Devin Nunes bedtime stories
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.
Scumbag, Part 3: Smartest guy in the room
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.
Scumbag, Part 2: Not going down alone
Still watching Sondland’s testimony. It’s entertaining. He’s twisting around, denying his own involvement while ratting out all his friends. Whatever else, HE’S not going to jail. So far, Sondland’s testimony has been lawyerly, but I mean that in the absolutely worst way.
Scumbag, Part 1: Sondland testimony
Rep. Adam Schiff has impressed me with his forthright leadership during the Impeachment. And yet, somehow, he’s left me sympathetic to Ambassador Gordon Sondland. That’s a pretty decent achievement, given that Sondland is, by all counts, a lying, self-serving, boot-licking scumbag minion.
Democrats are better at governance Republicans
Democrats are simply better than Republicans at governing. Republicans are full of empty talk; Democrats keep the trains running. Democrats create new systems that we love; Republicans can’t pay the bills on time. And the economy and the stock market do better under Democrats. Why do the rich vote Republican?
Do we value Yovanovitch’s emotions more than Ambassador Taylor’s?
Why did so many people in the House Intelligence Committee ask Ambassador Yovanovitch about her feelings? The Committee didn’t spend much time on Ambassador William Taylor’s emotions. But maybe we should. I found the Ambassador’s emotional reactions powerfully compelling.
Why don’t Republicans have exculpatory witnesses?
As the Impeachment hearings get underway, I’m watching the Republicans. They spend half their time in tentative legal counterarguments and half pontificating on nonsense. Both were a thin gruel of out-of-scope conspiracies and straight-up lying. Why don’t Republicans have counterarguments or exculpatory witnesses? They can’t find anyone to speak in their behalf.
Trump and Congress: Dad’s abusing Mom again
What’s impeachment about? Dad stole the military money Mom gave him for the Ukraine kid, they blackmailed the kid into lying about Mom. When Mom caught him, Dad lied about it and hid all the papers. Now all he does is scream at Mom and yell insults at anyone who doesn’t believe she had it coming.
