House Impeachment Managers Turned Process Debate Into Substance. Instead of fighting on procedural grounds, they laid out the case of the President’s crimes. They have their shit together. BTW, McConnell gave Susan Collins permission to vote for one of those subpoenas. As if that’s gonna give her enough cover. She is the Cathy Cloutier of US Senators.
What Could This NSC Official Have Possibly Been Doing? I mean, when Trump Administration officials frog-march you off the grounds, you were either doing something very bad or something very good. A story that has generally been lost in the fog of impeachment.
Why Hillary Clinton May Cause D’s To Lose Two Consecutive Presidential Elections. Seriously, she decides to go after Bernie? For what purpose? For imaginary revenge? Need I remind you that, during the closing weeks of the campaign when Hillary was largely absent from the campaign trail b/c she was begging her west coast and east coast deep-pocket campaign contributors for yet more money, Bernie was out on the trail for her? BTW, try to guess what ‘panties-in-a-bunch’ blog trog wrote this after reading this article from The Atlantic:
These progressive activists need to grow the fuck up. This is a democracy, and if your candidate doesn’t win, then you have to suck it up and work for the greater good. If you act like a crybaby, then you are with Trump and are Trump and you have ensured his reelection.
He calls for Hillary Clinton and her corporate capitalist DINOs to grow the fuck up…never. I wonder how many Goldman Sachs DINO’s will openly support Bernie. Actually, I don’t.
How Microsoft Avoided Huge Tax Bills. Brilliant investigative reporting. BTW, one reason why Microsoft ultimately triumphed was the passage of ‘bipartisan’ legislation enabling them to escape the IRS’ grasp. Would it shock you to know that Microsoft ranks in the Top 10 of Chris Coons’ contributors?
Bezos’ Phone Hacked By Saudi Prince. At the risk of oversimplifying things, Trump hates Bezos and caters to every whim of the Saudi Prince. Bezos owns the Washington Post. The Saudi Prince killed a Washington Post reporter. Trump did nothing. On this one, I am a conspiracy theorist.
What do you want to talk about?
Happy birthday to the great Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci. Born on this day in 1891 in the tiny village l’commune di Ales, Oristano, Sardinia.
Gramsci was jailed and allowed to languish in poor health for years. Think….Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, Mumia Abu Jamal, …..
I’m trying to think of right-wingers who met similar fates, but none come to mind.
Yes! We took up Lula’s cause. Now we’re on Chelsea. We need to get her out. Political prisoner.
Also, Reality Winner. Maybe Glenn Greenwald soon.

Before Judge Laster’s preliminary decision it was “we can’t just throw money at the problem”. Now our elected officials are falling over each other to show their commitment. Maybe I shouldn’t be so snarky and just be grateful things are finally happening.
That’s exactly what I thought.
Along with ‘It’s an election year’.
BTW, the Dem managers look clueless and irrational, making speeches but offering no substance. When will you morons get some sense?
Trump is stroking it while watching Pencil Neck.
Yeah so “NIT”witty
Rep Kowalko
Let’s also acknowledge your entire family. “Dim”witty and “Half”witty,
Rep. Kowalko
You are right Dim Witty…..where are the documents and witnesses to back their claims!
All necessary materials are hidden in Trump’s inner sanctum and denied public access with the abetting of Tortoise Mitch (another criminal and anti-American traitor) and all witnesses are threatened/coerced/ordered by the Orange idiot to not testify. Obvious and simple treachery and betrayal of America and the American people.
