How bizarre. I can't believe what just happened, happened. The Republican response doesn't seem to go much beyond acknowledging that a mistake has been made. I guess they're sending Pence somewhere to try to unfuck it, but I fear this is a futile errand. We've just lost the best allies we've had in the region. We just gave them arms and a bit of support, and they did our dirty work quickly and efficiently. Not only have we lost them, but we've lost them to the likes of Assad and Putin.

Imagine if a Democrat president had done the exact same thing as Trump. Oh, the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments there'd have been.

Russia hacked the RNC email as well as the DNC, but didn't release the RNC.

Clowns like Graham spun on a dime from opposed to Trump to full sycophant. It's clear how much he's terrified of losing his seat to a MAGAhat uprising, it's not clear how much kompromat was on that server.

Found the child trafficking ring:

[lisarea]

However, the foster family that Alexa was placed into by Bethany Christian Services, allegedly ignored repeated requests from a variety of institutions, including from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), to return her to Araceli.

It is bizarre how people will get onboard with that comically baroque QAnon crap, while real, verifiable child trafficking is happening right out in the open.

[BrotherMan]

Yeah but none of those so called real things involve Hillary Clinton so, qpq, ipso de facto, ergo, they don't matter.

[SR71]

Yeah fer real. We're gonna need to see that server... Ukraine.

This shit is amazing, fascinating and scary. I'm probably not as up to date on the whole Ukraine 'quid pro quo' issue as some of you, but this is an interesting summary of Taylor's opening statement to Congress. So if you don't know who Taylor, Sondland and others are, this might interest you as well.

good evening.

the president of the united states is in trouble.

Also, it's sort of funny in spots

--taylor went to mike pompeo and was like, "promise me there ain't gon' be no fuck shit. cause i heard there was fuck shit afoot."

Welcome everybody to authoritarian 101, today we will be discussing control, trust and punishment and how authoritarians harm those close to them the most, especially those who disobey their ever changing whim, traitors are punished most severely.

“The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats. Watch out for them, They are human scum.” -Trump, The great dictator, in this third year of our True lord and savior.

The governor's response is pretty good.

Here's a list of GOP heroes who participated in yesterday's Brooks Brothers Riot 2.0 in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Here's another possibly overlapping list of those who were scheduled as participants but who already had access. Ken Buck is on it, Matlock.

Oh and that thing about building a wall in Colorado? It was a really clever joke that all y'all lefty dipshits were too dumb to understand and appreciate.

Ukraine-a-lago implicates a Senator – and at that, possibly the dumbest man in the Senate, which is saying something.

Sen. Johnson, ally of Trump and Ukraine, surfaces in crucial episodes in the saga – The Washington Post

Sen. Ron Johnson met in July with a former Ukrainian diplomat who has circulated unproven claims that Ukrainian officials assisted Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, a previously unreported contact that underscores the GOP senator’s involvement in the unfolding narrative that triggered the impeachment inquiry of President Trump.

In an interview this past week, Andrii Telizhenko said he met with Johnson (Wis.) for at least 30 minutes on Capitol Hill and with Senate staff for five additional hours. He said discussions focused in part on “the DNC issue” — a reference to his unsubstantiated claim that the Democratic National Committee worked with the Ukrainian government in 2016 to gather incriminating information about then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Telizhenko said he could not recall the date of the meeting, but a review of his Facebook page revealed a photo of him and Johnson posted on July 11.

“I was in Washington, and Sen. Johnson found out I was in D.C., and staff called me and wanted to do a meeting with me. So I reached out back and said, ‘Sure, I’ll come down the Hill and talk to you,’ ” Telizhenko told The Washington Post on Wednesday.

Perhaps one of our lolyers can edify us with the implications of this, because I’m still sifting through commentary on it.

Also, ICYMI, the Nationals’ crowd boos the president* and chants “Lock him up!”:

Trump getting booed and enduring chants of "Lock Him Up" at the World Series is exactly the kind of content my heart desires.

2/ It’s like they sandwiched him between folks in uniform so he’d get some mercy cheers or they’d bleed over. But people hate Trump too much for that.

[The Lone Ranger]

That [Trump getting "boo"ed by thousands] is the best thing I've seen since … forever, really.

It's also a testimonial to just how out-of-touch he and his enablers are that it apparently didn't occur to them that this is exactly what you'd expect to happen whenever he appears before the general public outside one of his carefully-staged rallies.
