Outrage level: high.
Interpretation: Spankee and Ma Hamhocks are worried and bothered about this.

âLetâs look at the people that they brought before their committee to make their case, Michael Cohen, convicted, had to go to jailâŚThe fact that these are star witnesses tells me everything that they need to know."
Emm, do you remember the relationship between Cohen and Trump? Remind me again why he was involved in the first place? It did tell everything we need to know about Trump.
Donât worry, Sarah, in 40 years you, too, could be testifying before Congress as a convicted felon.
You Betcha
America knows that John Dean came out and told the truth in Watergate
They trust him to tell us the truth now.
Spankee and Ma Hamhocks have never met this âtruthâ and wouldnât know it if was sitting in front of them
What a joke. The projection and degradation of the WH repeats itself every day as they deal with the narcissist that they all despise, but absolutely fear. Wonder what Sarah will do when this is over? Guess spend more time with her familyâŚ
IIRC, Cohen is resting in the slam for a crime he committed at the request of Individual One.
Who could that be?
How long before all the wheels come off the Trump Bus?
How long before they run out of steam? Trump loves steam, but itâs not always reliable. Sometimes the water isnât hot enough, or the sun doesnât shine. You need to be an Einstein to do steam.
This fits into Nixonâs Southern Strategy and itâs worked well, so farâŚ
This against a backdrop of the Trump White House being a complete and colossal embarrassment for the U.S.
Why the hell Dems have a difficult time convincing the public Muellerâs work has merit is a mystery. The only explanation has to be the manifest idiocy and ambivalence of their audience, it canât be due to Muellerâs actual results. Trumpâs campaign manager Paul Manafort is in jail. Cohen was both his personal lawyer and Deputy Finance Chairman of the Republican National Committee, now in jail. Rick Gates was Trumpâs Deputy Campaign manager under Manafort, and then continued in that role for Steve Bannon after Manafortâs resignation. Gates was also the Deputy Chairman of the Donald Trump Inaugural Committee, now awaiting sentencing. Mike Flynn was his National Security Advisor, now awaiting sentencing. No one can name any President in history with so many high level people convicted of crimes and in jail or awaiting jail. Yet Trump is succeeding in both thwarting widespread dissemination of the facts behind the facts to the public, along with convincing wide swaths of the public the entire episode is a concoction of the fevered minds of Dem losers.
An alien from another planet, landing on Earth, might observe it all and ask âDo these beings you call âDemocratsâ govern as poorly when theyâre in power as they communicate with the citizens when theyâre not in power?â
Bringing Dean in and making gym and gaetz look like complete douches must have workedâŚ
Dean was a compelling witness during Watergate, he is a compelling witness now during Spankygate.
I thank Trump for promoting this event.
The 2 min John Dean segment where he destroys Matt Gaetz is a good trailer for the show.
The performance of Joyce White Vance and Barbara McCquade is the real story though. Essentially, from the prosecutors view, Trump would be indicted and convicted on obstruction based on what is in the redacted version of the Mueller Report alone! This is something that is lost on a lot of Dems, especially impeachment skeptics, due in part to Speaker Pelosiâs rhetoric that they need to âfind evidenceâ as a rhetorical sleight of hand to kick this can far down the road into late 2019.
It was actually a pretty good dress rehearsal as to what an actual impeachment inquiry might look like. Part of it would be to have experts weigh in on the witness testimony and explain to people what obstruction of justice is, why underlying crimes are not and should not be required to find a person guilty of such crime, and how the evidence presented by Mueller meets all of the elements for a conviction.
So, again, whatâs the story here? Iâm genuinely worried that a lot of the sidebar content at TPM is âquick mixâ repetition of Republican memes. In general, in the press, Iâve read a ton about what Republicans said about and to Dean, and little about what either the Democrats said or what Dean said. This is a real problem, folks. You canât educate the public about the Mueller report if even your integrity news sites spend most of their time talking about Republican counterspin. To save everyone some time and money, let me write the final story.

Headline: Democrats do Something, Republicans Reply with Dishonest Sarcasm, Meant to Obscure Real Issues
There. Itâs done. Letâs stop the madness, and create new story lines that serve better purposes, like, indeed, educating ourselves and the public. Which TPM does better than most, which is why Iâm getting frustrated that even here the GOP seems to be given the privilege of framing the story.
Well, you would think the WH is the perfect place to recognize a âComplete and Colossal Embarrassmentâ however self-awareness is not their strong suit.
My thoughts exactly.
Before I signed on today, I said to myselfâŚâMaybe Team Trump will wise upâŚâ
Then, reality hit.
Its been nearly 90 days since this Inartful Dodger, Bullshit Artist and drab Pearl-Popping Mama has given the country an actual White House briefing. I guess its useless to say that our taxes are paying her $179,700 to do her government paid job as the Press Secretary.
Btw, the âPressâ doesnât only refer to Faux Nooze Propaganda and tRump State-approved TV or rightwing media onlyâŚbut thatâs apparently all we end up getting from this haughty bitch.
Sheâs the fucking embarrassment. The woman canât even manage to do the job sheâs supposed to because âpeople are being too mean to me.â
.
This woman said she was leaving at the end of 2018 and here she still is showing up in article after article to complain about one dumb thing after another.
Q: Why isnât she gone like she promised???
A: $179,700 of free tax money doing basically nothing, just like so many of these fucking grifters.
(Btw, I know kids that work harder at MickeyDs making a pittance to keep their jobs).
