Is getting angry better than being nervous. One poll does not a victory make. Nate Cohn calls the Selzer poll result for Iowa a “miss”, but it does suggest a trend, like the closing state poll in Florida. More useful is Cohn’s conclusion that at this moment Biden wins with 306 to 232 electoral votes…

Slurs and slurring by Individual-1, our IMPOTUS*
Trump reiterated yet another lie about “the previous administration” funding last night’s missile strike. The JCPOA released Iran’s money held since 1980. Trump’s withdrawal from the agreement compelled Iran to leave its compliance and announce it would resume work on nuclear enrichment that could be used for weapons. Nukes and Regime Change remain key elements…
Breaking: Individual Mandate Declared Unconstitutional by 5th Circuit. Fate of ACA Not Clear.
The question of whether the Individual Mandate can be separated from the rest of the ACA (or some parts of the ACA), and therefore whether the entire ACA is unconstitutional, parts of the ACA beyond the individual mandate are also constitutional, or only the individual mandate is now unonstitutional, have been sent back to the…
Individual-1 still doesn't need to know who the whistleblower(s) are
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 witnesses who testified. Here’s the full analysis: https://t.co/W5gvIQucCc https://t.co/dQjPgMWJ3J —…
Senator Ron Johnson tries to do CYA for Individual-1
The oddest disinformation so far has been a series of Ron Johnson media appearances that attempt to discredit Alexander Vindman. Johnson said Vindman might be among those bureaucrats who leak to the press "sabotage his policies and, if possible, remove him from office." pic.twitter.com/Mn5SHXUl06 — Christal Hayes (@Journo_Christal) November 18, 2019 Sen. Ron Johnson sought…
remember that the Arms for Dirt scandal is not about any individual “transcript”
Trump’s going to try to distract MSM with a new release of a second, April “transcript” which probably resembles the non-verbatim memorandum of a telcon from 25 July already released that confirms the arms for dirt scandal. It presumably will be as “perfect” as the first one. And just as diverting of mass attention as the…
POTUS* is not required to appear, but what if Individual-1 did appear at his Senate trial
Trump’s narcissism could compel him to want to appear in his own defense before the Senate during his impeachment trial. Needless to say, that would be foolhardy and an historical spectacle, BUT WHAT RATINGS! We know that in the Mueller matter, Trump’s lawyers managed to prevail in preventing Trump from being interviewed because he would…
Individual-1 caught Dead to Rights: John Bolton will comply with a subpoena to testify on 11/7
Even if he’s still a war criminal, John Bolton will get his place in history perhaps for a less ignominious act. In June, national security adviser John Bolton warned U.S. diplomats that Rudy Giuliani would prove to be a problem, much like “Washington lobbyist Robert Livingston kept popping up and recommending the ambassador to Ukraine be…

Individual-1's gaslighting nonsense continues because denial is a river, as testimony continues
Today features more White House manufacturing of truth that resembles the Bill Barr “summary” of the Mueller report, as further contrasts will be drawn between conventional diplomacy and a Trumpian parallel activity of self-dealing. Two career diplomats will testify before House impeachment investigators Wednesday that President Trump displayed a deeply pessimistic view of Ukraine that was…
Baghdadi deal, Individual-1, now stop the ethnic cleansing, and “watch this drive”
Considering the use of a self-detonating vest, let’s cut back on the Adderall, and hold my beer. If the Baghdadi rumor is true, I guarantee you that at his press conference Trump will: 1) Say "I got him" or "I killed him"2) Say "Obama couldn't get him, but I did" I'd also put the odds…
Lindsey Graham puts on a show – 9 GOP senators have yet to swear fealty to Individual-1
Building one stunt upon another — after the House GOP bum’s rush yesterday on the SCIF, Lindsey Graham made up reasons contradictory to those he espoused in 1998 to object to the House’s investigation. Since the display was meant to satisfy the White House, it got little attention by MSM. The majority of Senate republicans are…
RWNJs are having trouble defending Individual-1 in the #Trumpeachment
Other than a rhetorical diversion into the use of “lynching”, Lindsey Graham is one of a few Senate Republicans unencumbered by the possibility of sitting as an impeachment juror. RWNJ pundits have taken to attacking Graham to fill the space of media reaction and in the absence of many Trump defenders in the Senate. Other…
Individual-1: “We never gave a commitment to the Kurds”- “I’m the one who did the capturing”
Trump had a Cabinet meeting today and said more nonsense, repeating his campaign rally talking points, as well as using the Cabinet meeting to make other announcements. This is the Pool report (#4-10). “You people with this phony Emoluments Clause,” Date: October 21, 2019 at 11:52:51 AM EDT Subject: Pool Report #4 POTUS says economy doing “fantastically…
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…
Individual-1 is cast in an impeachment drama so simply intriguing, even a bad actor can play it
It’s unfortunate that the criminality of someone so pathologically flawed as Trump requires a simple plot line like Ukraine-Gate, but when compared using some simple criteria the urgency of impeachment becomes clearer. This is a qualitative hot take and appropriate caveats apply (the list is not comprehensive and the categories are almost certainly not equally…
Individual-1 “is in great danger of losing the mandate of Heaven”
Like Jerry Falwell Jr and his pool boy, everybody’s got stakes in the Rapture. Speaking in tongues, handling snakes, and laying on hands is not going to save Trump. #TurkeyIsNotOurFriend x Pat Robertson is “appalled” by Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria: “The President of the United States is in great danger of losing…
will Individual-1 get off as clean as a whistle-blower
A new article at Politico tries to isolate the justification for a presidential request from a foreign government(s). It only proves that the smoking gun is yet still a smoldering arsenal, now that there are multiple whistle-blowers. Here’s the big question on which the potential impeachment of President Donald Trump could turn: Is it ever appropriate…
Individual-1 insults someone on his jury
There was Trumpian rage-tweeting at Senator Mitt Romney on the way to the golf course today. x Somebody please wake up Mitt Romney and tell him that my conversation with the Ukrainian President was a congenial and very appropriate one, and my statement on China pertained to corruption, not politics. If Mitt worked this hard…
