Absolutely. Bannon probably carries one around for every one of the filthy executive orders he helped frame.

One of the House managers who will prosecute this trial has an uncanny resemblance to my former department’s business manager. I thought for a moment she’d got elected to Congress…
Welp, now that the Articles have been read to the Senate, the White House lawyers can’t crow that trump hasn’t been impeached.

Mitch,now what ?

"The White House violated federal law in its hold on security aid to Ukraine last year, according to a decision by a congressional watchdog released on Thursday.

The Government Accountability Office, a nonpartisan agency that reports to Congress, found the Trump administration violated a law that governs how the White House disburses money approved by Congress."

The multiple alarm fires that surround Mitch right now are pretty substantial.

And I don’t see anyone coming 'round to help put them out.

Acoustic version??

A 170-year-old Rhode Island company supplies the gold-plated pens President Donald Trump hands out as souvenirs after he signs executive orders. A.T. Cross has made fancy pens for at least seven U.S. presidents, but aims to stay out of politics.

There’s even a video showing Trump giving away the gold plated pens after signings and an interview with the company that makes presidential pens. They’ve been doing it for a long time.

For how much longer can Republicans continue to claim that all of this is a witch hunt, and that everything the POTUS has done is normal and Presidential when reality says otherwise?

Yes, but one of these things is not like the other.

Democrats doing this is a shill.

Republicans doing this is all fine.

@tsp, the GOP can continue to claim this until their supporters and minions and money drivers say they can stop. Facts don’t matter. Power does. Never forget.

It must be recognized that Ukraine drifted toward HRC in the 2016 campaign because tRump was already in the Russian orbit after stating Crimea belonged the Russia.
