i'm shocked that the guy who constantly buttdials reporters is maybe not the best pick to advise on cybersecurity. someone should look into this (probably someone who is completely unqualified to look into things like that)

As I recall it, Coulter broke with Trump because he didn't build the border wall known as "Wall" (paid for by Mexico), didn't deport ten million undocumented immigrants, and didn't repeal the ACA (replacing it with much better, cheaper health care for everyone), along with many other crazy things she was counting on him to deliver because he said he would.

tbf this is prima facie a good reason to break with Trump and should be widely encouraged, not mocked

Most of the voters who elected Trump on the basis of these absurd promises do not blame Trump for his failure to deliver them, for in their minds Trump's genius for accomplishing such huge things could only be stymied by a nefarious combination of obstinate Democrats, the Fake Media, and the Deep State. Therefore, he is blameless.

Enjoy the email I ("Bob Dobalina") got from the Trump campaign this afternoon:

IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION VOTE RESULTS

Party Yea NAY
Radical Democrats 231 2
Republicans 0 194

DEAR NANCY AND DEMS: NO MORE BS! READ THE TRANSCRIPT!

Bob,

Democrats know that I’ve done nothing wrong but they are trying to take us down, that’s why 231 Democrats voted to continue this Hoax and formalize the Impeachment Probe.

This Impeachment nonsense is just a continuation of the Witch Hunt Hoax, which has been going on since before I even got elected. They hate me, but most of all they hate YOU, Bob.

They hate the idea of you being in charge of our country. They want to ERASE your vote like it never existed, they want to ERASE your voice, and they want to ERASE your future.

But I know they will fail because in America:

THE PEOPLE RULE AGAIN!

Today is the LAST DAY of the month, and with only 9 hours left before the deadline we’re still CRITICALLY SHORT of our goal.

Previously a group of donors had agreed to triple-match all contributions, but with this Impeachment news I’ve authorized something we’ve never done before….

All donations made before MIDNIGHT TONIGHT will be instantly 5X-MATCHED.

Contribute ANY AMOUNT before MIDNIGHT TONIGHT and your contribution will be 5X-MATCHED. >>
​​​​​​
October End-Of-Month Deadline

CONTRIBUTE $5 = $30

CONTRIBUTE $20 = $120

CONTRIBUTE $15 = $90

CONTRIBUTE $10 = $60

CONTRIBUTE $5 = $30

CONTRIBUTE ANY AMOUNT

We must put an end to this Do-Nothing Democrat Nonsense.

These people are truly sick. We need to fight back bigger and stronger than ever before if we’re going to put an end to this SCAM.

My team is sending me a list of everyone who does their part and donates before MIDNIGHT. I need you on my side in this Impeachment Fight. Don’t let me down.

Trump reportedly started by noting how tough Scalise was—but warned against getting shot as a weight-loss strategy. Trump then said Scalise’s wife “cried her eyes out when I met her at the hospital that fateful day… I mean not many wives would react that way to tragedy. I know mine wouldn’t.”

Trump, Lifelong New Yorker, Declares Himself a Resident of Florida

He came of age in Queens, built Trump Tower, starred in “The Apprentice,” bankrupted his businesses six times, and drew cheering crowds and angry protesters to Fifth Avenue after his election. Through it all, President Trump — rich, bombastic and to many Americans the epitome of a New Yorker — was intertwined with the city he called his lifelong home.

No longer.

In late September, Mr. Trump changed his primary residence from Manhattan to Palm Beach, Fla., according to documents filed with the Palm Beach County Circuit Court. Melania Trump, the first lady, also changed her residence to Palm Beach in an identical document.

Each of the Trumps filed a “declaration of domicile” saying that the Mar-a-Lago Club, Mr. Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, will be their permanent residence.

“If I maintain another place or places of abode in some other state or states, I hereby declare that my above-described residence and abode in the State of Florida constitutes my predominant and principal home, and I intend to continue it permanently as such,” reads the document that Mr. Trump filed.

“I formerly resided at 721 Fifth Avenue,” the document says, referring to Trump Tower, which has been his primary residence since he moved into the skyscraper off 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan in 1983.

An attachment lists his “other places of abode” as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the address for the White House, and his private golf club in Bedminster, N.J., where he spends warm-weather weekends and a few weeks every summer.

Since becoming president, Mr. Trump has spent 99 days at Mar-a-Lago compared with 20 days at Trump Tower, according to NBC News. Although Mr. Trump ran his presidential transition from Trump Tower and some aides had expected him to spend many weekends there in his Louis XIV-style triplex on the 58th floor, his presence created traffic headaches for New Yorkers and logistical and security challenges for the Secret Service.

White House officials declined to say why Mr. Trump changed his primary residence, but a person close to the president said the reasons were primarily for tax purposes.

The person also said that Mr. Trump, who is deeply unpopular in New York, was infuriated by a lawsuit filed by Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the Manhattan district attorney, seeking the president’s tax returns, which Mr. Trump has not released. Changing his residence to Florida is not expected to have any effect on the lawsuit.

Oh please oh please oh please...

A defiant President Trump signaled he will not cooperate with the Democratic Party's impeachment proceedings, insisting his telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was "a good call" and that he might read it aloud to Americans so they can see his point.

“This is over a phone call that is a good call,” Trump, sitting behind the Resolute Desk, said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. "At some point, I’m going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat on live television, and I will read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it. When you read it, it’s a straight call.”

Trump spoke at a key moment in his presidency, with the Democrats preparing for a new, public phase in their effort to impeach Trump. Hours earlier, a bitterly divided House of Representatives had endorsed the impeachment inquiry, setting out rules for a process that is almost certain to overshadow much of the 2020 election.

But even after the vote, the president said he had no intention of taking part in the proceedings. Asked whether he would cooperate with the impeachment proceedings by honoring document requests and subpoenas, Trump responded: “You are setting a terrible precedent for other presidents,” he said.

...in a free-ranging, 80-minute conversation in the Oval Office with Washington Examiner reporters and editors, he insisted charges were nothing compared with those lodged against three other presidents to face impeachment.

“Everybody knows I did nothing wrong,” he said. “Bill Clinton did things wrong; Richard Nixon did things wrong. I won’t go back to (Andrew) Johnson because that was a little before my time," he said. "But they did things wrong. I did nothing wrong.”

xpost c'mon, it would just be another phony edited transcript right? like his contention is that people just haven't read the wonderful summary of his perfect phone call, and if they did they would see it was one of the most beautiful calls ever made.

Will it have sex sounds like his imitation of those texts? He should totally recreate the phone call, doing both voices, with sex sounds.

has this bimbo ever told the truth?

Having called around some, reassured in my judgment that those House Republicans open to voting for impeachment simply decided to stick with the party yesterday, and to save their dissent for the real vote. No point telegraphing the jail break to the prison guards ahead of time.
