x Who made the decision to give Lavrov a second Oval office meeting? There is no substantive reason for this meeting. Why didn't they invite Zelensky to fly from Paris? Very strange. I hope the horrible symbolism here was just a mistake & not on
Congressman Steve Cohen called out MSNBC live on air about fully airing the Republican engine of lies not only about impeachment but about the recent IG Report. Congressman Steve Cohen admonishes the media x x YouTube Video “I found it unbelievable listening to that press
One anticipates that Trump flushes “10 to 15 times” down the Hershey highway (HersheyPark Drive) in tonight’s 7pm ET Hershey PA speech. Pence will also be there so expect something slightly longer and with above average lies/falsehoods. It’s a 10,500 seat venue. Trump supporters “from
As discussed previously, the lawsuits against VW working their way through the German court system have uncovered what appears to be a new emissions defeat device introduced at the time that they were supposedly fixing their previous cheating engine, the EA 189. The new engine
One guesses that omitting Obstruction of Justice leaves it to be pursued later, in the criminal indictments elsewhere and after the 2020 election. The facts are overwhelming, regardless. This is a streamlined impeachment with a narrow focus to ensure impeachment (regardless of the GOP Senate majority).
Former GOP Strategist Steve Schmidt appeared on All In with Chris Hayes recently. He did not mince his words as he excoriated Ted Cruz and Trump apologists equating them just short of traitors. Former GOP Strategist Steve Schmidt goes off on Ted Cruz & GOP
The usual overgeneralizations apply as Politico tries to separate liberals from whatever adherents to the left of that position are calling themselves. They’ve chosen Jacobin as this week’s strawman to separate Sanders Democrats from Warren Democrats. As the 2020 campaign has unfolded, Warren has, if anything,
These are adults? Really. Someone needs to stick a bar of soap in their mouth for their tantrums in a place of honor such as The United States Congress in a somber hearing of An Impeachment Trial. If any of my kids, adult or
Apparently Ivanka Trump was not married when she first met then MI6 operative Steele, Christopher Steele. We are reminded that in the 1990s, Donald did see himself as a “James Bond” character, even if we now know him more like an Austin Powers one. x BREAKING:
In the Republican Party’s continued plunge into racism, former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley tethered herself to white nationalism and bungee jumped into the valley. Speaking to erstwhile Fox News gabber Glenn Beck last Friday, Haley said, “We don’t have hateful people
Did we really want a criminal in the WH. The DoJ IG report is available. Inspector general found that political bias did not taint the actions of former FBI leaders who have frequently been the subject of presidential attacks on Twitter, including former Director Comey,
Why would the DNC cede the narrative on impeachment to the Republicans by not matching their ad campaign with our own truth campaign? It is mind-bogging. Those of us in the independent media and blogosphere do it ad nauseam but sometimes find divergent narratives or
Last winter, CNN for weeks stood by its extraordinary and inexplicable decision to hire Sarah Isgur Flores, a career Republican Party operative with absolutely no journalism experience, to be the network’s political editor. A hardcore partisan, Isgur spent her career spinning for Republicans such as Ted
Former President Obama Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, snuffs out Republican talking points about Trump hate being responsible for Trump’s impeachment. He did not lose his cool as he listened to the misinformation. Republican strategist Alice Stewart attempted to give Trump’s impeachment a Trump-hate narrative. Emanuel
Joe Walsh, who we’d known in 2015 as a Tea Party reactionary, evolved ever slightly as he’s trying to run for POTUS in 2020. Never-Trumping is a strange notion. Trump thinks it’s a synonym for anyone against him, when it is more about Republicans or
Until recently, Warren and Buttigieg had avoided attacking each other, but lately that’s changed. Warren said Buttigieg needed to be more forthcoming about his consulting work with McKinsey. In response, Buttigieg said Warren should release more of her tax returns (she’s released 11 years’ worth)
The GOP is playing slow and tight with the truth as Monday in the Judiciary committee begins at 9am ET with more televised testimony. Corrupt intent is in the solicitation regardless of the outcome of the bribery. There’s obstruction of Congress, definitely and obstruction of
I don’t play chess but if I did, I am sure I would equate today’s politics with three-dimensional chess. And in the game, the middle class and the poor are likely to be ill-prepared to win. Centrism has powerful allies. It must be repeated ad-nauseam,

The Republican Party is demonstrating an evermore eager determination to abandon principles and embrace the dishonesty and self-exaltation of Donald Trump. As his impeachment in the House nears, Trump has escalated his efforts to muddy the debate with proven falsehoods about his interactions with Ukrainian
