In light of news that State Department officials actively pressed Ukraine to announce a probe into former Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for a White House visit, President Trump is, once again, proclaiming his innocence.
I believe that Trump has no idea of how a democracy is suppose to look and work. All of this is because deals in “transactions”.
AAhhhh! It’s going to be a crazy-ass day, and I won’t be able to keep up…again.
On the bright side – I have off today, and there’s a 1.5L bottle of Cabernet on my kitchen table!
To heck with just believing it. It’s now a verifiable fact.
I have to say his phrasing makes his crimes sound righteous.
Will that be enough? Does Uber Eats also deliver alcohol? Do you have enough nibbles to keep you going?
Hitler was good at that too.
Memo to Trumpers you meet at the local bar, or at Thanksgiving: nothing Trump says has to be truthful unless he’s under oath. Are they anxious for him to testify under oath so he can clear the air once and for all? (We haven’t seen the actual transcripts yet, remember. They’ll come out, just like Nixon’s tapes did.)
And when he’s testifying, here’s Trump’s role model:
This is the end game for Trump. Asking foreign countries to meddle in our elections is okay. It happens all the time (which is sadly true for Trump). In effect, he’s seeking to normalize an impeachable offense. Is this the new GOP talking point? If it is, and Trump isn’t removed from office, we will never have a fair and free election again. Trump will “win” in 2020, regardless of the actual votes.
I’ve read that Mussolini also had charisma.
Good Lord, there are needy orphans everywhere! Are you people heartless?

I’m making a run to Total Wine for a carboy of cabernet.
Trump Claims Foreign Political Pressure Campaigns Happen ‘All The Time’
Well, that part is true, of course.
It’s the rest of Trump’s m. o. that’s, well, par for him – and Nixon – and Reagan – and … well, maybe there’s a pattern here somewhere.
Hmm I wonder if foreign interference will cancel out or enhance the Republican’s suppression campaign?
He’s now avoiding the “election” part. Dems better emphasize this part to take control of the narrative.
It is only Friday Morning! What is the Friday evening dump going to look like?
Oh, great, here we are at the “so whaddya gonna do about it?” stage.
This is getting tiresome.
Somebody needs to cancel The Spankee Show. And burn all copies.
If you don’t have delivery in your area, should probably make a quick liquor store run… an Impeachment Friday on a week like this should have some interesting developments later.
ETA: I see @lastroth had the same concerns…
Working with foreign governments is specifically forbidden in the Constitution, so my question is where are the members of The Federalist Society, the people who “say” they want to go back to the original intent of that document, I know some of the elected Republicans love to tout their bonafides in that group, but I don’t expect anything from the, but where are the others. i.e. Ann Coulter, Sam Alito, Alex Acosta, Orin Hatch, John Roberts etc.?
Remember when this scandal was surely going to bring Donald Trump down?
Sorry. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed (the one where my phone was charging).
