Well…not sure if you read about this little bombshell that dropped over the weekend but one of the Ukrainians indicted for funneling Russian money to repub campaigns in 2016, and who was neck deep in the Ukraine/Biden conspiracy has given tapes of trump, giuliani and others to the House committee that is still investigating the crimes that trump and his cronies committed. Now, let that one sink in a minute…Lev Parnas has tapes, photos, and video of the conspiracy in real time that he has already turned over to investigators…now, I wonder how the repubs are going to spin this one? “Who are going to believe, me or your own eyes?” is going to be the latest talking point that is going to come out of the conspirators and fox news…and it won’t make a damn bit of difference to them that these tapes will make abundantly clear that trump was at the head of these crimes and induced others to committ felonies on his behalf…now, we all know that there is nothing trump can do to lose the synchophants who are protecting him…but they all better lawyer up for when trump is gone because they are all going to need them….

Poor Devin stepped in it…
Well…as Devin Nunes did everything in his power to try to derail the impeachment hearings, reporting that came out Friday gave us part of the why…other than being a trump loving asshole, that is. In December of last year, ole Devie and three of his henchmen took a trip to Vienna to meet with, guess who? The disgraced former Ukrainian prosecutor, Shokin, who was thrown out of office for corruption…and guess what he was meeting Shokin for? Yep, to try to do trump’s bidding by looking for “dirt” on the Bidens, the server, and whether or not the moon is made of green cheese. This idiot spent 63K of taxpayers dollars to do it, and with that, he committed the same crime that the idiot trump did since ole Devie was part of the conspiracy that every other damn person in the trump crime family is guilty of….and reveals that his is dumber than a box of rocks and is just another repub who Putin is using to attack the US….like every damn on of them. Luckily, the dems are in control of congress for this ethics investigation and little Devie is not going to escape with a slap on the wrist this time…how about no more committee assignments where he protects trump? Oh, and the latest is that he is going to sue CNN for reporting on his crimes…just like is suing a cow for tweeting bad things about him…it ain’t going to end well, Devie….oh, one last thing…one of the Ukrainian “fixers” who were working for trump in his scandal has said that yep, Devie was there and he did talk to Shokin…twice…sue that Devie…
Dr. Hill nails the repubs…
Well…I haven’t been watching too much of the hearings in the house but I’m glad I did today….the state department Russia expert, Dr. Hill, tore into the repubs for parroting Russian talking points that Ukraine was responsible for the 2016 election interference when every damn intelligence agency of ours and of our allies have shown that it was Russia and Russia alone who did it…and she said this disinformation is part of the Russian plan to continue to meddle in our elections and that the repubs are willing dupes for Russia. I can’t wait to see if the repubs will still push this nonsense later today since they have been crying that Dr. Hill has been mean to them by being blunt about their help for the Russian interference…this could get interesting later….
I don’t want to hear it…
Well…the next time any damn repub goes on about how they are the only party that supports our troops, I don’t want to hear it…after how the assorted group of draft dodgers and pedophile protectors went after Col. Vindman today, trying to impugn his service and love of this country with innuendo and outright lies to protect the 5 time draft dodger who squats in the WH, they can never say they support the troops ever again…and, we all know that the repubs support of the troops has been a lie for decades as they stage photo ops with them but then cut the VA and any programs that benefits them…like the bone spur in chief who stole funds earmarked to rehab schools and hospitals that the troops need for their families to build his stupid wall…and now they are trying to tear down a decorated veteran who is doing his duty to protect the constitution while the criminal in chief just keeps committing more and more crimes. When Col. Vindman was at the end of his opening statement, he did what any good son would do for his father when he stated “do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth”….this is a true American talking, not the repub assholes who are attacking him for his “divided loyalties” because he wasn’t born here….they can all go to hell….
Impeachment is boring?
Well…you know the media is almost too far gone to save when they call the most important hearings in our lifetimes “boring” and try to dismiss them just for that opinion. What the hell are they supposed to be? Full of dancing bears and fireworks? These are damn serious times and if the hearings are “boring” to you, then you are either a trumpbot or just plain stupid…after all what was revealed yesterday by just the first two witnesses was that trump personally ordered his cronies to extort and bribe Ukraine into fabricating dirt on the Bidens and to try to say that the Russian hacking of the 2016 elections was actually done by the Ukrainians…and, guess what? Bribery is specifically mentioned as one of the actions that should get a president impeached and removed…and it doesn’t fall under the “high crimes and misdemeanors” catch all….so there is no interpretation necessary…it’s right there in black and white that trump should be removed because he tried to bribe Ukraine with military assistance that was appropriated by congress and should have not have been subject to any conditions but those in the legislation that appropriated it…look, every damn thing that trump has done since he was installed by Putin was for his own personal gain or that of Putin and Russia and it was made clear yesterday how foreign policy has been subverted for that purpose by trump….and he should be removed…now….
Corruption?
Well…hey, the repubs have a new talking point on trump’s extortion of the Ukraine for personal political gain…just this morning they floated the new one that trump was talking about “general corruption” and the Bidens were part of that…there was no targeting of the Bidens at all…but, trump and his idiot cronies only wanted the Ukraine to root out corruption to make their country better. Now, as I stop laughing so hard I almost choked, I wonder why Ukraine is the only country that aid was predicated on a “corruption” investigation…and I wonder why trump and his cronies wrote the statement that the president of Ukraine was supposed to say to the public when they have never required that from say Turkey, or Saudi Arabia when they pour money into those countries that are rife with corruption and murder of their own citizens. So, it’s all just more bullshit from the bullshit administration trying to keep the idiot trump in office…and it isn’t going to work….
Back to politics…
Well…this is going to be a big week in politics with the formal impeachment hearings of the idiot in chief starting Wednesday, and I’m not sure what I should think about that…while I do feel that if any president has ever warranted impeachment, trump is the one who deserves it…but, it is going to be pretty damn painful for the country when we find out just how corrupt trump and his cronies are and the collusion from the entire damn repub party that is keeping him shielded from the laws that every damn other American (who is not rich) has to follow. One of the things to look for as the process starts is going to be the flip flop that repubs are going to do with the Mueller report since it appears that Mueller was not as thorough as we assumed as the process was going on….and new information is coming out about just how deep the trump campaign was in the pocket of the Russians and it clarifies why trump and his cronies were trying so damn hard to get Ukraine to say they were the ones who hacked the 2016 election…and while the repubs have spent the past 7 months attacking the report…they are now going to pivot to saying that, if the information that the House investigation uncovers is not in the Mueller report, it can’t be true since Mueller was such and upstanding guy who did a wonderful job…at least that’s my prediction since the repubs are such hypocrites that coming down on both sides of an argument is what they do every day…it’s going to be an interesting week and I am going to block out some time for the hearings…it will be a flashback to Watergate for me…
This should end it but it won’t…
Well…with ambassador Gordon Sondland going back to congress to “clarify” last weeks testimony and confirming in no uncertain terms that yes, he did tell the Ukraine that they wouldn’t get any military aid unless they issued a statement saying Russia had nothing to do with helping trump in the 2016 election and that they were opening investigations into the Bidens. On top of that, trump and his minions dictated the statement that they wanted Ukraine to say….I think that Sondland saw the transcripts that were released this week of the other people testifying and saw that, crap, he was in big trouble and then used the typical liars dodge that the other testimony jogged his memory and NOW he really remembers…all the while hoping that this “clarification” will keep him out of jail. Now, with this testimony that, yes indeedy, trump and his cronies did try to extort Ukraine to lie and help trump in 2020, this should be enough to end trump but it won’t be with the repubs carrying around their own moveable goalposts…and now saying that a crime isn’t a crime. One thin is certain, that even if they do keep trump from being removed and he serves out his term, he will be prosecuted after he is out of office and, with the evidence that is now public against him, a first year law student could get a conviction and send him away for the rest of his life…can’t wait for that perp walk…and for everyone else from Barr on down who will go to jail too…
Cracks in the wall of obstruction..
Well…with the testimony of Col. Alexander Vindman to the house impeachment inquiry yesterday, we now know that the “transcript” of trump’s extortion call to Ukraine’s president had been altered to make it look less incriminating to trump and his cronies….editing out trump’s constant pressure to get Ukraine to investigate the 2016 election interference and the many times he mentioned the Bidens by name. Hey, let’s add this crime to all of the other crimes trump has committed just this year…and add another article of impeachment of obstruction and cover up…hmmm…I wonder who else was guilty of a coverup? Could it be Nixon? Yep…but this coverup is so much worse since it involves our foreign policy being subverted to benefit trump and only trump…while Nixon’s crimes were within our borders…an order of magnitude less in damage to our country. There are still more witnesses testifying all this week to add to the already damning information that has already come out and the dam appears to be breaking on trump’s attempt to use mafia tactics to keep everyone quiet and himself out of jail….I think some of this is patriotism, especially in the case of Col. Vindman, but some of it is just CYA as the rats start to desert trump’s sinking ship…don’t care which as long as trump goes to jail….
More obstruction…
Well…with the stunt the repubs pulled today of storming into the secure briefing room where a witness was giving testimony on the Ukraine extortion, all of them should be censured to start with, but then they should all be charged with obstruction of a congressional investigation…and the kicker of the whole thing was that, again, trump was aware of and supporting this crap…and that makes for another article of impeachment and adds to his already ongoing daily obstruction. Now, the repubs are always going on and on that they are the party of national security but every damn one of these idiots that pushed their way into the secure room where they don’t belong since they are not on that committee who is taking the testimony, took his cell phone into the room which is a severe breach of security and IC rules…and now, because these assholes pulled this stunt, the facility has to be swept for bugs to ensure that it is still secure from spying. This is just another incidence where the repubs don’t think any rules or laws apply to them and I think Nancy Pelosi needs to bring the hammer down on all of them…how about taking away all of their committee assignments to start with…we need to stomp on this crap as hard as possible…and do it now…
