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

Kurds and wahey.

theres plenty more goodies in the pipeline

dinner at the conways must be a doozy

George tucks into a nice prime rib with potato, while Kellyanne inhales the cow's soul.

Metaphor for the Clinton impeachment.

bolton seems like a guy who might be willing to bury trump

Trump can always win him over by nuking Iran

Here are the nine GOP senators who have not signed on to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s tepid resolution condemning the impeachment process in the House:

Lamar Alexander (TN)*
Susan Collins (ME)
Mike Enzi (WY)
Cory Gardner (CO)
Johnny Isakson (GA)*
Lisa Murkowski (AK)
Rob Portman (OH)
Mitt Romney (UT)
Dan Sullivan (AK)

*not seeking re-election

only need 13 to reach 60 votes...(assuming all dem/independents stick together)

60 is not enough to remove though

oh, dur. welp, only 20 to reach 67 votes!
welp

dur

fuck

NPR had a piece on John Bolton's shrewd judgment this morning and I wanted to fucking kill myself

Can't wait until today's 'both sides' journalism takes the logical step of weighing the equally-valid viewpoints of the criminally insane as a fair and balanced counterpoint to those in possession of brains that function.

guys I don’t know how a pleasant way to say this but: we’re going to have to start murking old white people

rip morbs

John Bolton's shrewd judgment

as a bureaucratic climber and political infighter, yeah, he's "shrewd" in the same way Rumsfeld and Cheney were shrewd, iow able to win bureaucratic infights by fair means or foul, through facts or lies, horse-trading or double-crossing.

Big Mustache Energy

I have no idea what 'murking' means but that doesn't sound pleasant.

Murking means to become a mediocre Senator in Alaska

John Bolton's lip Merkin?

last night i learned that my racist texan republican stepmother has no time for trump (or ted cruz), which is interesting

her husband, who probably voted republican until the turn of the century, is intrigued by mayor pete -- it's incredibly in character for him to believe in mckinsey magic -- but worries that a gay dude cannot win the general election

'murika

Good news everyone!

!! Rudy Giuliani butt-dialed an NBC News reporter — twice — leaving long voicemail messages in which he's heard discussing Joe Biden, business in Bahrain and his need for cash.

"The problem is we need some money," Giuliani says to unidentified man.https://t.co/GTewUkCgSS

"I will say this: If anything ever happened with this phony witch hunt that the Democrats are doing ... I really believe you’d have a recession, depression the likes of which this country hasn’t seen," Trump said, questioning how Democrats could impeach "one of the most successful presidents."

Such a predictable jerk off .

'why can't i just admit no wrongdoing and settle out of court?'

"This buttcall may be recorded for quality assurance purposes."

clowncar of murked Muriccans mucking about

that tweet about giuliani is hilarious

lol aimless

This is like when last week the student who had accidentally invited me to join a What'sApp chat posed the site where she found the midterm and six people left the group at once.

lol, awkward

Lol Huckleberry’s got every GOP Senator except Murkowski, Collins, and Pierre on board... but it will never get a vote.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who supports the resolution, has not said if it will come up for a vote. If it did, it would currently fail to overcome a procedural hurdle that requires legislation get 60 votes in order to advance on the Senate floor.

Total empty stunt to reassure Trump

Total empty stunt to reassure Trump

And who knows, they may need a pardon some day.

that Giuliani voicemail seems suspiciously loaded...."there's plenty more to come out" "he's got a drug problem" etc.

I know, he's probably not clever enough to fake a butt dial in order to muddy the waters, but OF COURSE by the end of the day we are going to see R's pointing at this message as evidence bolstering their case

Supreme Court gonna be pretty busy protecting "their guy" next year

this horowitz stuff is such a damp squib.

everyone knows that jfk junior and donald j trump already compromised the clintons and obama to a permanent end and replaced them with non-satanic doppelgängers

heh

I have to admit, between the impeachment investigation, all the madness with Giuliani, Trump's increasingly desperate and panic-stricken tweets and helipad bellows, his company peeling his name off the ice rinks in Central Park and looking to sell the DC hotel, I'm feeling an odd sense of warmth. The fucker eventually craters everything he touches, and this, the largest of his cons, is finally really starting to fall apart.

Oh, and this is an old story but a fun one.

Nine years before becoming president, Donald Trump went on an expletive-filled tirade during a meeting with New Jersey officials about a real estate proposed development, at one point saying the state was “f—ed up” and deriding South Jersey Democratic power broker George Norcross and his brother Phil as “useless.”

The May 8, 2008, meeting at Trump Tower in New York City between the future president; Gary Rose, an adviser to former Gov. Jon Corzine; and former New Jersey Division of Law Director Robert Gilson has become the stuff of legend in New Jersey political circles.

The Record newspaper of northern New Jersey earlier this year reported some details from the meeting. However, a contemporaneous memo authored by Gilson and recently obtained by POLITICO provides more detail than previously known, including the references to the Norcross brothers, who have come under scrutiny over how they crafted and took advantage of New Jersey‘s tax incentive programs, from which they and some of their allies and clients have benefited.

link to the full memo

During this discussion, at one point, Mr. Trump threw his pen at his desk and it ricocheted off and hit his daughter.

and she blamed the pen manufacturer, who was clearly a RINO

given my shallowish non-transactional background on RE matters, i have always guessed most developer meetings are exactly like that.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/26/trump-will-address-nation-sunday-morning-after-tweeting-something-very-big-happened.html

President Donald Trump will make a “major statement” to the nation at 9 a.m. ET Sunday, the White House said late Saturday night.

It wasn’t immediately clear what Trump would discuss in his speech. The president tweeted earlier Saturday night that “Something very big has just happened!” but did not follow up with further details.

“The President of the United States will be making a major statement tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock from the White House,” White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said in a statement that came more than an hour after Trump’s tweet. The White House initially said Judd Deere, another spokesman, had made the statement.

Hoping for "I have been selected God-Emperor of Dune and will be leaving the planet. Good luck! Make Arrakis Great Again!"

'Judd Deere' is recognized on the list of Trump Crew W/Pynchon names, yes?

I bet this about him going to Game 5 tho.

He's gonna throw the first pitch and get fake snipered.

The president will announce that he's nuked another golden toilet

The fact that it's so easy to predict how this will play out is both hilarious and depressing.

this will be a big thing for about a day and then will devolve into a grievance abt how Trump doesn’t feted like Obama with OBL and Dems don’t agree to end impeachment inquiry because this guy got killed. https://t.co/Y1mQFLJ3pX
