The damaged news media are making the same mistakes covering the impeachment that they make covering the presidency, his administration, the elections, and most politics. Our independent media — a critical democratic institution – are compromised.
Ambassador Sondland’s testimony hasn’t aged well. Yes, Sondland called out some of Trump’s Ukrainian deals, but he backed off of others. In full scumbag mode, Sondland described a Sept. phone call where Trump insisted “No quid pro quo!” and other purported virtues. And it didn’t take long before that story got shopworn.
On Nov 17th, President Trump visited doctors suddenly. In today’s tribal groupthink, we can be vicious animals at the scent of blood. We’ve forgotten the essential ethics: we at 3SR wish Trump good health and hope that this event will be resolved easily.
Is anyone really surprised that Rep. Devin Nunes is involved in Trump’s Ukraine extortion scandal? Or that he didn’t disclose it? We already know Devin is a Trump toady and a proven liar.
To honor the International day condemning Violence Against Women, Spain’s far-right Vox party called for repealing existing anti-violence laws. Like U.S. Republicans, they see men hurting women as an important part of their cultural heritage.
The parallels between the Trump Administration and Richard Nixon’s administration should frighten us. The incredible similarities are staggering and worth remembering.
Devin Nunes does his best to repeat the ludicrous Republican story defending Trump. Trouble is, all Nunes has are howlers. Worse, Nunes is trying to spin an entire narrative out of hot air and spit.
Ambassador Gordon Sondland is impressive, smarter than many people in the room. He’s still a scumbag spit-bucket of a lawyer, but Jesus, I sit here in awe. Sondland makes his threats indirectly but clearly: I’m not going down alone.
