President Trump’s advisers and allies didn’t get the heads up before he launched attacks against ousted Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch Friday morning while her public testimony in the House impeachment probe was underway.
Are there any witnesses who are black? Asking for a friend.
The Times reported that Trump did not get approval for his Friday tweets
Now that’s going to sting.
Approval for his tweets, since when? He doesn’t listen to anyone.
This guy is a nasty piece of work and am happy to see his world blowing up and there’s not a bloody thing he can do about it.
Swamp
And it’s all Trump’s doing.
His acolytes won’t care that he put the nation’s security at risk cuz they got to “own them libtards fer 10 minutes”.
Trump, on a good day, doesn’t understand the consequences of his actions. But being hermetically sealed in a cocoon of right wing fanaticism has deprived him of the sense where average Americans are and just how bad this was for him.
Also, tremendous credit to Chairman Schiff and his staff who were fast on their feet and took maximal advantage of Trump’s mistake. It changed the atmosphere of the proceedings.
Trump’s instincts are failing him now and that’s pretty much all he has. That’s all he’s ever counted on. Doesn’t read, doesn’t do his homework, doesn’t prepare. It’s a huge danger sign furiously blinking red.
According to a pool report Friday, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham defended Trump’s tweets by arguing that they were “simply the President’s opinion.”
If I am understanding this correctly, the statements of Benadick Donnie two scoops has been parsed by the press secretary to be that of the ravings of some guy at a bar, not the President of the United States that should be representing US foreign policy.
Sounds about right.
Of course Trump’s tweets during the hearing were ill-advised, blindsided his advisers, and were damaging to him. That’s what makes him so effective. 
Are you kidding? We’re dealing with the foreign service. In the Trump Administration, they’re only qualified for domestic work.
Probably not, unless Ben Carson happened to overhear something. (The absence of other possible witnesses is a bit suspicious. It is almost as if Trump didn’t like or trust black people.)
There’s no way I could hold my temper like Schiff can
I commend that ability. And how deft he was with Trump’s stupidly timed and ill conceived tweet.
Ask Roger Stone how his “right to free speech” went in the context of a legal proceeding.

Uh huh. #OKTrumper

“The President’s opinion,” which, of course, is precisely the problem (plus the implied threats).
Stable genius at work. It’s not that Trumpski thinks he is smarter than any one person. He thinks he is smarter than everybody in the world, all the time. His advisors don’t have a chance. That includes pretty much everyone on Earth, except Putin.
If we cannot actually prove him wrong on this point, the error may not really mean much. (So far, he has gotten away with a literally unbelievable amount of graft, corruption and even criminal activity, with no real consequences.)
No one puts this big fat baby in a corner. And only nancy boys ask for permission when speaking truth to deep state lies. The Drumpf shall not and will not be denied his 1st Amendment rights to confront his accuser / besmeercher in real time. God bless his undersized tweeting fingers and may he contine to spout off whenever he sees fit.
President Trump’s advisers and allies didn’t get the heads up before he launched attacks against ousted Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch…
Since nothing like this has ever happened before, Trump’s allies and advisors were completely shocked.
Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed to have some recordings …
But he’s not paying attention to the hearings…
