross after the census citizenship debacle.

Why dump Wilbur?

Trump didn’t back down; he backed UP ?

Wilbur Ross is shady as fuck with his connections to the Bank of Cyprus.

SO...prosecutors found a second passport for Jeffrey Epstein....from Saudi Arabia....with an address there.

Coincidence that Trump and Kushner are bffs with MSB ?

[quote] Asylum seekers who pass through another country first will be ineligible for asylum at the U.S. southern border.

That's how the EU looks at it, and Canada as well. Why not the US ?

If they found one phony passport. You can bet he’s got others.

Nations’ passport controls will be looking for a J. Epstein, as some “unknown” Saudi national slips across the border.

r405 I'm not sure Obama needs to weigh in. He would become more of a target and it would distract. He would love Obama to respond. ALL the living Presidents should respond, if anything, but that would also distract.

His tweets against those four is really despicable and crosses a line. He is not well but we all know that.

So maybe a Republican...like W..... or not.....It's appalling to me that the Republican Party, (I always hated them, but now more than ever...)

Actually the tweet to the four members of Congress was a strategic, deliberate part of Trump/Republicans' larger political strategy. They will continue to attack them so they can cast all Democrats as part of some radical fringe. Projection writ large.

I would really like George W. Bush to speak out against this administration in a forceful way. He won't because he's hiding behind this idea that former Presidents shouldn't attack current occupants which is all fine and dandy if the country wasn't being torn apart by this administration. With his father gone and McCain gone he's really the last influential Republican who could stem this bullshit. Clinton obviously can't speak out, Obama has been smart not to get into it with Trump. Who else is there to say enough?

Be best!

[qupte] His tweets against those four is really despicable and crosses a line

Strictly my own opinion but i think it's a chess move to force the party to circle the wagons around the "squad" and suffer from the embrace in the election .

r417 It will backfire because the party is a lot more than them. And COMPARED to the Nazis in the GOP? And our crazed prez? I'll take the comparison any day. The GOP is full of embarrassing members to make the face of their party.

Miss Lindsey is going to have a hissy fit on Faux News. All gentleman callers are canceled tonight!

Michelle Obama has moral authority to say something about Trump's racism and lack of compassion, about his dishonesty, about his active, obvious attacks on her husband's accomplishments. But she won't because she thinks it's too political.

I hope all these repug voting Hispanics are happy. Let me tell you all this- the racists don't care whether you got her legally or not. They fucking hate you because of your skin color, your accent. Yeah, that goes for you Cubans, too. You're complicit in this shit. YOU get to just float over, touch land and are accepted. Why? Oh, because you vote GOP. Well, the racists may target your child not knowing you are allowed to be here legally just by stepping foot on our land. They don't care.

Washington Post: House to vote on resolution condemning Trump tweets decried as racist

Miss Lindz gets in the this thickly, to spin in behalf of Trump, and portray Trump's messaging as not so harsh. Miss Lindz comment to "aim higher" is not a commendation of Trump's remarks. Her own comments are nasty And of course, cable networks keeps showing the sashaying Miss Lindz, and references her repeatedly throughout the day. Miss Lindlz loves the camera more than any Disney World princess.

How about these four moving to another country? One which they all appear to show immense affection for: Putin's Russia. The four: Trump (and clan), McConnell (and wife), Miss Lindz (and whomever calls upon her), and Barr (with most of the rest of the cabinet).

Hook Line Sinker... Trump gets Democrats to circle around extreme left Dems to use as ammo in election.

He's just THRILLED not to be in McCain's shadow anymore, r425!

Trump ass-kisser Lou Dobbs thinks Trump ass-kisser Lindsey Graham doesn't kiss enough Trump ass:

R423 I never understood why Cuba was an immigrant exception. I get that it is a dictatorship and communist country and the Cubans missile crisis and Pay of Pigs, etc. But it seems that it is a lot more difficult to live in some Central American countries than Cuba. You'd think assholes like Cruz and 'lil Marco would be vehemently anti-Trump for the immigration issues as well as a host of other but they're all assholes.

[quote]Miss Lindz comment to "aim higher" is not a commendation of Trump's remarks.

Trump seems to think have misinterpreted Miss Lindsay's recommendation to "aim higher" with his attacks. From his presser this morning:

"These are congresswomen. What am I supposed to do, just wait for senators?" "What am I going to do, wait until we get somebody else in a higher position, a higher office?"

[quote]Lindsey Graham doesn't kiss enough Trump ass

Would any human being be able to kiss that entire enormous, sagging, puckered, discolored mess?

Meant condemnation, not commendation

Talking about someone being in "hog heaven" with all the attention? This is the second of three Lindsey Graham visits to Fox News today.

Who has what on LG? It must be monumental.

Rep Al Green- not real bright, but maybe he is taking the temperature for Nancy. She can't do this. Strategically it makes no sense. But if some other member of the House does, they can see how many votes they need and it won't have the weight it might if it were the Speaker initiating this.

r426 Nope. He is BORING asf.

I hope Cubans are happy. The anti-immagrant brigade hates them as well. Cubans have special privileges they feel superior. No, they don't differentiate b/w illegal and legal. You are different. They hate you. But go ahead and keep voting GOP you self-loathing assholes.

now see? Trump had everyone so distracted many ignored the bombshell new reporting on Assange's activities when he was in the Ecuadorian embassy

talk about a fucking conspiracy. Now we need to find out how much of this the Trump campaign knew about. Did they know how much the Russians and Assange were communicating and sharing stuff? I mean how else would Trump have started with the I love wikileaks chants

Lindz asks DJT to "aim higher". That is confusing.

He needed to explain, perhaps, he was referencing the 'hole' on the golf course. Even those short putts take precision.

Trump interrupted the news cycle so we'd forget about Epstein and the immigration crisis. ...and the fact that the raids are flopping.

Yes, r447!! That’s what he does. Expect the craziness to ramp to epic levels next week when Mueller testifies.

r444.....that connection would be Nigel Farange from the UK....remember he would meet with Trump, then go meet with Assange....and back and forth.....WHY ISNT THE MEDIA TALKING ABOUT THIS ?

Apparently, the media can't multitask. Trump's racist rant and the response of the four congresswomen is worthy news, but doesn't require 24/7 coverage for multiple days. It's what is sensational at the moment, and the media allows Trump to be the master of deflection. News would actually be Congress making Trump face real accountability.

The Assange news make you wonder about all those visits from Pamela Anderson. Is she a Russian agent, or just another useful idiot?

the weird thing is the media keeps saying Trump is distracting us which he is, but then they fucking fall for it every fucking time!!!

as others said, yes it's important to cover his racism and misogyny but also they need to keep covering the other big stories

I don't understand how this Assange stuff isn't top headline news

NBC News:

“What’s your ethnicity?” Kellyanne Conway asks a reporter when the reporter asks her about the intent of the president’s tweets.

“A lot of us are sick and tired of this country – of America coming last, to people who swore an oath of office.”

A federal judge on Tuesday found Roger Stone violated a gag order she previously imposed in his case and blocked him from using certain social media platforms ahead of his trial in November.

But she said she did not want to start contempt proceedings for Stone, despite believing that he had violated the order several times, as she thought it would lead to even more media attention on the case.

Kellyanne Conway should be struck repeatedly, like a gong.

A woman being interviewed on PBS Newshour nailed it by likening the Republicans in office to being like a herd of nervous impalas waiting for the lion to attack the weakest one.

R451 Yeah, those Pamela Anderson multiple interactions with Julian Assange still looks weird and remains confusing. Wasn't she claiming Assange and Russia weren't conspiring? That's contrary to significant evidence. There were rumors some romance was happening. I have not seen anything recent about the Assange-Anderson story. I have suspicion this was not all self-motivated on the part of Anderson.

Kellyanne Cuntway can go drop dead along with her commander in chief.

More Republican family values at work: GOP operative Jason Miller, the former communications chief for the Trump campaign and transition team, said he hired numerous prostitutes and visited “hand job” massage parlors as recently as a few months ago in a new videotaped deposition.

In a written transcript of the deposition obtained by Mediaite, Miller describes the occasions he paid women for sex since 2001. Soliciting prostitution was, and still is, a crime in the cities where Miller admitted to hiring escorts.

The deposition details Miller’s multiple extramarital affairs, including his sexual relationships with two subordinates during the 2016 presidential campaign. His relationship with one of these women, former Trump campaign advisor A.J. Delgado, has been public knowledge since late 2016. But Miller provided new information on a second affair with Catherine Frazier, who worked as a press secretary for Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign during Miller’s time leading the candidate’s communications operation. The affairs occurred while his wife, Kelly Miller, was pregnant and the two were not legally separated.

What a douchebag. I’m so glad that egghead is no longer on my TV screen.

[quote]But she said she did not want to start contempt proceedings for Stone, despite believing that he had violated the order several times, as she thought it would lead to even more media attention on the case.

Once again Judge Amy bends over and takes it up the ass from Roger Stone.

The Republicans are all in on branding Democrats Socialists. They should refer to Republicans as ‘Republican Fascists’ every chance they can.

Berman is being smart....she knows it will turn into a media circus and add fuel to the dumpster fire that Trump has going....She isnt going to do ANYTHING until she has no choice.

Why the fuck would anyone, female or male, want to have sex with Jason Miller? His head looks like a balloon that someone drew a face on.

I surround myself with the best and most serious people.

Well, to those in DC who read this thread, I'm frustrated, too. I can see what the Democrats are up against. I can see that they are being stonewalled at every turn. I support the hard work that the Democrats are doing and will not criticize. All I can do is vote this mentally ill and hateful, evil man out of office. 2020 can't come soon enough.

His racism is so boring. He has jumped the shark. He is trying out new material but it isn't landing.

So now we have it in the books which Rethugs are racist (well we know all of them are) but now we know which ones are willing to go public with it!

Miss Lindzey is hopping mad with the House vote.

What effect does this condemnation have other than symbolic?

Which Republicans voted for it?

Judge Berman is Roger Stone's bitch.

He says, "Jump," and she responds with, "How high?"

I saw on Twitter that CardiB is a Bernie Bot.

I have to go with Mariah on this CardiB person.

I hate Jason Miller almost as much as I hate Sebastian Gorka. Both of them are arrogant beyond imagination. I hope they both rot in jail.

I hope they keep pushing the vid at r482 around everywhere- we need this to be a top headline this week!

We need to take the media to task too. I saw some article about how Trump managed to push the top five Democratic PResidential candidates out of the news cycle and "dominate coverage" compete with charts, and I responded telling them that was the media's fault.

We all know that the media could set the agenda if they wanted to. They've done it before. They could make McConnell and Trump's lives unbearable and they could make a huge issue of the rape charges.

When you look at the fact that we were subjected to 600 straight days of unrelievedly negative coverage of the story of Hillary's e-mails there is no reason why they can't do the same damned thing now. The go after who they want to go after.

[quote]We all know that the media could set the agenda if they wanted to.

They are setting the agenda they want to. Trump gets ratings. Outrage at Trump gets ratings. A second term for Trump will get ratings.

Individual reporters and hosts may be passionately anti-Trump but they don't set the agenda. I vividly remember MSNBC switching from Joy Reid to live coverage of a Trump primary rally -- and she made it clear she wasn't happy about it. MSNBC aired Trump's speech in its entirety. Neither CNN nor Fox did.

NBC: Judge orders release of docs tied to Cohen's hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels

A federal judge in New York on Tuesday signed an order permanently blocking the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census, days after President Trump gave up on his efforts to get such a question on next year's census.

The order, signed by Judge Jesse Furman, was jointly drafted by the parties opposing the citizenship question. It stops administration officials "from including a citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census questionnaire; from delaying the process of printing the 2020 decennial census questionnaire after June 30, 2019 for the purpose of including a citizenship question; and from asking persons about citizenship status on the 2020 census questionnaire or otherwise asking a citizenship question as part of the 2020 decennial census."

The order also states that Furman, an Obama appointee, will be able to enforce the order "until the 2020 census results are processed and sent to the President by December 31, 2020."

Tomorrow in SDNY:

*Epstein bail decision at 9:30a.

*Cohen-related material unsealed at 11a.m

Paul Rand voted against the 9/11 bill so it's dead. McConnell probably put him up to it. I'm amazed that these guys don't know they are digging their own graves and they have sped it up big time.

Because it's so much more important to make sure the Saudis get their weapons of mass destruction to murder Yemeni children in their beds while our first responders die. WTF was his excuse? Disgusting POS needs to be dragged through the still smoking ruins.

r498 the excuse was, we don't have the money for it. We need to take it from somewhere else first. But he didn't have an excuse when he voted for the tax cuts. Those billions in loss didn't matter.

Rand Paul is the other Senator voting against sanctions on Putin. Bernie Sanders is with him on this.

Just saw part of Trump's Nuremberg rally on CNN ( I didn't have a choice, the CNN anchor went to it), he has replaced the Hillary chant of "lock her up" with a new one:

He now has his deplorables screaming "send her back" about that one member of the squad who wasn't born here.

He couldn't be any more openly racist.

Trump is letting his full racist flag fly now.

Trump's elite, intellectual advisors explaining complex ideas and policies to the masses in ways they may understand.

Who knew that bitches named Diamond and Silk would end up being the Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally of the modern era?

Daimond and Silk's act has been done before and much more believable

‘Send them back’ chant was aimed at Diamond and Silk, no?

Yep, and the NRA blew their load on the 2016 elections, so they won't have money for them in 2020. Stupid Kenfuckians.

Trump supporters chanted "send her back" and "traitor" after the president renewed his attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar and the Democratic "squad" of freshman congresswomen.

we are heading towards a climax..... Get ready, it's going to be bad until we get to the other side.

no r511.

Go back to sleep dear, we'll be sure to wake you up in time to vote in 2020.

Trump, Republican politicians, their pundits, Fox News, and right-wing radio, are all saying "Democrat" party instead of "Democratic" party. The intent is to personalize in a condescending and derogatory way. The script from r508 shows it.

Like clockwork. She doesn't miss a day on Fox.

I repeat, he is boring. Same ol, same ol.

President Donald Trump kicked things off at his North Carolina rally tonight by touting the House vote late this afternoon against the resolution to impeach him.

“I just heard that the United States House of Representatives has overwhelmingly voted to kill the most ridiculous project I’ve ever been involved in: the resolution —— how stupid is that —— on impeachment,” Trump said.

“I want to thank those Democrats,” he continued, “because many of them voted for us. The vote was a totally lopsided 332-95-1.”

R519, they've been doing that "Democrat Party" thing for 20 years.

R522, I hope the idiotic "Impeach Now!" wahwahwah idiots will start listening to those of us who know that Pelosi knows what the fuck she is doing. They just handed Trump a talking point. People that don't pay much attention to politics will only hear that the House voted on impeaching Trump and it was thoroughly defeated by the votes of both Repugs AND Democrats. Morons.

Pelosi will never impeach Trump, get off it r523.

You do know that the true impeachment process usually stops everything else from happening. Congress becomes totally absorbed by it. This would not be about a blow job. Or Semen on a dress. This is about serious criminal wrong doing and even treason. They will have to thoroughly investigate, dot every "i" cross every "t".

They have to hold hearings, demand evidence, and subpoena people. And they will be blocked every step of the way, spending a lot of time in court. Once the hearings are over, the committee will have to draw up articles of impeachment, then vote on them. If they pass a committee vote, they will have to go to the full House for a vote.

It just took two fucking hours of protests, and arguing, and obstructive behavior to get the House to vote to Censure Trump. They were busy attacking Pelosi. So do not doubt for a moment that they will throw every roadblock and stall tactic they can think of into the process. It is a very divisive, time consuming endeavor.

It is especially precarious right now. When Nancy says "the House is not ready for Impeachment" she is not talking about herself. She is talking about the House. Congressman Greene was taking the temperature. In a way, it's good he did. It didn't cost Pelosi anything, and he demonstrated that they aren't there yet.

Everybody already knew "they weren't there yet". They can count.

Will be interesting to see what is released by the court tomorrow regarding Cohen and the checks he wrote to the hookers. Rachel did a long piece on it basically saying, "WTF Cohen is the only one going to jail for this?" What about Trump who masterminded the whole thing and Don Jr and old man Weiselman who signed the checks. I can see Barr trying to do something last minute to try to block the court from releasing the evidence.

Since Barr was held in contempt of congress, wouldn't that be a major issue with the Bar Association. If he is disbarred can he still be head of DOJ?

So what are the Feds gonna do with El chapo's 12.6 BILLION ill gotten gains? Going into Trump's pockets?

Slob Barr can't do jack shit about a judge. The judge in the Cohen case said ALL of the underlying documents were to be released.

This was after Barr's lackeys asked the judge to keep redacted "third party" individuals for "privacy". The judge told them to go pound sand so all of those docs will get released tomorrow.

Barr can't do a fucking thing about it unless he wants to be held in contempt of court.

And I love how he was held in contempt of Congress today after trying to weasel his way out of it by "negotiating" with the oversight committee. They told him to pound sand as well and voted to hold him in contempt.

Slob Billy just gets keeps getting kicked in the nads for fat Donnie.

His health is going downhill.

That would be nice, but that's not what she's up to.

Don't Dumpsters realize they will be subpoenaed and put on criminal trial for ignoring the rulings of the House? When the Dem administration takes over, they all will be publicly shamed and put in the slammer. Maybe a few will flee to countries without extradition--Russia, Saudi Arabia, North Korea?--but who the hell would want to move to these countries? The new Dem appointed DOJ AG will cum buckets getting in their asses - Barr, MNuchin, all of them. Imagine Hope Hicks in the clink, hello OITNB!

4 hours without a Lindsay Graham meme. Oh, whatever will we do?

R530 I'm still anxious that Barr is going to do something to try to block the release of those court documents. Can he appeal the ruling to a higher court? I'm assuming that the Cohen case was a Federal Case so the next higher court would be Supreme. Could they overrule the judge? Does the Supreme Court work that fast? Could he have the SDNY decide to reopen the case and thus shut down the disclosure of documents. I put nothing past him.

R533 you sound a bit obsessed to control what other people post. You have a block function for every post.

AP: Trump slams 4 congresswomen; crowd chants, 'Send her back!'

AP: Trump leans on issue of race in bid for a 2nd term in 2020

I'm so tired of being outraged at everything Trump says. He's just a shock jock. He thrives on attention and he should be ignored. Instead of reacting to him, it's time to focus on what is being done to cancel his one man show. I loved seeing how many people turned out to protest against him all across the country. It gave me hope. It fired me up. It's not serving any purpose to just to clutch our pearls, be outraged and move on to his next vile comment. He's rallying his people, we need our own rallies to Dump The Trump.

NO, R544, we just need to be good people who don't hold Nuremberg type rallies and scream obscenities or foolishness at others. I'm not interested in emulating deplorables. I'm interested in not voting for one.

It's not a high or low road, either. It's the right road.

"High road? Low road?"

Miss Lindsey is Trump's Sideshow Bob. I wonder what he's going to come up if Jane Does eventually goes after Trump for rape when she was 13.

Courthouse News' Adam Klasfeld is tweeting highlights from the just released Michael Cohen search warrant materials:

Breaking on @MSNBC: The unredacted search warrants in the Michael Cohen case describe a series of calls in October 2016 between Trump, Cohen, and Hope Hicks that the FBI says were regarding how to keep Stephanie Clifford (aka Stormy Daniels) from going public with her story.

Reuters: Documents on Trump ex-lawyer's porn star hush payment released

so I guess Hope Hicks is just too pretty and delicate to be indicted for being involved in a criminal conspiracy? I NEVER want to hear repubs whine about our justice system ever again

"Delicate"?

NBC: FBI believed Trump was closely involved in hush-money scheme, unsealed documents show

I have a question. People are saying Barr is stopping any further indictments but wasn't this case decided before he arrived? I forget when Cohen got formally indicted for this. Maybe I'm wrong but weren't Sessions and Rosenstein running the DOJ at the time? Or is this actually all Barr's doing?

R559, yes, all of this Cohen stuff was done well before the slob Barr.

The Epstein stuff, considering the recent developments, was also done prior to the hack Barr coming on at DOJ. If I had to guess, I'd say others involved let something drop when they got word the liar Barr would try to stop this Epstein thing.

Barr should never be trusted under ANY circumstances whatsoever. He's a political hack and nothing more than a roadblock thrown up to shield fat Donnie.

And what a blubbery roadblock he is!

I walked into the break room at work today and it was on Fox. The guy watching it said “I love this guy” re: Trump. I asked why. “He talks like someone I’d have a conversation with at a bar”. I told him he must talk to incoherent morons. He also dismissed the Epstein thing and brought up Clinton and said “trump gets results and that’s all I care about”.

Yes, results like a nothing burger wall, another indictment, another cabinet member resigning in disgrace, an economy roaring along for the benefit of the few while the deficit continues to multiply into the trillions, no middle class tax cut (remember that little tidbit before the 2018 elections?), and on and on.....and that's not including his bullshit crap about healthcare, North Korea, Iran, blah blah blah.

The only thing the creature in the WH has accomplished is further dividing us. Fine. Let's end this charade and negotiate an end to the union as it is. I no longer wish to share the same soil with the disgusting people who support the GOP agenda of hate.

The media needs to stop covering these fascist rallies of Trump. Don't even replay the highlights. Denounce them. And please CNN, stop giving these "both sides" debates on unequivalent arguments. Also, re-consider the hiring of ex-Trump/GOP operatives as pundits to spin, lie, and deflect. Kellyanne is more than enough for that shit.

Fuck. It's almost August and the Democrats haven't accomplished anything. How come they are all getting away with ignoring subpoenas?
