Other than the possibility that he could vote to convict Trump, Mitt seems to have a Twitter sockpuppet named Twitter user @qaws9876, otherwise known as Pierre Delecto. Sen. Mitt Romney, in an interview with “Axios on HBO,” outlined a broad indictment of President Trump, criticizing his rhetoric, his abandonment of the Kurds, his plea to Ukraine and…

Jarvanka is at Individual-1's side, because nepotism has too many syllables
The biggest leaker of them all: Jarvanka will throw all kinds of folks under the bus. Jarvanka thinks that because Barr prevented the Mueller report from reaching them, that they won’t at some moment be held accountable in the aftermath of the Trump regime’s attempt to destroy US democracy. They remain a target of opportunity. But…
MI-08, PA-06, NJ-11, VA-02 & 07: Rep. Adam Schiff (D. CA) Helps Keep These Badasses In Congress
Received this e-mail from Rep. Adam Schiff (D. CA-28: Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06), Abigail Spanberger (VA-07), Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11), Elaine Luria (VA-02) & Elissa Slotkin (MI-08) The blue wave you brought to the polls in November 2018 brought an impressive group of new members, and some of the best of the bunch are a group of five women who came…
Trump's WH got pwnd by Russia early and Rudy may have jammed up Trump because of Firtash
The Russians have always been there. Whether they’re political officials, hackers, or organized crime figures, we’ve never really left the Mueller report and the Steele dossier. Reminder: Mueller Report noted that Jared Kushner & Flynn met on Nov 30, 2016 w. Russian Ambassador Kislyak: they “discussed US policy toward Syria, and Kislyak floated the idea of…
WaPo weighs in on Mick Mulvaney's truth-telling
The Trump Doral-G7 announcement was designed to draw attention from Turkey-Syria warfare and #Trumpeachment. Unfortunately, Mick Mulvaney’s set-to with the press over the Ukraine quid pro quo did demonstrate the continuing messaging incompetence of the WH. Hours later, Mulvaney made a clumsy attempt to disinform the confession of what seems plainly obvious in the released documents….
Mulvaney made Arms for Dirt much worse for Individual-1, and Rick Perry will resign … really
Mick Mulvaney, fact witness, copped to the quid pro quo by admitting that “we do it all the time, get over it”. This rendered null a week of Trump proclaiming “No Quid Pro Quo”. It’s probably the best he could do for media framing considering as he’s still OMB head, he did hold the arms shipment…
“Dude gotta go” … majority in favor of impeachment and removal
The Trump meltdown seems not to have had much effect, other than enhancing Speaker Pelosi’s image with women as Gallup polls a majority in favor of impeachment and removal. So much Republican cowardice, especially in the US Senate, as #Trumpeachment continues. There could be an actual breaking point, even as history might suggest it is already…
For #Trumpeachment, there are more 'bad hombres' than the '3 Amigos'
Will Trump throw Mulvaney under the bus, as the rest of the ‘3 Amigos” — Gordon Sondland and Rick Perry come before the House committees, after Kurt Volker has already testified. Mick Mulvaney arranged meetings between Rudy and Don when Giuliani was bragging publicly about enlisting Ukranians to probe the Bidens. Mulvaney met frequently with Gordon Sondland, and hid…
#Trumpeachment closing in: WH panics as compliance refusals include Pence and #RudyColludy
If they’re innocent why are they not cooperating. Let's be clear: The President of the U.S. Senate – still a Congressional body – is rejecting a Congressional request for information. Pence is irredeemably conflicted. He either should resign as Senate President or follow the rules.https://t.co/wdywUvbTlA — Joel Rubin (@JoelMartinRubin) October 15, 2019 The counsel for…
Fiona Hill's #Trumpeachment testimony at 10+ hours means trouble for #RudyColludy and Individual-1
Undoubtedly she was able to corroborate the event timeline for Don & Rudy’s “secret government” show. “As the first former White House aide to testify in the impeachment inquiry, Hill could be in a position to describe internal, and apparently heated, conversations among diplomats and security officials that led to (Ambassador) Yovanovitch’s departure.” The WH…
#Trumpeachment – Fiona Hill is neither Kathy Griffin nor George Soros
Fiona Hill will appear before Congress today as the impeachment inquiry continues. The RWNJ troll-bots have been busily calling her a “George Soros mole”, even as one assumes that when she was appointed to the NSC in 2017 by Trump, any such association would have been disqualifying. But the current buzz by nutters is that…
Trump still vaguely threatening sanctions on Turkey, how empty are they?
Is sanctioning Turkey a kind of virtue signaling or is the Trump administration prepping the ground to lift Russian sanctions? In case you forgot that there was a monstrous steel imports tariff on Turkey that Trump promptly rescinded, because it’s virtuous to double a tariff then reduce it by 50% to appear like something happened. …
#Trumpeachment moves closer to the bunker on Monday with Fiona Hill's testimony
Axios reports that the twin pillars on which the impeachment inquiry will center is Ukraine and obstruction of justice. The advantage of the latter is that it also folds in as a structure the Mueller report when the bill of impeachment gets constructed. It also indicates where the cover-up will be focused by the WH and…
Holy Cow – Trump was the real author of the rant-filled 8-page letter to Pelosi
Such a wack letter refusing to cooperate did allow for the possibility that Trump reviewed it but the Daily Beast reports that Trump had a much deeper role, which explains the rhetorical craziness. The simplistic Trumpian lexicon did reveal itself in the use of adjectives like “powerfully” and phrases like “making it all up”. Pat…
Why are these people not being jailed? I guess they ARE ABOVE THE LAW.
I have a question. How in the world if we live in a democracy, and there are laws that are supposed to apply to everyone but this bunch in office just ignores that fact. How can they get away with this? Every subpoena will be ignored. Face it Congressman Schiff. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO cooperate…

The White Man’s Last Stand
Growing up as a black kid in America, the running blaxploitation film theme was getting “the man” before he got you. Donald Trump is un-circling the wagons for the white man’s last stand. That last statement is not a blanket thrown over every white man or woman in America, and if you feel offended maybe…
Republicans and their Willful Destruction of ‘The Constitution
I try really hard not to scream when I hear, “the both sides do it” argument, that is usually offered up by Republicans, whenever trouble strikes. They pull out, “but what about…” instead of admitting a problem exist. Even as kids, we learned the folly of, “if Billy jumps off a cliff; will you?” Just…

GOP congressional candidate once called Trump an unworthy 'a**hole'; now she loves him
At some point we have to start checking their basements for pods, right? Can they really be this empty and soulless? Republicans who were once on the right side of history have sworn fealty — in droves — over the past four years to the least admirable man on the planet. I sincerely hope we’re…
