Schiff & D’s Lay Out Devastating Case.  I don’t need any link. That multimedia presentation was genius. And every time Schiff reached a roadblock because of evidence the White House has withheld, he stopped and said,”I’d like to see that evidence, would you like to see that evidence? You can. Just ask for it.’  Not only did the managers lay out an amazing case of the depth of corruption in this administration, they laid out the case against Rethuglican senators who refuse to even consider permitting a fair trial.  Senators like, oh, Thom Tillis of North Carolina:

and this unholy trinity.

They give every indication of being accomplices in a criminal coverup. Meaning they’re criminals. Elected criminals. This will not end well for any of them.

Does The Saudi Prince Have Dirt On Everybody?  Sometimes it’s good to be technologically illiterate.  I’d never heard of Whatsapp, much less ever considered using it, but it looks like that’s how the Saudi Prince vacuumed up scores of salacious info.  BTW, looks like he has Kushner, at least, by the short hairs.

Will Bernie’s ‘Transformative Solidarity’ Beat Trump?  I’m leaning more and more towards Bernie.  I would personally like to thank Hillary Clinton for helping to clarify my thinking. She still blames her 2016 loss on everybody but herself. As a boomer myself, I hate the term ‘OK Boomer’. Having said that, Hillary Clinton is the ultimate ‘OK Boomer’.

Lawsuit: Trump & Ivanka Involved In Fraud By Inauguration Committee.  Resulting, of course, in money being thrown at a family business. It is a testament to the infinite scope of Trump’s corruption that this seems like little more than a footnote.

Evangelicals Love Trump Because Of…Gog and Magog?  This is what happens when virtually all of your top aides are Evangelical Christians.  A must-read. Me, I’d love to see a tag team featuring Gog and Magog, and wait for the inevitable double-cross…

What do you want to talk about?
