I am watching the murder trial and I am flabbergasted as what I am witnessing as a former police dispatcher. Witness #1 KNEW there was something terribly wrong when she observed the suspect being pulled from the squad car after being apprehended. This is just something you know. It is...
defense
Sixteen hours had been alloted to each side, The disgusting so called jurors and republican house of shame legislators went in to talk to the defense team. This is totally unethical and they should be cencured. I do think I figured out why they skipped down the hall like little...
I’ve seen roller coaster accidents that were easier to follow—and less unnerving—than that gory mess Trump counsel Bruce Castor presented earlier today. To say it was shambolic and meandering is to insult anyone who’s currently lost in a mall parking lot. I was half expecting a big novelty hook to...
Jim Acosta of CNN reports that a Trump advisor says that “Trump is F’ed if further criminal proceedings happen after this impeachment trial”. Bad lawyering happened and the GOP knew it. Donald Trump's own lawyer just argued that “tired” and “fed up” voters kicked Trump out of office. x Bruce...
“Trump at this point should welcome someone using the 25h amendment, an insanity defense is about all he has left.” Trump’s best defense could be insanity or ignorance. x 4 criminal laws that Trump may have violated in his Georgia election call | By Ian Millhiser https://t.co/G5E3thhlzx— SafetyPin-Daily (@SafetyPinDaily) January...
From The Bangor Daily News: A Hawaii defense contractor who has donated to U.S. Sen.

Martin Kao, the CEO of Martin Defense Group,...
So this has been one of the best backstories for a candidate: x .@SenDanSullivan works for #MitchMcConnell – he votes Mitch’s way 97% of the time. I’m a different kind of candidate – one who will always put #Alaska first. Watch our first TV ad and chip in to help...

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Ed Markey’s (D. MA) re-election campaign: Last month, I called on President Trump to immediately begin using the Defense Production Act to produce the equipment we need to fight COVID-19. I was optimistic that our call had been heard when he finally claimed...
Like Trump’s toughness, pretending you’re using the Defense Production Act of 1950 and hoping for corporate volunteerism is not the same thing especially if you claim you’re in “wartime”. WWII was won with national production planning that overwhelmed the enemy. Trump’s enemy is as he says “invisible”, much like his...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Ed Markey’s (D. MA) re-election campaign: It is clear that we are at war with the coronavirus. In order to slow the spread of the disease, the United States needs to work together to flatten the curve by expanding testing capability and increasing...
So people are freaking out about whether we’ll have enough masks, ventilators, and other crucial medical equipment when COVID-19 cases peak in this country. It’s what one might call a hair-on-fire emergency. And yet the Trump administration is still acting as if everything will all work out somehow. A Saturday...
Kudos to U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D. OH) for calling out Moscow Mitch: Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) tore into Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday for how he maneuvered Donald Trump’s impeachment trial in favor of the president. In his remarks before the final vote on the president’s impeachment, Brown spoke of how the Senate took...
WaPo Politics has a new story out: GOP leaders spar over adding House members to Trump’s impeachment defense team A turf war over who should defend President Trump in a Senate impeachment trial is raging behind the scenes in Congress, as House Republicans push to join Trump’s legal team —...
With his nomination of former Raytheon vice president and lobbyist Mark Esper for secretary of defense, Donald Trump essentially chummed the swamp with alligator feed. Of course, it was kind of a joke for Trump to put a defense contractor in charge of the DoD while at the same time...

Idiotic that Individual-1 is trying with the help of his GOP buddies, to make impeachment into reality-TV kayfabe. . @maddow @MSNBC @ChrisCuomo @CNN Day after day we hear about #ShitForBrains’ “perfect call.” Except his dirt for military aid scheme wasn’t just about “a call.” It was a months’ long conspiracy...
Take this with as many grains of salt as you want but… Reuters “MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Russian Ministry of Defense said on Sunday it had no reliable information on the U.S. operation that killed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, state-run RIA news agency reported after U.S. President Donald...
The Wall Street Journal in an editorial tries to rationalize the GOP stunt of crashing the Capitol SCIF. Because like the GOP, they’ve got nothing but process objections. Apparently fitness for office is irrelevant because Trump’s infallibility assumes that shooting someone on Fifth Avenue requires hitting a barn door. An editorial...
Trial ballooning again with really hot air. x The White House has reached out to outside lawyers for impeachment counsel, according to a person familiar.

Lamprey in charge. Because we know how well that advice to fire James Comey worked out. Then again, can Individual-1 really trust a son-in-law. President Donald Trump has reportedly tapped son-in-law Jared Kushner to lead the fight against House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. As reported by CNN on Friday, the president...
I bear no particular grudge against Alice M. Rivlin. She appears to have led a fine life of public service, and, as discussed below, considers herself a “moderate Democrat.” She is the type of moderate Democrat who was a member of the Simpson-Bowles deficit commission – and so I disagree...
