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…
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…
The New York Times is just out with the latest bus driver: The Moustache himself: Bolton Objected to Ukraine Pressure Campaign, Calling Giuliani ‘a Hand Grenade’ The effort to pressure Ukraine for political help provoked a heated confrontation inside the White House last summer that so alarmed John R. Bolton, then the national security adviser,…
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…
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…
Ever since Parnas and Fruman, Giuliani’s two comrades-in-crime, were arrested as they were preparing to fly Frankfurt (and possibly Vienna) on one-way tickets, there have been reports that Rudy “A noun, a verb, and 9/11” Giuliani is himself under investigation by the very office he used to run: SDNY. This led to stories that Trump…
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…
So the AP just published a rundown of Donald Trump’s infamous call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and a few morsels of deeply weird Trumpfuckery stood out from the usual smorgasbord of garden-variety fucknuttery. For one thing, Trump doesn’t prepare — at all — for these calls. (Why should calls to foreign heads of state be different than anything…
Okay, so Rudy Giuliani’s life is finally collapsing faster than his shrunken apple head, and suddenly Donald John Trump isn’t so sure about him. Rudy is balls deep in the Ukraine scandal, and two of his associates tried to flee the country yesterday before being arrested on campaign finance charges. Meanwhile, Rudy himself had planned…
We have long suspected that Former Ukrainian Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was dismissed for interfering with drumpf and Rudy’s illegal effort to pressure Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden to boost drumpf’s 2020 campaign. The AP has found one source willing to confirm that we were right. Associated Press “WASHINGTON (AP) — The former U.S. ambassador to…
More information now: the Arms for Dirt cover-up made many more previously unidentified officials “alarmed”. This was before the whistleblower complaint was made. x “When people were listening to this in real time there were significant concerns about what was going on — alarm bells were kind of ringing,” said one person familiar with the…
WaPo is just out with a new story about how fast WH officials raised alarms: At least four national security officials raised alarms about Ukraine policy before and after Trump call with Ukrainian president At least four national security officials were so alarmed by the Trump administration’s attempts to pressure Ukraine for political purposes that…
In a two page letter to NY Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet, Biden Campaign Comms Director Kate Bedingfield slammed the paper for amplifying Don the Con’s phony controversy against Joe Biden Op-Ed by running an Op-ed written by “discredited right-wing polemicist” Peter Schweizer, who pushed the now debunked Uranium One “scandal” against Hillary Clinton in the Times in 2015 and later…

It’s Halloween because Rudy might appear before Congress: Good. I have questions. https://t.co/Ty8QMQzAp4 — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) October 8, 2019 And Trump now is doing god-emperor cosplay: His claim we must wait until 2020 election has 2 serious flaws: a)that's the very election he was trying to use foreign influence to win–he got caught 1x,…
To us drumpf portraying himself as a champion of any fight against corruption is, of course, absurd on it’s face. But then so is much of what he does. drumpf has reasons of his own for dragging us through the muck of Ukrainian domestic politics, where state prosecutors often function in the way that he…
As some of you might have read, it was reported overnight that the dotard, on a private call to Republican Congress critters, asserted that the perfectly illegal phone conversation that he had with Ukrainian President Zelensky was actually made at the behest of his energy Secretary Rick Perry… about a Ukrainian liquefied natural gas plant. We all…
As Donald Trump’s guilt becomes more and more apparent, the deflections and obfuscations his defenders engage in have gone further and further off the rails. Today on Meet the Press, Chuck Todd (who, in a watershed moment for journalism, recently started rockin’ a full beard instead of that sad Klingon-with-late-stage-malaria goatee), asked Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin)…
I thought it was perfect? Rick Perry’s about to learn the hard way: Everything Trump touches dies: .Axios “President Trump told House Republicans that he made his now infamous phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the urging of Energy Secretary Rick Perry — a call Trump claimed he didn’t even want to make….
I always wondered why Donald Trump wanted to go into politics — a field he has no aptitude for nor knowledge of. Consider this tweet: x I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool…
And this one may have more info than the first. Two sources have told The New York Times that a second Ukraine-scandal whistleblower is “weighing whether to file his own formal whistle-blower complaint.” And this guy reportedly has more direct information about Trump’s corrupt intentions. According to the report, the potential whistleblower was interviewed by the…
So Donald Trump is trying to pretend he hates corruption so, so much he’s doing everything he can to quash it everywhere it rears its ugly head. Today, while sounding like an Airbus jet engine exterminating entire species of geese, he insisted that his attempts to get foreign governments to look into Joe Biden are making the world a…
Sen. Ron Johnson (R) of Wisconsin, has Ukraine as a part of his portfolio of the Foreign Relations committee. When he mentioned to Trump that he’d heard about his shenanigans in that country, Don Cornholeone lied to his stupid face. But Ron’s O.K. with that, in fact he’s still shilling for the Diapered Don: Wall…
Well, this is perfect. Washington Post “In his quest to rewrite the history of the 2016 election, President Trump’s personal attorney has turned to an unusual source of information: Trump’s imprisoned former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Rudolph W. Giuliani in recent months has consulted several times with Manafort through the federal prisoner’s lawyer in pursuit of…
Is Rudy Giuliani slowly turning into Gollum and it’s just so gradual we won’t notice until it’s too late? I mean, WT-ever-living-F is this? Rudy Giuliani says he is looking to sue The Swamp. pic.twitter.com/3D65Mg6VaO — Elaina Plott (@elainaplott) October 2, 2019 That’s a text exchange between Rudy and Atlantic reporter Elaina Plott. And, credit…
Don’t be too hard on Trump. I’d be pissed, too, if I thought I were emperor of America and they kept throwing checks and balances in my face left and right. This one is, to use a common Trump term, a beauty: x Trump to reporters, on whether he has endangered unidentified national security official…
Hours after Ukrainian President Zelensky agrees to Steinmeier Formula, which requires Ukrainian forces to withdraw from the disputed Donbass region which Russia invaded in 2015, Republicans in Congress and the Trump State Dept. joined Democrats in allowing the sale of $39M worth of Javelin anti-tank missiles that Zelensky was so anxious about in his July 25th phone call to Trump….
I watched Rachel Maddow interview Ambassador McFaul this evening, and a number of things about this whole unholy mess became clear. Let me see if I can lay it out: In 2014, Russia invades the Crimea. In response, Obama and the EU impose sanctions and kick Russia out of the G8 (not G7). In July…
I mean, sure, online polls are fun, but they’re almost always meaningless. Especially when an admittedly biased media outlet asks its readers a leading question worded like something William Wallace might say before the Battle of Stirling Bridge. But for the densest man in Washington, these kinds of masturbatory exercises are fraught with meaning. To wit: THANK…
Well, well, well, I ain’t never seen the likes of this. Fox News; no really, Fox News; I’m not kidding: Rudy Giuliani was not the only attorney trying to get damaging information on Joe Biden from Ukrainian officials, and President Trump’s decision to withhold aid from Ukraine this summer was made in spite of several federal agencies…
