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

What's being done to Katie Hill - who, let me be clear, is a very attractive young lady - is a disgrace.

oooof

I feel like the alleged Iron Cross tattoo Katie Hill has on her bikini line in one of the pics might be the harder part to spin. (Alleged because I've only seen it mentioned in articles, not going to try to seek out the leaked pics myself).

republicans posted nude photos of a democratic member of congress? what the fuck?

lol who are the GOP Senators that don't automatically support this

Senate Republicans introduced a resolution on Thursday condemning the impeachment inquiry against President Trump and calling on the House to hold a formal vote on the inquiry.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is spearheading the resolution, which is backed by 44 GOP senators including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

The GOP senators not cosponsoring the resolution as of Thursday afternoon, according to a list from Graham's office, are: Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio).

There you are -- the ones mos in danger last night.

gosh, "condemn" is just such a strong word, I'm not sure that's really the road we want to be going down right now.

No, RedState did (I think). And as we all know, there is a huge difference between RedState and the GOP

I just think we need to look at all the facts before we figure out exactly how best to ignore them. For the good of the country.

I am kinda surprised about Enzi though, is he really at risk in fuckin Wyoming of all places

Maybe he has a small chunk of a conscience rattling around in his cold dead heart? It is weird, I agree

Less that. Enzi is retiring, so why give a fuck?

I think actually her soon-to-be ex husband gave the 'nude' picture of her to RedState. FWIW the nude picture is still, to me, fucking hilarious. It could only be better if someone were also in the frame eating a salad or something.

"Right In Front of My Salad!" indeed...

Nothing funny about revenge porn

What is ‘Horowitz’ to Fox chuds, you guys? My mom’s been saying this is the thing that will send our precious Dems to JAIL. (her emphasis, Lord help us)

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/10/inspector-general-fisa-report-carter-page-russia-investigation.html

Essentially the new yorker’s borowitz report has gotten so unfunny that the GOP is holding the democratic party criminally liable for it.

It’s horrible, hence “horowitz”

Neanderthal, I think you misspelled "Lamar!"

Lol nobody's going to jail

It'll be a boring procedural doc that Republicans try to spin as a game changer until Trump tries to fuck a penguin on live TV

LOL obviously no one is going to jail, I told my mom she was dreaming out loud.

Trump is going to jail

nah

lol

Greeeeeat, this will be fun. “Both sides” until 2020 and beyond

Ehh it was inevitable. The more they keep making "obvious" political moves, w/e. They have zero aces in the hole

Non-snarky "ehh" there!

This is now looking a lot more likely, only it could include indictments, perfectly timed to undercut the impeachment push: https://t.co/LLZvjOY2pI

Followed the next day by the Wall Street Journal editorial page explaining that, while actually fucking the penguin would certainly have meant Trump was unfit to office, his inability to maintain an erection and penetrate the penguin meant that this was just a partisan Democratic prosecution for impotence, which who among us has not experienced

seems like the justice department has gone completely off the rails:

sorry, posted without refreshing and didn't see the previous posts

I can’t believe Michelle Obama and George Clooney framed Putin, not cool

Hope they get what’s coming to them

No Rest 'Til Everyone In The Country Is In Jail!

I don't see as much of it anymore, but it seemed like 70% of hardcore Conservative Fake News Click Bait was headlined "Trey Gowdy/GOP Stooge of yr choice Delivers (The thing) That Will Send Obama/Clinton/Biden/Warren TO JAIL FOR LIFE!"

It has bubbled up into the actual DOJ

awesome country

Hate us

Eh. I might be wrong, but the White House and Justice Department, unlike at a comparable point in the Mueller investigations, has been consistently behind the headlines. Barr could issue an obfuscatory "memo" last spring; it's hard for a similar bullshit memo to change The Narrative when the public already has nine-tenths of the incriminating evidence.
