While Trump literally posts completely horrible trash about Yovanovitch while she's testifying - no lie, he did it while she was testifying. How many f'n times is he going to get away with OBVIOUS intimidation of witnesses - and this doesn't just intimidate the current witness; it's meant to intimidate all future witnesses against Trump and all future criticisms of him. Do people seriously not understand how wrong this is??? If you think it's just kinda bad... you're stupid!!!

There is nothing more vicious than a cornered animal, so I guess the bright side is he concedes that he is an animal and he is cornered. Can that be admitted as evidence?

Maybe if we trash him enough he'll eventually trash us without having the slightest clue who we are ("Ruzious was begging for a job, but I said Ruzious, you and montestewart, paid $1 million to mod Wiz board by Freedonians, have not been very nice to me").

I hate that ****. He's destroying this country, debasing & defiling its history, ruining the future for my kids & grandkids. I wish he was dead. I look forward to the day I can dance on that prick's grave.

another dumb thing about republicans packing the court with fedsoc pro-lifers (and joe sixpack delighting in Trump doing so) is that 99.999% of them won't ever make a pro-life ruling. they're taking wrongful termination cases, ADA cases, criminal cases, patent law cases, etc.

so hundreds of more qualified judges - not even talking about SCOTUS here, are being passed over so dimwits who have any semblance of a pro-life tie (like this woman http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/10/pitlyk-is-trumps-latest-unqualified-judicial-nominee.html) get a LIFETIME position.

A3 judgeships (federal judgeships) are dream jobs for lawyers. lifetime position, working on interesting cases, and extreme prestige in the profession.

even rainmaking partners in global firms pulling in millions of dollars a year would give up their position to be a federal judge, especially in a choice court like DC, NYC, SF.

My Dad was one of those judges. His equal co-worker from the staff of a Congressional committee opted to be an international partner with Price Waterhouse and made a heckuvalot more money, but my Dad was very satisfied with his choice.

His grave is projected to be a gilded monolith that will dwarf the Chernobyl NSC sarcophagus (and, incidentally, will have four views of his face cast in relief on all four faces, a sort of quadrophonic Rushmore). The Trump Tower of Tackiness. If you can get to the top of that (and I'm sure his kids will sell private tours to the publicly financed castle of whiteness), then yes, you can dance on his grave.

It will be Arlington Cemetery. Only a few thousand veterans will only have to relocated without honors. Every year, white nationalists will come on mopeds, wearing khakis, carrying tiki torches, and waving involuntary celibacy as a badge of honor, to celebrate the anniversary of his death (the day...the music...dyed orange) in a procession that will become known as Rolling Draft Dodger.

Speaking of research, has anyone actually verified that the reason poor people are
poor and rich people are rich is largely a matter of how hard they work? Somehow
I doubt it. Yet some people act as if there is no doubt that this is true.

PS - did Stone get an ankle bracelet while awaiting sentencing?
That would seem prudent.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

In the age of endless information, disinformation is queen. A great philosopher once said, "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth." Malarky, now there's a word that needs to be used more.

The past master of ignoring the facts and citing a non-argument as obvious (I guess that is the definition of malarkey) :D.

Yuck yuck. The majority of voters clearly intended for Hillary Clinton to become president.

But aside from that, Barr appears to be speaking out against even exploratory exercise of the impeachment powers granted to congress in the Constitution. Must be something he learned at Trump University Law School from Professor Pickencheuse

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, convicted felon
Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, convicted felon
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, convicted felon
Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, convicted felon
Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone, convicted felon. I’m especially glad this piece of **** Roger Stone is going to jail. He should be put under the jail.

Remind me again how Trump was the most ethical candidate running haha

It's literally a mafia style group. Hopefully the list will include Trump before he dies.

Schiff has done a great job with these hearings. Basically the key is to let the witnesses tell their story and not the committee get in the way(either deliberately - GOP or accidentally - the Dems). He also brings a seriousness to the topic, that makes clowns such as Gym Jordan stand out.
