Wait a minuteā€“isnā€™t this woman supposed to be living NYC public housing to find out the deplorable conditions to try to help? What is she gallavanting in DC on a weekday for (better not be on taxpayer dime)ā€“she already gets to spend her weekends in Trump Tower.

edit: not sure why this showed up as a reply to you cablemonkey

Dalene Kurtis (a playmate) and Jenna Jameson are Trumpers.

This hearing would be amazing if they started bringing up individuals to vouch for Trump. A playmate, a porn star, a Hispanic, a black friend, a gay friend, a Muslim, an ex wife, a vendor he paid. Then bring in a bunch of Russians he screwed over.

At least Wallace kinda sorta reformed himself. The transformation may not have been complete, but it was better that the Trumpistas will ever do.

I am honored to be the special guest of @RepMarkMeadows today. I am here in support of @POTUS and in support of the truth, as Michael Cohen (knows that I know) it to be.

Put correctly, Cohen knows that i am standing here under threat of being terminated.They picked my name out of the hat to be sacrificed.

Exactly. And it was a record settlement at the time

And Trump apartments had this reputation for decades.

Each Republican shouldā€™ve been assigned a minority friend of Trumpā€™s to bring to the hearing to refute any claims of bias or discrimination. The sight of all these angry white people screaming at Cohen while having some sad looking human tool stand behind them as the token of exploitation. I think it would have been too much to handle for us.

Ah yes - the ā€œIā€™m not a racist because I have black people who work for me and say Iā€™m not a racistā€ defense. :unamused:

Meadows started the questioning by asking Cohen if he knew Lynne Patton, who worked at the Trump Organization and the Trump Foundation before being appointed by Trump to a top job at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Nice job at the Foundation, Ms. Patton. (No comment on the HUD appointmentā€¦)

I dunno, maybe it was just me, but I thought Attorney General Elliot Richardson telling Richard Milhous Nixon to fuck off late one Saturday night was pretty heroic.

Lowell Weicker when he was a Republican was pretty decent. I mean, he got fucking William F. Buckley to endorse a Democrat running against him. So, just for getting under Buckleyā€™s ugly skin, I give him props.

Wasnā€™t Pete McCloskey a Republican? He was a pretty decent guy.

All of these were before Reagan and the Dixiecrat takeover of the GOP.

Itā€™s not ā€œBizarre Logic,ā€ itā€™s a logical fallacy.

Hello!
My name is Lynn Patton!
I am here today as a token and a prop for a dog whistling crypto segregationist racist named Mark Meadows.
I was never in Birmingham myself when Bull Connor let loose the dogs and fire hoses on elementary and high school children. But my father was born in Birmingham. Ergo, Donald Trump, whose father was a KKK member, could not possibly be a racist.

They are doing the same here. Trotting at their one black supporter to prove Trump is not racist, despite all his public statements of racism (as long ago as the Spike Lee tweet Monday).

Interesting to note that Meadows specifically mentioned ā€œprivateā€ Trump racism statements only.

she would never work for a racist.

Cohen had a snarky comment to that. ā€œMy father was a holocaust survivor and I worked for Trumpā€ (paraphrase)

Anyone else think itā€™s not a coincidence that sheā€™s wearing the same jacket that AOC wore to the State of the Union address?

Whatā€™s next? Some porn star Trump didnā€™t sleep with is going to stand up wearing Nancy Pelosiā€™s red Max Mara coat?

Yes, I nearly forgot about Richardson and the GOPers of the Watergate eraā€¦my bad.

Word.

Meadows already is a clueless racist. He just made it more known to the 7 Billion people who live outside his district.

Nixon for starting EPA.

Itā€™s ok. It is easy to forget that the Republican Party once had a pretty strong Pragmatic contingent, and an Anti Vietnam War, Liberal Contingent. The contingent that rose up when Barry Goldwater ran for the nomination, as described in Richard Hofstadterā€™s The Paranoid Style in American Politics, came back with Reagan and have ruled the GOP and many parts of the country during the entire lifetime of many people. One day these people will feel like those who were born, lived and died before the Boston Red Sox won the World Series again in 2004.
