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…
Path to the bunker: “he's in the hospitality business”
Because someone in the hospitality business would want to jail and relocate the homeless away from hotels, put refugees in detention camps, and separate children from families Dear @realDonaldTrump: Wow, Mick Mulvaney admits your personal business interests will affect decisions you make because that's who you are at the end of the day. Can you please…
The 2019 “Everything Terrible Trump Has Done” 3rd Quarter Report
Since the Trump Presidency began back in January 2017, we have endeavored to maintain a comprehensive listing of all the administrations misdeeds in the Everything Awful The Trump Administration Has Done Omnibus (full list here), and have attempted to categorize and score them accordingly. Today is October 20th, which means that as of noon today we are now…
Trump tried to tweet #StopTheCoup and got pwnd … #ThePresidentIsACrybaby
Yesterday, PABOTUS tried to get the #StopTheCoup trending, only to be met with #ThePresidentIsACrybaby. x Actually, there is a coup going on, only it's not coming from outside the Trump administration, but as in all horror stories, it's coming from within, led by Trump & his lackeys & henchmen, like Bill Barr, Nick Mulvaney, &…
There's no constitutional crisis: just impeach Trump for bribery
Ari Melber keeps it simple. Less nuance, it’s right in the damn Constitution. You don’t even have to utter a dead language. Perspective: "Bribery" is right there in the Constitution. Trump could be impeached for that. https://t.co/vcXayzUWow — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 19, 2019 Amid a series of House investigations, however, and several public,…
Trumpian Greenwashing: Russian media racketeering and suppressing the 2020 vote
Russia’s useful idiots are also proxies. In a bid to repeat 2016, the swing states will have third-party efforts as well as support for non-Democratic efforts. In this case the self-proclaimed “environmentalist” declares that he supports the Green Party, but not really. Like greenwashing, it’s bait-and-switch. Crooked Hillary Clinton just called the respected environmentalist and Green…
Rooney Will Not Run for Re-election
Remember Francis Rooney (R-FL)? Yesterday he said he was open to impeaching Trump: Rooney, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee at the center of the inquiry, said Friday that he had not yet come to a conclusion on whether the President committed a crime that compels his removal from office, a striking view…
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…
Jennifer Rubin Lays Out a Possible Trump Removal Avenue for Senate Republicans.
There are some flaws to what Jennifer Rubin lays out as a way for Senate Republicans to vote to convict Trump and remove him from office, but I want to present what she outlined. Rubin bases this possibility on what she calls the Romney/Murkowski Senate Republicans and adds this data: How many Mitt Romneys and…
Truth is …He's being impeached.. YOU Get Over it. Get over it shirts sold by Trump/Pence campaign
I saw where Trump supporters and fundraising tools are wearing Mulvaney’s confession on their chest proud as can be.. “ Get over it”. They need to wake up and smell the coffee. The Con boy is going to be impeached and probably charged after out of office. He Should be charged now. New York is…
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….
The “Everything Terrible Trump Has Done So Far” Omnibus (Week 143)
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. The EU ambassador agreed to testify against Trump in impeachment proceedings against the administration's…

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…
BREAKING NEWS: Elijah Cummings Dies at 68
My sympathies are felt for all in his district, a great loss to our country and especially to the families of a great legislator and human full of compassion and fairness. This is a sad day in America. Rep. Cummings was 68 years old. This is a developing story of the cause of death but…
Will Gordon Sondland, the “Second Amigo”, corroborate Individual-1's role in Arms for Dirt
House impeachment hearings continue with EU ambassador Gordon Sondland today. Lawmakers plan to grill Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland on Thursday about a private discussion he had with top Ukrainian officials in the White House in which he explicitly mentioned the Ukrainian gas company linked to Hunter Bidenhttps://t.co/RisiWENu0G — Christina Lutz 🇪🇺 (@ChristinaLutz17)…
Paranoid Trump is convinced John Bolton shivved him over Ukraine
And, you know, he’s probably right. I mean, John Bolton is what you’d get if the demon from Child’s Play had possessed Orville Redenbacher instead. That caramel corn-looking motherfucker is evil to the core. The Daily Beast: In the course of casual conversations with advisers and friends, President Trump has privately raised suspicions that a spiteful…
“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…
The first thousand days of Trump ends with his meltdown in front of the Democratic leadership
Dude gotta go. These words on White House stationary should embarrass all Americans, but Trump's "confidential" enclosure of the SDF Commander's letter will give our allies even less reason to trust America. Is this a common practice? How much NATO correspondence has been forwarded to Putin? https://t.co/7ADqh5rEjF — Ned Price (@nedprice) October 16, 2019 .@Lawrence:…

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…
The MOAT (Mother of All Tweeters)
The last time the President told the press to ask my lawyer, Michael Cohen was subsequently fitted for a numbered orange jumpsuit. Well, Rudy, I think your right profile is your best side and black and white stripes say GQ federal prison. You remember in 2018 aboard Airforce One when the President, with obvious guilt…
Even more Trump nonsense this week as disinformation spews at the White House

Why Fox News is getting trounced in the public opinion battle over Trump impeachment
Shepard Smith's recent, abrupt resignation isn’t the only crisis Fox News is facing these days. Aside from allegations that conservatives simply will not tolerate any dissenting voices amid a chorus that worships Donald Trump, the right-wing cable news outlet is struggling as it tries to fight the public opinion battle over impeachment. The unfolding inquiry in the…
#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…
Sen. Murphy: Fiona Hill testified that there was a quid pro quo
Yeah, this seems significant: 🚨Fiona Hill describes this scene: In a White House meeting, Sondland tells Ukrainians they will get a Trump meeting if they open the investigations Trump wants. Then, Sondland follows the Ukrainians out of the meeting to privately make clear he's talking about Hunter Biden. — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) October 15, 2019…
Trump angrily tweets, 'Impeach the Pres.' Sure, if you say so
This dunce. Just out: MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS AT THE HIGHEST POINT EVER, EVER, EVER! How about saying it this way, IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY! Also, MORE PEOPLE WORKING TODAY IN THE USA THAN AT ANY TIME IN HISTORY! Tough numbers for the Radical Left Democrats to beat! Impeach the Pres. — Donald…
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…
Liz Cheney blames slaughter of Kurds on … Democrats
Well, she didn’t specifically call out Obama or Hillary Clinton, but give it a few days. On Fox News this morning, Liz Cheney, a Republican congresswoman from Wyoming and the daughter of the massing heap of discarded organs and tissue that used to be Dick Cheney, blamed Turkey’s invasion of northern Syria on — you guessed…
#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…
Rep. Tlaib: There've been 'serious discussions' about jailing Trump allies who ignore subpoenas
So the White House is still refusing to cooperate with the ongoing impeachment inquiry, and the pr*sident has so far been even less interested in acknowledging congressional subpoenas than Tiffany Trump. What to do? What to do? Well, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) has an idea. Lock them in the hoosegow. Tlaib told Deadline Detroit that there…
Some of Trump's Ukraine CT narrative came from a RWNJ columnist, now at Fox News
Apparently John Solomon is Individual-1’s Pat Buchanan and William Safire. John Solomon, now at Fox News, seems to be the nutter whose shaky ideas about Democrats in Ukraine diffused to Trump. Even Ken Vogel points the finger at Solomon. A Lot Of Trump’s Ukraine Conspiracy Theories Come From One Right-Wing Columnist There’s a direct line between…

GOP congressman: Trump's decision to abandon Kurds is 'weak' and 'depressing'
Welcome to consensus reality, Rep. Kinzinger! Adam Kinzinger, a Republican congressman from Illinois, has at last seen what any non-cult member with eyes realized long ago: Donald Trump is a weak, whiny poseur who acts tough but has the gravitas of a rarefied mouse fart. Appearing on Face the Nation this morning, Kinzinger stated the obvious:…
Sondland to Testify Trump Told Him to Text ‘No Quid Pro Quo.”
Gordon Sondland, the mercurial hotelier turned EU Ambassador who first stated he would not testify in the impeachment inquiry, then changed course to say he would, will testify this week that drumpf told him to text acting Ukrainian Ambassador William B. Taylor that there was no quid pro quo in his dealings with Ukrainian President…
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…
How the GOP Can Convict Trump without Voting Him Out
I just found this story in the Washingtonian via Political Wire: The Impeachment Loophole No One’s Talking About The gist of it is that, according to Lawrence Tribe, there is a way, spelled out in the Constitution, that the Republicans in the Senate can let Trump be impeached AND removed from office without doing anything…
