This is funny, dailykos.com. When Trump showed up at Turning Point USA, someone put up the presidential seal, but modified it to give the eagle two heads and a set of golf clubs.

re: #42 Rightwingconspirator
So Sean Hannity has a secret hand puppet and his name is Gohmert.
Gohmert is everyone’s secret hand puppet.
Just tell him what to say and he will regurgitate it. He is incapable of independent thought.
Sadly, he keeps getting re-elected. His District is behind the Pine Curtain of East Texas, which is sadly a region of Jesus Freaks and mouth breathers, many of whom’s last words are “Y’all watch this shit!”.

The Double Headed Eagle, in black and gold, was the traditional upper left corner of the Tsarist flag of Russia, with three horizontal bands of red, white, and blue.
He’s talking about all the great things he’s achieved as governor.

Talking about his great economic successes now… . Guy sounds like a Spanish version of Trump.

re: #10 austin_blue
5th columnist. It’s not accidental. It’s too specific.
5th column to the Trump Cult, or 5th column to the United States?
Governor Roselló will resign effective August 2 at 5:00.
In the streets, the crowd erupts in cheers.
Governor Roselló becomes the first Governor of Puerto Rico to resign in the middle of a term.
The crowd’s singing is ringing through the streets of San Juan.
The current head of the Department of Justice, Wanda Vázquez Garced, will become the new governor.

In accordance with Puerto Rico’s constitution, the successor is the head of the Department of State. He resigned over the same scandal a few days ago.
Next in line is the head of the Department of Justice, Wanda Vázquez Garced. She will become Puerto Rico’s first woman governor.

People need to be in the streets striking for the Republic as they have done in San Juan. Puerto Ricans are showing how it’s done.
People with Democratic representatives and senators need to be burning up the phones to their representatives; if you can’t get through, call their local offices. (My rep and senators have my phone number blocked or something because I get disconnected.)
THIS - this right here is how you counter garbage bothsides media and garbage bad-faith GOPers:

Pretty simple isn’t it? Starting an impeachment investigation does not mean that the Drumpf will be impeached. It just means that the Congress is doing it’s duty, based on the Mueller Report, to determine if high crimes and misdemeanors have been committed by this President and referring those results to the Senate.
That is the purview of the House. That is their job. Based on what we know, that is what they should do. The President has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, should be impeached by the House, the case should be referred to the Senate, and should be judged by John Roberts before a vote by the Senate.
Let the Senate decide

I’ve seen more than one pundit tweet that this hearing should have happened months ago, when the Report was still fresh in the minds of the public and national attention was upon its findings. Yet it didn’t happen because senior Dems worried if they were forced to subpoena Mueller, he’d either refuse to show up or he would show up but be totally uncooperative. Well, they finally did subpoena him and (surprise, surprise) the Bob Mueller who showed up seemed to radiate exasperation with the spectacle he was put through. Whatever value there was in this hearing was severely compromised by weeks of dithering and foot-dragging.

re: #24 William Lewis
From a comment over at Daily Kos:
Notable is that the Secret Service members present- whose very job is to be alert and notice every detail of the surroundings of the president- said nothing. These incredibly dedicated women and men must be chafing at the fact that their charge is such a pathetic human being that routinely defiles the spirit of the office they are sworn to protect.

Cari Wade Gervin — a longtime political reporter who covers Tennessee news, politics and gossip site The Dog and Pony Show — has accused 59-year-old Tennessee state Rep. Bill Sanderson of “openly soliciting sex” and sending “sexually explicit messages and pictures to men almost 40 years his junior” while voting repeatedly in favor of anti-LGBTQ legislation.
Sanderson resigned today. He says he’s resigning to run his business, White Squirrel Winery, but Gervin claims that his resignation was partly in response to the revealing of his same-sex encounters.

I still remember Democrats complaining about how Democrats failed to get the Senate last year, when it wasn’t even considered a possibility before the election.

And that’s it right there. Why do anything when Democrats are going to go after Democrats and Republicans are going to go after Democrats.
It took so long because Mueller didn’t want to do the meeting in public. And dragging the head of the investigation in would have been a disaster.

So instead we dragged him in months later, and we’re now sitting around trying to argue that even though it was a total shitshow, we at least got a few soundbytes that would have been useful three months ago.
President Donald Trump, his company and three of his children must face a class-action lawsuit in which people claim they were scammed into spending money on fraudulent, multilevel marketing ventures and a dubious live-seminar program.U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield in Manhattan ruled Wednesday that the case can go forward with claims of fraud, unfair competition, and deceptive trade practices. The decision likely opens the door for the plaintiffs to start gathering evidence from Trump and his company, including documents and testimony.
Schofield also dismissed federal racketeering claims, eliminating allegations that could have netted triple damages for the plaintiffs.
A group of four people claims the Trumps ripped off thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs by promoting two bogus multilevel marketing ventures and the live-seminar program that promised to teach Trump’s “secrets to success” in real estate.

The media will make just as much money tearing down a President as they can building one up. All they care about is money. If the public tide turns against Trump, they’ll be all-in on skimming from that gravy.

I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. If the Democrats vote to impeach, in, say, January, the Senate will have to hold a trial in February or March, based on precedent.
Of course, The Turtle could try to extend that timeline and appeal it to the Supreme Court, but in any case, the Senate will have to vote before the next election.

Unless the poll involves a scientifically selected random sample of respondents, it is worthless. If this is one of those polls with self-selected respondents, it’s meaningless.

Agriculture not taking enough of a hit from Trump’s tariffs, Mother Nature weighs in to hammer eastern Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle even further.
Irrigation tunnel collapse in Goshen County puts crops in jeopardy (Goes to the Casper, Wyo. Tribune-Eagle).
TL;DR version:
An irrigation tunnel collapsed in Goshen Co., Wyo. That caused water to back up in the canal, overtopping the banks and flooding eastern Wyoming farmland.
In addition, since no water can get through the tunnel, on the other side of it, 53,000 acres of Wyoming farmland and 55,000 acres of Nebraska farmland can get no water.
Governor Mark Gordon (R) of Wyoming met with engineers, water district managers from Ft. Laramie-Gering (Nebr) and Goshen districts, and others dependent on the irrigation system. (It stretches eighty-five miles through Wyoming and forty-five through Nebraska.)
Engineers say it will take two to four weeks to restore irrigation water beyond the collapsed tunnel, but right now is peak irrigation season. The tunnel is 14x14 feet and 100 feet below ground.

Once again, the press telling us how the rich are suffering.
They’re Not Middle Class, They’re Well-Off, and That Should Worry You
John Scalzi commenting on a New York Times piece entitled “What Middle Class Families Want Politicians to Know”
First, the NYT skews “middle class” near the top end of the income scale for their interviewees.
The New York Times last week ran a piece called What Middle-Class Families Want Politicians to Know, which featured interviews from a number of Americans, discussing their economic concerns and fears. The thing is, the large majority of the households represented in the piece have a six-figure income; while there is one fellow whose reported household income is $75k - $100k annually, the rest have incomes between $120k and $400k.
And, well. In terms of income, “middle class” has a specific meaning (at least, it does to Pew Research, whose definition I’m using here): It means you earn between 67% and 200% of median household income. In the US nationally, that’s between about $40k and $120k a year — which means that nationally speaking, all but one of the “middle class” households in this piece aren’t middle class at all, they’re above that. In specific cities and areas, that “middle class” range moves, sometimes considerably — for example, in super-expensive San Francisco, “middle class household income” is $67k to $200k, whereas in rural Darke County, Ohio, where I live, that range would be between $33.5K and $100k.

re: #58 Anymouse 🌹
The internets tell me that less than 10% of households have that income level.

Me: “I’m gonna buy this laptop so I have something to play games on during the boring nights at work.”

re: #59 A hollow voice says, Inpeach…
The internets tell me that less than 10% of households have that income level.
I don’t have 10% of the $400,000 some people claimed. Everything I own is probably worth less than $40,000.

I agree the will is lacking, though I imagine I disagree on which side. There’s a strong case to be made for the man’s removal from office and it’s not really being made, it’s being drug along like an unwanted puppy by a party that thinks it doesn’t need the damned thing to begin with. That it can win next year on “the issues,” as though both parties are just disagreeing on how to achieve the same goals when the reality is the other party is trying to clear the way for America’s first dictator.

At this point I don’t recall the context or who was involved— it was so long ago — but I remember some talk during Nixon’s time that Agnew was his secret weapon against removal from office because if there was one thing that everyone agreed on — no one wanted Agnew as President. But once Agnew was replaced by Ford, this concern vanished.

re: #82 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

The argument that others have made is that Pence doesn’t have Trump’s charisma, though his policies would probably be worse. Indeed, Trump’s domestic policies are standard Republican policies. Pence would not personally be a dictator or enrich himself at the public expense (probably) but his court appointments would in effect continue supporting new Jim Crow laws that would keep Republicans in office for the indefinite future. The question is whether the suburban Republican women would return to the Republican party if the face of the party is a boring theocrat like Pence instead of a raving misogynist and racist like Trump.

He would certainly nail down the Fundamentalist “family values” (as in homophobic, patriarchal and anti-abortion/contraception) constituency, but the truly deplorable sick fucks who make up the hard-core of the GOP core supporters would not be as moved to vote for him.
A very large part of the electorate would like to be bored right now.
The valley was getting *crushed* by snow at that time. For the first time since they opened the boundaries (2000) they closed the backcountry due to extreme avalanche danger. They were getting one to two feet of snow every day for almost two weeks.

We have kids in cages, Trump’s openly racist attacks on 4 Congresswomen and his ongoing criminality and confirmed obstruction of Justice. People are either aware of this or not paying attention. So Trump’s increase in approval doesn’t suggest a problem with Democratic politicians, it suggests a problem with the American people.
It’s denial. Everyone wants to go on pretending that America isn’t full of racist, fascist fuckwits and their allies the “I don’t really care, do you” demographic. All the “if Democratic politicians had only done X at exactly time Y then all those invisible, decent Americans would be demanding Trump’s immediate removal from office” whining is just an exercise in gaslighting ourselves. Decent people who aren’t in self imposed comas would already want Trump removed.
But impeachment proceedings… Apparently, nobody paid attention to yesterday, because that’s exactly what they’d look like. Democrats or their surrogates would be asking serious questions, Republicans would be conspiracy theory firehoses and the media would declare the Republicans winners because facts are boring, but Gym Jordan tearing off his shirt and smearing himself in monkey feces and bear urine is TV gold.

I hope the “just trust Mueller/Pelosi” types snap out of their silliness and pay attention to how the Puerto Ricans got it done (Hong Kong too…hell, even the anti-Boris-Johnson protests).
re: #21 Anymouse 🌹
People need to be in the streets striking for the Republic as they have done in San Juan. Puerto Ricans are showing how it’s done.
People with Democratic representatives and senators need to be burning up the phones to their representatives; if you can’t get through, call their local offices. (My rep and senators have my phone number blocked or something because I get disconnected.)
Here’s my worry about this all: The number of Puerto Ricans protesting relative to their total population was astronomical, but on top of that, it was a very well self contained demonstration just by the general size of PR itself.
Meanwhile, look at the large scale protests we’ve had in the US, city by city and across the entire country….and look how massively they fizzled despite the numbers. Even with the total numbers both in each city and total nationwide, they couldn’t come close to the amount of participation per capita PR’s did. This is on top of the fact that media did its whole damnedest to ensure that not only the number of protesters was downplayed by factors of at least 100 (turning literal millions of protesters into mere ‘thousands’), but did their best to ensure that whatever message sent was diluted, either through amplifying agent provocateurs, but also through sheer misrepresentation and mockery of the actual message itself.
We’re still at the entire mercy of a media apparatus that will ensure that the rest of the country sees a sideshow, no matter how many hundreds of thousands crush DC with protests repeatedly.
TL;DR - PR’s size and collective shared suffering made these protests much harder to ignore than anything we could do, and the history of our mass protests have been at the whim of adversarial media per always.

It takes years to develop a culture of effective demonstration, and even then an action can be turned. The civil rights and anti-war movements worked, but they had a lot of missteps until they got it right. This generation is at Year Zero, not even able to keep Black Bloc/Antifa ratfuckers from hijacking a peaceful demo. If that’s the way to go, it’s past time to find competent leaders and a coherent message.

It’s that Mueller wasn’t a compelling witness, which wasn’t true either.
Epstein taken to hospital after being found in cell unconscious. There’s no word on whether this was an assault or a suicide attempt.
Either way, the MCF oversight of Epstein was lacking - he should not have been allowed to be put in this position.
Of course, the conspiracy nuts are out - claiming that this was another Clinton hit (all of them uniformly ignoring that Trump has close ties to Epstein).

If he’s returned to MCF, he’ll need to be on suicide watch and handled accordingly. No contact with any other prisoners and make sure he doesn’t have anything that might allow him to attempt suicide.

The problem is the media thinks those people are the default American. There is no default American.
Meanwhile the Cult Of The Fetus will stop at nothing to interfere with a woman’s right to choose.
A doctor who has said he invented a procedure to “reverse” abortion has for years falsely claimed an affiliation to a prestigious US medical school, the Guardian can reveal.
Dr George Delgado, the medical director of Culture of Life Family Services in San Diego, claims to have invented a “reversal”, in which women are given a large dose of progesterone following the first dose of a medicated abortion.
Delgado’s assertions about the “reversal” procedure have been denounced as “unproven and unethical” in a statement from America’s largest association of women’s doctors, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. His work has been described as an “unmonitored research experiment” in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Despite condemnation from the medical community, Delgado’s claims have been adopted by some Republican state legislators as part of a wider campaign to undermine women’s reproductive rights. North Dakota legislators recently passed a law forcing doctors to tell patients medication abortions are reversible, the fifth state to do so in 2019.
You have to go to the UK Guardian to read this since the Screw York Times is too busy kissing Trump’s ass.

Here’s what I tweeted to Nancy Pelosi:
You realize that Trump will be re-elected if you don’t impeach him, yes?
Because you’ve turned your back on all the people who gave Dems the majority in the hope that you’ll hold Trump accountable when the GOP won’t.
All those Dems who were excited to vote for U will stay home.— Hal Perry (@halperry) July 25, 2019
I am afraid that Trump’s re-election has been sealed. No matter who the Dem nominee is.
Even if Biden wins the nomination, who many think is the best chance to woo back those white working class voters who defected from Obama to Trump, because the base will abandon the Dems because Pelosi refuses to impeach Trump.
Pelosi is of that wing of moderate Democrats who came of political age in the 70’s and 80’s, when Democrats were being wiped out and to believe that Democrats had their best chance to be relevant by moving to the right (or appearing not to be too left wing). It’s almost a knee jerk reaction of hers to think that anything the progressive base wants it too radical and is going to alienate moderate or right leaning voters. In the past when Democrats have won the White House, enough of the base holds their nose and votes for Clinton or Obama, but then stays far away from the polls during the midterms to allow the “Republican Revolution” in 1994, or the Tea Party waves of 2010 and 2014, the latter two of which set the stage for Trumpism. In those midterms, the base was ignored on crucial issues like health care (Obama ditching the public option without ever really promoting it), and they’re being ignored now, and I fear this avoidance of impeaching Trump will have the same result.

Claim to be the law and order guy, while you’re breaking law and order daily.
Never mind that death penalty cases are far more costly than life incarceration without parole. We’ve repeatedly seen that defendants in death penalty cases have been exonerated of the crimes for which they were convicted. Racial discrimination also means that minorities are disproportionately convicted on death penalty cases. In a well known study out of PA, the odds of receiving the death penalty in Philadelphia increased by 38% when the accused was black.

Of course. State mandated murder is a joy to the GOP. They’ll even tell you so at the same time that they pretend to be “Pro-Life”. I have lots of issues with the Bishop of Rome, but this is not one of them.

That is one thing I do appreciate Rome for too. Even Pope Benedict who was reactionary minded saw the DP for what it is.

Remember when this paper exposed the Pentagon Papers?
This morning, the Department of Justice announced they would resume capital punishment. Let me be clear: capital punishment is immoral and deeply flawed. Too many innocent people have been put to death. We need a national moratorium on the death penalty, not a resurrection.

Daily example of how it always projection with Republicans.
A bitterly divided House Oversight Committee voted along party lines on Thursday to give Chairman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) the authority to subpoena all White House work communications sent via email and personal cellphone.
…
Cummings had asked the administration about reports that some top White House officials — including President Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner — used personal email and encrypted applications to communicate. … Source: WaPo

One comment on the questioning of Mueller: When Mike Mansfield was Senate Majority Leader, the anchors on the Sunday morning talk shows always had to prepare many questions because he was infamous for confining his answers to “yes” and “no”. He did not elaborate when a single word response was available. Mueller seems to be cut from the same cloth.

He was a good leader. Got the CRA 1964 passed.
At the end of the day, Muller is just another a Republican: willingly putting party and power before country.
His legacy is going to be that of the guy who had the best chance of preventing the US from becoming a dictatorship, but refused because he knows he’ll be safe from the damage Trump and the GOP are wreaking.
Seriously, eff him. He knows what Trump is doing and has basically become a human shruggie emoticon.

You mean besides the convictions and indictments he’s already gotten?
I’m still waffly on calling for impeachment because so many Democrats in the House aren’t committed, but Mueller did quite a bit, and has left the things to Congress that he had to leave. It is not his fault that he was operating under the control of the people who he was investigating. It’s not his fault that McConnell keeps blocking security bills.

Post = Watergate, Pentagon Papers = NYT
Pentagon Papers was both; Ellsberg wasn’t sure if either paper could be intimidated out of publishing so he wanted to hedge his bets (also, if the administration caught wind of it and rushed into court for an injunction, maybe they’d be so busy with one they wouldn’t have noticed the other)
