They do know Three Amigos was a stupid, stupid, bad movie, right? But then again, one reviewer said of the movie, “The movie celebrates stupidity - and it is almost contagious.” so maybe it’s apt.

Even worse than that, the last “Three Amigos” were John McCain, Joe Lieberman, and Lindsey Graham.

I guess it sounds better than “the three cabrones”.

This bit casts Volker in a different light than the saintly one used up until now. Hope we get more on this.

The indictment grows.

Meanwhile, @Nicole_Lafond, that’s “Yovanovitch” Two o’s one a.

He might be the place to put the lever. Take away his glasses first - and he’ll cave like wet sheetrock.

I’m wondering if Kushner has any role in Ukrainegate since he seems to be the Nepotistic-Shadow-SecState!
