I know this is snark, but I’m getting tired of the “lock him/her up” even as that.

Don’t lock her up!!

[edhedh]

So, she declined to be part of the conspiracy, and was summarily removed from her position.
Yeah, that’s pretty bad.

some might even say, “Nasty”

Now THAT’S the kind of headline I’ve been looking for!

With Schiff in charge, Sondland doesn’t get a preview of what others are saying to align his testimony.

I humbly suggest that’s true only if Devin Nunes in locked in the Gimp cage in a back room.

There is something so disturbing with having a Trump Shadow Government attempting foreign policy when the ACTUAL government under his control is in such disarray.

[rucleare]

This is a class act of an opening statement from a class act public servant. No wonder they couldn’t keep her around.

[left_in_washington_state]

You have his number…down to the smallest decimal point!

[benthere]

Agree, if it’s ala Pulp Fiction in execution…

[castor_troy]

Are you sure?

[carolson]

And wait until the rot in the GOP senate comes out. I’m sure Trump is holding that over MM et al, but it’s inevitable someone will leak. Thank you, John Roberts and Citizens United, for making all this possible.

Eloquent and aware.

More Potential Whistleblowers Are Contacting Congress

“All lines are currently busy, but your whistleblowing complaint is very important to us. Please hold for the next available investigator.”

This is great news! For John McCain!

@edhedh

true, but it is tough to blackmail his ass when you are involved in some of the same activities. my suggestion is to follow the rubles.

True, but McConnells smart enough to have covered his ass and his caucus’ collective ass. Trump isn’t. He’s one of those outrageously stupid and narcissistic people who always thinks he’s got the upper hand even when he clearly doesn’t. He’s the type who doesn’t think he needs blackmail on others because he doesn’t think they’ll ever go against him. Donnie doesn’t do CYA. He probably thinks it means Call Ya Afterwards.

@irasdad

And in truly Russian fashion – before he can sing – probably out of a high-rise window.

I’ve already declared next week Defenestration Week. Rudy could be the Monday feature.

[tena]

I predicted this at least a week ago. I just knew more would start coming out.

[randome]

Here they come. Trump, Pence, Giuliani and Barr all singing, “We’re the monkeys!” (In a slightly different context than originally intended.)

@pluckyinky

Donnie doesn’t do CYA. He probably thinks it means Call Ya Afterwards.

trump thinks that if he openly breaks the law it doesn’t really count.

“ To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery. ” —Octavia E. Butler (Parable of the Talents)

Thanks for the quote.
