Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted that Ambassador Gordon Sondland’s public testimony on Wednesday dealt a major blow to Republicans’ defense of President Donald Trump in the impeachment investigation.
Some of the Wingnut-sphere outfits like the National Review, they basically stopped covering the whole thing… you would think that what’s going on in the house is a procedural vote on renaming a federal building… not a peep… they must ran out excuses and just playing ostrich now.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it’s just a part of it
We’ve got to fulfill the book
Won’t you have to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had
Redemption songs
All I ever had
Redemption songs
These songs of freedom
Songs of freedom
This would be the point where an experienced politician would negotiate a resignation.
However… Trump will somehow double down.
And by 'very damaging ’ Bret means it in the sense a wooden stake through the heart is 'very damaging ’ to Count Dracula.
As per LBJ’s famous Cronkite quote, if you’ve lost Fox News . . . .
“Very damaging,” as in Checkmate!
Impeach the motherfucker(s) NOW!!!
I don’t know how much longer Devin Nunes can describe this as a “circus” because it’s taking on quite an ominous tone. Schiff reminded everyone today about one of the charges to Nixon was obstruction, so the GOP talking points (script) go nowhere and the snark just looks ridiculous. I’d like to see Nunes try that in front of a judge and get hammered for contempt.
No matter what the stain is still there.
Sondland had a great time till he didn’t then he bailed.
His bus was just a little speedier.
Anybody see The Cowmaster’s face after the Democrats got done with the Money Thumb?
His face looked like the sheriff’s deputy who was humiliated in court by an angry judge after ticketing my old man at a speed trap.
“Gordland”! Hah, I love it!
Please send your money to the Cantaloupes for Devin Kickstarter. Schiff has already promised to donate his old microwave.
Rich Lowry, who writes specious right wing editorials for POLITICO ( a source apparently useful to the GOP defense) was hand picked by none other than William F Buckley, GOP hypocrite extraordinaire, as an editor at the National Review…
In my opinion, Trump will resign when the release of his financial records and/or tax returns is imminent. Until then, he’ll ride out any storm.
Jon Stewart once used the line "he looks like a wax dummy of Danny Viejo that was left out in the rain, " to describe the late dictator Muammar Gadhafi.
He could have used it to describe the face of The Cowmaster.
I think Trump is a long way from losing FOX. And I think Baier’s statement is sort of analogous to Joe Manchin’s yesterday. Well, very damaging. It will be fascinating to see the (GOP) Cross-Examination of Sondland… Yes,yes, yes, it will be totally fascinating because Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows and their counsel are Cross Examiners who are clearly as skilled as Max Steuer. It will be fascinating watching them make fools of themselves. Yet again.
Nothing is damaging to Dear Leader! Nothing ever can be! Trump is invincible! He won by a landslide! He is beloved throughout the land! The rest of the world cowers before him! He alone made America great again! Republicans are winning elections everywhere! Nobody booed him at sporting events! He can predict hurricanes, and he threatens to nuke them if they get too close! Babies orphaned by mass shooters love him! So do evangelicals and porn stars!
What I’m saying is, I wouldn’t look to Bret Baier for Shep Smith-style straight talkin’, at least not for very long. Fox is overcommitted and will never admit they fucked up.
I fear you’re actually correct about Fox but I couldn’t resist the Cronkite reference. And yeah, cross-ex is going to be fascinating.
Presumably, that’s his cable address.
In any case, I don’t think I’ve heard this one since Nuremberg 1946 (okay, and once in Israel in 1961):
“As a presidential appointee, I followed the directions of the President,” Gordland [sic] said in his opening statement. “We worked with Mr. Giuliani because the President directed us to do so.”
I’m just hoping that the Republicans hanging on to Trump’s coat tails are gorilla glued on there tight. Trump is not the only one who needs to be ousted.
