I don't normally follow Craig Silverman (not a fan of right-wing talk radio). But now that he's lost his show, this turned up in the Colorado Sun. Cory Gardner, if he read it, probably just rolled his eyes.
Nice try, Craig.
Seen on Yahoo! News over the weekend just past (slightly paraphrased)…..
Question: how can one be a president beloved by evangelicals who worship on your every word and believe you can do no wrong?
Answer: you "raw dog" a porn star while your 3rd wife is pregnant with your 5th child.
Actually, didn't the raw dogging of the porn star occur shortly after the birth of the 5th child?
Thou shalt covet thy Daughter
How do we know this poll has credibility? OD spent the weekend attacking Fox News
William Webster, 95, speaks to the betrayal of our nation's principles and the dire threat to our democracy from Trump and today's Republican Party
Wasn't Webster one of the directors who had to clean up the mess left by J. Edgar and Clyde at the FBI during the reign of terror?
Speaking of Republicans critical of Trump, Carly Fiorina was interviewed on CNN this morning about her new book. She called for Trump's impeachment. But then she went on to say that she voted for him in 2016, has been "disappointed" in him since (gee, couldn't see that one coming, Carly?), and while she may vote for a Democrat this time, she is open to voting for Trump again depending upon who his opponent is.
Kind of reminded me of Susan Collins' ditzy speech explaining her Kavanaugh vote.
Let's withhold the articles of impeachment from the Senate.
The Republican Party is on trial, not Trump. The Democratic Party should withhold sending articles of impeachment to the Senate, until such a time as a fair trial is scheduled.
Keep running impeachment hearings all through the campaign season. Add new articles of impeachment one-by-one.
Let's set a Perjury Trap.
Also, file subpoenas for administration officials to testify to Congress. Force them to testify under oath. Force Giuliani to bug his eyes out, Jim Jordan to yell, and Devin Nunes to do verbal yoga poses.
Well, that probably won't occur until sometime after the 2022 election. Do you really want to wait until then?
Given that the Republican Senate will not vote to impeach, I'm absolutely fine with waiting. Let Trump stew in his own juices until ripe… or rotten, as the case may be.
It has the advantage that Trump can't be pardoned, unless there is such a thing as pre-emptive pardoning.
But even in January of 2023, if the Democrats have taken the majority, they will only have 52 or 53 seats. (And one of those may still be held by Joe Manchin.) They will never have the 67 votes needed to consummate the impeachment process.
Are you just trying to avoid an acquittal which will give him bragging rights to his "self-professed innocence"? Because I can understand that. Just leave him impeached but never tried.
Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on the 3 Trump-related evidence cases in March, and will likely issue a decision by June. Even if they do what some court watchers think most likely (determine standards for what is a "reasonable" request and remand to the District Courts to apply those principles), the initial decisions on whether subpoenas were justified or not would likely be out before the November election in 2020.
HuffPost headlines an Andrew Romanoff campaign ad. Their take:
Looks like Romanoff has a real hot video going out.now. Getting people's attention looks good.
It is a good video on climate change. But Pols will find a way to spin it to mock Romanoff and boost Hickenlooper. All the while claiming that they are completely unbiased.
Maybe Frackenquaffer can show some of those new space videos? They’re really cool . . .
. . . On second thought, maybe a nice campaign commercial standing in the shower might be a better idea??
Vote for me or Burn in Hell!
Has the kiwi bird found her man?
And abandoning whats-her-face?
Stock market at record high. Lowest unemployment in 50 years. Lowest unemployment in every racial demographic. USMCA and China trade deals negotiated. Family leave. Money for the wall. Booming economy. Space Force to protect America in the coming centuries. Men/women to return to space. Fewer families needing food stamps. Real wages up. All because “some people did something”; they voted for Donald J Trump.
Thank you, Vladimir ??
Vlad says: Right back at you.
But not for you, Roger. It's so hard to figure out,
What, me worry! Thank you for your concern, very sweet of you.
Not so fast
The median income of $47,000 cannot support a family these days.
You haven't gotten your news from the Vlad-approved sources that Roger gets his from, so it doesn't count in his mind.
If we have enough money for the wall why are we looking at the possibility of another Government Shutdown?
"lowest unemployment in 50 years…….." If that's the case, why is my reading showing that manufacturing, especially in the Midwest, is now in recession due to lay-offs and other losses in jobs?
What's happening with all those coal mining jobs in Appalachia that never came back, now joined by major coal job losses in Wyoming and elsewhere, as coal fired power plants also are closing?
USMCA trade deal…….somebody didn't really research that. It's basically a clone of NAFTA, with a tweak here and there. Of course, we could have had the TPP trade agreement. But Trump was OK with allowing China to try and claim economic hegemony over the western Pacific.
Sharp drops in unemployment in the past often have brought commensurate earnings, but not this time around.
Sure the unemployment rate is next to nothing. What the reports don't say is that a lot of those jobs don't pay anywhere near $28 an hour. Most of them are minimum wage or not much better, and jobs are scarce because a lot of people are working more than one of those not-so-great jobs to make ends meet.
Indeed, unnamed. Turns out that some real conservatives in south Texas don't want their private property taken to support Trump's Folly (his wall).
If I lived down there, I'd be grabbing for the business of selling those circular saws that cut right through Trump's "glorious wall." Meanwhile, back in the world of reality, Trump continues to ignore the, by far, largest source of illegals in the country: people who overstay visas.
Did I mention that at this peak of the economic cycle Trump is running a deficit of $1 trillion a year? Worst deficit in history and we have nothing to show for it except a pile of sweat stained MAGA caps.
Trump stinks.
So. Democrats don’t care about it either. Spending bills originate in the Democratic controlled House.
Pear overlooks the fact that when Trump's tax cut for billionaires passed Congress, both Houses were controlled by Republicans. Can't blame the Dems for that. As for "money for the wall," Trump tries to blame the Dems also for him not getting wall money.
But, the Republicans didn't come up with any wall money either when they controlled both Houses in 2017 and 2018.
And to add to the fun, Russian media is now admitting that Trump is their agent.
In the Colorado Republican primary, I'll be voting Bill Weld for President.
This. The #taxscam blew a hole in our budget. And you can thank your Dear Leader and his Republican-run congress for passing that piece of shit.
Pear overlooks the obvious (or actually, those pesky facts):
His stock portfolio is doing well (greed is good until the music stops and the party comes to a crashing halt).
Trump hasn’t been President for decades, to bad for America. But nice try.
The facts in that article illustrate the problem that started with Reagan's Voodoo economics, leading to today's vast income disparity favoring the already wealthy, who through the Trump/GOP tax cut continue to be showered with cash that would have been more productively spent on rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure rather than mortgaging our public highways and converting them to toll roads.
Republican economic policies have been plundering our treasury and squandering our future for the last 40 years.
You will love this Democrat spending proposal.

Thanks, Pear. I can now add yet another worthless, far right wing, rag, to my list of such. I checked a few other things out. Lots of fake news on Summit News.
Go easy on the simpleton there, CHB. He’s had an awfully tough pfruity day trying to scurry up any local fascist or Kremlin news source distractions that aren’t reporting majorities in favor of impeachment ever since even The FOX Propaganda Ministers couldn’t keep denying that truth . . .
NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll: Biden, Sanders Lead 2020 Democratic Race
Wonderful news, but I don’t see the KOOK category percentage.
That's because they're all voting for Trump
DCCC to Consultants: Helping to Elect a Republican? Sure, We’ll Work With You
Placing cops in public schools makes students safer, at least when the cops aren't body-slamming the children.
The piece of shit in the vid is on paid leave, because the depicted actions may well have been an entirely reasonable use of force. Who knows, the kid may have been a smart-mouth!
