I am also flabbergasted by that. Fruman’s phone was out, people could see it, and the Secret Service just let it go. I’m stunned that the Secret Service doesn’t seize phones before going into meetings with the shitgibbon. And as for private dinners, what are they thinking? Do NONE of them remember the 43% comment captured by the BARTENDER at a Mitt Romney fundraiser?

How many of this clown’s weak-ass arguments do you have to effortlessly puncture before you can inquire about honorary degrees from the prestigious institutions of higher learning he has degrees from?

Basically, Cotton is enunciating proviso # 3,405 of IOKIYAR.

“Doesn’t it trouble you that …” is a suckers’s question. The G.O.P. playbook is to say no, then pivot to something else and lie to the nation through you. But what are you gonna do? It’s either ask the sucker’s question or not do the interview at all.

Wake me up in November. I’m a-gonna take another nap, dag nab it.

Of course, opposing a GOP criminal is not OK for a GOP supporter of the criminal.

I believe the troubling part about this recording is that Trump is telling a couple of “business associates” to “get rid of her” and to “take her out” sounds like an instruction for a hit as in a killing. If Trump were telling this to an advisor or the Secretary of State Cotton would be justified in his opinion. Because of who Trump is telling to “take her out” is a very large red flag that Republicans choose to ignore and justify as normal is very very troubling. Now Trump threatens Schiff. Open your eyes republicans.

Exactly! First thing I thought while reading the story, though you said it better than I could.

That’s a mighty fine euphemism for a drunk berating a woman, calling her a liar and then breaking into tears for the benefit of the kindly R senators who rushed to his side.

If badmouthing another government official is cause for removal from office, Trump should have been impeached a thousand times already.

President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that he ordered the killing of Iran’s top military commander last week to disrupt a previously undisclosed plot to attack the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.

“I will say this, we caught a total monster. We took him out. That should have happened a long time ago,” Trump said of Qassem Soleimani during an environmental event at the White House.

Correct me on faulty memory, but hasn’t Parnas admitted that it’s all bullshit and that he’s sorry he was involved?
