Yeah, remember all the burning and torturing of Christians, all the pogroms, and all the re-education camps under Obama? Yeah – good times.
Yeah but will his cultists really care anymore once he’s out of power? I really question that. His value for them is as president. They ignored him before he started campaigning. Half of them probably barely knew who he was.
I think there’s a typo – shouldn’t that be “free exercise of bigotry”?
Exactly. When your ostensible religion says “Thou shalt f*ck over anyone not of your religion but especially queers and colored people” you got a tough job living in the US.
The eagle has landed.
Not much new news here, but still a bombshell due to its source, verifying what has been previously reported. Thank you for your service to this country, Amb. Taylor. Did you hear about that distracting lynching?
I have to ask, who took those photos of Taylor’s document? Maybe someone should invest in a remedial course of doc photography 101.
Edit: it is now obvious that Taylor (a known detail guy) was documenting the Sondland conversations for historical record, despite Sondland (a real estate guy who bought an Ambassadorship to the “EU”, which Ukraine is not a part of). Twice now, Taylor texted Sondland to decry the military aid extortion for public political Burisma investigation. Twice Sondland told him to ‘go for the phone’.
What is curious is, we wonder about what Trump will say tomorrow. But I highly suspect that is an inaccurate description.
What we are waiting for is what will Trump derive as he wakes up, does his morning adderalls, and tunes into the real source of his thoughts, the RW media machines?
It is Steve Doocy’s world. He will make it all better Donald.
Tomorrow when Trump cracks the whip, Mitch is going to suddenly remember how perfect that call was. Just like Ms. Lindsay finally understood Trump strategy in Syria when Trump explained to him over the weekend, he now believes it’s going to work.
Not sure why Dems don’t use that video in ads. It’s perfect. Shows Trump for the cowardly scum that a real American rejects.
I’m with you. Trump would have double-crossed and backstabbed Zelensky as soon as he got what he wanted. It’s his lifelong M.O.
Go down “crying all the way!”
trumPP will run in 2020 no matter the status of his presidency and no matter how hard the Speaker and her gang are breathing down his throat. To become a private citizen is what he dreads most, all sorts of legal problems will ensue. OTOH if he’s a private citizen he can once again work on making the $3-5B he tells us he lost by going into government.
The bogus Benghazi and bogus Burisma were equally corrupt schemes pulled from the same playbook.
As Americans, we understand how utterly repellent Trump’s presidency has been to us, to many of our citizens. and our standing in the world. But for Ukraine, his threats became a literal existential crisis for them -even though Congress had approved funds for their defense and fully expected those funds to be delivered without delay. Instead, Ukraine was forced to either do what Trump demanded or watch Russia swallow them whole. Trump not only threatened Ukraine’s national security, but, indirectly, our security as well. This debacle just reinforces the message to our allies that while Trump is President, they are isolated and on their own. He really has to go.
Of course!

Igor Fruman, one of the two associates of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani who are facing criminal charges in New York, has retained a defense lawyer who is also representing former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
“Never a fan.”
Didn’t Trey Gowdy say a while ago that the hearings on Benghazi were to destroy HC?
Ted Cruz might pull a few out of the shrubbery.
Well, shortly after their meeting where Trump told Zelenskyy to work something out with Putin, Zelensky gave up Donbas. So you’re right.
He couldn’t pull enough out of the shrubbery to come close to beating Trump in the primary in 2016 and he lost a lot of that shrubbery in Texas to Beto and probably lost that election. It’s just that Texas votes in a lot of counties on Diebold evoters.
