    Let the spinning commence! Will the Winged Monkeys declare that the second whistleblower is ...

    (1) a diehard Democrat?
    (2) related to a former Hillary Clinton staffer?
    (3) an agent of the Deep State?
    (4) about to sign a book deal?
    (5) a member of the elite squad of X-Acto wielding librarians who altered every microfilm in existence of the Honolulu Advertiser from August 1961 to splice in Obama's birth announcement?

    Hey, this could be a good tactic for the Trump defense team!

    Today in "whatever Trump is accusing somebody else of, he's probably planning to do himself" ...

    Trump associates pressured Ukraine over gas firm in order to benefit allies: report

    A group of President Trump's associates pressed Ukraine to install new management at the top of the country's massive state gas company last spring in order to benefit some of their allies, the Associated Press reported Sunday.

    The businessmen and Republican donors touted connections to Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani while trying to funnel lucrative contracts to companies controlled by Trump allies, two people with knowledge of the plans told the outlet.​

    I have to say I have never seen Trump supporters as interested in process as they are now. Their common refrain is that the whistleblower must have committed a felony by contacting Adam Schiff's office. It must hurt to find out that everything the whistleblower has done is completely legal.

    It only hurts if you believe it. Trump is the gateway to Jesus' Kingdom on Earth. Nothing he does is wrong for his base constituency of evangelical Christians making bank off of him.

    "The biggest beneficiary of this latest Trump-derived scandal is the Kremlin. This isn’t some theoretical future calculus. It has an immediate impact on U.S. security and our strategic outlook. And it enhances the ability of the Kremlin to keep stirring chaos inside the United States.

    Trump is bargaining away U.S. security for conspiracy theories about Ukraine and the Bidens that he hopes will not only strengthen his position for his reelection, but will also erase the evidence that Kremlin intervention helped to elect him president. It’s actually hard to know which part of all this makes the Kremlin most happy."

    That's my congressman pictured in the article. I was worried about him given his narrow victory in 2018, but this seems to be going well so far.

    I understand your principled stance against abortion rights. I completely disagree with you, but I understand where you're coming from. Study after study has shown conclusive evidence that women are best at determining when they are ready to become mothers.

    But what about homosexuals and people who perform in your opinion "deviant acts?" Do they not deserve to have a democracy that represents and protects them? If it is your religion that guides you on this, as I suspect, should all of the people who believe differently than you be forced to comply with your views by the force of law? What exactly do you mean by the "liberalization of free speech?"

    Public Service Announcement: Members of Congress cannot be impeached.

    How do we all feel about having a President who couldn't pass an 8th grade Constitution exam?

    Part of the problem here is when people talk about returning to "founding values" or "the principles of the constitution" or....whatever, frequently what they actually mean s exactly the opposite.

    It's worth noting that the number of people who identify as Republican has dropped significantly since Trump won the nomination in 2016. So naturally, his approval rating in that group will be falsely inflated.

    Jesus, Giuliani literally just started reading pieces from printouts of a right-wing blog and waving them around like they were affidavits on FOX. The blog is called HopelesslyPartisan, ffs.

    You'd have something there ... if the President didn't go on national TV and not only admit to it, but added China in to boot.

    Like the right wing pundit (Tom Fitton) said on Fox that Moscow Mitch should dismiss any Impeachment trial to "defend the constitution"
    (from the constitution, apparently)

    Just thought I'd share that in case anyone was still doubtful about the idea of Trump as an egotistical dictator or cult of personality.
