US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

An unearned sense of unfair victimization is a powerful drug, my dude

"This guy is Putin's fantasy puppet."

the russians used kompromat to get trump to try and bribe the president of the ukraine

i wonder what the standard of kompromat is for DJT, as he thinks everything makes him look wonderful.

Does diplomatic immunity extend to perjury? Asking for a friend.

Sondland is just kind of a minimalist testifier

US Special Envoy for Syria Jim Jeffries

comedy audiences grew hostile towards him, so he got an easier job

true story: Jim Jefferies changed his stage name from Jim Jeffries to Jim Jefferies to avoid confusion

Once again?

SCOOP: An internal memo obtained by @Axios warns that "the White House is posturing itself to be electronically compromised once again.” At least 12 top- or high-level officials have resigned recently from a key WH cybersecurity team. https://t.co/aEPp8FmIv1

that Trump's criminal proclivities happen to dovetail nicely w Putin's anti-Europe manuevering doesn't mean he's not compromised

kind of baffled that there are ppl in here who still don't understand (or what? don't want to believe?) that for decades our now-president has been laundering what is essentially mob money w/ Russian oligarchs and they have him over a barrel

yes, puppetry

they're very sensitive about nu-mccarthyism

or are just sick of basically baseless assertions?

xposts Why do I feel like we should brace ourselves for explanations of why using an unsecure email server is way way worse than using Dropbox or Google Drive or whatever mindblowing dumbfuckery is going on rn.

Ah, of course.

Update from the SCIF: sources tell me Rep. Louie Gohmert has begun using an astronaut toilet, the one with the suction cups, in front of everyone because "this is how you pee in the SCIF." Unclear where he got the toilet but it's not in fact part of the SCIF.

Asking because I genuinely don’t know the answer but if Warren gets elected next year what would we anticipate her solution to the tension between Kurdish statehood and Turkish nationalism to be? The line a lot of Democrats are taking is that they support withdrawing US troops, but not like this. Is there any clarity on what needs to happen before the US can pull back ‘properly’?

wtf does morbs now not believe in russian election meddling? what the fucking hell

Hade, u r a Yankee fan

lol these guys are so stupid that "beneath contempt" is a compliment.

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said on Wednesday that it was difficult to draw "hard, fast conclusions" from a top U.S. diplomat's closed-door testimony but that the "picture" from initial reports was "not a good one."

"The picture coming out of it based on the reporting that we've seen is, yeah, I would say not a good one," Thune told reporters when a reporter characterized William Taylor's testimony as "troubling."

"But I would say also that, again, until we have a process that allows for everybody to see this in full transparency, it's pretty hard to draw any hard, fast conclusions," Thune added.

Thune noted at the time that he had not read Taylor's testimony but had seen only initial reports.

Not sure how labeling a very real impeachment inquiry "so-called" is supposed to work in his favor.

Kinda sad I wished for Scalise's recovery at one point

Can't quite put my finger on why this particular stunt is enraging me to the extent that it is, but it will pale in comparison to the rage I'll feel when these dumbfucks manage to skirt any real and effectual punishment for their dumbfuckery.

he just...tweeted it out

is it not like...totally illegal to do this

god sometimes I really wished the law applied to Republicans

Not sure how labeling a very real impeachment inquiry "so-called" is supposed to work in his favor.

White House strategy is to claim they don't have to cooperate with the inquiry because the House has not yet voted to open an inquiry.

it's almost as if the party that couldn't successfully manage a governing majority in Congress doesn't actually understand how Congress works

let's not forget the time the dems stormed into these closed door sessions

Lady Lindsay Demands Decorum!

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Wednesday rebuked the GOP congressman who stormed a closed-door hearing earlier in the day to protest the Democrats' impeachment inquiry protest, calling the act “nuts.”

“That’s not the way to do it,” Graham said of the GOP House members moves, according to a report by The Associated Press.

Dozens of Republican members of the House crashed, including some members of leadership like House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), barged into the secure hearing room in the Capitol basement delaying the testimony of Laura Cooper, the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia.
