🖕 🍊 🤡 A Continuing Round-Up of Trumpian Events 🖕 🍊 🤡

Yeah, I realized that shortly after I posted, but I also was wondering why Nunes wasn’t commenting in the news yesterday? He’s not usually shy about Schiff, the committee, and Trump.

This makes me suspect that his DNA is all over this plan. I wouldn’t be surprised if he and Trump concocted this.

an additional point to make is that 13 of these individuals are actually part of various impeachment committees.

Nunes was already in the room. If he confesses to involvement in any of this he knows damn well that he’ll never see the inside of it again. He’s keeping his mouth shut to keep his power.

Let’s not use terms implying mental illness when no clinical evidence exists.

…in bipartisan hearings that are going to be taken public?
Is there a more acceptable way to impeach a president who’s repeatedly admitted to his own crimes?
Or do you just really want an excuse to buy an AR-15 for yourself? I’m guessing the latter.

So over 80% of people want leaders to compromise more and 80% want leaders to stand up to “the other side” more. Yeah, two thirds of the way to civil war sounds about right.

There’s really no ‘compromise and common ground’ to be found on basic positions like “climate change is resolved science and a crisis and we should act” vs. “climate change does not exist”; “LGBT people are humans” vs. “they have no right to exist”, or “we should help refugees” vs “they should all be killed”. I feel like we go through periods of having leaders that act against the common good and for their own self-interests and then pull things back to a modicum of normality before this crap happens again.

That’s the part the Molon labe idiots forget. Xerxes’ response was essentially a shrug “Okay”. And he did as they asked.

“If Turkey was planning on coming into northern Syria and trying to ethnically cleanse the Kurds, and U.S. troops were caught in the middle, I am not completely convinced that it was a bad idea to get them out of harm’s way,” - Texas Sen. John Cornyn

Look, if you know robbers are coming for your bank, the only responsible thing is to pull all the security guards ahead of time, right?

Or he had already exited and was running to the White House to tattle to Unca Donny.

This is exactly what I was trying to convey in my poor clarification to @DukeTrout.

I’m hypothesizing that Nunes and Trump cooked up this entire escapade. It’s always when the most vocal troublemaker gets very quiet that one needs to worry. He’s never shied away from controversy before, even when the optics looked bad.

Where were his talking points yesterday?

(The only other explanation is that he’s heard the testimonies and now he’s no longer as supportive of Trump. That’s a hard one to believe.)
