He is a bully who is used to getting his way. Yates is about to expose him for his dishonesty and hypocrisy. No one should be surprised at this. Maybe some day the GOP will grow a pair of balls and impeach him.
Either that or we work really hard and take back the House and Senate in 2018 so the Democrats can nail his orange ass.
I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before Richard Burr tells Trump to stop trying to influence the witness’s testimony with public threats.
After all, the Senate are the adults in the room, running the serious sober investigation.
ETA: My mistake. She isn’t even testifying before the SSIC today. This is a different subcommittee. Well, I’m sure Burr will invite her soon.
Ah yes the panel of enablers are shocked, shocked I tell you
You should have been outraged last summer
That wasn’t “beyond the pale” you twits?
Fucking hippocrites
Y’all (not you, the reader per se, but the collective goober y’all who elected Drumph) wanted an unfiltered tell it like it is President. That’s what we have. He doesn’t care if it’s legal or not for him to tweet this shit, he’s beyond the law. His attitude (on everything it seems) is “Oh, you can’t do that? Watch me!” Not a good trait for someone who is nominally the leader of the free world. Fucktarded hoofwanking bunglecunt comes to mind.
It’s witness intimidation, pure and simple. An old mob trick.
I won’t be surprised if Ms. Yates finds a dead canary next to her water glass at today’s hearing given how many in the senate are tied to the PeePee Crime Family.
Beyond the pale, but not beyond the orange.
5 Star ***** I’ll go with that
“Beyond the pale” only means something when there is accountability for the shithead that goes beyond.
Hand-wringing and gasping does nothing in the face of this shameless fascist.
They’re right, of course, but even more interesting is that John King and Dana Bash used to be married.
Yup. And she’s about to stand up to that bully.
High Crimes and Misdemeanors isn’t about not paying your parking tickets. It’s about undermining democracy, not statutory infractions. This is the kind of thing that will get hung on him if we ever get past the Palace Guard, i.e. Republican Congress.
Or…
Or…
Also, what’s really funny is that the natural inference from Trump’s tweet is that the White House Council (sic) leaked the information.
World-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall:
“In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals. In order to impress rivals, males seeking to rise in the dominance hierarchy perform spectacular displays: stamping, slapping the ground, dragging branches, throwing rocks.”
But @captaincommonsense, the pearl burns…
An “armada” of whaaambulances will be steaming to CNN headquarters as they squeak!
Hope the “armada” can get where they’re supposed to go…
Now if Pickett were in Charge, we’d get results.
He had a big heart, too.
Jane Goodall? You mean the contributor to Ivanka’s “Zen and the art of being a rich bitch”?
For the President of the United States to be this aggressive with somebody who used to work for him, who is coming before the United States Congress with sworn testimony hours later, is beyond the pale. It just is.”
“Who’s the current president again?” #askinforafriend
Hey, who are you going to believe: an officer of the court, or a guy who paid out $25 million to settle fraud lawsuits?
“I started, before I got into covering politics all the time, I used to cover the courts a lot. A lawyer would call that witness intimidation,” he added.
“Completely,” CNN reporter Dana Bash said in response. “Look, I think we have all been kind of desensitized in some way to his tweets and to his statements that are so out of the norm. This is beyond out of the norm. This is inappropriate."
Psst…Dana? You already agreed. Its not just inappropriate, its illegal. Its called witness intimidation.
