We havenāt seen anything yet.
If there was a āBlastā in this little report, Iām afraid I missed it.
This is to set up the rwing smear machine, by introducing the new line āof needed investigationā to Benghazi!!! and Her Emails!!! with Senate hearings and fox news spew for the next 18 months or so.
Just another variation of the ratfucking gaslighting by flamboyant GOP assholes aka political operatives.
This was a trail balloon that came crashing down on their heads. The last thing the Trump party expected was for Democrats to forcefully push back and protect their own.
A campaign official responded in a statement to CNN: āItās great to see all these strong progressive voices stand up to this attempt at a blatantly political smear which in and of itself reflects the urgent need for change and to restore the soul of the country.ā
Theyāre calling it a āpolitical smearā? Willie Horton was a political smear. Birtherism was a political smear. This is an appalling use of state power to blackmail a foreign country into initiating an investigation of your political opponent. Blatantly illegal and anti-democratic. This response seems very tepid to me. At least other Democrats have been much more forceful in their response.
45 is a graduate of the Roy Cohn/Richard Nixon/Plumbers/CREEP school of slander and dirty tricks, amplified and spread wide and far with 21st century media. We can expect more and more of thisā¦I hope the people at echelons above my pay grade are sorting out how to combat it.
Agreed. Itās āpoliticalā for the president to enlist the aid of foreign countries against his domestic opponents?? (Anyhow, there isnāt anything wrong with engaging in politics if youāre a politician.)
Agreed.
Trump will insist on making 2020 into a vicious knife-fight (and heāll bring a pistol). I donāt know if this kind of response will do any good.
So we can OD on BothSiderism?
Joe can handle himself and I suspect he will. In terms of legal exposure, I would take Joe Biden over Rudy.
Jailianiā¦and, as this unfolds, if there is genuine Congressional Oversight, Jailiani will be as much in the crosshairs as McGahn or Barr
But this is really about the BlockOut Trump is working on HIS misdeeds. And there is no BothSides on that. Trump is dirty, corrupted and has a date with Congressional Impeachment.
We combat it by staying united and push back hard. We combat it by not getting hysterical, not turning on each other and leveling our ire at the GOP instead of each other. For now on we protect our own, we circle the wagons and fight back as one.
This is not over. Rudy is now insisting that Barr investigate Biden. Rudyās claim was debunked by Ukrainians. If Barr does this, no one is safe.
I have always known Donald Trump is a fucking idiot. I have known that since the 1980s.
But I never really knew the depths of his idiocy until he sent someone like Rudy Giuliani out to try to get the help of a foreign government in an attempt to start a conspiracy theory against his most feared rival in the 2020 presidential election.
Itās like the Mafia hiring Stevie Wonder to take a .44 Magnum and do a hit job on a stool pigeon.
Donald J. Trump is a hateful, petulant sow.
Biden still has not called for Trump to be impeached. Biden is a dance arounder.
If there is anything that might jump-start Impeachment, this might be it.
Works for me!
If Barr does this we impeach him, drag him through the mud and leave him crying for daddy. Make an example of that fat fāk that no one will forget.
Damn, you are good, Giuliani claimed the meeting was a āsetupā ā¦
Yes, yes ! It was a cunning, dastardly plan to lure an unsuspecting Rudy into a meeting to talk about adoption.
