  1. Nothing of note, pretty much like during the hearings for the first two impeachment articles.

  2. Ironically, we are now learning that Trump's sole reason for removing the decorated ambassador Yovanovich was that she was good at fighting corruption, and Ghoulini (working with Parnas & Fruman) was trying to get some backchannel American money in charge of Ukraine's fossil fuel assets. Trump is not a good liar. His excuses are transparent.

  3. Let's not encourage them. I like it when the trash takes itself out.

  4. Just think, in a country like this (where corporations and their lobbyists basically dominate the law-writing biz), you could have a scenario where the Universal Basic Income is defined as large enough to purchase a new pickup truck, a big screen, monthly rent on a house, and let you go out to eat a lot.

  5. Snorting Adderall, consuming little but unhealthy fast food, the onset of dementia, and now knowing that the impeachment is finally moving along.

  6.    Small world, my major was physics. CS & math as minors. Great handle BTW :)

  7.    Even now, Trump doles out testing supplies and ventilators along the lines of political advantage. Perhaps he's related to the famous Vikdun Quisling?

  8. Thankfully, King Tinyhands the Mad hasn't figured that out. He keeps encouraging his inbred base to "liberate", so they hang out in groups inadvertently doing a lot of droplet transmission with each other. It's like watching the trash take itself out.

  9. Although Iran is only 80 million people, far more turned out for the general's funeral than turned out for Trump's inauguration - and the US is 327 million people. Not since the popular revolution of 1979 has Iran been so united from top to bottom.

  11. She shouldn't worry. The undertaker will fix that with some spray paint. She had some obvious co-morbidities .. age, obesity, incipient diabetes, mild dementia.

  12. With his flair for making good things bad and making bad things much worse, Trump will surely manage to further alienate the Iraquis so much that the USA is forced to leave, and suddenly Iraq becomes new best friends with Russia.

  13.  @haroldtruffman  As we know, Trump went on a firing- and reshuffling spree (at the Pentagon) right before the Russian hack went down. Then he cut Biden out of the Pentagon briefings. Those briefings resumed after the failed insurrection. The guilty will pay.

  14. His "deals" regarding Iran have advanced Iran's nuclear program beyond what it was when Obama stopped them .. his "deals" with North Korea have seen NK advance its missile program quite a bit .. his "deals" with Turkey have given territory to Turkey and helped push out our allies (the Kurds, who helped defeat ISIS) and has allowed ISIS to regroup. Someone needs to stop him from "winning" more.

  15. @ELSHELL this is the one I use - Someone robbed a bank. A suspect has been found through police work. The DA is trying to get CCTV footage and testimony from the bank employees. The defense attorney insists his client is innocent and will win the case, yet both he and the defendant frantically block releasing the CCTV footage or letting the witnesses be interviewed. The judge and a number of the jurors have said they'll act in lockstep with the defendant's attorney.

  16. Reminds me of the former Spetznatz guy I dated for awhile.

  17. What exactly are these Republicans knotting their panties over? Surely they must be aware that Pence is next in line; that he can totally pardon Trump and anyone else; and that McConnell will 86 the impeachment the same way he disappeared Obama's supreme court pick, many other Obama nominees, and the nearly-300 pieces of House-passed legislation that are languishing in the waiting room outside ol' Moscow Mitch's office. What do they have to be afraid of? (besides the president's obvious guilt, that is)

  18. While Trump would probably love to have his Nazi/Confederate/supremacist base out there with the long guns at election time (to intimidate nonwhites to keep them from voting) someone probably told him that starting the party a few months too early might lead to an adverse outcome.

  19. If you feel bad about it, just send them what they would send you if you were gasping your last and turning blue - thoughts and prayers.

  20. No doubt Lindell is going to miss the days when an ex-crackhead pillow salesman could meet with the president of the United States of America and give him advice. Sorry, man, the Dr Oz salad days are over, and the adults are back in charge.

  21. Yeah. Trump has some weird pull with those aging boomers who, having lived all their lives in a prosperous democracy, now support the guy who's ripping that same democracy apart, and some of them even say they'd like to make him a dictator. Guess the LSD must have been really strong back in the day, hmm?

  22. I knew things would get worse in the USA because of the mismanaged pandemic, but I didn't know that every inbred whacktard nutball racist out there would do stuff like this or like the George Floyd murder.

  23. By now the number of refugees+immigrants+children kept in custody (from the southern border) must be up into 6 digits. The polite guess is that the money is being funneled to whoever owns those private prisons, but judging from the evil rhetoric that's been emanating from the white supremacist house these past few years, perhaps the money has been spent final-solutioning those poor people.

  24.  @powbobs  Don't waste your time. Facts are as wasted on the Trump culties as medicine on dead people.

  25. Guessing Trump's quislings aren't going to be doing too well in the surveys either. But then, maybe they should have had a trial (you know, with witnesses & evidence) instead of what amounted to a popularity contest for Trump. Sucks to be stupid, eh.

  26. Capitalism requires reserve armies of disposable workers just to function.

  27.  @anaxa4883  If you don't see why the comment about capitalism needing disposable workers is relevant to another comment about capitalism .. just have another cup of coffee and get back to me.

  30. "We'll have to endeavor to persevere", isn't that how you're supposed to say it slightly obfuscatingly?

  31.  @hughjanus1557  The Republicans are at the bottom of a hole and they just keep digging. Somebody robbed a bank. A suspect has been named and the investigation is ongoing. The DA is asking for the CCTV camera recordings and other evidence to prove or disprove that the suspect is indeed guilty. The defense attorney claims that he will easily win the trial, but he and the defendant frantically oppose the release of the CCTV recordings. He also wants to keep to witnesses and the bank teller from testifying. The judge and many of the jurors have said that they will act in total lockstep with the defendant's attorney. Idiot sheeple (aligned with the guilty party) are saying "no crime, get over it". What the absolute F?

  32. More like president Von Hindenberg, who handed off power to the new guy in January 1933, not realizing what a disaster that would be.

  33. You got a link to that?

  34. Watching Ben Shapiro trying to argue something is like watching a 25cc go-kart with a broken transaxle .. the tiny engine is all wound up but they're not going anywhere.

  35. It's going to get worse. When their status as a minority party is obvious, and when gerrymandering fails to keep them in power, they'll suddenly decide that letting citizens have guns isn't a good thing. They've already kissed the rule of law bye-bye, which is a clue that much worse things are in the works if they remain in power.

  36. You can tell Trumpanzees by the way they howled in rage when Obama committed the unconstitutional crimes of wearing a tan suit, using mustard, or trying to seat Merrick Garland a whole 8 months before an election - which, they said, is much too soon. Then when Trump tries to sue states that aren't voting for him, they shrug and say he's the law and order president. These people are either heavily medicated, heavily propagandized, or got dropped on their heads a lot as children.

  37. Ben is allegedly 35, yet their voice hasn't dropped yet, and it seems their face has never known a razor. Are they on T-blockers?

  38. Listening to the 100%-doormats trying to shame an 80%-doormat doesn't sound as threatening as they imagine it does. More like a demonstration that there are degrees of Stockholm Syndrome, and some are too stupid to realize when they're suffering from it.

  39. You gotta love the way Trump is now the DNC's secret weapon for helping Republicans screw the pooch in election after election. Trump's been hearing boos and chants of "lock him up" at every public event since the world series game in Washington DC, up to and including the NYC Veterans Day parade, he hasn't gotten the wall built, he hasn't won any trade wars, he hasn't fixed the Middle East, he's added trillions to the debt, and the best the Republicans can manage to do is say what great clothing their fat naked emperor is wearing. Feh :(

  40. Things in the USA are a little crazy now. It's a toxic combination of shitty healthcare system, lots of unhealthy people, lots of willful denial, and a leader with at least 3 different personalities. His followers are out there proving their loyalty by continuing to socialize as normal even as the virus spreads rapidly - as they put it, "owning the libs." By summertime, you'll be able to tell which houses have bodies in them by looking for the MAGA stickers on their vehicles.

  41.  @d.w.stratton4078  S/he is indeed weird. Probably alone in an apartment somewhere too. Perhaps other ways of reaching out would be more effective.

  42. If ever you wondered how the heinous Nazis got a following in Gerrmany back in the 1930s, wonder no more. Of course, he had some help. Interesting fact: before he became Hitler's #1 most trusted follower, Hermann Göring served as president of the Reischtag, and used that position to advance Hitler's illegal measures to gain power, much in the same way that the president of the Senate here in the US (Moscow Mitch McTurtle) is doing for Trump.

  43. LOL it's not as if Antifa has a website, a PO box, an organization, dues, uniforms, officers, etc. Wussolini, Barr, and the other fascists are smoking rope again.

  44. Sondland has 3 basic choices: 1. Tell the truth. This won't work because then he'll be in jail and he'll implicate Trump. << this is what adults do 2. Tell the same lie the president does, keep changing it when he does, and get in trouble for it. << this is what stupidly loyal people do 3. Tell a whole different lie, except that he has to keep changing it as new evidence emerges. << this is what stupid people do

  45. These days Trump is like a saint to the sort of Boomers who were never well moored to reality in the first place :(

  46.  @chadedwards7689  You mean you were secretly being sarcastic? Because if you've been paying any attention to the numbers, the states with the highest day-after-day percentage growth in new cases are the ones that refused to enact social distancing and stay-at-home for nonessentials. In other words - relaxing these things leads to more cases & more deaths. Is there any part of this you have trouble understanding?

  47. The actual transcript is going to be much much worse. And we have every reason to believe that many other such calls have taken place. Wonder if this is why the entire senior state department resigned early in 2017? They didn't want to be part of Don-the-con's sh!t show?

  48.  @BrendanBeckett  Not necessarily. Remember how Barr tried to "tone down" (misrepresent) Mueller's findings? The actual transcript is going to be much worse. Paging Madame LaFarge ..

  49. Nixon at least had the sense to bail when he realized his goose was cooked. Trump keeps vacillating between "I didn't misuse my office to get my political opponents investigated" to "everyone does this, it's no big deal", both of which fly in the face of the law and established precedence. He's ratfcked himself, and deservedly so. Inquiring minds would love to read all those other hidden transcripts.

  50.  @StuntpilootStef  Oh, that's right, Trump's mini-me Balsonaro is out there denying the severity of this thing just like Trump is doing. Sad.
