NYT: Bolton Told Barr He Was Worried Trump Was Doing Favors For Xi, Erdogan | Talking Points Memo

[mondfledermaus]

There’s a NYT article arguing that Roberts could subpoena Bolton or anyone else on his own initiative, and it would take a 2/3 vote to override. I don’t think he has the balls to do that,

It was agree in this forum that to be Heroic you need a vagina, balls are too delicate.

Just wait. That’s coming, as soon as he is out of office.

What will the GOP be like after that happens, I wonder? They are more like a cult than a political party, so what will happen when their leader is gone?

This is the real American Carnage.

That’s the thing, trump has done one thing, drawn all the crooks into one place. Now all we gotta do is figure out how to squish them all.

I love this almost as much as the “No/No but in yellow” pie chart.

As we watch this GOP exercise in self-preservation, we should think of the mayor of Wuhan, a bureaucrat who found himself gambling that incompetence and luck was good enough. They’re not.

so what will happen when their leader is gone?

Depending on how serious folks are, the modern GOP becomes the Whigs 1.0.

Though I did

A) Unless folks understand what’s at stake for the next four years, Trump isn’t going anywhere. He gets to gloat and strut, but after this week (?), it’s on the voters.

B) Bolton didn’t want this to come out now. It was going to and it would have singed him, but the best thing from this is that he’s now an example of ETTD.

Mitch has assured them that every little thing is going to be alright.

You saw Lou Dobbs tonight? (not joking)

I dozed off.

Considering that it’s Dobbs, I’m almost scared to watch now.

The criminality of this administration is mind boggling!

Mos Eisley called. They want their hive back.

The difference between a money launderer and a hedge fund manager is just how the principal was obtained. Was it an actual crime, or an outrage rendered all the more outrageous for not being illegal?

So I really want to know what favor, within this international cobweb of quids and quos, did Ergodan give up to whom, for his license to hunt Kurds.

I’ll buy his book, because I heard it makes a great door stop.

Plus think of all the birdcage floors it could cover.

Hang it from the TP prongs in a carnival porta-potty.

Are you saying he’s going to go through some things?

[rascal_crone]

Everyone thought it would be Stormy, so I’m not thinking this will be it either.

[rascal_crone]

What a day this has been, what a rare mood I’m in…

……if only they’d give him the shove.

[sandyh]

As Pelosi sort of said at the beginning of this, “I don’t care if he gets impeached. I just want him in jail.” Let’s keep our priorities straight.

And Mitch never lies…
