Who blinks first because they’ve got no more f’s to give The White House said they wanted open hearings, not closed, and then they didn’t want those either. Then they said they wanted to participate in the proceedings, and now they say they don’t. All
Greg Sargent has an excellent piece on disinformation in WaPo, reminding us how the GOP continues to traffic in disinformation as the Senate impeachment trial approaches. Two new developments attest to this point: a remarkable pair of revelatory tweets from Giuliani, and a tour de force of reporting
At 1032 pm, Dear Leader tweeted another pathetic taunt in order to divert attention from the impeachment. This is Trump’s most-repeated lie of the Ukraine scandal, according to @ddale8. The whistleblower complaint was highly credible, and many of the key allegations have been confirmed by
Today’s #ImpeachingHearings showed how corrupt Donald Trump really is. That means we have to step things up in 2020 + be louder than ever. To do that, we’ve set a goal of 500 donations by year’s end. Check out our message from The Five +
Disinformation in plain sight now includes a series of stunts, supported by OAN and apparently pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians as Rudy Giuliani tries to spin more mischief for Trump. Coincidentally a Sinclair reporter asked Speaker Pelosi the “hate” question today. Giuliani’s trips were organized around filming
It has come to this, despite complaints that it’s all happening too fast while Trump refuses to follow the law. As Speaker Pelosi prays for Trump, so should we pray for the nation. Two presidents have been impeached by the House: Andrew Johnson and Bill
So many stunts, and so little GOP improvement in discourse aside from bullying, and disinformation regarding process. But yet it was informative about how little some representatives prepare for such hearings. And there were distortions and lies. Four legal scholars were witnesses, and the argument for impeachment
The Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judiciary Committee are tantamount to charwomen. Throughout the history of the United States, we have mopped the muddied floors of injustice with waters we have tried to cleanse with lackluster moral purity. The floors
Picking the orange out of the icebox. Always a problem with orange revolutions. Trump utters (more) nonsense while in the UK. The fact that his predecessor was a Democrat with a Republican Congress who wasn't impeached appears lost on him. — I WILL BE THE
They’re now trial ballooning damage control measures, perhaps there will be a wrist slap by the Senate where the vulnerable 2020 GOP senators will call for a censure. The GOP media frame would then be “compromise and comity” because “no harm, no foul” (which unfortunately

Darn that “Stark evidence of misconduct”, the House Intelligence committee releases their report and MSNBC reports that there may be as many as 4 articles of impeachment, one of which will incorporate the Mueller report.

Alan He of CBS News has written a tweet quoting Lindsey Graham. Lindsey is attempting to hoodwink Democrats that censure might be an option to attract bipartisanship support rather than Impeachment of Donald Trump. Can anybody say “Lucy with the football”? x Q. Censure better
Trump has just tweeted that he’d like SCOTUS to stop the impeachment, and aside from the signal he’s trying to send them, Trump has finally realized that there will be consequences from the actual impeachment process. The details of the articles of impeachment are being
With the House Judiciary Committee poised to take up the impeachment baton and hold a new round of public hearings this month, the Beltway press continues to absorb and echo Republican talking points that claim the inquiry isn’t resonating with Americans. Because impeachments aren’t legal proceedings, the
Assuming that a cowed GOP Senate acquits POTUS* in an impeachment trial, the entirety of the GOP’s candidates must bear that responsibility at the polls in 2020. #MorningJoe @EdWexler https://t.co/uvGK8cyJ6N @realDonaldTrump @RudyGiuliani @MSNBC Rudy who? pic.twitter.com/eyQmpbCOXM — 🄱🄾🅆🅂🄴🅁 (@edz1) December 2, 2019 OJ, Trump: same struggle?
Whether among a family, in the workplace, or on the web, gossip operates as cancel culture and at scale is easily monetized by tabloid media. The production of pariahs is one genre of media culture, that in a family is the production of runts, scapegoats,
While the WH left open the possibility of participating in other House Judiciary committee hearings, their continued whinging about POTUS* being denied due process continue to ring hollow. Meanwhile the GOP committee membership is expected to continue to clown the proceedings. New attempts to delay the proceedings
Cowardly Trump won’t appear at the House Judiciary committee hearings. In the impeachment inquiry, sources tell CBS News that President Trump is likely to reject the Democrats’ offer to appear when the House Judiciary Committee starts hearings next week. The pursuits of the president’s personal attorney,
